Washington sentinel., 1856-07-24
From the Louisville Journal.

The Washington Sentinel calls the Republi.
can nominee "a man of straw" The phrase
is very happy one, iuasmuch as the Republi-
cans are just at present "sucking up" the
SentineTs party with a relish and rapidity
worthy of the season. Every breeze from the
North comes laden with omnous gurgings
which tell of Democratic spirits passing through
the Republican straw. At the present rate of
suction, Democracy at the North will be to-
tally drunk by Republicanism, and Repubi-
cans totally drunk with Democracy, before
next month. The probability is strong that
one fine November morning they will both be
found dead drunk. 1t is strange that, with the
thermometer at ninety-fve in the shade, our
friend of the Sentinel should not have be-
thought himself that a "man of straw" is the
man of all the world for catching +" suckers"
Our friend of the Louisville Journal in the
above article is thrusting at US with the edge
in his own hand and the hilt towards us.
We have only to remind him, that in Michi-
igan the 9 man of straw has sucked up" every
Fillmore man-there is not one left to squeal-
Vermont ditto, Maine ditto, Rhode Island
ditto, Iowa, We think, ditto. And-more om-
nous than all-the only point South of Mason
gudgeons small enough to pass through his
straw, is precisely the locality of our friends;
he is already in the vortex of suction-good
by old fellow, if we should never see you
more. Fillmore can't get up an electoral
ticket in any of the above States, while the
only State south, in which the "man of fstraw"
can find food for his digestion is the State of
our friend.
In which State is the Democratic party with
out an electoral ticket.
In Pennsylvania, though numbering less
than sixth of the Fillmore party, the party
of the man of straw is swallowing the other
alive.
With the head and shoulders of his own
party sucked in through the man of "sraw,"
our friend had better quickly lay hold on the
heels still sticking ont, or all will soon be
drawn into the Black Republican man through
this man of " straw"

BEDFORD, July 10, 1856.
Nuts for MIR. Hamiin.

Mr.. Hamlin is very desolate about the Mis-.
souri, Compromise. He is in the freesoil Gem
etery all the time. He mourns, like Rachel
weeping for her children, because the Missouri
Compromise is no more. One would think it
was a pet child of his, and that he loved it
dearly. He laments its loss with outcries that
begin in the Senate and are heard in Maine.
So Macbeth was clamorous over the good King
Duncan. Yet Macbeth killed the King him
sell! And Mr.. Hamlin's love for the Missouri
Compromise was very much like the love of
Macbeth for Duncan. He hated it while it
lived and now sheds tears at its tomb
On the 22d of July, l848, Mr.. Hamlim made
a speech in the United States Senate on the
Oregon bill. From that speech we make the
following extracts:
"The spirit of the Missouri Compromise is
not the spirit which marked the wisdom of the
trainers of the Constitution. | would not vote
to extend an arbitrary line which permits the
extension OF slavery over portion of this con-
tinent.
:" ! did not then vote for the Missouri Com
promise, and l ,could not rote for 1t to-day. l
would vote for no arbitrary line, even if it took
the southern boundary of New Mexico and
California, running to the coast Of the Pacific.
l would vote for no rigid, fixed line, whether
upon direct parallel of latitude or winding,
because 1t acould lead to sectional parties
Let us have nothing of abolition, either
North or South, nor fix lines which shall divide
a country without regard to its character or
construction. But let the character of the
country be determined and settled as it shall
be on its acquisition. If free, so Jetit remain,
and so let IL be preserved. If slaue, So then,
let at continue, acithou our action
This is Mr.. Hamlin in lS4S. In 1856, he
seems to think that this very compromise which
he here denounces, is the loveliest think on
earth.
Bnt look at the territorial doctrine developed
by Mr. Hamlin in these extracts on the subject
of slavery. "lf free, so let it remain. If
slave, so, then, let it continue" The language
is clear and the principle unmistakable. Ap-
piled TO the Louisiana purchase, where slavery
existed at the time of acquisition, land of
which Kansas was part) it would fasten
slavery upon the people and the soil forever.
Applied to Cuba, in favor of whose acquisition
Mr.. Hamlin has repeatedly spoken, it would
have the same effect there. No trouble, on
this theory, about popular sovereignty and
congressional sovereignty! The question of
free soil or slave soil is determined before the
country is acquired! Determined under for
eign government! Determined so strongly as
to be fixed and Interchangeable! Consistent Mr..
Hamlim.-EaSteyn Argus.

is not to be voted for, nor will she be part
of the Administration. Are we to transfer the
follies of European courts to our republican
system, or retain the Salique law, which ex-
cluding woman from the strifes of men in
politics, reserves her for that purer sphere of
love, and her subjects will yield entire devotion
to her peaceful reign?
The times are out of joint Nero fiddles,
while Rome is burning, lighted up by his own
hand The canvass is to be conducted among
free people, under the influence of ribald
songs, and triumph is to be heralded
with the vulgar and pretended chivalry of a
mob of plotters of treason! Shame! upon a
party which seeks power by such unworthy
MEANS for such diabolical purposes. Let the
true men of the North, among whom it exists,
put il down, now and forever!
We present a man, whose demerit is, he
Is a bachelorl Atrocious crime How can
Mr.. BUCHANAN hope to rival Johnnyn-the
Benedict? We present a man, whose merit
is, that be is welded TO his country-to her
prosperity-to her glory His vow at the
altar of God is to be true to her, TO honor and
to love her until death. Most faithfully has he
cherished that vow, and now that his whitening
hairs remind him that his service to her must
soon cease, that crown of honor is more deeply
devoted to her interests, and to her advance.
ment, than when in life's morning he dedicated
it to her. He claims no Fictitious popularity
by reason of his domestic ties. His integrity
has been tested by forty years of faithful SER
vice-his ability having been tried in the con.
hicts of the past, he is better fitted for the
labors of the future, and in the discharge of
the highest official duties; he will realize the
promise of his early and successful career.
A rational people cannot hesitate between
James Buchanan and John c.. Fremont, to
prefer the tried and faithful statesman to the
untried, unstable, and now dangerous leader
of traitor faction. Let all national men Of
the North concentrate upon James Buchanan
to defeat the hero of Black Republican min
strelsy, and the country will be safe and

of the great conservative army, We may find
irreconcilable animosites pervading our ranks
Remember that the election of Black Repub-
lican Speaker of the House of Representatives
was caused by the acerbities of political war
fare. Remember that by this event your enc
mics have been enabled 10 divert the influences
of Congress to your injury. To that event is
to be attributed, among other evils, the mission
of an er parte Committee into Kansas, to en-
courage civil war and store the magazines of
abolition with Misrepresentation of your inter-
ests and Of your rights.
Let US then SO conduct this campaign as to
cast our votes for some undoubted representa-
tive of our rights Let us, in the event the
union of the South for the safety Of the South
should become necessary, have as few animosi-
ties to reconcile as possible, and if we cannot
secure the election of our friends, let us at
least preserve ourselves from the reproach Of
having caused the triumph of our enemies.
Truly and gratefully your friend,
WIN. M. BURWELL.

Arrival OF the Steamer Persia.

The Cunard steamer Persia, with Liverpool
dates of the 18th, arrived at New York on the
23d instant.
There is but little news of interest Polti.
cal affairs were quiet. The Tipperary militia
had revolted, but were suppressed with loss of
three killed. There is nothing new respecting
American afflirs. The tone of the press was
much milder on the Central American ques-
ton. The Crimea had been completely evac
uated.
