DAILY SENTINEL. TUR CSIOX If MUST BK MKflE&YEI). Jxtuto SATURDAY MORS ISO, AUGUST 22. Itepablleavn Lffgle. Mr. Lt!coi wi elected President by de eided minority of the rotes of the people. The result of the popular rote, according to Gkkelct' Almanac. i as follow i: LtrrroLX. 1,jGC.452I Docgiav 1.375,157; Beechxudoc, ?17,953; Hell. 590,6.11. The totvl popular vote in the election of lrCO, wit 4,650,133. Mr. Lincoix receire-1 1 66,452, o that the majority against him of all the rotes cast was Bl 3,711. Although Mr. LceL.v received only a rninonir of the popular rot, jet he was elected Freai lent ac nrilmg to the prorision and forms of the Con tttntion It is the Constitution, thereTorr, th.it maVe hi in President. He h-jld his office uuir and by virtue of thtt tnstru metit. The American pe-jple reconue him rresident, although a majority of near a million of the popular rote sn a(;siiiet Ms elec tionbccsue he recei'! a msjority of the cler. torsi ro'es. Rf virtue of the Constitution, niiI not as rhe choice of the people, he holds the office of Trn' Jent. What shadow of right or apology tbeu, has Mr. Liscotx U disregard any prortsiou of the" Constitution bt wht authority cm he suspend the Constitution through which nlnne he derives his official position and authority? He bss none whatever. He is just as much subject tu the Constitution and the laws as the humblest citison, and every violation on his put of the Constitution and laws is as much -i crime nimtl the Government as that of any other citizen who disregards his cotistitutional ohligstions and violite the laws enacted under it. Rut new idejs have sprung up in reRsrd to the obligitioiis of the citizen. No matter how faithful he may be to the Constitution and the laws, according o RepuMiran logic, if he refused allegiance to the Administration or nitty in power, he is a traitor. That is the Republicsn ide.i of treihou. It is hot unfsithfulncAS to the Constitution, but disloyalty to the Uepublicau Prt JIHOO and lftß.1. The court orpin, and in that it is a faithful represntativt of the Republicsn leaders, is i rope! led and guidtd by a single sentiment, and tint is intense hstrei of Democracy. In 1b60 and Ir6l it fsvore-1 a separation of the Stites it propose"! letting the dissatisfied States dissolve their connection with the Government and entsblish sn inJeeudent confederacy, upon the ground thst such a policy would establish its party upretnscy over the remaining States. It pronounced a civil war, SHch as the country has etneriemed far the past to rears, a worse evil than the loss of a dozen States In 1S6.1 it advocates the vtg orous prosecution of a civ i I war, notwithstanding the verv erils which it prMlit,e'I would result from it are upon the country. Why this incon sistency jonless to gratify its partisan malevo. lence? In 1560 the court organ occupied exactly the sine pixition toward the BaecKiNainor moteraent of that eir as it does toward the- "War Democracy of this. It pave all the aid and comfort it could to the farmer movement und the men who were enged in it. and it sp -k ju.it a kimily and encouragingly of them ss it does of the "W.r Democracy" now And why? Ithsd no oihrr object r motir in lw60 but t create dimension or divi.-ion in the Denocratir party. On the-31st day of July, there wis a m mrffing of the 'BmcKtMii'r.r. Dcnocrary" held in " this city Th court o"n ainl the Republican press -of the State urge! the attend ance of all "loyal citirena to give it ch iracter Cisctly the same s ip;ort whs given to th.it con reotion that the "War Democracy" have re eeived from the ssme source; and both werfe composed mainlr of Republicans We quote from the court organ of Auut 1, lnt, its com ments upon the Rreckinridge convention of the day previous to t!!utrat ita motive in encouraging that division in the Democratic ranis. It said: The comparative strength of the two factions of the Democrscr in this State U a point of a preat desl of importance, and not a few will be disposed to determine it by the magndule of th crowds attending their State meetings. This is undoubtedly an illusive standard, but, next to an actual count, it is the bct accessible. Judging by it, the Breckinridge party in Indiana are as strong as their rivals. Their crowd of yesterday was quite as large as that of! the lSih (the State msss Democratic rati6cation i convention ) There mav have been more i Republicans present, but we asw about s many j atone meeting as another, and, taking all the indications together, we should say, in all sincer- j ity.that the two meetings were about cqusl inj numbers, spirit and respectability. j The judgment of the court organ was that the j Democratic parties were about equally divided in j lSliO What was the result? Notwithstanding! " the Democratic Stte ticket was defl ated, tbe j vote in Indiana itood as follows: Dörens 115.