The Philadelphia Times accompanies the
announcement of the Hon. Thomas II. Bayly,
late representative in Congress from Virginia,
with the following interesting remarks:
When Mr.. Wise was appointed Minister to
Brazil by President Tyler, in 1912 or l943, Mr.
Bayly was elected to the vacancy created in his
district by his resignation. Soon after taking
his seat he attracted the attention Of the House
by bis yigor Of style and breadth of know
ledge as exhibited in parliamentary discussion
During the fierce Onslaught made by the Wings
| led on by Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, and
Robert Schenck, Of Ohio, upon the war mea
sures of Mr.. Polk, not one Of the Democratic
members bore himself more CALAMITY or re-
PEELED their repeated assaults more vigorously
than he.
So high did the debate run between Mr.
Davis and himself SO much thrusting and par
rying took place between these leaders Of con
tending hosts, that personal issue grew out
of it. A challenge passed, and the terms of a
hostile meeting we're arranged, when, by the
interposition Of friends, it was finally settled.
Mr.. Bsyly, by his close application to bust
ness, his readiness and preparation, added to
considerable natural abilities, was assigned
the post Of leader in the House by his political
friends, which would naturally have fallen TO
Robert l.. Dromgoole, his colleague, had not
the dissipated habits of the latter deranged and
untitled that truly great parliamentarian and
orator for the arduous responsibilities Of the
position. 1t thus fell to Mr.. Bayly, and he
kept it for several successive Congresses.
Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-06-28

this to Mr.. Buchanan's declaration when he
says that he accepts the resolutions constitut-
ing the platform of principles erected by the
Convention in the same spirit as that which
prompts his acceptance Of the nomination ten
dered to him by his party, namely, desire so
to discharge the duties of the high office to
which he aspires as "to allay domestic strife,
preserUe peace and friendship cih foreign ma
tons, and promote the best interests of the
Republic" These we know may seem to the
censorous nothing more than vague general
ties but we trust that the conservatism and
prudence resulting, it may be hoped, from Mr.
Buchanan's age and experience will give to
them scope and an application which shall
restrict within safe bounds the "lawless spirit
which seems unhappily to be but too rife in
certain classes of our country, and to which, in
an unfortunate episode of his late diplomatic
career, Mr.. Buchanan himself seems to have
furnished some countenance and sympathy.
But, while giving to his letter the acknow-
Judgement of our admiration and respect, we
refrain from evoking any recolections which
may seem to mar the sincerity of our praise,
and for a like reason we forbear all comment
upon the Interpretation which Mr.. Buchanan
gives to certain disputed point of Democratic
doctrine respecting the power of q Territory to
establish or prohibit the institution of slavery.
Mr.. Buchanan, it will be seen, gives in his ad-
hesion to the principle Of "squatter sovereignty"
las it is popularity called) in terms the most de-
finite and express, understanding, as he does,
that Congress, by its recent legislation upon
this subject, has Simply declared that the people
eta Territory, like those of State, shall de-
eide for themselves whether slavery shall or
shall not exist within their limits"
We may also say, in conclusion, that we are
glad to observe the evidences afforded by the
Democratic press in certain quarters that Mr..
Buchanan will not be without the support of
influential portions Of his party, if, as we have
ventured to hope from his letter accepting the
nomination, he is disposed to give wise and
conservative construction to those measures of
Objectionable public policy which party pru-
denee and fealty may not permit him unequiv-
ocally to reject.

THE WASHINGTON SENTINEL.

Since the happy issue of the Cincinnati Con-
vention, in presenting the names of two justly
distinguished and irreproachable Statesmen, as
the candidates of the Democratic party for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency Of the United
States, we had almost concluded to suspend
the publication of the Sentinel.
We intend to be frank-we had really been
too greatly oppressed already by the effort to
maintain, wholly by private resources, paper
which, Notwithstanding its Democratic record,
without blot or stain, has been placed entirely
beyond the pale of Congressional or Executive
favor. These two acknowledged and necessa-
ny sources Of nutriment to the successful pub
LEGATION of political journals in Washington,
have been even more completely closed to US,
than to our political adversaries. At this, we
have no complaints to record or murmurings
to utter. We are sufficiently satisfied, that we
have held ourself clear in our true mission, and
that our independence has been preserved
intact and mistaken.
| Under these circumstances, as we have said,
we had more than half inclined to abandon
the Sentinel, Other counsels prevailed, and
| upon conference with Democratic friends, we
resolved not to withdraw our battery in the
face of the enemy.
| Before, however, we could complete our ar.
rangements for the permanent continuance of the
Sentinel, land which we are happy to announce,
we have now fully consummated,) severe
spell of illness interviewed, which left us no
alternative but temporary suspension.
1t is with much pride and satisfaction, there
fore, that we present this morning to our
readers and the public the Sentinel, which we
contemplate in few days to improve in APP
pearance. We trust to make it worthy not
only of the continued kindness of its present
patrons, but of a far more extended patronage
of our Democratic friends throughout the
| Union.
The Sentinel will be issued weekly and tri-
| weekly, as usual, until the 22d of July, when.
in addition to these, We propose to resume its
daily issue.
We have deemed thus much necessary. by
way Of explanation Of our temporary suspen.
sion; and we hope that such of our contempt
raries as have referred to it will do US the
kindness either TO publish this statement or to
take such other notice of it as may be most
agreeable and convenient to them

