believed that there are American free
men dastardly enough to raise a cry
like that? There is not day we do
not hear it. 1t is bawled at every point

ry necessity. In effect, we are told
that the twenty millions of the North
are no match for the six millions of the
South; that we are doomed to defeat,
unless we get the help of the black
man. They do not like to have it put
just in that style, but it amounts to ex-
actly that. Short Of that their "milita-
ry necessity" would be misnomer,
and their claim to abolitionize under
the war power, the baldest pretext.--
We say that viler insult was never
dealt upon the Northern name. The

For the Sentinel.


Mr.. EDIToR:--The suggestion Of "tab" in
your paper OF Dec. 18th, 1861, is worthy o.
consideration. There is no douot that teach
ers of common schools could afford each 9TH
er great assistance By the discussion Of edu.
cational topics through the medium Of the
ne wspaper. As teachers are or ought TO be
capable of expressing their thoughts on pa.
per, it is matter OF establishment that as a
class they write so little for the press.
Every teacher meets with more or less diff.
ficulty in pursuing bis chosen VOCATION
Questions may occur in grammar, arithmetic
geography, physiology, &c, which he does
not feel altogether capable Of explaining sat
isfactorily to his class. In all such cases
would it not be an advantage to have the
views Of other teachers upon the points o
dificulty7 I think this question will receive
an affirmative answer from all practical teach
ers.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as you have been kind
enough to permit the discussion OF subjects
of scientific character in your paper,
would earnestly request all who feel an in
terest in the matter to take an active part in
the same. Let those teachers who desire in
formation on any subject connected with
their profession, state upon what point they
wish light, and then let some one who is
competent give the information at once
Much valuable knowledge may be gained in
this way. II scientific department sh ,uld

would throw an additional charm around

The Revival of the Democratic
Party.

The home organ of the late Senate
Douglas, the Chicago Times, which sup
ported the so-called "Union" movemen
during thepa campaign, says:-'"Th'
Democratic State committee Of Rhode
Island have just held a meeting and re
solved to put again into working order
the old Democratic party, as being 'tht
surest and speediest way of dealing po
litical death to those chiefest and most
powerful enemies of the Union and the
Constitution--the Abolitionists. That
being the sentiment of the Democracy
Of Rhode Island it perfectly harmoni'
zes with the Democratic sentiment of
the Northwest, and we doubt not of the
whole country.
SIN the Northwest the sentiment is
wonderfully strong, and it is purely a
popular sentiment as distinguished from
a movement of politicians. 1t lacks de-
velopment, because the opportunities of
development have not occurred, though
some indications Of it were disclosed in
the recent State elections. We, as
journalists, see and feel more of it than
appears upon the surface to the casual
observer, and this through our business
correspondence. Letters come to us
daily from the seven Northwestern
States, and numerous Of the writer's ad-
vert to the condition of the country and
assert their belief that there is but one
way out Of the difficulties which threat
en- the national existence, and that is
through the Democratic party, In ey-
cry instance where the Times has sug-
gestedtho necessity Of a revival Of the
Democratic party as essential to the
national salvation, q responsive chord
in the popular heart has seemed to be
touched, for the return mails have
brought US a food of letters telling us
how certainly we have given expression
to the feeling of the Democratic mas
ses.
sNoW the Democratic masses are al
ways instinctively right. They have
never been wrong in tho political his
tory Of this government. They have
foreseen from the beginning, as clearly
as the profoundest statesman, the drift
of Abolitionism and the catastrophe Of
its triumph. In no wise responsible
for this war-foreyer protesting against
and resisting ihe causes which have
produced it-they constitute to-day
three-quarters Of the army which is car
rying it on. Had they, when the war
began, stood back and left it to the
Abolitionists, who made the war, to
carry it on, Washington would long
ago, have been the Confederate capital,
and the chief Northern cities would lie
at the mercy of the Confederate armies.
The men, the party, who have made
the war, can never end it except in hu>
initiation of the North and final disrup-
tion Of the Union. 1t is this grand fact,
distinctly realized by the Democratic
masses, that is moving them to reyi-
valof the Democratic party preparato-
ry to the elections of the coming
year"
