appreciation and support OF the Sentinel, Mr..
Giddings we'll known organ. Another reason
is that Mr.. Giddings' age and bodily in6rmities
point to the propriety Of sending younger man
to represent the district. More grave than the
consideration Of bodily infrmities, is the ques-
ton which has, with more or less force, been
raised, whether bis mind possesses the vgor
and elasticity of its earlier days.
Though Mr. G. has many strong friends, he
also has many equally strong opponents, and
his election, if possible, would embarrass the
party, result which his long, liberal enjoyment
of its favors neither Mr.. G. or his friends would
be warranted in doing. Besides these reasons,
there is the general one of policy, while acting
as parties, to distribute the favors and houors
Of the party judiciously among its faithful and
reliable friends. We have no apprehension
from all that we can gather, that this ill-advised
measure can succeed, but notwithstanding re

These in brief, ere the views which lead d

"CAPIroL SHOULD OwN LABOR" says the
Douglas candidate for Vice President, aud here
is the language 10 which this patriotic sentiment
is clothed, which we trust, the honest, hard
working mechanic--the laboring man, who in
the dignity Of his soul, and in accordance with
the instructions and the example OF the Son of
God, shrinks not from physical employment
will not fail TO lay to heart He who has a
family whose comfort, responsibility, and men,
tai improvement depend upon bis daily labor,
will ask himself the question, whether that Ia
Dor should belong TO the capital of the country,
and whether 10 bis case it should be dictated
by one who may be his superior iu the length
OF his purse, but who in all the qualities of vir-
tue, intelligence, and moral and intellectual cul-
ture is bis inferior. If such is the opinion of
any OF the honest yeomanry, the "small-6sted
farmers" as they have been contemptuously
called, or the mechanics, greasy mechanics, as
they are denominated of Ashtabula. why, of
course. such will cast their votes for Mr.. DouG-
las, who don't care whether slavery goes up or
down, and Mr.. JOHNSON, The author of the fol-
lowing sentiment once uttered 10 a speech in
Philadelphia, when he had any motive TO with

We believe capital should Orn labor !;

SYRIA.-Tbe work Of extermiuating the
Christians in Syria continues, not rapidly, but
with cool and deliberate ferocity proving that
it is no sudden outbreak of passion. The Dru

slaughters are 10 fulfIlment of deliberate plan
to exterminate toe christians Of Turkey. The
Turkish government is as yet powerless to ar
rest the work of death. Its civil officers and
soldiers either witness without interference the
massacre Of the christians or actively assist 10
it. The car assures the western powers low
deeply be deplores this great calamity that he
will use every effort to prevent further outragos,
but the western governments have no right to

dent that nothing but foreign Intervention can
restore order in Turkey and afford any guaruD-
ty Tor the adequate probation Of the christians
there. The Crimean war seems to have been a
lost effort. The eastern question is in worse
position than before that terrible waste of blood
and treasure, and Englishmen are beginning to
enquire whether the Crmeau campaign was not
gigantic mistake in its idea as it was in much
OF its execution. 1t is evident that there must
be new arrangement in regard TO Turkey, nor
can Russia be excluded from an influential voice
in that settlement.
