WEEKLY SENTINEL.

At BUSIES 1 A V FEBBl AIIY .(, IMll A Candidate for Re-Election. Mr. Likoolx is very shrewdly putting forth his .me as the Republican candidate for 1Q64. At - eobenville he remarked : "If I adopt a wrong I 'liey, she opportunity to condemn it would occur hi foot years. Then I can be turned out, and a tter man . with better views, be out in nv place Ltwooui says be intends to follow in the footsteps : of Wamisotos, Madmox and Jirrrnsox. and asm of them serv ed two terms. "Honest Old 1 Aw" is evidently looking ahead. Holding Mia Tongue. The President elect, in his peri grin ?itions rough the country, is attempting the task of unifying the slang phrases of the day A" ! ttobursh he remarked in his address tint thid tdoptel the plan of holding his ton-tie for mod; part, during the last canvass air. ince s election, he had, perhaps, better now hold his ngue." Is not that an e'.egant expression for e man who is to occupy the place that was .Tured by Washixutos, Jirransox and Mart - 13? How would such a phrase have sounded m their lips? Before "Honest Old Abe" tches Washington we think the discreet portion the Republican party rill wish that he had en discreet enough to have held his tongue. oHsyal Snobbery." Our long friend, Sot. Mnnnrrn, is a shrewd ditician. He understands how to "work the pes." Whilst our other politicians were but n holing old Abi, who do not now recollect itom of what they said, Sol. quietly "fastened" to Bos," and has thus secured a "friend at onrt." And besides, ha he not secured the " oresai d Bob's eternal and undying gratitude by Utüy calling him the "Prince of Rails"? Face us Mr. Mkxxditb! Thct was a master stroke : genius' Thou art, indeed, a "fellow of in aite je and of most excellent fancy," whose itticisms would "set the table on a roar." The Prince of Rails." How vary witty. Dax 1- irrt himself could nerer equal that! What Bee do you desire, Mr. Meredith? teercien-What Does it "1 nn ? The meaning of the word "coercion" seems pntzle Mr. Lixcols amazingly, but it is a mys ry a h eh he does not appear anxious to unravel e is evidently willing it should remain in doubt is speculations upon the subject will not be sturbed unless he should attempt to "coerce" : te dogmas of the Chicago platform upon the c uu try , and then, we think, like St. Paul, he ill t: ni it hard to kick against the pricks. The enforcement of the laws" is one thing, and the ;nforoiment," or "coercion" of Republican -inciples or theories is another affair entirely. V "e hope Mr. Lincoln and the Republican party will not fail to remember and recognize the dis 'motion. While it may be treason to resist the v ' institution and the laws, it is not yet, we hope, penal offense to "spit upon" the Chicago plat torn. Mr. Lixcolx does not feel himself called upon . i define his position. No other citizen is under -ny greater obi i eat ion, yet we cannot refrain from .quiring whether any loyal citizen is any more . und to render obeisance to the Chicago plat rm. than were the faithful Israelites to worship ie "golden calf V Mr. Lincoln seems to be voder the impression that Republicanism is a law . gher than the Constitution the Democracy eve that the Constitution is yet the highest I .w of tlie land. That is the difference just now tween Republicans and Democrats and the cons Tvatiye citizens of the United States are not yet I repared to go with Mr. Lixcolx in coerciup :i;lc- and policy to which a large majority ind opposed. That kind of coercion will find i army of resistant all over the country. A -1 e;' 1 :ir Cry-!. Our Republican friends are wonderfully sympa .et:c people ; wherever the homely face of old be shows itself, they immediately melt in: I art'. From Springfield to Columbus, Ohio, ere ha a been regular boo-booing on the purl .' the colored Republicans, which, we suppose, ill