4 Our neighbor, the Washington Sentinel;
having gotten rid of the trouble, inconvenience,
and expense Of executing the printing for the
Senate, has wheeled into line, and is now doing
good service to the country by exposing the
affinities of the administration or Sag Nicbt
party with Black Republicanism. The Sssti-
mel is not content with . simple exposition Of
the Presidents Free-soil proclivities, but
h4yges directly npon him and his Cabinet the

notwithstanding all this, which. is true to
the letter, South Carolina goes for him, without
platform, pledges, or even an enunciation of his
principles; az SO do all the disunionists of the
South--thus proving conclusivcly that while
| they prato and bluster about Southern rights,
Southern institutions, and tho Constitution,
they are willing and anxious to re-elect Pierce
President, knowing full well that the Black
Republican party which they affect to hate
and despise, owes its origin, rise and progress
| to his administration. 9G 81
| The Sentinel is but the reflector of the
views Of Senator'S Hunter, Mason, Butler.
Iverson, and Representatives Powell, Caskie,
and sthers and it is but fair to infer that the
Sentinel has correctly spoken their opinions
in the foregoing extract. Here, then, is the
testimony of Hunter, Mason, Butler, and Pow
ell, the Black Republican party owes its
origin entirely and solely to the "habitual
withdrawing, and shuffling, and undecided
course" of policy pursued by the adrninistra-
ton; and notwithstanding this high authority,
the Southern Sag Nichts and disunionists are
alarmed, forsooth, because the Convention of
"oficc seekers and demagogues" may sell
itself to some other aspirant than President
Pierce. And says the Sentinel.
Peace, quiet, order, and conHdence roigned
throughout the land, and the great Democratic
party, flushed with victory, but wearied with the
labor of it's purchase, laid itssR down to rest The
patronage power had to be welded and soon was
discovered that absurd ambition of the President
to unite the Free-soil and New York constitutional
men ip common brotherhood--a attempt which
proved not only futile, but fatal to his admnistra
\, ton."
The patronage pcwerl' did all the mischief
eh and the great Democratic party, flushed
| with victory, but wearied with the labors of its
purchase, has been disbanded "by the cohesive
power of public plundor" which the President
welded to cement the Free-soilers and Fire
eaters into one party. To the latter he gave
promises, and to the former he gave spoils, and
adds the Sentinel: i. set 6 1sgrl q
No sooner, however, did they snuff the spoils
Tor which they painted, and, which they hoped, as
the result proves, with too much truth would enure
to them under this place, than they began again to
breathe freer, and, from gasping corpse, under
the galvanc battery of government patronage Il