- i 509; Parcaisaipc.s 12.295. Thus it willbeeen that the Democracy stood by their organization j as it will stand cow. The comments of the court organ upon the m)s convention of the "War Denocrscy," composed as it was msinly of intense Republican, corresponds with thoae it ran Je u;n the BbickisatpcE convention in I3l. Spesking of the number in attendance and the character of the i convention, it says: . "But a more reasonable effort would m ke it ' 10.0(l to 15.00t). The crowd around the rot:i i tand was larje as that which besrd I Dan Voorhees at the copperheid convention The esst ide of the State Houe yrd was a rass of meu (what a whopper.) Such a demonstration of the strength and extent of the loyal feelin in the only prtv from which the ; eouatrv has now anything to fear, from which, j indeed, the rebellion borrows all the strength it i has, and wu.fi out which tlie Confeeracv would! fall in a mouth, it crt cheerinz " 3 I Tbe court orao eihibits just exactly the same ' Intense partisan katistd of the Democracv in lf63 as it did In 1SC0. Oen. Cas. whom the War Democracy anoonncwJ as tbair bi gun, wrote V the Democracy of f eansjlrania. a short time ago, that the great danger to tbe country, af.d

which It lad to fear, wt from the "Jacob ns and

Yet to illutrte its cna:stenrj. j it pablishes extracts from the le-1irg rebel j ur- j nali, denouncing the Democracy of the North as ; the worst enemies of their caue. The only hope j , ., r.. ,i i or preserving the Government as it was irmel i r 6 . by the men of tbe rerolution is in the return or, tbe Democratic party to power. This is the re- j ult the Jacobins and radicals fear.

The nal of trie iYr nenocrAcy" I tatennble. ' We see, just dow. desperate effort heinc made ' to form a new political party, to be stvlel "The ! War Democrscy." Ita conception is a fixed fact; but whether it will pass successfully through the several stages of parturition, depends upon cer tin conditions, which we purpose briefly examin-. ing. A new party is necessary, say its accoucheurs, becsuse. l?t. No party has ever survived oppovj. tion to a war in this republic; 21, therefore, all anti war parties will be overthrown; 3, The De tnocracr are opposed to the present war; 4th. therefore, they are destined to speedily die. This statement is what we, every day, see ira the "war journals," and bear from its advocates' Submitted to the test of logical aml)ii. it h a gross fallacy, deceiving no intelligent man, and: addressed exclusively to the ignorant. Admit" the first proposition, is the second a logical deduction? Because all past anti war parties have succumbed, does that fate awa't those of the future? If so, a war to overthrow every conetitu tional rip'ht, and to substitute a depoti?m, would become popular with the very people who are thereby enslaved. The truth is, a war is not of itself popular with the American people, but because of its surroundings. Heretofore our wars bave been in self defense, or in the vindication of outrages to the persons and property of our citizens, and with foreign powers. The Revolutionary war gave birth to a nation and to a republic. The war of 1812 confirmed its independence; that with Mexico added a va.-t domain to our n& tional porfcssions, rich in all the elemtnts of wealth and power, and was fought with little cost of treasure or blood. In order to make the deduction logical, the premises must be established, and must exclude every other conclusion. The present war muet be similar to its predectsor.a, fought upon like priuciple and for like purpoes. It is not agalnrt a foieign power, but Against our own citizens. It adds not a single arre to the natioual domain, nor a soul to our population, or a dollar to our wealth. It is not for independence, but to subject to national authority those in rebellion against it. It burdens the nation with sin inextinguishable debt, imposes unprecedented and onerous taxation upon the people, introduces strange and odious feature, into the machinery of novein-r! . , , . ,. .a mcui. lue. a u.e excc iw, ll)e license sclera, &c, devastates a large portion of the country and alienates the affections of the conquered people from those who vanquished them. Are these the elements of popularity? Opposition to the Mexican war was not the death of the Whig party. Its demise is direct!?