From the Washington Union.
SWALLOWING Old Rnck.

We give place with pleasure to the note be-
low from friend Of Colonel Benton, and assure
the writer that we shall be as much gratified
as he can be when his prediction is verified
that Colonel Benton and his friends will not
suffer the electoral vote (of Missouri) to be cut
in twain and lost to Mr.. Buchanan II would
have been much more satisfactory if Mr.. Que
senberry had pointed to some facts indicating
the probable realization Of his hopes He Is
IN error IN supposing that we are actuated by
any other than "good humor" towards Colonel
Benton. We have vivid recollection of the
injurious effects in several southern States Of
his mode Of supporting Mr. Polk in 1914, and
our object is to avoid similar consequences in
the canvass of 1866. We think our correspon-
dent IS rather unfortunate in the application of
his anecdoie. II we read Colonel Benton,s
speeches and his organs in Missouri correctly.
they have swallowed Old Buck but without
the shell and ALL" We want Old Buck
elected on the platform Of principles on which
be was nominated, and which he has so cor
daily and earnestly adopted and endorsed.
Colonel Benton and bis Missouri friends re-
pudate essential portions of the platform, and
ignore the National Democratic Organization
OF which he is the nominee. But we repeat
that we shall congratulate our friend Quesen-
berry when Colonel Benton and his friends
verify the prediction that the electoral vote of
Missouri will not be cut in twain by their per.
sisting in the support Of separate Benton
electoral ticket. We shall then believe that
they have swallowed Old Buck, shell and ALL:

believe that he is not only sincere in his support
of Mr.. Buchanan, but that he will render him
an essential service in Missouri service
which, perhaps, no other man in the State can
render-in concentrating the democratic vote
upon him. | think it will shortly appear Ito
borrow an illustration from Solomon) who is
the "true mother of the child" Col Benton
and his friends will not suffer the electoral vote
to be cut in twain and lost to Mr.. Buchanan.
l would be peace-maker if knew how, and
wonld be glad to see you in good humor with
Col. Benton. You have heard the story OF
Captain Tobin of the Mexican war. He was
held accountable by the Second Auditor for
some property The Captain replied by an
anecdote Of the Irishman who swallowed an egg,
and heard the chirp of the chicken just Matching;
but the little bird spoke too late, or the kind
hearted son Of Erin would have spared it. So
Captain Tobin would have accounted for the
property, but the Auditor spoke too late-the
stirring events of the Mexican war had dissi-
pated the Captains memory, and the property
too.
The application: Col. Benton and his friends
have been so industriously at work for Mr.
Buchanan, that they have failed to give suff
cent vouchers for the support which you
charge to be insincere. You have spoken toe
late. They have already swallowed old Buck
shell and all.
Your friend and fellow servant,

Two Week. Later from CALIFORNIA;.

New ORLEANS, June 26.-The steamship
Granada has arrived from Aspinwall, via San
Juan, with San Francisco dates of the 9th
instant two weeks later. She reports the mail
steamer Illinois for New York to have on
board 900 passengers and $2,250, 900 in trea-
sure
The news from California is of much inter
est. Casey and Cora were hung on the 22d
ultimo. The funeral of Mr.. King took place
on the same day, and was characterized by the
most perfect decorum throughout. The Vigi.
lance Committee had arrested several other
desperate characters, among whom was the
notorious Yankee Sullivan. On the first of
June Sullivan committed suicide in his cell at
the Committee Rooms, leaving behind him
confession in regard to the election in San
Francisco.
On the second the opponents of the Vigilance
Committee held a meeting to denounce the
Committee, but it proved total failure.
Several murders and accidents are recorded
in the interior.
The health of San Francisco was good. A
moderate business was doing.
Rumors were circulated that Governor John
son would call means into requisition to sup
press the revolution, but no such steps had
been taken up to the departure of the steamer.
| These rumors created much excitement through
| ont the State. Word came TO San Francisco
that thousand men were ready to march to
the assistance of the Committee. Martial law
| had been declared in San Francisco. Sacra-
mento offers to furnish thousand men to
assist the Committee. The excitement was
great and continually on the increase. The
| Committee were determined to carry out their
measures, and continued making arrests. An
opposition force was organizing with seven
hundred stand of arms, and there were rumors
of an attack on the Committee rooms. The
rooms were doubly guarded, and two cannon
| were before the door loaded with grape. All
the San Francisco papers, except the Herald,
| take sides with the Committee.
Indian hostiities in Oregon we're partially
suppressed.
| A difficulty had arisen in Washington Terri
| tory on account of the attempt of Judge Saun-
ders to hold court during the existence of
martial law. The Judge was captured and put
in safe keeping until peace was established.

