CARD.
From the National Intelligencer. ]

Having concluded TO discontinue the Wash
ingtOn Sentinel, I avail myself of the kind
ness of my friends of the National Intelligen-
Ger to make that determination public through
its columns.
Some weeks since similar determination
was abandoned because the continuance of
the Sentinel was deemed advisable, in view
Of fierce efforts of the g Republican party to
force upon the American people a President
and Vice President whose pledged purposes
would violate the Constitution by additional
assaults upon the rights, honor and equality
of one half of the States Of the Confectionery.
Subsequent events, however, plainly indicate
that the fancied power and strength of that
dangerous party are fast waning, and that the
triumph of the Democratic ticket in the pres
emit contest is not now even problematica
The gratifying indications that the South will
be unit in November next, and the positive
assurances Of our friends that the larger por-
ton of the North and Northwest will be ranged
on the side of the Democracy, render the con.
tinuance of the Sentinel no longer essential to
the campaign.
1 may be permitted to say, in conclusion,
that carry into my retirement convictions,
greatly strengthened by the experience an
editorial life has conferred, that the principles
of the State Rights Democratic party are
the only principles upon which the perpetuity
OF our Union can rest with honor and safety.
For the maintenance of these principles the
Sentinel was established departure from
them has never been charged by its worst enc
mics.
With sincere gratitude for the kindness of
Its friends and patrons, and a hearty congr atu.
lation for the bright victory that awaits all
who love their country, am most truly their
friend, BEVERLY TUCKER