traceable to a cardinal difference of opinion uponi c,r to fhe h,,,u.pe' "f"" ,hp r"',.f ;,Q,e r r distance from the rod. It pissed down into tbe blavery question. So long as that question the apartments of the dwelling, meandering its was subordinate to others national in their char way through some four or five rooms, and acter. it not only lived, but was formidable i Merely shocking several persons that were ivi .i . i . i- i i asleep in them as it passed.

' "v . r ". and from that cause. If opposition to war killed political parties.it would, it is fir to presume, bring to political death the individual opponent. Corwin, Lincoln and others, bitter foes to the Mexican war, not only live, but are in power, representatives of .a dominant party. The members of the political party in the New Englaud States that opposed the war of 1612. not only retained their power, but thev and their legitimate successors i j- ... . , have nnde constant accessions, and to day ate in the ascendency in the administration of the National Government. The thirl proposition is not true in point of fact. The Democracy are not opposed to the present war vr tf. They were opposed to com mencing it until all reasonnble overtures for peve were exhtusted, and insist that if the Repunncan memner oi congress na.i jieinea to a just compromise, it would have been avoided, and in that ooinion thev are nsiaine.i' hr tb r. cords of Conines,. They are opposed to r.t!n features connected w ith the pr.ecution of the war in violation of the Constitution, and insist it can he waetl successfully without them. Thev ... .,.,..1 r.v. u

the restoration of the Lmoti according to tlie Constitution. Upon the war itself as an abstraction, separated from the slavery question and Stite r'&hts, all parties are agreed; upon these question?, the people divide. Who is right? The fourth position, or the second sequence, is illogical, because the premises are untrue. The 'War Democracy" must either favor the emancipation policy, ot oppose it. It they favor it, the Democrats who voted the ticket !n lw63 will not atTiliate with them; nor will the people of the scciiled States, who are the victims, be likely to he of them, unless the laws of human nature are reversed. If they oppoe that policy, tbe abolition element, by far the largest of tbe Republicon party, will net up for themselves, as they have heretofore done. If they oppose the emancipation policy, they mut rely mainly upon the Democracy for their support. What, then, wilt be the use of a new organixition - what its hopes ot success with a united or depopulated South? If the peo pie. now rebels, of the South are suffered to live J and txicome citizens of the republic agiin, they l will sur.d aloof from any political organixition I , . ' . ! ho-e members during the war gave a h.arty or j tacit acquiescence in anti slavery measures If they are annihilated, they will not be there to vote against Northern Abolitionist', who will then be in their ascend int. Thee are plain fscts, and the conclusion is ubrioc that the "War Democracy, " as a separate political organization, wii! be a failure. Tie true policy for those who are in favor of suppressing the rebellion, but opposed to abolitionism, is to rally to the old Democratic standard aud strive there to keep it tree from the errors of secevuonL-m and abolitionism, and pledged to vigorous prosecution of the war, within the Constitution, to restore the Union, and to a constitutional settlement of its eequences.

That the recent rebel raid into our State by John Morgan and his men, and, the con equent loss of property to our citizens, is the le gitimate fruit of the teaching of, and justly charpeable upon, the Abolition paity, who, for nearlv two rear.', has falselr represented the De mocracy of this State as traitors and rebel sym pathizers, thereby inducing the rebels to inrade our State with the hope of receiving aid and comfort from our citizens. 4.

