The probability is that General
Price, who is advancing northward,

his forces with those of Bragg, and
that they will attempt to defeat oul
armies in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Mississippi, in different engage.

the Legroes, and it is highly prob

not? The thing has never beer

We notice by our exchanges that one DAVE
GooDING, DAVID s. GooDING, we believe is his
cognomen, is making speeches wherever he can
get any one mean enough to listen to him, the
principle staple of which is denuncations of the
Sentinel ard laudations of JOE WRIGHT In
1857 this GooDING was a member of the Indiana
Legislature. At that time he was violent OPP
poser of JESSE BRIeHr professedly. and he claim
ed to be the fast friend of JOE WRIGHT Before
the Senatorial election of that year came off, this
man GooDING voluntarily and aloue went into the
private room of JEssE BRIGHT, at the Palmer
House, and then and there gave in his adhesion
to BRIGHT and pledged himself to vote for him
for Senator. What the consideration was we know
not but this we know he deserted his idol WRIGHT,
and voted for his enemy BRIGHT. What he
did then he may do again. This is one of
the so-caled Democrats on the roll of honor"
published by the Journal, whom it states have
sacrificed party for country. Ii enumerales some
upon its roll of honor who will never vote for a
Republican ticket under whatever guse il may

The Montgomery Constitution.

The Journal in its apology for the Presidents
emancipation proclamation, which appeared in
that print of Saturday last, justifes that act of
Mr.. LINCOLN. because nobody lever heard the
Sentinel denounce the Montgomery Constitu-
ton" This is certainly singular reason for APP
proving the proclamation. We can not see what
bearing our opinion, or the opinion of anybody
as to the character of that instrument, can have
upon the merits of the new emancipation policy
of the President. The Montgomery Coustitu-
ton may be perfect chart OF government, or
it may be very defective, but in either one case
or the other we can not imagine in what way
either opinion involves affects the constitution
atty or policy of Mr.. LINCOLN abolition scheme.
If denuncatons of the Montgomery CGnstitu-
ton is evidence OF loyalty. is not the fidelity of
the Journal more than questionable? Whoever
heard the Journal denounce the Montgomery
Constitution? Nobody" Hence it must be
disloyal sheet, according to its own standard of
judgment. But the Journal, on the contrary,
expressly and with great earnestDess pronounced
the Montgomery Constitution "an. improvement
upon ours" In evidence thereof we extract the
following from that print, dated March %, 1861.
says the Journal:
We have read it 1.-THE Constitution of the slave
ConitGeracy) carefully, and must confess that,
except its special provisions in regard slavery,
il is about as good charter OF government as
could have been devised. Probably this excel
lence is due to the fact that in all important
spects it is copy of the one the Confederacy has
just repudialed, though improved in few points
which experience has shown to be imperfect in
ours"
After enumerating number OF those amen d
ments the Journal adds:
In all these particulars the Southern Constitu-
ton Is an improvement on ours
Is not that decidedly strong endorsement of
the rebel Constitution? The Journal says the
Southern Constitution is a better chart of gov
eminent than the old Constitution of Washington.
If the Sentinel siIned in not denouncing the Mont
gomery Constitution, how infamous or criminal
must the Journal be for pronouncing it an i'm
provement on ours-in fact as being cas- good
charter of government as could be devised"

what Constitutes a state.

The following poem was written by Sir Will
LIAM JoSEs, native OF London, in 1881. He
was one of the most accomplished and remark
able men of his age, ant would have distinguished
any era. As statesman, jurist, philosopher and
poet, he was justly celebrated, and his taste for
bellies lettres gave enthusiasm to all his literary
pursuits His prose was far more elegant than
any specimens of the Addisonian school, and
everything from his pen gave evidence of the
most profound research. He was at once an
earnest advocate of reforms, and stickler for
law and order He stood up boldly for the rights
of the people, and at time lost caste with the
British Government Tor his defense of the Amer
lean. The sentiment of the annexed ode was
taken from fragment attributed to Alc@us,
which prefaced the poem when first published:

The Washington National Republican of Sep
temper % says:
The Colonel Ford who surrendered Maryland
flights is said to be the same demagogue who
was elected printer of the last House, principally
by the exertiOns of some members with whom
he agreed to divide the profits. and nearly the
whole of whom he cheated at last in which he
served them about right
This is the same Col FoRD who broke up the
Fillmore convention in 1856 on account of his
love for the negro His surrender of the flights
probably rendered the surrender of Miles an
unavoidable necessity. 1t is for the proper au-
liberties to determine Whett er that perniciOus
surrender was not attributable to the cowardice
of this blatant Ohio abolitiOnist, rather than to
any fault of Colonel (or General) MILES.

Now and rhen.

The New York State Republican Convention
nominated LYMAN TREMAIN its candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. In 1861 Mr. FIREMAN.
professed to be Democrat, and in a speech be-
fore the Democratic Convention held in February
of that year went far beyond the line laid down
by that body. We reproduce few of the senti
ments he expressed at that time, in speech be-
fore the Convention, to show the character of the
man whom the Republicans of New York have
placed in the second position upon their State
ticket. Opposing a conflict between the North
and South, Mr. I. said:
| wish to say that, traitorous though it may be.
| stand here to oppose the policy of war with the
South, now, hereafter, and forever.
Again he remarked:
l am prepared to take the responsibility of saw
ing | am resolved to resist it (the war; here and
to resist it everywhere. And if that be treason.
make the most of it.
Yet the man who expressed these ultra senti-
ments in 1861, in about year afterwards forms
an alliance with, and is made a candidate for,
high position by the Republican party. At the
same time Mr.. TREMAIN uttering these senti
ments, the New York Tribune, representing the
NAUTICAL hepuollcdIlS, put lOItu tue lOiiOhluS ue-
clarations. which conceded with the views ex-
pressed by the now Republican candidate for
Lieutenant Governor of New York:
From the Tribune of February %, 1851
We have repeatedly said, and we once more in
sist that the great principle embodied by Jefferson
in Declaration of American Independence, that
Governments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, is sound and just. and
RI 81 fba thu
Gulf States only choose to form an independent
nation, they have clear moral right to do so.
Whenever it shall be clear that the
great body of the Southern people have become
conclusvely alienated from the Union, and anx-
ious to escape from it, we will do best to for
ward their views.
birds of feather will flock together" The
Tribune now uckles Mr.. TREMAIN upon the back,
and in return for the compliment Mr. TREMAIS
tickles the Tribune upon the stomach. Such is
Republicanism? Consistent is it notl
