resolution was passed, and now the good

Suppose when our legislature meets in

guarding the doors which lead TO the hall of
the house of representatives, with instrue-
tons to allow no man to enter who has not
a pass from Mr.. Holmes, the late clerk OF the
house or from Mr.. Downey, the governors

from day to day points to these acts of des-
pOtism and asks the people to reflect upon
the inevitable results If the steady tramp of

should be prepared to discuss them.
THE most tremendous consequences for

kept prominently before its readers. If law
triumphs. we have government of law. Ii
bayonets beat down the courts, we have
government of force. In the one case the
American people are free-in the other they
are slaves. There is no Disgusting the stu

as il they were lines Of fire. ON one
side is fraud and the military, on the other
law and the people. The Sentinel. in this
hour OF peril, appeals to the people-it axis
for solemn deliberation-it seeks for coun-
Gil, where, should this storm burst upon the
country, the power TO resist it must come.
The Sentinel has not sought unnecessarily
to create alarm. The people are not easily
frightened they are not Belshazzars.
Grants orders do not loose the joints of
their lOins, or make their knees tremble.
Nevertheless they are anxious, and ii ii shall
