DAILY SENTINEL.
TUESDAY.... ..........SEPTEMBER 20

Twaddle-Abe Lincoln's Speech.

The Hon. Abe Lincoln, the great Ajax of
Republicanism, in his speech at Masonic Hall,
asserted that slavery or freedom in both Territories
and new States, depended entirely upon Congressional
action. In his view, if slavery was
prohibited by Congressional intervention in the
Territories they would come into the Union
as free States; if not, they would come in
as slave States. He stated that neither soil or
climate would influence the determination of the
question, but the result as to whether they would
be free or slave depended entirely upon Congressional
restriction or non-action. This theory he
attempted to illustrate by the history of the North-
Western Territory, and the Ordinance of 1787.
That Indiana was a free State was owing to the
fact that slavery had been prohibited here by
Congress, and had been in nowise dependent
upon the will or the choice of her citizens. Kentucky,
he said, with a soil and climate similar to
Indiana, was a slave State, because slavery had
not been prohibited by Congress while she was in
a Territorial condition. He insisted that slavery
would go into all Territories and would mould
the character of their State constitutions,
unless prohibited by Congress. In this view
Congressional intervention for "freedom" was
the only panacea for the eradication or restriction
of slavery.

Notwithstanding the ordinance of 1787, Indiana
Territory gave a slave code to the territory
now included in the State of Michigan, Illinois
and Indiana. The same authorities also prepared
a slave code for Louisiana Territory.
Slavery, too, by Territorial legislative permission
and protection, was one of the domestic institutions
of Indiana and Illinois, and slaves
were held in them until a late period by the protection
of local laws. When the constitution of
Indiana was adopted, in 1820, the people "in the
free exercise of the right to choose their own
form of government" ordained that "there shall
be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
within the State otherwise than for the punishment
of crimes." Here was an exercise of unquestioned
popular sovereignty. It was the
choice of the people who ordained the constitution
of 1820, and again in 1850, not to have
slavery. If they had desired that domestic institution
they could have had it, and Congress
would have admitted Indiana into the confederacy
with a constitution permitting slavery.

But Hon. Abe Lincoln says that no Territory
was ever admitted as a State with a constitution
prohibiting slavery by the free choice of her people.
In other words, popular sovereignty never
made a free State, or extended slaver, in the
adoption of a State constitution. How was it
with California and with Oregon? Before admission
slavery was not prohibited in those Territories
by Congressional intervention; yet they
came into the Union free States by the voluntary
choice of their inhabitants. How is it with Kansas?
The free choice of her people makes her a free
State. The same will it be with Nebraska, unaffected
by the overshadowing influence of Congressional
action. In Kansas slaves can be as profitably
employed as in Missouri; yet according to
Hon. Abe Lincoln's Republican logic, in the absence
of Congressional prohibition Kansas must
come into the Union as a slave State. And the
same argument will apply to California and Oregon.
The idea which prevails with Mr. Lincoln
and the party he represents is, that the people of
the Territories are incapable of judging whether
their climate and soil better adapts them to free
or slave labor.

The diluted and flimsy arguments of Mr. Lincoln
may appear sound and satisfactory to weak-
headed Republicans, but they can not be accepted
by an intelligent auditory. If Mr. Lincoln is one
of the great guns of Republicanism, and if that
party depend upon the arguments he made
in his speech here to sustain their cause,
there is less in Republicanism, as little as
we have heretofore estimated it, than we had
supposed. With all reflecting men, Mr, Lincoln's
Masonic Hall speech damaged the Republican
cause, adn the same speech made over
the State would do more to confirm Democratic
principles than any other agency we know of.
His plausibility was too transparent to deceive
the most credulous, without possessing even skim
milk substance. Such food may, however, do
for such old line Whig babies as Hon. John D.
Degreks and Hon. Caleb B. Smith, whose weak
stomachs seemed well adapted for it.

Southern Opposition and Slavery.

