The Hooking Sentinel.

Brother BlOor, of the "Sentinel"-tht
Democratic paper of Hooking County, is
pouring hot-shot into the Lecomptonites
who have taken possession of the Demo
cratic organization. In his paper of the
9th inst, in speaking of the nominatin
for County officers in Hooking County, he
says:
Nominate Democrats, good and true
Men who hate Lecompton aud the tyranny
of the Administration, and You will elect

dent can result to the injury of no one; his

can YOU, Democrats who stood by your
country with Madison, abandon
your own organization, your principles,
trail your flag in the dust, and be defeated
,rampled on, by an organization that is one
thing to-day, another tomorrow, and was

So much for County affairs. In speak
ing of the Administration and the Wash
iEgton "Union," in another column, lie
says:

business. 1t is said that some members
of the cabinet are engaged in that trade.
The temerity of those who are traitors sail
ing under Democratic colors, is only
equalled by their stupidity, ignorance and
folly. Their ruffianism and falsehood will
not he without effect. These aew issues
they are getting up may have the sane
ton of the President. If SO, considering
the present condition of the Democratic
party, the future is gloomy enough. The
clouds o f doom thicken over these new
issues sought to be thrust upon US.
The skies are charged with fires. These
madcaps will soon realize the depths of
folly 10 which they have sunk themselves"
In still another article in the Same paper,
speaking of the contest for Congressman
in this District, in which he declines to
support the nominee, Mr. Martin, and re-
fefs to the fact that even the Richmond
Enquirer" rebukes the CoIulpbus plat
form, he says:
"lIence their (The 'Inquirer's') syrne

save Illinois, in spite of the insus,e malice

Of tie Washimgton 'Uniom.' The Pres
ident has, in his conduct toward Mr..
Douglas and his friends, and in' his
course on the Lecompton bill, been war
ing against the Democracy. Now it is
perfectly clear that as the policy of the
President in this matter has been against
the policy and principles of the Demo
cratic party, it therefore follows, irresisti
bly,, TIT any candidate who "fully ap-
proves of the policy of the President"
cannot be a Deniocrat-he is nOthiEI bit
a LecoD,pt0nite. We would as willingly
vote for Candle box Calhoun as any of his
niders, a6ettors or approvers. Kotwith-
standing they may call themselves Demo
Gratis and may have heretofore acted with
the Democracy, yet when they put on Le-
compton, with all its attendant crimes,