be kept up until he reiche Washington. A riiigfield the telegraph informs us that "the rowd was affected to tears." In this city the -Tying cene was confined to Mr. Lincoln's room . J Cincinnati the Gazette telU us that twenty or ilrty li:tle girls sang the "Star Spangled Bin . er," rd that "ono of the little girls was takeu . the arms of I brawny German and carriel to .e carriage, when she modestly handed Mr Uscoln a single flower, and he in return stoope i nd k:sed the child. The incident, so touching nd beautiful, filled every eye with te irs. and the Tect w8 not lost on the hearts of any." At omnibus we are informed that a "large German, tting on a huge beer barrel, with a glass ot .ger in his hand, thus addressed the President '.ect: 'Got be mit you ; enforce tbe laws and ut our country. Here's your health:'" Mr. Lrwoouf smile 1 his -blandest smile. At this dec ling scene the whole audience buret into .ears. We are beginning to think that old Abe is eallj a wonderful man. The poets tell us that tliere are several kinds of teen tears of grief, of latr. of joy, of vengeance, of love, of terror, of right, tears sympathetic, pathetic, and compas--ionate. and crocodile tears, and we are at a loss .nder which head to class the tears that old Abe raws from the "peepers" of the Republicans Ve are inclined to think that it is a new kind that the "poets never dreamed of in their pbilosphy." We have a sort of a notion that our Reubli -an friends hare hit upon the expedient of ryin,' themselves into office, and that this i- the romised reform they intend introducing. It does .way with all the trickery usually practicel ic e.Mig up recommendations, letters and petitions; : kn cks on the bead the disreputable system of -ire-rulling, chicanery, and deception! The greatest blubber takes the prize! Imagine the whole army of oftice seekers from Indiana ranged la line in the White House, and old Abe pathetically addressing them thus: My friends, "if ye hare tears to shed, prepare to shed them now." Such a' scene, "so touching and beautiful," we hare no doubt, "would fill every eye with tears, and the effect would not be lost on any"! We can almost hear the pathetic appeal of some worsted Rich m An onion! aa onion! My only hone n in an onion! r aiting; far tlie Fart. As Mr. Lincoln approaches Washington he is evidently more and more impressed with his ignorance of governmental affairs, especially those questions whicu just now occupy the attention of .he country. He opened the ball here by asking juesticns, which, he said, he desired the people to think about. If he had had settled convictions and purposes, ia it probable that he would have hus expressed himself? And he has made but ittle improvement in that regard in his sub-e-uent jddresaes. At Pittsburgh he spoke more at iength than he hid previously, yet without developing any well-considered views upon the topics iie allude i to. He said tbe political condition of the country "fills thc mind of every patriot with (olicitude," and that he intended to give the subeet all the consideration which he possibly could efore be should speak definitely in regard to it. vnd then he proceeded to say that he should not vay anything which should disappoint the exped itions based upon what he had heretofore s od. tad that there ia no real crwis except an artificial ne. Now what opinions are we to gather from 'diese expressions? What has Mr. Lincoln hereofore wid? We will make one quotation from what he )uu said, and bv it teU his de l.ratin.. .f Pirf hur -Ii The relation of master and slave is. pro tanto, Mml violation of thü principle, (tlie equality efercod to in the Declaration of In tependeace. ) The irkir not only governs the glare without hw c msent. but he governs him bv a set of rules altogether different from those which he precribei for himself.