William C. Swede, of Vickaburg, Mississippi,
a prominent member of the Opposition, has given
his views of parties, in a long letter. His main
sugestion is "that the friends of the Union, of
harmony, of the Government, shall resolve on
this vexed question, that in all Territorial acts it
shall be hereafter inserted that no laws shall be
passed by the Legislatures of the Territories prohibiting
or interfering with the existence of
slavery in them;" and this basis is indorsed by the
National Intelligencer. Now, see how the New
York Tribune comes down upon its Opposition
brother. "What?" it says, "consent to see the
people of the Territories tied hand and foot for
ten, twenty, forty years, by act of Congress, utterly
helpless against the inroads of slavery;
while that institution, despite their remonstances,
can strike its roots permanently into their
soil!" And so the Tribune falls to and denounces
its Mississippi brother as little better than
an infidel, and his suggestion even worse than
the Democratic doctrine of non-intervention!
Then it improves the occasion to renounce that
"the only practicable basis for a union in the next
Presidential election, that which we have so often
expounded, vix., the co-operation of all such as
agree sustantially upon the slavery issues involved
in that contest—holding, in the meanwhile,
minor questions, on which there is no
agreement, in abeyance." In other words, it
falls back on united North—on a purely sectional
basis, which must, necessarily, be repudiated by
fiteen of the States of this Union. Mr. Swede
talks very patriotically; but it will be all talk, so
long as he refuses to join the only national party
that is right on the great question of standing by
the Constitution.

What is Republicanism?—The juvinile organ
of Republicanism, the Atlas, inquires "what is
Democracy? That is a pretty question for an
individual to ask, whose entire political platform
is summed up is "opposition to Democracy."
We judge there must be a great deal in Democracy,
the way the Atlas spends his strength
against it, but we don't think it will hurt much.

Attempt to Ros.—On last Saturday evening,
about eight o'clock, Mr. John King, merchant
of this place, closed his store and started
home to his residence, about a fourth of a mile
north of the store, and when within the yard be
was assailed by two villains that were laying in
wait for him. They threw him down and inflicted
four or five severe blown upon his face and
head, fortunately the injuries, though painful, are
not serious. It is supposed that the assailants
expected to get the money of Mr. King or the
store-keys to help themselves at the store. They
got neither. The reddiness and cry of alarm
of Mr. King caused them to flee without accomplishing
their fiendish purposes. [ch?]
exposed with this affair satisfy the [?]
diet the rogues reside here or is the immediate
vicinity.—Franklin Demoret

POLITICAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS.

—For President.—The Chamberburg (Pennsylvania)
Valley Spirit raises the name of Judge
Black to the head of its columns for the Democratic
nomination at Charleston, and advocates
this selection in a strong editorial.

—The Milwaukee News announces, upon authority,
that Senator Douglas will visit Wisconsin
next month, and address the people on the
great issues of the day.

—The Aurora Party.—Parks Goodwin, in
his recent speech delivered at the "Republican"
State Convention a few days ago, compared the
rapid rise, brilliancy, &e., of the "Republican"
party to the gorgeous aurora borealis, whihc
spread with so much splendor lately over the
whole horizon. This was very pretty had he followed
up the simile. The splendid phenomenon
which furnished the speaker with so beautiful a
figure, unless we are greatly mistaken, and we believe
we are not, vanished from the heavens and
from sight almost as soon as it appeared, and has
not been seen or heard of only in name since.

The broad light of day had the same effect
upon it that the light of truth will have upon Mr.
Godwin's political party. It will disappear and
only be remembered as a strange phenomenon.—
New York News.

—Abe Lincoln.—This distinguished gentleman
is following the footsteps of Douglas, and it
seems his destiny is ever to follow him. He
spoke at Columbus on Friday last. The Statesman,
of that city, says of his speech there:

