VEEKLY SENTINEL MONDAY, - - KOV. 30. rnosi'ECTii OF THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, DAILY AM l WEEKLY, Por 1004. At no period In tbe history of the nation has it been more Important that the people should be advised of the principles upon which our Government 1 based and the bearing of passing events upon our polkal institutions. We are in the midst of a revolution, and the effort Is being made to overthrow the Government established by the wisdom, sagacity and patriotUm of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and their associate, and es?ablih In Iu stead a strong, overshadowing and ccnt-a'.ized despotism. State rights which have protected the liberty of the citizen, are to be strark down; State lines are to be obliterated and the Federal Government is to usurp tbe control and direction of the domestic policy and institutions ot the Slates. This is the policy of the Administration party. Its leading members boldly proclaim It, and the events which have transpired since the advent of the present Administration into power clearly foreshadow hat sucb ia iu purpc-e. Such U the lsue presented to the American people. It la for them to illustrate tbe capacity or man for selfgovernment, by Insisting on a government or tbe people. Just as our forefathers did, in opposition to an aristocratic, arbitrary and kingly power. So long have we prospered and enjoyed tbe blessings of civil and religions freedom, that we fail to appreciate their value and have almost forgotten the sacrifices by which they were achieved. Power ia ever stealing from tbe many to tbe
few, and unless the people boldly and manfully meet the present crisis ere long the government of the many will become the government of the few, and instead of being tbe aytam tor the oppressed it all nations, our own will become as oppressive with its ordrs and burdens as the most despotic. The ScxTum. will continue to advocate old fashioned Democratic doctrines, believing firmly that the only hope of preserving Republican institutions rete en their supremacy in tbe administration of the government. These ductrinea are clearly and comprehensively set forth in the following pisiform prepared by Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party : Equal an 1 exact Justice to all men, of whatever sUte or persuasion religious or political ; Peace, commerce, and boneat friendship with all nations, entangling alliance with none ; The support of the State Governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies. Tne preservation or the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor or our peace at home and safety abroad ; A jeelom care of the right of election by the people ; A nuld and aafe corrective or abuses which are lopped by the sword or revolution, where peaceful remedies are unprovided. Absolute acquiescence In the will of the majority, the vital principle of republic, from which there is no appeal but to force tbe vital principle and immediate parent of despotism ; A well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace, and for the first momeuta if war, till regulars may relieve them. Tbe supremacy of the civil over tbe military authority. fcooomy iu the public expenses, that labor may be lightly burdened; The boneat payments of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith; handmaid. lie diffusion of information, and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason; Freedom of religion; Freedom of the pre; And freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus And trial by juries impartially selected. This hi a platform upon which every Democrat and every citüen can stand, and if a free government the Constitution and Union as framed by tbe founders or tbe Republic is preserved, it will only be by the snccefsful ascendency of thoe principle in its administration. If they are maintained the voice of tbe people win control in public affairs, and the blessings of civil liberty will be preserved and perpetuated. It ia a time the people should read. The whole world ia in commotion, and revolutiors threaten othei nations as well as our own Tbe SrrrrsiL will give a summary of all general newa, and it will be the aim or the publisher! to make it a valuable and interesting newspaper In every department. It will pay special a ttention to Bute affairs, and, as the central organ or the Democratic party of Indiana, will use every effort te sustain its principles, its policy and its representative men. It will not be an instrument te advance tbe telflsh interest of cliques, factions or individuals. In no way can sound principles be better disseminated than through the agency of Democratic newspapers and Democratic documents. And Democrats cannot better serve their cao'x than by placing a Democratic newspaper in the hands of every family in the State. The prejudices of our political opponents would soon give way If they were enlightened as to the doctrines and purpose of the Democratic party. notwithstanding the large increase of the expenses at tending the publication of newspapers, the terms of the rVcrruaj. will be the same as heretofore, and at we have no paid agents, we shall rely upon friends to atf in ex tending it circulation. And the larger the circulation. the greater will be tbe ability of the proprietors to in crease the valne and interest of the paper. OCaK TERV3 OF THE DAILT SENT15EL.

A Trick and an Oalrate. Judge Dai vmosd, of the United Bute Circuit Court, at Chicago, in the matter of an application of a minor for writ of habeas eorpua to procure bis diacharge from the military service, which came before him a few days ago, refused to grant the writ on two ground FirtThat ai.der the law of Congress of 1662. special provision is made that the oath of a minor enlisting into the service, wherein he wears lo hi majority, shall be a binding as though he were f age; and Second On the ground that the proclamation of the President suspending the writ of habeas corpus fn och a case bad superseded his judicial function. He characterized the law of Congress and the proclamation as a "trick and an outrage which not only destroyed the liberty ol the subject, but prohibited the right of a parent to the cuetodv of hi child.". Judge Drcmmosd i a Republican, but will not crmge at tbe feet of power. All will remember bia manly course in reference to the suppression of the Cbieago Times.