The bankrupt leaders of the Black Repubi
can party are cunningly filing their own
pockets by getting up Kansas meetings, and
wringing stock Of money from lschrymosc
sympathizers. The Dayton (0.) Empire
makes capital suggestion in regard to the
appropriation Of some Of the funds raised for
Kansas. Lane, the blatant Abolitionist, is Pre-.
sident Of The Philadelphia Black Republican
Convention, and, referring to his domestic rir.
tues, the Empire says:
We can see no possible objection to sending
some hundred dollars to the destitute rife Of
the Kansas hero, Jim Lane. That lady was
deserted by him in the Territory. She was
left without money or means of support. She
was obliged to make her way home alone. She
is now divorced from him, as Indiana records
shoW, for abandonment and other legal causes,
and is without funds.

Mr.. Buchnnan,s Acceptance.

The reader will find in another column the
letter Of Mr.. Buchanan accepting the nomina-
ton Of the Democratic Convention for the
Presidency.
In presenting this letter to our readers we
deem 1t due alike to Mr.. Buchanan and to our.
selves to say that its perusal has afforded us
much satisfaction. We remember nothing
from Mr. Buchanan's pen which has seemed
to us conceived in terms more appropriate to
the occasion or more worthy Of the rank he oc-
cupies among our living statesmen. 1t was of
course to be expected that, in formally accept
ing the nomination made at Cincinnati, be
should also formally endorse the "platform y
erected so hastily and, as we think, unwisely,
BY the political architects Of the Democratic
party in Convention assembled. As TO the
wisdom Of certain doctrines attempted to be
engrafted upon the "policy Of the country as
defined by the Cincinnati Convention, our
readers are already sufficiently advised OF our
opinions; and, as we shall probably have oc-
casion to refer TO them hereafter more speci-
6cally and thoroughly, il forms no part Of our
present purpose to make them the subject Of
particular remark
We may say, however, that Mr.. Buchanan's
official letter of acceptance, while not ex-
pressly repudatingthe extreme and exception.
able doctrines foisted into the Democratic con
fession Of faith by the Cincinnati Convention.
does yet by its spirit and tenor, incline us To
hope that he means if elected, so 10 construe
those doctrines as TO disarm them Of their
mischievous significance and evil tendency.
Indeed we can give no other meaning than
Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-06-28

sny 1t is our purpose to enter at once upon
the publication in the Sentinel of valuable doc
uments for the campaign, comprising reports,
speeches, &c, &C., which we will furnish to
committees, clubs, and other associations for
distribution, on the most reasonable terms.
This will make the Sentinel most valuable
companion to our Democratic Electors and
orators throughout the country.

until it becomes smooth paste, mix this while
warm with fourteen pounds of the best -four,

allow the dough to work a certain time near
the fire, after which divide it into loaves. The
-four should be busted in and most vigorously
kneaded. This quantity of -four and rice

Judge Bayly.

Our many readers will learn with sorrow
that the disease under which he has so long
been suffering, has at length carried from earth
the Hon. Thomas III. Bayly, of the Accomac
Congressional district of Virginia, information
of whose demise, at his late residence in Acco.
mac county, Virginia, reached us this morning.
Comparatively young, he has thus been cut off
in the beginning of his career of great public
usefulness. Had he lived and been blessed
with good health, he could not have failed to
have become one of the most distinguished
statesmen of the age; for his mind was power,
full and clear, his attachments in public affairs
vast, his character energetic, and his ambition
entirely legitimate. He leaves wife and a
daughter just grown. His estate was large and
carefully husbanded His death leaves void
in thousands Of hearts, for he was as widely
beloved as he was known Washington Star.