The Young Men's Republican Club must have
been mortified at the very meagre audience in
attendance at the Lincoln meeting held yesterday
afternoon on the eastern terrace of the State
House. The Douglas meeting on Wednesday
week at the same place, could well have spared a
number of men equal to that which heard Lincoln
on yesterday, and not missed them from the assemblage.
The meeting yesterday was indeed a
"beggarly account of empty boxes," and the
speaker disappointed all who heard him. We
should be content to have Mr. Lincoln speak on
the eastern terrace every day from this time
until the election. He is not an orator. He can
hardly be classed as a third rate debator. The
most of his time was taken up in what he supposed
to be a review of Douglas' Popular Sovereignty
doctrine, and the article in Harper on that
subject. He is opposed to the principle of leaving
to the people of the Territories the right to mold
their institutions in their own way; is in favor
of the intervention of Congress and the control
of the people of the Territories through Congressional
power; and further, he is of opinion
that there is an "irrepressible conflict between
the States of this Union which will never end,
until all are made free or all are made slave
States." Mr. Lincoln is not a great man—very,
very far from it, and his visit here will not pay
expenses. Indeed the Republicans feel that
they have bured their fingers by bringing him
here. Happily for them, however, the audience
was so small that his very inferior speech will do
much less damage than it would have done had the
audience been large.

All accounts agree that he failed to draw the
crowd at Cincinnati that Mr. Douflas did. The
Enquirer says of the meeting there:

The Opposition have been making great preparations
all the week to draw together a meeting
that would rival that which turned out to greet
Senator Douglas on Friday, 9th inst. They sent
to Illinois and procured Mr. Lincoln, Douglas'
unsuccessful competitor for the United States
Senate, in hope that his fame, linked as it is with
Mr. Douglas, would draw out the masses.

They gave notice of the meeting in all the city
journals for a week, and had large bill posters
out for several days. They appointed it in Fifth
street Market-space, on Saturday night, which
is the best place and the best night in the week
to draw out a large crown. They fired heavy
cannon in the streets and discharged fire-works
from the speaker's stand. Notwithstanding all
this work, aided by a fine night, the meeting was
not one-quarter as large as that of Mr. Douglas,
who came here on short notice, on a different
night from that which he had appointed.

Mr. Lincoln, although a man of some ability,
is not a very pleasing or impressive speaker, and
we think disappointed the expectations of his
friends.

A Man after God's own Heart.—Dr. Taney,
a relative of Chief Justice Taney's, recently
eloped with the wife of a Baptist deacon, from
the village where they both resided, in Knox
county, Ohio. They were respectable people
and worthy memebers of society—both held high
positions in the same church. She left three little
children, one a sweet babe of ten months old;
he left four or five. The day before they eloped
he took his wife, a gentle, blue-eyed, beautiful
woman, and her babe, on a visit to his brother's
and told her not to come back until the next
evening, that he would take good care of the
other children in her absence. When she came
home he had been gone over fourteen hours, and
the lonely little ones were all crying. When the
dreadful intelligence came, she fell to the floor,
and lay moaning and weeping in intensest agony,
refusing to be comforted. It was a day and a
night before a word of consolation to which she
would listen fell into that stricken heart. Poor,
poor Carrie! and this is the love of woman!

The bereft husband, (compare him, reader,
with that roue, Sickles,) who idolized his wife,
followed and overtook them in Monroeville, Huron
county, where he found the erring woman
prostrated with illness. The spirit of the humble
Christian predominated in his heart. Without a
word of cruel upbraiding, he staid and nursed her
back to life, then he talked with the Doctor and
her, and reasoned with them, and promised to
forgive all, and smooth the matter over, adn hid
the facts from the world. But, with a sorrow too
deep for utterance, did he learn that her heart was
no longer his, that she loved another better than
her own sweet babe and her kind husband. He
took her hand in his and forgave her all—certified
in writing that he gave her up on condition she
would marry the object of her choice as soon as
possible, and he would never molest them. He
gave her $160, and good advice, wished the blessing
of God to rest upon her, and then, bowing
under his burden of grief, he returned to his
poor, motherless babes, and his desolate hearth.

The hard world that pats Sickles on the back
approvingly, will sneer, and call the Deacon a—
fool, and his bleeding heart will go down to the
grave unappreciated. God and the blessed angels
will draw near and comfort him.—Cleveland Herald.

Squatter Sovereignty.—We have said before,
in these columns, that more learned nonsence
has been expended, and more senseless fools have
expended more gab on this subject of squatter
sovereignty than any other that has ever engaged
public attention. Mr. Douglas is denounced
for his squatter sovereignty notions by
every little cross-roads politician in the country.
Ask him what squatter sovereignty is, and he
knows just as much about it as a hog does about
Christmas.

