In the Sentinel of last week our
readers found the very able reply
of the late Presipent to the memoran-
da of Gen. Scott, relative to events in
the last days Of his Administration :
This is the Erst word uttered by him
since his retirement, and is complete
and triumphant vindication of his
course. 80 a.'.
..t In looking back upon the Admins
d tration Of President Buchanan, we dis
cover one error, which towers above
all others; and that is, his neglect to
ENFORCE THE LAWS IN TIE FREE
STATES. Had he promptly called for
VOLUNTEERS instead of Regulars and
put down at once, and with strong
hand, the resistance to the laws in
Kansas Territory, and in the Free
States, he would have prevented the
dire disaster which now threatens the
destruction of our country.1
.rs When the Wellington negro rescue
eases were on trial, the Abolitionists
were rampant in their rebellion against
the Constitution and Laws of their
country, and ought to have been Sc
verely dealt with. Governor Chase
had arranged everything for a conflict
with the United States Government, in
case these prisoners had not been dis
charged by the State Courts. Hehad
taken away all the muskets and cannon
from Democratic Brigades, and placed
them at the disposal of Abolition Gen
erals, and had selected the kind of
troops he would call out, in case the
u. S. Government should reoarlest
those vile Abolition rebels. Yet Bu-
chanan sat calmly by, and made little
effort to enforce the laws. So in the
case of the writ sent out by the Gen
eral Government, for the arrest of the
John Brown traitors in Ashtabtla
county. These writs were never SER
we'd for the want of U. s. troops to aid
the Marshal, and these the President

Nhe NEOrAYS Of fsle AriasY.

We ask attention to the following extyact
from letter written by Col. Poorman OF
the 98h Ohio, and published in his paper
theBelmont Chronicle-o last week, portray
ing the wretched moral condition OF the army
with which he is connected. II his state
ments be true the Army must be in de.
plorable condition. This decentralization
that he describes must be the result Of gross
negligence, or something worse than gross
negligence, on the part Of the officers OF the
Army. No better material for an Army
was ever collcc ted together than that com
posing the Army OF which be sp,aks. And
If in the short space Of time that they have
been in the service, the morals OF those
young men, he have been raised and edu
Gated according to the strictest morals, have
been 50 debased, there must be guilt some
where. And what else can it be but with
the officers? Are thee young men TO be
returned to their parents and community,
thieves, robbers, and plunderers? 1flso, it
is high time that parents and community
were looking to it. We hope that Colonel
Poorman has overdrawn the picture. 1.H I
Col. Poorman says! .... r...
at is astonishing how soon men forget all
the moral lessons o! their youth, and leave
behind them the poactce of of honesty,
when they are separated from home and in

That the Union men of the South
will take heart at the recent conserva-
tive triumphs at the North is already
evident. They perceive in these. re-
suits that we are not all given to AbO-

servile insurrection; and should Con-
grcss, at its next session, Immediately
withdraw its acts of emancipation and
cOnfscation, and manifest a hearty i'm,
patience for the restoration of the

RN~ The late elections will have a
beneficial effect on the officers in our

to Abolitionism, they thought the cur
rent was going in that direction, and
that by starting upon it in time, with
their military eclat, they could come
home and get a civil Office. Now their
eyes are opened and they see that no-
thing can be done on the Black side