Dkatu or Glorgk W.SriTLFR. We recorded a few days sg the death of Mr. SriTtru, by lightning. He was known to a large number of the citizens of Indiana .as a pood citizen, a true fiiend, a faithful putdic servant, and, in all the relation of life, "an honest man, the noblest work of God." A correspondent of the Lafayete Courier furnishes the following sketch of his life and the citcunWances attending his death: The death of George W. Sj itler of Renselaer, by lightning, on the m jrning of the 17th instant, was one of the most peculiar instances of the T I. .1 I Tl . 1 ....-1-1 Kinu on return. i ne uoue is hiiuaieu auoui one a mUe frum lown on a considerable sand ridge in a grove of tall timber, and is two and a half stories high, protected by a lightning rod the first three sections of which is octaginal copper; the balance is rod iron. The most reaonab!e theory is that the copper received a creater charge than the iron could carry off. 1 he consequence was that s1 P"'ti'Mi of the electricity was diverted Iroin the f(f the deceased, which is on the first floor, where he was in bed with his wife It pissed up the foot pot of his bel through his body, and down the head poat, killing the deceased and shivering it as it passe! ; then through the flour into the ground. His wife, w ho was nwke at the time, was unconscious that her husband was utruck, and only felt the shock in her foot, in which she is afTlicte! with'rheum t sua. He had hec.n awake but moment before, and had changed his position in the bed. She had bean up but a moment befoieand closed the door. The deceased had 'k I position tome nack part ot the Oeo, , to nable lier to L'et in without inconvenience. He lay quictlv. Death had done its work so suddenly s i.ot to disturb a muscle. The bed room was lighted for a moment by the flash, and, as nbove stated. Mr. S. felt a slight shock in her lame foot. Little lieamincr ttiat her husband .was ft corpse by her side, she ouietlv remarked: i"That shocked my foot" there 'was no re?pone. The remark we repeated; but still no reply, when placing her hand upon him. the bead truth fl ashed upon her mind. An ex ,mi,1(lljon of the body disclosed no marks, save a slicht discoloration of the skin in a straight luie trom the foot to the head. There was. no of the features-all placid as though fl tsleep f The deceased was among the first settlers of Jasper county, sjd for eighteen ears filled the dTites of Clerk. Auditor, and Recorder of the h - countr. He was possessed of fine business quali several of the public wotks of the State. lie 'had many virtues of high order. Charity and kin lnes w ere the chief characteristics of his nature. It is no exaggeration to say that thousands nf poor people, if all were living, would re jror to the time when he was more than friend or f:rothcr. And s'roi did thev manifest their sorrow when thoustnds met, from his own and adjoining counties, to mincle their tears at his funeral. It is no idle iho! It is genuine grief ! Look, behold that poor widow; her eyes nre red with weeping. She has been tc'lmir how ho sent ;wnod during the winter storms, when ?he could cet it rnwhere else; how he sent her n.ett and flour when she had no money to pay. Hundreds are telling similar circumstances. Such a grave reeds no sculptured monument to mark the spot. The well betten paths in the grave yard will lead you to it. The epitaph is mote lasting than upon marble. L. The Draft In evv York Proclamation of Ciov. Seymour. Excvtive Chamber, Aug 1, lr63. I have received information that the draft is aU)ut to be made in the cities of New York and Rrooklvn. and I ui derst.tnd tint 'here is dinner 0f disorderly and i iotous ..tucks u.n those who are engaged in executing the law of Congress J nuot believe that any considerable number of citizens are dsst-ise-l to rer.ew the shameful , , f . . - . . lives of so romy, as well of the innocent as of the guilty, were destroyed. Our courts are now conigning to severe puni-hmer.t many of those who were then guilty of acts destructive of the iives an f property of their fellow citizens. These verts should teach all thst real or imaginary wrunzs cannot be corrected by unlawful violence. The hlerties of our country and the rights of car ritizer.s can only be preservedby a ju-t regard for legal obligations and an acquiescence in the devision of judicial tribuna!s. While