Under present circumstances there can be no
such thing as squatter sovereignty, for the simple
reason that the United States do not possess a
single foot of unorganized territory upon which a
fellow can squat. Every inch of the territory
now belonging to the United States is duly and
legally organized with Territorial governments—
executive, legislative and judicial. They have
all been erected into organized communities by
the Government of the United States, and are, of
course, capable of attending to their own affairs
—of giving expression to their wants and necessities,
their likes and dislikes. If these Territories
are not States, they are at least quasi States,
settled by intelligent emigrants from the States,
and their wishes and opinions are at least entitled
to our respect. Above all, they are not lawless
sqatters, but by reason of their recognition by
our Government, they are half-way members of
our Federal Union.—Memphis Appeal.

Aid for Ireland.—The New York Observer
states that a deputation from the Presbyterian
Chruch of Ireland is on its way to this country,
to ask for aid in the prosecution of the Missionary
work in that Island. It consists, says the
Observer, of the Rev. Dr. Edgar, one of the noblest
philanthropists of Ireland, and whose name
is nearly as familiar here as in his own land; and
of the Rev. David Wilson, of Limerick, and of the
Rev. Samuel Dill, of Ballymons. Dr. Cooke to
one of the deputation; but his coming is not
certain. Official duties may prevent him; but
there is some hope that the old man elequent may
pay us a brief visit.

[?] The Independent states that the [?] silk
and fancy dry goods section houses in New York
"hammered off" last year, on six months' credit,
the enormous amount in value of $3,000,000 of
foreign merchandise, consisting mostly of silks,
ribbons and printed goods.

ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS.

—The Emperor of Morocco is dead.

—Miss Carroll, a beautiful young lady attached
to the circus, ran off with a man the other
day in Illinois. In marrying him she married
beneath herself. She was a tight-rope dancer
and he a ground tumbler.

—Calcutta, India, was visited July 26th by a
fearfully disastrous hurricane. Immense damage
was done on shore, and forty-six vessels, including
two steamships, were lost in the river
Hoogley. Several lives were lost.

—It is understood that the $30,000 has to be
paid to complete the purchase of Mount Vernon.
Under the superintendence of the competent gentleman
the out-houses have been repaired; the
old paths, almost obliterated, are being traced
and cleaned up, and other measures are in progress
to arrest the ravages of decay.

—"Susan," sai j a Connecticut young servant
girl in Norwich, looking out of the upper story of
a small grocer, addressing another girl who was
trying to enter at the front door, "we've all been
to camp meeting and been converted, so when
you want milk on Sunday, you will have to come
in at the back door."

—Fearful Accident at Boston.—Mr. Davis
and wife, of New Orleans, while crossing the
track of the Worcester Railroad in a carriage,
was struck by the locomotive of a passing train.
Mrs. Davis was instantly killed and her husband
was severly injured. Mrs. Davis was thrown
over a two story building.

—A "medium" not far from Niagara Falls,
had a strange vision a few days since. She saw
a rope swinging in the air—a sudden sensation
among crowds of people, and a great funeral procession.
The interpretation is, that Blondin, in
attempting to go through his performances, will
fall from the rope and lose his life, and that his
body will be attended to the grave by a large
number of people.

—Sharp, Very.—A negro man who purchased
his freedom went to New York State, and by
rigide economy saved $600, which he entrusted to
an Abolition lecturer to go to Delaware and buy
his oldest daughter. The lecturuer was overcome
on his charitable errand by a fair daughter
of the State of Delaware, whom he married and
then pocketed the $600 given to him by the negro.
This is about as far as the principle of an
Abolitionist extends—as far as it is possible to
make money out of it.—Savannah Republican.

—The Queen of Spain is said to be as much
addicted to port wine, as "Court scandal" says
Queen Victoria is. But it affects both rather differently.
The Queen of Spain suffers from it
internally. Queen Victoria externally. The
Queen of Spain is interfered with medicinally;
Queen Vicoria is physically. It touches the Queen
of Spain's heart and head; it touches Queen
Victoria's face and feet. These be strange contrasts
as truly as these be two Queens, and
that the thing in question is port wine—the
real thing too.