upon the declaration he made in the foregoing paragraph? Mr Liscols's speech bore gavs the im:iressbu th.it he was for ' coercion." Djes be

i mean that he will disappoint the expectations which were based upon what he then said? Mr. Luoaw also discussed the urdT question and confessed bis ignorance of a subject which every American statesman should umlernt ind. He informs u that he will give the suhje?t Iii. earnest consideration, .md a. 1 vises the pople to do the same. lie lias the impression that so long as we depend upon impost duties for revenue to support the Government that we must ti ive some , sort of a tariff, that it is as necessary to it as corn meal to a family, and he has learned thai if it co?ts tl stiue to get a bir of iron out ot the mines of Pennsylvania and thase of England, the j carriage of it to either country is therefore a dead loss! Such are the profound views of the statesman (".') whom the Republican j have called to adm.n:-!er a greit Cv eminent. Can Abe is honest in one respect i ... n. ii n i : I lie conie-scs his ignorance "iuur inv.iou can friends be equally honest in admitting t!s if they have placed the Government in the hands of i in in who has yet to learn the usksoipleiin political e-onomy. which every intelligent citizen should understand? Inste id of having a man of wisdom and experience at the head of the nation, we have a novice a mere tyro in 3tatein mship. And Mr. Lincoln goes joking through the country as though ignorance was bliss. Is not the fact that we are soon to inaugurate such a President enough to fill the mind of every patriot with so'i'. itmle. We call the attention of the re uler to a report uf Mr. Lincoln's speech at Pittsburgh, which will be found in the telegraphic columns. me Convention ot tue Twenty -vor ond It is to bo rejretteil that the gentlemen who proposed the convention for the twenty-.-e nd (Friday of thin week.) ilid not give a longer and J more general notice; but we hope, notwithstand tug the short call, it will be numerously attended. It is not called as a party convention, but all the citizens of the State are invited to be present, "who love the Union more than any mere pasty platforms," and who are willing to m ike an effort to preserve it by any fair and honorable adjust roeiit ofthe political difficulties which have caused the present alienation of feeling between the different sections of the country. The call is numerously signed by memders of all partie- Republicans, the supporters of Bf.ll and Evlkett, and Democrats. Wc hope all who desire that the voice of Indiana should he properly e; re--e l n the present exigency of public affairs that the ioyal spirit and conservative sentiment which has ever animated the people ol this State, should be heard, and come up on th it occasion, nnd, in the language of the call, "adopt such measures :is may be best calculated to prevent civil war and preserve the Union." There is no time o he ost, if it is an object and it is our purpose to restore harmony to the country. To-day, the President and Vice President of the Southern Confederacy are to be inaugurate 1, and an eih ?'ent Government will be in operation by the time Mr. Lincoln U inducted iuto often. The border States are only betel in the Union by the hoie that some meas ires may be adopted which will secure the rights they claim unier the Constitution. If they are denied by the dominant party ofthe North, and the representative ofthat party pronounces the sectional coutrover.-y which is rapidly culminating in disunion as only an "artificial crisis," whTit forshaJows n refusal of com promise, the fifteen Southern State-" will be a unit in supporting the new confederacy. In that event the issue will be peiceful separation or civil war, nd it is import i nt that the influence of Indiana should be exerted to prevent a greater calamity inn disunion. In the pre-ent crisis of public affairs we consider it of the highest importance that the people of Indiana, uninfluenced by parti an prejudices or sympathy, should as.-embie in council nnd decide upon the position they shall as.-ume. Let the people of the country. North and South, adopt the advice of Mr. Lrxeoix by exerting the'r Kwer to settle the difficulty. They have but to speik and it will be done. If the spirit which ... 1 1 1 " o - the Union men of the North an 1 the Union men of the South was fairly re:h'-tel in .iie conn ji!s o; the n i'.ion, the pre-ent d.tleieiice-", viiicii seem like an impassable gulf, would soon oe brushed aw ay us cobwebs and .that fraternal eeiing once more restored which h:.s ?n i!c us a unite lfh ipvy and prosperous nation. Let tne .ojile ot Indiana asyemWe in convention then, lorgetful of tlie political sentiments which have heretofore divided them, and so far as they arc c .liceined and their voice con be heard, nid in bringing about that happy result. Prevent civil war and preserv e the I'niou and our children's children will bles the pre-ent generation for perpetuating the government established by tlie j-at riotism and wisdom of our fathers. indicted. The Grand Jury of Campbell county. Ken tucky, on Friday last reported indictments against G. C. Moodt for challenging to fight a duel ; Hon ace Heferen for accepting a challenge ; J. C. Walker for consenting to act as second, and Geo. P. Be ell, for carrying challenge for duel There the matter will probably end, lor we have no idea th.it the authorities of Kentucky will pursue the matter further. We think it will be wie on the part of our 1 Legislature to drop the subject. Neither branch sIid".!'I ;is-uinc judicial jurisdiction. There is no evideuce that either Messrs. Hlffri n or Moody have committed any act against the pc ice and dignity of the Sute. Kentucky may have cause of complaint, but Indiana certainly h is none. The Constitution of Indiana, as yi. does not extend over Ohio and Kentucky, although we can not fortell what may happen under the reign of our military Governor. The Constitution and statutes of Illinois are more stringent against duelling than those of our own State. All persons who have been in anywise engaie 1 in a duel, or concerned in accepting or sending a challenge, are prohibited from holding any office of trust or honor. The late Governor Bissi t ot that State was once engaged in an affair of honor, but outside of its lorders. The issue entered into the canvass, but he was elected Governor by the Republicans he subscribed to the Constitution and served as the Executive of the S ,t. until he died. It wasdecide l that he had violate 1 no provision of the Constitution, or laws of his State. The same principle will upplv in the cte of HtFntEN' and Moody. We have a provision in our Constitution which says: Neither the Governor nor Lieutenant Governor shall le eligible to any other office, during the term for which he sbill have been elected. Notwithstanding this Constitutional declaration of ineligibility to hold any other office, the Republicans ofthe present Legislature elected Governor Lane Senator, another of'.ice. Wh it .., ,1 ogy have they for thus violating tlie plain provisions of the Constitution? Their excuse wo believe is that tbe jurisdiction of the S. ate d es not extend to Fe lcr.il officers, and that it is circumscribed in that regard by its geographical limits. Is not tlie Legislature equally culpable for viola ting the Constitution in the election of Lane, as Messrs. Ueffeln and Moody for going to Ken tucky to settle . difficulty amic ibly V Tiiere is no evidence, nor can any be found that they committed any oflencc ia Indiana. Will it not be a stretch of wer, an act of petty despotism, if the House under the eircuin-tan - sh u i ex; I them? We think the members i inle in irei rofitib'v engage I in confining their attention to legislation and let the constituents of Mc-sr. Heffken and Moody attend to their cafres. I Indiuna Appointment.