I believe it would have been a wise and humane policy to bave procured a judicial decision with legard to the constitutionality of the conscription act. at an early day and by a summary process, yet the failure to do this in no decree justifies ai-y violent opposition to an act of Congress. Until it is set aside by the decision of u i i-inl tribunals, it must t obeyed like anv other ct of the State or Na. iousl Leg;lature." The following rule of duty in this respect was laid down in the farewell address ot Andrew Jackson. This view has always been accepted by the friends of our Union and the upholders of our Constitution: "Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may no doubt be passed by Congress, either from erroneous v:ea or the want ot due consideration. If they are in teach of judicial authority, theieraedy is easy and peaceful, and if from the character of the law it is an abuse of p wer not within the control of the judiciary, then free discussion and calm appeals to ream and to tbe justice of the

peple will r.ot fail to redress the wronz Put ODld the law shall be declared voi I by the cour'S or repealed by Congress, no individual, or em bir.ation of individuals, can be justified in resist iog its execution. 1 be antagonistic doctrine that men may right fully resist laws opposed to tbeir own ideas of right or duty, bss not only led to great disorders and Tiolence, but is one of the chief causes of the destructive civil war which has waited tbe blood and treasure of our people. Disregard for the acredress f the Constitution, for the mjety of law, and for the decisions of (he judiciary, it is at th;s time the greatest d irtier which threatens A mericao liberty. This spirit of ditdoyaltr must be put down. It is iicon-iient with social order and sociil security, destructive .o the safety of persons and property, and subversive of tlie liberty of the citizen ami the freedom of tbe mtion. Tboe who fear that there are designs in any quarter to overthrow the rights of the citizen, or to obstruct the accustomed administration of our ivws.or to usurp any tniwer in violation of consti tutional restraints, fhnuld lesr in mind that all acts of violence, all pu' lie disorders poe the way for thrse very usurpations, ai d that they will be regarded with satisfaction by those who for for any cause may wish to destrey either the

power or rights of our National or State Governments. Tbe Constitution and statutes of the State and nation contain ample remedies for all wrongs which may be committed either by rulers or citi rens, and those w ho w ish to preserve their rights or to punish offenders, whether in public or in private life, shuuld themselves carefully perform their duty, abstain from all illegal acts; gener-ou-ly support the Government, and then calmly and resolutely claim their rights. I again repot the warnings which I gave you during the riotous proceedings of the past month, that "the only opposition to the conscription which can be allowed Is an appeal to the courts." "The right of every citizen to make such sn arpeI will be maintained, and the decision of the courts must be re-peced anl obeyed by rulers and people alike. No other course is consistent with the maintenance of the laws, the peice and order of the city, and the safety of its inhabi tanta "Riotous proceedings must and sha'l be put down. The laws of the State of New York mu.-t be enforced, its peace and order maintained, and the lives and projerty of all citizens protected at any and every hazard. The rights of every citizen will be properly guarded and defended by the chief magistrate of the State." I hereby admonish all judicial nnd executive officers. whoe duty it is to enforce the law and pre-erve public order, that they take vigorous and effective measures to put down any riotous or unlawful assemblages; and if they find their power insufficient for tint purpose to call u;on the military in the manner pointed out by the statutes of the State, in order that the public or der may be preserved and the persons and prop erty of the citizens be fully protected. Horatio Sktmovr. An Abolition Derice. The New York Tribune of the 15th inst. copies from its new ally and abolition confrere in Cincinnatithe Catholic Telegraph a letter from Daniel O'Connell to some Irish Catholics in Cincinnati, in 1 e43. It was one of the mistakes