—The Artesian wells of this city are getting
to be our greatest card, abroad. The one last
sunk at the corner opposite the King and Buckingham
Elevators, elicits very general remarks
from the large number of produce men who are
daily visiting our city. With a bore of six inches
for 60 feet and three inches for the last 18 feel, it
continues to discharge constantly at the rate of a
barrel in 120 seconds—as pure and sweet water
as ever passed human lips.—Toledo Times.

—The Boston Spiritual Age proposes that the
Spiritualists shall organize as a political party,
nominate Governor Tallmadge or Judge Edmonds
for the Presidency, and make their influence
felt in 1860. Upon this the Springfield Republican
remarks—"But what if the spirits should
take it into their heads to elect their candidates
by ballot-box stuffing? The most authentic accounts
fo to show that they could put the requisite
number of ballots into the boxes without the
knowledge or consent of the officers of election,
and in a way to defy all scrutiny or detection.
They may even change the names on the genuine
ballots deposited, and so leave us no certainty at
all of an honest vote, and that there are enough
of them who would have no scruples of conscience
as to such a trick, the history of spiritual
performances for the last dozen years clearly establishes."

—The Edinburgh (Scotland) Court of Session
was, at last accounts, about to investigate one of
the most stupendous cases of swindling to be
found in the history of trade. The Carron Iron
Company was formed in 1773, and it would appear
that from that period down to the present
time the active management of the concern has
been monopolized by two closely related families
named Stainton and Dawson. The Staintons
and Dawsons, it is alleged, have plundered the
Company to an extent which really seems almost
incredible. The balance sheets were systematically
falsified, and the shareholders were kept in
utter ignorance as to the real state of the property.
A faint idea of the gigantic nature of these frauds
may be gathered from the fact that when one of
the Stainton's executors was about to be procsecuted
by the Company for the amount of certain
fictitious entries in the books, the claim was
compromised by a payment of £220,000!

—New York Gossip.—The New York correspondent
of the Charleston Mercury, writing
September 5th, has the following items:

The Diamond Wearer.—I must tell you of a
very sensible, uncommonly matter-of-fact gentleman
in this city, who unites to all the strong-
minded qualities of his sex the most feminine
fondness of brilliants. He wears about $6,000
worth stuck about him in every accountable
shape. Shirt studs, sleeve buttons, breast pin,
and numerous finger rings, are all single stones
of the first water; and the same charming jewels
gleam in the open links of his watch chain, and
are thickly studded in the back of his time-
keeper. It is an off fancy for a man who is exceedingly
plain and rather negligent in his other
attire.

—Fighting the Tiger —One of your South
Carolinians has been "fighting the tiger" at an
up-town faro bank. In an engagement with that
terrible and generally invinciple beast, the other
night, the South Carolinian floored him completely,
and took $27,000 from his clutches.
But alas! for the fickelness of luck!—it was only
two days subsequently that the young victor, after
another struggle with the dangerous animal,
was stripped of all his winnings and $2,300 to
boot.

Sons of Malta.—"Jeems" was recently initiated
into the order of the Sons of Malta, and
graphically describes his introduction into the
"vale of mystery," as follows:

"You are first grabbed and thrown into a tub
of cold water, and forthwith several large men
begin to stick pins in you. Hauling you out of
the tub of water, they rush you into another department,
and now new men make a lunge after
you, dressed in disguise, and immediately commence
pouring hot molasses into your hair and
boots. Meanwhile, a stream of cold water is
flooded on to you, and a man dressed in black
thrusts a snuff box in front of your nose, and all
at once you befin to sneeze vociferously, and the
eager crowd begins to laugh and hurrah. Shoving
you further along, the chief men and bottle-
washers grab you by the nose, hair, and coat tail,
and in this way rip every bit of dry goods loose
from your person, and again the crowd roars with
tumultuous laughter at your nude state, with five
or six men holding on to your hair and toes, forcing
you up a soaped pole with pins and sharps
sticks. You now begin to think you are forsaken
by all of God's people, and the devil has certainly
got possession of you, knocking you on the head
so that you see stars as numerous as they are in
the milky way. You are handled in this kind of
tantalizing way for two hours, when the officers
give you a large dose of liverwort and tar, and
then let you go."

