Western sentinel. [volume] (Winston [i.e. Winston-Salem], N.C.) 1856-1886, 1861-04-19

Come. let Us hunt these ugly badgers down,
These sinking foxes, these devouring otters,
These hares, these wolves, these anything but
Guve them no law Care they not beasts of blood y
But such they gave Us. Tally ho ho!
Throlgh forest. furze, and bog and den and des
ert,
Pursue the ugly beasts.
Language cannot describe the disgust
ing peculiarities of the famished pack Of
wolves, iackals, foxes and hyenas, now
howling and raveniug after the crnmbs.and
scraps from the table of the Abolition
Kangaroo of the White House.
Whether You take the greasy, hirsnte
half-savage Western barbarian, the si>ulk-
ing, mousng, ehievish New Highlander, or
the New York ''dead rabbit, as the best
representative Of the herd, it is con ceded
by men Of all parties to be the yilest and
most unscrupulous that ever made Wash
ington llideous. The BARRIERS refuse to
toHch many of them with their razors, the
very hack drivers will not condcscend to
solicit their patronage, and the hotel
keepers require them to pay in advance,
and then grudgingly give them lodging.
\ ct this horrid God-torsaken throng of
unclean spirits, mixed up with 'Wide
AWakes," Abolitionists and Black Repub-
licans, there are, We learn, not only a few
Firginian Subnissionists clamouring for
Office. And as zone renegade is worse
than ten Turks so the honest, most obse-
quious toadies, and abiect fankies now.
crawling in the dust, and eating dirt be-
fore the Abolition President are the Vir-
ginia Submissionists. In hexibility Of
backbone, in reptile adoption for creeping
and crawling this species of verlnin is said
to astonish their Abolition rival. To get
Office they would forswear their State
fifty times before sscock crow"
They are objects Of the most nnbounded
contempt to the Black Republicans, and
Lincoln and his Cabinet scornfHlly recog-
nize their services with such broken vic
tuals as no decent ssWide Awake" would
deign to accept.
The low estimate in which these degrad-
ed Virginians are held at Washington, is
made apparent by the fact that no offices
of honor ana position have been assigned
them. Itnerant lager beer orators, ,merce-
nary letler-writers, even third class Abo-
lltion newspapers, get foreign missions,
but the. Virginian Submissionists who are
reaping torrent of 1ntamy by begging
Lincoln for Office, have to put up with the
meanest, lowest and poorest appointments.
They are not deemed good enough for
Indian Agencies and Consulships on the
coast Of Africa and in the Feiee Is
lands.
The Office made vacant by the death of
Justice Daniel, is a good one, and Lincoln
aolds that out of the reach of some dozen
snbmissionists, like Summers and Stuart,
all Of whom with keen eyes and watering
chops are waiting for the prize. He will
terminate the response of the unfortunates
in question by chucking the jndgeship
to some unadulterated Black Republi-
ean.
The appointments of Lincoln will, as a
natTer OF course, be so many insults to the
border slave States. The material from
which Ihe will have TO select will forbid
the possibility of decent appointments.
We cannot conceive of men Of character,
respectability and position seeking APP
pointments from the hands of an Abolition
Administration. There are of course, mer
in the slave States who would take Office
from The ceInmander.in-cheifo of thelegions
