Governor MoRroS in his last war speech de-
iivered at Masonic Hall in this city, referring to
The Sentinel. expressed the following sentiments:
HE had been called upon heretofore TO save
that newspaper from destruction. lie did it not
because Of any respect Tor the editor or proprie-
tor. but because he desired that the laws should
be obeyed he would not say that he would do
the same thing again"
Mark the admission of His Excellency. He
boasts that he had saved this office from destruc-
ton. which he had done. not because he had any
respect for its editor or proprietors. but
foe his anxiety that the laws should
be obeyed These words are worthy of re-
membrance The Governor comedies that
the destruction of the Sentinel Office would be
violation Of lsw-wOud be an outrage that
would not be sanctioned BY any law-abdng citi
zen. Notwithstanding these admissions by the
Governor he went on 10 say in substance. that
he had protected the Office heretofore. but he
"vould not say he would do the same thing
again" Admitting that any act of violence
against the Office was not only in violation OF law
but that il was his boundeu duty TO prevent anv
such outrage. yet he invites the destruction Of a
Democratic paper for opinions sake. The Senti
mel does not agree with the political views OF His
Excellency therefore, as he states it, the property
Of citizen is not entitled 10 the protection %
law The Governor saws he ha- done his duty
In that regard; he has desired that the laws shall
be obeyed. but he does no, know that he would
do the same thing again.
What il TO be inferred from this declaration
OF His Excelency? Is it that the citizen is to
take the protection or life and property into his
own handsl Is brute force to govern. and the
laws NO longer 10 be obeyed or respectedl
We have done our duty citizens In that
regard our conscience is void OF oifeuse. We
believe that The policy of the party in power, if
successful. will destroy free institutions and pop
ular rights. So believing. is It not duty to com
bat aRainat IL?
Obedience to law is the duty OF every citizen
To that obligation there should DE no exception.
But il the administrators of the law. from either
personal or party prejudices. fail to fulfill their off
cial obligations. and to give protection to person
and property which the laws guarantee, then il
becomes the duty Of citizens TO protect them
selves and hold the public officer personally re
sponsible forhis official d.lihquencies.

ID. w. voorhees, ON tho Union.

The administration organs persistently
misrepresent the position of all Democrats,
but they have taken particular pains to
falsify the record Of Hon. ID. w. Voorhees,,
of Indiana, representing him as not loyal,
Union-loving man. The following extract
from the closing passage of long and elo-
quent speech made by him few days ago,
as we find it in the Globe, more truly repre-
sents him: f ,itl.
But why need / dwell upon these evi-
dences of disunion? The great leader of
the administration on this floor, the gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevcns), has
deliberately here announced, after all our
sacrifices, sorrows and loss, that the Union
of our fathers is dead, and that he who at
tempts its resurrection is criminal instead
of a patriot. He goes further, and admits
all the seeded States have ever claimed
their nationality. They have sought in vain
III all the four quarters, of the earth for
recognition. They find it at last Mt the
hands of those who speak for the Adminis-
tration on this floor. hitn3 m oh
Sir, deny this doctrine. plant myself
on the Constitution which recognizes an
unbroken Union. | shall stand there in
every vicissitude of fortune, and if fall it
will be when the people themselves aban-
don their own Constitution. BY the prin-
ciples of this mighty instrument, expect
finally restoration of the Union of these
States. Every hour which the party in power
prOlongs its control of affairs postpones the
auspicious day, but as behold the future
1t will assuredly come. Material and in
,destruetible interests unite every section
except that which prospers on 'hnaticism
And here to-day, in the spirit of one who
expects and desires his posterity and
theirs to live together in the ancient and
honorable friendship of their fathers
warn the southern people not tolook for
ward to separation and independence, but
to embrace every opportunity for co-opera-
tion with the conservative men of the North,
who will aid with their lives if need be, to
secure them all theirrights and institutions
as free and equal citizens of the United
States. If this be done the approaching
presidential election Will bring peace, Union
and liberty. But if the peaceful popular
revolution of the ballot-box fails to procure
these results, then darkness willsettle upon
the face of the deep and the free institu-
tions of America will exist only on the page
of the future historian. Four years more
of our present policy will leave the repub-
lie an unshapen mass of ruins, wreck
more melancholy and hopeless than any
that strew the pathway of ages. And here
In this fair young western world, as in all
fefner times, a despotism will arise from
the shattered fragments of self-government,
to which each succeeding generation shall
pay the extorted tribute of its blood and
toll. --,.,-.

|, The New York Herald, of Tuesday, says:

Fldftda like that Of Ol,sstee, had there not been
an 0teraceeniag desire at Wdshiagtoa to hn7yup
the political organization Of The State in season
TO secure her three Uotes for the Baltimore June
Convention. 1t is apparent that If Smith and
Grierson had been supported by few thous-
and men as mounted infantry they could
have effected ajunction with Gen. Sherman,
which would have enabled him to push for
ward to Selma, In the heart of Alabama,
and thence down the river and its line of
bountiful supplies to Mobile. Those few
thousands of additional men could have been
furnished from Arkansas had they not
been assigned to the political business
of reorganizing that State according to
the emancipation formula of President
Lincoln. Yet again. Had not Gen. Banks
been engaged in the same political tinker
ing in Louisiana he might, with. powerful
cooperating land force, have opened the
way with Admiral Farragut into Mobile.

Army News.

1t isnow understood that the projected
expeditions of General Burnside to South
Carolina, and General Hancock to North
Carolina, were planned by the President
and General Halleck before General Grant
attained his high military estate. The pres
ent commander of the armies of the United
Statesis opposed to any such ..scatteration"
policy, and, it is understood, will direct the
preparations for those expeditions to cease.
