With the Editors of the Sentinel the enc"
emphatically "justifes the MEANS" They
would resort to any thing to destroy politi-
cal opponent. For example, when they wish
to injure US in North Carolina they assail us
as an Unionist, aud charge that we acted
"dishonorably" in trying to make peace in
1868. And when they wish to injure US with
the Northern people, they denounce US as a
secessionist. This is one specimen of their
consistency. But it is all the same to them.
Like the highway robber who wants money,
they do not sickle as to the means. But
their career will be cut short The day il
coming when they will again crouch and beg
like whipped spaniels.