A Nunnery.—Dr. Buist, during his northern
trip, communicates his notes of travel, short and
pithy, to that excellent paper, the Laurensville
Herald. While at Montreal he visited the establisment
of the Grey nuns, and says:

A Nunnery is somewhat different from what I
had supposed. Indeed, I have never met a book
which gave me the least hint of its true character.
I had supposed it simply a religious house
for unmarried females; but they are not so at all;
they are chiefly hospitals for the infirm—old,
blind and sick, and orphans. where hundreds
of children are educated and taken care of.
And the Nuns are engaged in managing, superintending,
teaching, sewing, and in every respect
controlling these large and charitable foundations.
This feature in the Nunnery is most commendable,
and makes them very popular in Montreal.
The Nunneries, too, are very wealthy,
and have great influences. About seven hundred
persons live in the establisment of Grey Nuns,
and [?] one hundred and twenty are Nuns, so
you may Judge how largly it is a charitable institution.

New Tecumseh was Killed.

The Western Christian Advocate of this week
contains an obituary notice, of Isaac Hamblin, Sr.,
who died at his residence, near Bloomfield, Ind.,
a few months since, aged about eighty-six years.
Mr. Hamblin was a man of deep piety and unquestionable
veracity. He was in the battle of
the Thames, and the writer gives the following
as his statement in regard to the manner in which
Tecsumseh was killed:

He says he was standing but a few feet from
Colonel Johnson when he fell, and in full view,
and saw the whole of that part of the battle.
He was well acquainted with Tecumseh, having
seen him before the war, and having been a prisoner
seventeen days, and recieved many a cursing
from him. He thinks that Tecumseh thought
Johnson was Harrison, as he often heard the
chief swear that he would have Harrison's scalp,
and seemed to have a special hatred toward him.
Johnson's horse fell under him, he himself being
also deeply wounded; in the fall he lost his
sword, his large pistols were empty, and he was
entangled with his horse on the ground. Tecumseh
had fired his rifle at him, and when he
saw him fall he threw down his gun and bounded
forward like a tiger sure of his prey. Johnson
had only a side pistol ready for use. He aimed
at the chief over the head of his horse, adn shot
near the center of his forehead. When the ball
struck it seemed to him that the Indian jumped
with his head full fifteen feet into the air; as soon
as he struck the ground a little Frenchman ran
his bayonet into him and pinned him fast to the
ground.

Liberian Emigration.

It is the design of Rev. John McKay, of Madison,
to remove with his family and several of
his kindred to Liveria in the spring. Mr. McKay
acted as Agent of the Colonization Board for several
years, and is a reliable man. He has some
experience in the emigration work, as he accompanied
a large band of emigrants from this State
to Africa in the fall of 1853, and returned, giving
entire satisfaction to the Board.

If any of our people of color desire to remove,
now is a good time, and we hope that the friends
of African regeneration will simulate all the
moral and intelligent colored people of their acquaintance
to aid in the good work of giving a
nationality to this long depressed race. One
small Christian settlement on the African coast
is worth more to the race than one of the numerous
war ships kept at a vast expense on those
stations. Those wishing to emigrate will please
inform us in time.

Attempted Forgery.—A bold, but unsuccessful
forgery, was attempted on the Commercial
Bank this afternoon. A man about thirty-five
or forty years of age—in his shirt sleeves, and
otherwise attired as a boatman—presented a
check for $580, which purported to have been
drawn by Moore & Pierce. The signature was
well calculated to deceive, but thee filling up of
the check was rather awkwardly done, and excited
the suspicions of Cashier McBride, and he asked
the man where he obtained it. He replied, "at
the warehouse," and remarked that the person
in whose favor ithad been drawn, was outside.
McBride declined paying the check except to the
owner in person, and the man went out to look
for him. A messenger was dispatched to the
warehouse of Moore & Pierce, and it was ascertained
that no such check had been drawn. The
officers are on the alert, but as yet no further clue
has been discovered to the perpetrators of the
forgery.—Lafayette Courier.
