The DELAWARE SENTINEL. This paper ar
nounced in its issue OF last week that it had com
menced the ''advocacy of the principles and polio
ofthe Democratic party" The Sentinel has com
mitted many blunders, within the past few months
but this is the most egregious of all. In the frs
place 1t took decided stand against the act tor h,
suppression of incompetence, and as consequence
aienated from it all the friends Of that law.

Fillmore and Donelson Mt the. head of Its columns
until within few weeks of the election. In the
third place 1t underworld to get up an Independent
ticket which proved miserable failure. In the
fourth place it has turned Locofooo, and that
is the greatest blunder of all its laundering as
1t cannot take the place of the Reporer, and
that party has not the patronage to sustain
two papers in Kent County. The editors saw that
they veed the whole Democratic ticket at the
election making the peridious act matter of boast
l1n view of all tho above blunders the paper could
notreasonably expect 10 be supported The adyo>
cries ct temperance would not encourage it; the de.
eided Fillmore men held nloof and looked on with
distrust; the fremOnters declined to come to the
rescue the independent party proved a miserable
hpofuon; the rumites found in the Reporter moro
aoe advocate, and the sentinel we regret to say
IL was forced, as matter of self preservation into
'nis STEPS which will most assnredly involve it moro

plead in extenuaton of the act the proyocation af

y, to which we may again allude if circumstances
should appear to require us to do so.
We will add in conclusion that the Sentine al Ind
much better menced the advocacy of American
principles, aud showed by straight forward con.
sseeht course that it was determined to make all
amends in its power for its past shoit comines If
1t had done so, it would have succeeded in ostnb,
fishing itself firmly in The good feelings of the neo.

II may yet retrace it.
