Death of William H McCleery, Esq The death of Mr. McCleery, wbkh occurred on the 16th net,, though not an unexpected event, cast an unusual gloom over our citizen. Mr. McCleery was a young man of many excellent traits of character, and bin death,

unler any circumstances, would have been deeply deplored, but under the peculiarly painful circumstances attending it, it ia one of the most saddening events which we have had to record for years. Our acquaintance with the deceased begin in childhood. We knew him well and loved him much in our school

boy days. He was a pleasant school -mal, and a youth of promise. Inheriting many of the business traits of hie excellent father, he early obtained a good business education, and prom ised to be be a useful man. But be wae betet by temptation, and in an evil hour contracted a love for intoxicating liquors, which grew upon him, rapidly blasting the early buds of promise, and hastening him to an untimely grave. We need not dwell on the sad details of his life. If ke had an open enemy, we never knew it. If there was an acquaintance who did not love him, even when dissipation had destroved him, se have not heard of it. sf Always kind, always gentlemanly, always ready to do a favor, he coald but

be loved. He had enemies only in one class enemies among those who, for the sake of gain, were wilhng -nay sought to rob him at once of his money, his health, his business, hi reputation his character, his domestio and social happiness, and even of life itself robbers ten fold worse than the highwayman, who, in seeking to rob his victim, takes only his life and money, leaving bis reputation and character untouched. To ae, is is one of the best omens of the times that the anaihemaa of public opinion are no longer directed as formerly, against the unfortunate victims of intemperance, but wbre they justly belong, against the fiends who fatten upon the woes and miseries which ihev cause. Call them not

him through, we were much pleased with what we did hear. In a vary frank manner he assured his audience

1 that ike questions now before the peo

ple are new questions, who.Iy disconnected ith the settled; issues of the past, and consequently a man's political affinities heretofore had nothing to do with his action in the present canvass. This was said to "cajole" old line Whig, but it is true, nevertheless), and we hope every honest man will bear it in mind during the canvass, After a very high compliment of Henry Clay and the late Whig party, neither of whom differed of old. be said, very materially, from the old Democratic party, (albeit they were called traitors, and monarchies, and

fedrrali-'s. and blue lights, while liv

ing,) bi read, or purported lo read, a resolution, which, he said, bad been adopted at a meeting in Boston, but he neglected, purposely, to tell when or by whom, and then gave it "fits." It was e resolution denouncing the Constitution and the Union. Being anxious to know its paternity, we inquired of Dr. Berry, who said "he believed it had been adopted at a convention held by Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker and others, but composed chiefly of women and niggers." Be its paternity what it may. he han

dled it in a maate.ly manner, and con-'

tional equality of the States, Thai being very obscure the Richmond Anyuirrr explains it as follows: "We must in the Cincinnati platform repudiate Squatter Sovereignty, and expressly assert State equality.We muni declare that it ia the duly of the General Government to sec that no invidious or injurious distinctions are made between the people or properly of different sections in the Territories

We do not mean to dictate. It may be that the aaserlion in the ulattorm of ihe libNtract proposition of State equal itp may mfhee to carry along wiih il the consequences which we desire. But it i olten charged that the Kan aas-Ne braska bill contain the doctrine of Sualler Sovereignly, and thai Squatter Sovereignty is the moat effi

Northern Democrats have maintained this ground. Now, t At gun must be spiked. It must appear from our platform that we maintain practical State equality, and repudiate that con

struction of tho K-tnsas-Nebraska act winch would defeat it. Tho South niih demands equality of riht. The

more clearly it appear thatlhe North em Democracy is rendy to concede it to her, tho more certain i- our cmdidate of suceeas." And in another article upoa the same subject it says with equal emphasis: "The sovereignty of the people is a noble principle, and should command

better advantage, than by continued bolstering up of swindling wild cat Banks. The Sentinel should be the last paper to pick quarre's with its cotemporaries, unless upon reasonable grounds. It should on the contrary endeavor to conciliate, and harmonise all differ-

The President, in his Kansas Message, expressly says

"We ca not conceive how any doubt can arise ua to the full, perfect, unlimited and sovuieign power of the Federal Government over the Territory of Kansas, as the agent or trustee of the existing States.

A Telegraphic dispatch ia the Columbian of yesterday, orefly informed our readers of the capture and detention of Gen Robinson, the Free State Governor of Kansaa, while he waa descending the Missouri river, in company with his lady, and waa on his way to Washington. The capture was made on the charge that he was fleeing from Kansaa to escape from an indictment for high treason, which has been found against him, aa well aa other Free State men, for refusing to recognise

ihe law and officers of what they term "ihe bogus Legielaturc." Robinson, at the latest accounts, still remained a prisoner at Lexington.