More About that Speer h. The New York Tribune of the l2th has a full report of Mr. Lincoln's Indianapolis speech, which is introduced with flaming he id lines, announcing "The Revenue- to be Collected" "The Forts, to be Retaken," &c. But the most important fact announced by the Truiunt is, that the spee.h "was carefully prepared in Springfield, and brought here Indianapolis in m inascript." If such be the fact, it gives the speech of Mr. Lincoln here more significance than if it had been an ixtrmporQ effort. We are inclined to the opinion that the speech was prepared in advance as the spoken speech and the revised speech as it ap etred in the Journal were not alike. Old Abe then, up to this point, was for war. He m ay gei wiser when he reiche the end of his journey.

This is thus dc-crihed : " M aiv rushel to the coach sad graspe I Mr Lincoln's hands with cor dial favor, en h salute being received by him with a sweeping bov compiehending the multitude." The correspondent can make an "ever'asting fortune" by coming to th!.- city and opening a bowing school, so that our Republican friends can be taught how to "make a sweeping bow comprehending the multitude."

One promintnt Republican piper seems to hive got more than it bargaine 1 for when it went into the Republican organization. The New York Esenin;f Post scolds terribly about "Morrill's abominable tariff bill," which has passed the Hanse and w hich thc Republicans of t ie Sen ite are putting through thai b ly under whip and spur. It is an "abominable tariff,-' meat cer tiiuly. but it is Republican fruit. Instead of any comment of our own upon it, we subjoin a few of the I'oKt's comments: BlankeLs valued at not over seventy -five cents etch, and of the dimensions not less that seventy two by fifty two inclie. were charged with a duty often cents each in the Morrill tariff bill as it was reported, to the Senate. This bill has been modified, as appears by the amended bill now before that body on its pa-age, so a- to re id as follows: Blankets (as alniv e describe I) a duty of six cents tier pound, and in addition thereto ten per cent. ad ralorrm. If this is a re luction in the burthen imposed upon an article so essential to the comfort and health of every working m in in the community . we confess we are unable to discover it. It was bad enough as it stood; as it now re ids, it amounts to an erTe-tu.il prohibition ofthe im;ort ition of titele articles, for the duty to be lev ied is e ua! to the cost. On the other h ad, the finer kinds of blankets are to be admitted at a reduction from sixteen cents per pound, as charged in the Morrill tariff.

to twelve cents as amended, with the additional burthen uf lift ecu per cent, ad talnritn. This s a discrimination in favor of the rich against the poor, which is, w e regret to say, characteristic of the whole of this ubj actionable meisure. Cotton prints rem on charged w ith a double duty, varying from one to lour cents tersqmie yard, with tea per cent, ad ralonm, which again wdli be tr most lieivily upon such articles as are in common use and worn bv the wives and daughters of our farmers and mechanics throughout the whole country. The minimum duty on steel is fixed at twenty per cent, ad ta'onm, and, from the ingenious m inner iu which this schedule is framed, the tux, which under the tarilf of IBS) was consideedl ample for all purposes at twelve per cent , wril be incre ised in some instances to forty percent. ad valorem. Neirlv all articles necessary for tbe equip meiit of our mercantile marine all article; which form the bulky bills ot the ship-chandler seem to have been especially se'ected for additional burthens. This is the roost unfavorable time that eoeld have been selected tor the imposition ot any additional tax upon these articles, for our shipowners and merchants are not in a position now to submit to them without a murmur. Indeed, no meisure coulo be better adapted for the purpose of arresting and retarding the growth of our commercial m trine, even if it were the design of tlie fr imers of this bill to cripple it in its depressed p. e eut condition. This bill, then, if it become; I law, will undoubtedly h ive the ellect to diminish the revenue, to embarrass and injure domestic industry, and to
