On Saturday, the llth of April, the day
that Beauregard was pointing the guns OF
the batteries at Charleston to begin the
attack next morning before daylight on
Fort Sumter and Anderson's little band,
the Sentinel contained the following:
But now when Sectional party of fanat
+ les from the stronger half of the Union has
got possession of The National Government,
upon past history of outrage aud aggres-
sion upon the weaker section, strewed all
along with threats of crushing out the great
interests and overturning the local iustitu-
tions of that section by force, whenever
they did get the power, has commenced its
sectional civil war to force its power over
this weaker and comparatively helpless
section, when, in short, republicanism seeks
to force its odious, unconstitutional, and un-
just dogmas upon injured, unwilling
people, converting this Government, as it
is doing, into a military despotism, then,
the patriotic Re e.Jublica1s, who could
not fight Great Britain, who could not fight
q Mexico, are eager To draw the sword, TO
bathe IL in fraternal blood. 1t is the Ame-
Ireland of the United States"
This is said just few hours before 1000
; men, with dozen batteries began an attack
on the flag of the United States, defended
by loo men,. Keep these facts together.
On the day the news came of the attack
on Sumter, and while every ear was ting
ling with the shameful fact that the flag of
the nation had, for the first time, been at
tackled on its own soil by those who owed
it respect and allegiance, the Sentinel pub
lished the following:
sEwARD's AND LINooLN's ABOLITION WAR.
The telegraphic dispatches announcing
that civil war commenced in Charleston
harbor, on yesterday morning, will cause
intense excitement all over the country
q Civil strife has commenced. The abolition
and disuuion administration have attempt-
ed the coercion of the Confederate States
Such are the first fruits of Republicanism

0Egurating ciUiI sOar by charging the o. rt act
upon the Montgomery government If war
was not intended why was military and
naval expedition fitted out, with the men
and appliances to reinforce at all hazards
This was not peaceable mission. 1t was
an expedition intended to convince the peo-
pie of the Southern States in Republican
language, that we have a Government"
1t was known that the demonstration would
be regarded as an act of war, and the men
of the South would haUe been regarded as
mere brGggarts if they had not resisted unto
death. Their honor was at stake If they
had yielded without resistance they would
have stood disgraced before the world.

1t must not be forgotten that the Confed-
crate Stats haze made no hostile demonstra-
ton upon the North.
Now on the 9Th of January, 1862, these
views were endorsed by a convention of the
Democracy" in the following resolu-
ton: .sL .s-.l--
n. A. o. Packard, of Marshall, offered
the following, which was unanimously
adopted: :4-.--FoW ~rfseeas

course and conduct of the Indiana State Sen

But we are not left to the Sentinel alone
to find out the spirit and purpose of those
who are leading this " Democratic I" move

JEFF Davis's government, laugh at the efforts
to resist it, and denounce those who do re.
sist as the authors of the war, is the sum of
its three months of argument, ridicule and
exhortation. Let US see how it is borne up
and supported by other exponents of the
party faith. s.......... .-
On the lst of January, 1861, a meeting
OF the so-called Democracy" of Perry
county was held in Canneltou, at which the
following resolution was adopted, as re-
ported 10 the Sentinel of January 9Th, 1851
ResotUed, That ifno concessions aud COM
promises can be obtained, and disunion
shall unfortunately be made between the
Northern and Southern States, then the
commercial, manufacturing, and agricultu-
al interests of the people of this country
require US to say that we cannot consent
that the Ohio river shall be the boundary
liue of coEtending nations, and we earn
estly desire that if line is TO be drawn be-
tween the North and the South, that line
shall run north of as.
