The State Sentinel of yesterday,
formally reads Ex-Judge Perkins out
Of the Democratic party. 1t says:
We are happy to announce that
j udge Perkins has at last discovered
Tie Northwest passage, and that it
ooens into the Republican party. His
many friends will learn from the fol-
lowing card, published in yesterday
mornings Journal, that he has made
The voyage safely.
The card alluded to, appeared in
the JOURNAL of yesterday. The Sea-
incl feels bad. and parts with the
distinguished Judge more in grief
than anger. It says:
The friends of Judge Perkins viii
also observe that he receives &c the
hands of his new allies the same treat
ment generally meted out TO rene
gades. He is at once put to dirty
use, and is made to give fling at
some unnamed person about the old
canal debt-his new masters hoping,
no doubt, by this means, to draw pub
lia attention from ex- Major General
Robert II. Milroy. But the Judge is
toe newly baptized in the Republican
faith to make it desirable to substi
Ute him for Milroy. No doubt, the
Republican leaders will make him
7ssirable game before the campaign
il over, but 1t must be upon some 9TH
er subiect-the canal debt belongs
exclusively to General Milroy and
the party that has selected him as its
andard bearer.
