II The Sentinel makes d lame attempt TO sex-
cuse itself for its declaration that Gey. Worth
would regard the support of the Stasadardaa as
a dire calamity. We stated, in good faith,
! that if Gov. Worth would do pubsicty what
The is constantly saying privately, that he is
!; IN Union man, and would disconnect himself
!, from the pernicious influences by which he
was elected, and take ground squarely and
!. finally with the Union party of the State, we
would give him our humble support. What
more could we have offered Coming from
as, this offer was certainly entitled to some
consideration, but the Sentinel repelled 1T In
rude and offensive manner. We learn that
Gov. Worth, alarmed at this reply OF the
! Sentinel, gave brother Pell, so-calted, a very
thorough lecture for his folly and hence the
lame apology offered by the Sentinel
But it is too late. We have Inundated
| ourself for the last time to traitors and their
tools. 1t is idle to vote even for Gov. Worth,
| much less to advocate his election. 1t is use
less for him to be candidate. Every vote
cast for him will be thrown away. The
Howard amendment, or something worse for
the South, will certainly prevail; and under
this amendment such public men as Jonathan
Worth cannot hold office unless relieved by
two thirds vote of the Congress. 1t requires
no prophet. to foretell that Jonathan Worth
will not be relieved. He is not only in the
service of, and in sympathy with disloyal
persons, but he bitterly opposes the Howard
amendment. He would remain out of the
Union indefinitely before he would cheerfully
accept it. These facts are well known here,
and they are known in Washington. Hewlll
not, therefore, be relieved, and every vote
cast for him next October will be thrown
away. Instead of going round among the
members of the Convention on the holy Sab
bath day, making arrangements to distribute
his circulars, to prove what is not true, to wit,
that he is an Union man, he had better an
nouncc that he is no longer candidate, and
then devote himself to the work of providing
means to feed those of our poor unfortunate
people who are in a starving condition.
Let him do this, and thousands will rise up
and call him blessed" and even we will do
him more than justice both as man and as
an officer.
81 charge thee, Cromwell, fling away ambition;
For by this sin the angels fell"
Brother Pell, so-callea says he recommend
ed the writer of this for foreign mission, in
order to get him out of the country. Now,
this is untrue, or our neighbor played the
hypocrite when he made the recommends
ton. If the recommendation was not made
in good faith our neighbor acted hypocriti-
cally; if made in good faith, our neighbor, in
saying now it was not so made, tells fib.-
He can hang himself on either horn of the
dilemma that suits him.
But we are not going away. We shall
stay here if our life be spared, 10 these many
years, and we shall continue, as heretofore,
to apply the lash to "scribes, Pharisees, and
hypocrites" We shall not cease this good
work until the Union is restored, the disloyal
expelled from office, and good and patriotic
men put in their places.
