We call particular attention to the
yindication Of himself by our esteemed
friend Col. Berrct, Of Washington City,
formerly Of our county. It viii be
found on our drst page, having been IN
ayoidably crowded out last week by a
press Of other matter which could not
DO postponed. We hope it will be read
by all When acting as Mayor Of
Washington City, he was most unjustly
arrested and imprisoned This salts
factory yindication of his loyalty and
innocence was only called out, at this
late day, by attacks made on him in
Congress, and in the press, by those
who were not acquainted with the facts
Very many have been victims, like him
self, to The violence Of the times, whose
innocence we trust viii be as freely ao-
knowledsed, as the only amends now
possible.

THE DEMOCRATIC ADiOCATE'
THURSDAY, MAY u, 1000.
,r,.uE SENTINEL.

,
Tho ad;torial of last weeks Sentinel,
on the johnson Mass Meeting OF the
10Th inst at Westminster, was charac-
+or;stic Undertaking to talk Of what
be did not know much about, and took
good care not to see, as matter oil
course it was full of blunders from first
TO last. 1t is really not worth replying
to-particularly his low attempt to be
witty at our expense. Ifthe patrons OF
the paper are.pleased with his style OF
handling subjects, We are quite sure we
have no reason to complain of any dam
nge he is likely to do our cause.
Another editorial in the same pa
nor entitled "a Search for Flags,
though evidently the work OF another
hand is Characterised by the same mar
row and iliberal spirit. 1t is really
nainful to see such exhibitions Of fanat-
ic prejudice. The meeting, in the eyes
of this writer, was nothing but collec-
ton of Rebels. Many of the people
who participated in it, all the Officers
and Speakers were original Union men.
Besides, it requires a great deal OF assn
rance to characterize as Rebels the mass
of the Democrats Of this county, who
have never ceased to love their country
and its Union, nor to deplore the dan
ger they have been exposed to from the
misconduct of sectional fanatics. We
think any one who has regard for the
good opinion Of his neighbors should
discriminate little better in his cen
sures. and not calumniate all who atten-
ded SO large and respectable a meeting
II is true that flags were sought for
the use of the meeting nor do we think
II was at all remarkable, We do mol
intend that the Radicals shall monopo-
lie the Flag Of our country; nor that
their sneers shall cause us to respect IT
the less. IT, during the war, rebels u
arms treated that flag with disrespect
we do not sec with what reason that IS
laid to the charge of the people who at
tendedthis meeting, and who b adj ncYe
been guilty Of such offence. Exon i
they had, it should have been gratifying
to all who have true respect for the flas
to see them manifest a disposition to ran,
round itagain--and they should delight
to encourage rather than check such
spirit. Perhaps even Rebels may learn
how to appreciate it better than thos
who seem to regard it only as a symho
Of their peculiar party.
Flags enough for the purpose were
secured aud displayed; but it was
thought a little remarkable that. On the
occasion of a great public meeting t'
sustain the President Of the United
States, the aag which SO often floats
from the staff on the Court Iloe h5all
not be displayed. This was f-om no
fault Of tho managers Of the meeting, a.
they made application to those who ar
supposed to control It; aud were ycry
sorry to learn that the Flag, waa not ia
condition to be raised that it hna
been torn and was sent away to b
mendcd &c. We are glad to see, how
ever, that it has been repaired and thai
it Cor surplus oncJ has since been float
ing in its accustomed place.