of O'Connell or, ns an American gentlemau says w as avowed to him by O'Connell it was a policy be felt it proper to pursue in seeking bis imtnedi tite aims as to Ireland to join with the Aboli tionists of England Hnd of New England, in denunciation of African slavery. O'Connell never succeeded in doctriuating his countrymen, on either side ot the ocean, with the idea, und, as time has passed on, they have desired to drop tbe incident from the memory of their great countrymen. The m ignificent answer of llishop England, Itisb born and Irish bied.tn O'Connell's avowals of ato!itionim settled theque-tiou as to the argument, unit leJ't to the great agitator onlv the field he knew so well how to fill, of denunciation and declamatory assertion. Tlie letier to Iri.-h Catholics in Cincinnati, as an argument, is of no value. It is unkind to the great Irishman, now that he is at rest, to rake it up. But it is a part of the Puritan method, in this miserable war, to play the hyena, and to disturb tbe repose even of tbe dead. The letter in question errs in matters of fact and in matters of doctrine. "Y m say the Constitution in America prohibits the abolition of slavery. Paltry und miserable subterfuge! The Constitution in America is founded on the Declare t on of Independence." S wrote and erred O'Connell. The Decloration of Indepen deuce, ura ft ed in 1776, was the manifesto of col oiiies leagued togethtr for the common object of achieving the sovereign independence of each from tlie English Crown. The Constitution, drafted in 17r7, set forth the terms on which sovereign and independent States agreed to a Union of limited reach, and lor defined objects. In the latter document thete is the least allusion to the former. The Declaration was a popular address, the Constitution was au agreement on fundamental graut and guarantees of law. Mr O'Connell said in that letter: "We have indeed heaid it said that some C ithobc clergy men have slaves of their own; btjt.it is id led, and we are assured positively, that no ri.A Catholic clergmn is a slave owner." The Verv Rev. Edward Purcell rakes up and publishes the old letter, containing such assertions. l)td he not know that his own Mo-t Rev. brother. Arch bishop Purcell, an 'Irish Catholic clergy man," oiily a few w eeks before the date of this letter of O'Connell's. was a slaveholdet in Fiedeiiek county. Md. .and, mote thm that, tint shen he left Maryland for Oi io, he felt it in no wi-e in curnbent on his conscience either to manumit, or to take away from Maryland, the propettr in slaves which lie had held? Onlv ilie iilitutl simplicity ii nd good faith manifested by Father Edward Purcell. as editor of the Telegranh, can account for his publishing this rnis'nke of O'Con nell, without correcting it bv his own better inform tion. So much as to some of the errors as to m tters of fact. Mr. O'Connell in this letter denounces vith the vehemence of which he is so accomplished a mister, "the Irish by birth or by de-rent in America," as "perverted." deprived. " '-ouls become stained with a blackness d.uker than the uegroV r-kiu" "silly," "guilty'' "calumniators of the .iholiiioni-ts, Mc, etc. The vocabu! iry of abuse is 1 ire. and u-e I with a sw reping generally of application ig linst "the In-h in America." against whom !); quotes the testimony of thf .uii ible, populir. snobbish an-1 flippant Lntd M rfeth, who lud visited the Unite! Sntes a veir or two before, and, on rrturn-ng, had in the sicred preciriffs of Exeter Hall unsparingly de bounced the Irish in America, in tint assembly of the E;iglih siints. as "the worst enemies of neirro evi'lity " But tlie kev note of Mr. O'Coniif'd's- letter in ilenunct .tint- of his country men in America, on which he mkes most of his periods turn, i- their "mon-trous" as.ertion of a right ol property" i.i sl.ves Mr. O'Connell could ea-ilv tie excused for rni-undetstanding a system he had never seen, never become acquainted with the practical dilficulties surround :nct m out. as a lo-hly educated C itholie gentle j mm, he is not so easilv to be excused for writing j with dogmatic vehemence on a subject n w hich, j age after age. the Catholic Church ha legislated on which the great authorities of the Catholic Cnurch have writtten and defined and yet to ijnote the canons of the church that forbid stealing or seducing slaves away from their masters ! to ignore the tacts w ritten in the annals of human and of divine law that do recognize, aye, and establish the right of m in to property in man. Mr. O'Connell, in the autocratic spirit with which circura'tances put it in bis power to issue edicts for Irishmen from Conciliation Hill.savs: "We proclaim to the world our conviction that m constitutional law can create or sanction slavery " The Lord and Ruler of all, pronounced on the offspring of Cham that he should be a "ser Tsr.t of servants to his brethren." This was a "constitutional law, sanctioning and t&tablUhing slavery." God, who spoke to Noe, was inUllible. Mr. O'Connell takes the opposite side. In the Book of Josue, in the sacred Scriptures, it is written that Josue gave orders in regard to the Gabaonites of the posterity of Cham or! Ham that "you hall be under a cure. and your race shall always be hewers of wood and ! carriers of water." Th it was a "constitutional j law creating and sanctioning slavery." It was approved by God. It was by error that Mr. O'Connell denied its justice Mose, the divine lawgiver, had before this! e-tablished tbe right of propety in man Thoe of the race of Chanaan the Israelites might boil j in servitude forever. Even of their ownmce, i they might buy and sell under limitations. Nay, a "stranger" dwelling; among them might buy and bold a Hebrew man or woman as his slave. This was "constitutional law creating and sanctioning slavery." Mr. O'Connell erred in his denial of such a rfsrht. The Christian ages, from tbe days of the Apostles to this day. the unchanging, the un changeable doctrine of the Catholic Churrh. baa recognized slavery as a justifiable human arrange-

ment, bss "saoctjcnel" it, and forbids surreiti tious or violent inte-rerence with it. Tb; i the voice of tbe theologians of the great Catholic ; jurats nd rr.orlifsf age after ace. They agree, i a', with tbe great Doctor of the Church, tlie angif j

OI schools, St. Thomas Aquinas, who. In expoding the fentimenulism of Seneca, incorporate 1 through Ulpian into the Pandects, that "all men are by nature free," says, that "bv nature, may be understood in two ways; one. that nature de mands this or that the other, thai na lure does not provide otherwise. So. we may sy, that man i, by nature, naked, because nature does not provide clothing. In this sense, man is, by nature, free, for slavery (rrtitu$.) like separate possessions of other goods, is not trovided by nature, but by human reason, f..r the advantage of human ocietr. Summ't Thiol. 1 2 q zeie 5. in fin. We hsve quotations enough, to a like purpose, from the treat theologians and jurists of Chri-tendorn. all acreeing. to fill forty columns of our paper. 51'. O'CoMnell erred, blundered, in departing from tl e ' cotisen?uteoua teachings of Cstholi-doricr. t; c mp imMn' Lord M rp t ai d cot c lia e the n j cats and bigots of Exeter Hall. J It nas r.een an unkinJ thing, an urjustinab'e thins:, a foolish thing, to rake up a let'er that O'Cottnell's countrymen, as friends of his. suppressed because it was damaging to him. It Was aweik ietter, and its arrogance, in arraigning "Irishmen in America." is damaging to its author. He was a great man, greatly honored for what be did in his proper sphere in Ireland. Rut he had no note of infallibility about him. He had his errors. The amiable editor of the Telegraph might as well quote bis duel with an English blackguard, and his having met him on the field, in defense of duellirg, as to cite bis aberration from good sense, and from facts, and from the canona and teachings of the Catholic Church, as a plea for the accursed hereby ot Exeter Hall and New England aliolitiontstii It is weak, it is cowardly, it is bae in the Cincinnati Telegraph, after declining to dicuss with us the question of slavery in the light of the hitdory. and the teachings, nnd ttie laws of the Catholic Church, to be feebly engaged in bringing in the l ime, the halt and the blind, in the wa of arguments, to promote, indiieetly, what, if produced in the form of direct argument, would be reduced to silence. The editorial piety of the Telegraph ha long smacked of the theological heresies of Jansenism. The tortuous methods of its arguments stropofy remind us of the insincerities of Pachal and Iiis school ol whose morals the Te'eraph has been an abounding reciter. N. Y. Freeman's Journal. WANTED.
