MISSION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

The reorganization of the Democratic
Party in the Northern States, has render
ed il necessary for the Republican Party
to establish the landmarks of its policy,
and to proclaim its principles, The re-or-
ganized Democracy, Judging from the
characteriand avowed opinions of the
men who are leading in the movement,
will hug to its bosom the doctrines which
prevailed during Buchanan's adminstra-
ton, and the principles of that odious dy-
nasty will be the corner stone of future
"Democratic" faith. However much we
mayi regret that there are men in the
North who still entertain such views, we
rejoice that since there are such men,
they are organizing themselves into
party, because we prefer an open enemy
to an insidious and lurking foe.
Of course, with such party the Re-
publicans have nothing of principle, or of
sentiment in common--and hence it be-
comes necessary that they should lift their
banner aloft, and proclaim to the world
the great principles upon which they pro-
pose to stand or fall.
For ourselves, we confess that we lean
10 that policy which has been indicated in
the recent speeches of Senator Fessenden,
Of Maine, and Senator Sherman, of Ohio.
The latter gentleman was the candidate of
the Republican Party for Speaker, in an
ever-memorable contest--a descendant of
ROGER SHERMAN of Connecticut--a man
Of pure and elevated morality-of sound
craftsmanship, and true type of that ex-
alted manhood that is natural outgrowth
Of free institutions. In recent speech
IN the Senate--a speech which is charac-
terized by remarkable strength and SIM
plicity of diction, as well as by burning
and lofty patriotism--after showing that
hitherto the Republican Party has had
nothing but a purely defensive policy
he proceeds to show that the exigencies of
the times demand, that now it should
inscribe upon its banners its principles,
and proclaim to the people its future
policy.
In order that our readers may know
what that proposed policy is, we make
tAc following excerpts from the speech of
Senator Sherman-every word of which
we cordially endorse-and 50 far as We
may possess influence, shall make these
principles the rallying notes in the COM
ing political campaign in this State-to
be modified, fcourse, should that become
necessary, by swift occurring events of this
unns.ural rebellion -

SOUTHERN PREACHERS Parson Brown
low is not very complimentary to Southern
gentleman of "the cloth" In late speech
at Cincinnati he said
"The worst men in the Southern confeder-
acy ara Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and
Episcopalian preachers. They drink and
swear week days, and preach Sundays.
When they became secesh, they lid farewe ell
to honesty, truth and decency. The confed-
eracy originated in lying, stealing and per-
jury. Floyd did the stealing, the common
masses the lying, and fourteen Senators from
the cotton States the perjury--the latter class
while still retaining their seats in the United
States Senate, and making pretense of OBJ.
serving their oaths, but at night, till twelve
O'Clock, holding secret meetings, sendings
dispatches to Their respective States to pass
ordinances OF session, to seize forts, &C.,
&c.
Among other instances illustrating the spirit
prevailing among the Southern clergy, Mr..
Brownlow said that the paster of the First
Presbyterian Church in Knoxville called
union prayer meeting to pray that BurnsiIe's
feet might sink and the blockade be raised
The same minister had said thar he would
rather use bible printed and bound in hell
than one from tbeNorth. Also that Jesus
Christ was born on Southern soil, and that
all his apostles were Southern men, except
Judas lscariot, who was a Northern man.
This was said openly, from his pulpit on
Sunday"

the New York Herald says:
have very important fact in regard
to the surrender of Fort DonelSon. On
friday, Feb. l4th,. Gen Johnston, who
was then preparing to evacuate Bowling
Green, sent telegraph dispatch to Gen.
Pillow, asking him if he needed any more
troops-if he did, he would send him all
he wanted mediately. Johnston could
have done this, as there was direct
railroad between them with plenty of cars.
But Pillow never got the dispatch. At
the end OF the telegraph line nearest to
Fort Donelson was an operator who wa

dare 10 express his sentiments.
He kept the dispatch, therefore, in

that he had no need of reinforcements,