The Administration Polier Tonard the IScbel States. - We find" the following io the Delaware Coutitv Free Press, a Kepublicaa print: "Hon. Geo. W. Julian spoke at the Court House last Thursd-tr evening. He haJ a gol audience, and was listened to with attention, lie dircusej the policy of dealing with the rebel State?, alter the rebellion shall have been crushed, with ability and force. He insisted that the only plan bj which permanent peace cau be restored, ia to reduce tbe rebellious States to a territorial condition, and place them under the control of Congress until they become populated with a loyal people and fit to be admitted into the Cniou upon an equality with other State." Thexe few wordj Jevelop the polier of the Administration. The idei tint States can We obliterated and reduced to a territorial condition, subject to the will of a dominant Trty in Congress, U a iict interpretilion of the Constitution. The President and Congress both o!emnly"t3e. dared that they had no right or desire to interfere with tht domestic institutions of the State, that there was do intention of conquest, but the wnr was to be prosecuted for the single purpose of enforcing the national authority over a rebellious people. But this is no longer declared to be the purpose of the wnr. Now it Is avowed by the Administration party, that the rebellious States are to be reduced to a territorial conditioo and plaeed under the control of Congress. We should at least be consistent in the prosecution of the war, or the purposes to be accomplished by it. The argument ha been that no State had the right of seceding from the Union. If such be the ease, where is the power to force any Statte to change its relation to the government? Can we deny the right of secession and then legislate a State out of the Union ? If a iute cannot dissever it connection with tbe Union by it own act, is not the party in power waging a war to establish the right of secession by reducing a State to a territorial condition T If this doctrine be admitted it will be a concession that the Federal Government ha the power to reduce any State to a territorial condition at it pleasure. Such untenable position cannot but have the effect to prolong the war indefinitely, unless the people are willing to sacrifice their indendence to a central despotism.
A Contrast. We publish in to-day's issue an article frm en English piper on the elections in Prussia. There was an issue between the people and tbe crown, and it appears that the formerstood up boldly, fearlessly and successfully for their rights. This is a leasson for the people of the United States. If they had stood np as msnfully in vindication of correct principles and polic? the party in power would have made no encroachincuts upon popular rights and there would have been no exercise of nrbitrary power. The people in this country hnve yielded to the domination of their rulers, while the people of Prussia have resolutely opposed the usurpation ol their King. Seward vs. Seward.

Just look at Saward then and Seward now: scwako TUM. SB WARD NOW. In this country, especially.

No existing, as distinct and sep- man can serve two masters, arate from tbe Government ile!f, and to cacvass the: proceedings of the wie without the thought of disloyalty to the other.

Burglars are at work in Peru. An old citi zen was knocked down and robbed near the most populous part of the town, and a jewelry store was entered and some $300 of ware taken.

Good thing. Tbe Plymouth Democrat, the Miami Conn ty sentinel and Huntington Democrat suggest the name of Cd. L. P. MiLLioax.of Huntington, a the next Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana.

The Next Governor. We notice that Hon. Joseph . McDonald, who has been urjred to be come a candidate for the nomination of Governor at the ih of January Convention, has perempto rily declined. Now our choice first, list and all the time, for this office i tbe Ho'i. David Turpie, of White County. He is without doubt, the ablest field orator and most succeatn! politician iu Indiana. When he w-s a member of the Legislature, and when barely of age, he almost literally skinned several of the opposition, and salted their bides down. Does J. W. Gordon remember? It was David Turpie who made the gallant fiiit for Lieut. Governor in leOO, against O. P. Morton, and was more than a match for him ! It was David Turp:e who almost floored Schuyler Colfax of the &ih Concessional District in the memorable canvass of 1862, reducing Col fax's previous majority of 3.5U0 to the respecta b!e majority of 225. It was David Turpie who was, last winter .honored bv the Legislature with a seat in the U. S. Senate lor the short term, and now it is meet that the Democracy should make this young giant of the West the next Governor of Iudt ana.

Several of those who have been in the field with pick, pati and shovel already count up large gains.

The supply of currency has been better, and the demand for money but moderate; tbe market has been rather easy, that i it has been ensier to borrow than it was the previous week, at 8 to 10 per cent., outside the banks, and the regular bauks have beeu able to supply their customer better at 6 per cent., tbe standard rate. Gold advanced 7 per cent., but 5 perceutof this was lost, so that the net advance at the close whs but 2 per cent. There have been various rumors circulated to which this advance i attrl buted, but tht inactivity of tht two leading armies of the Government, is the great moving power which put gold up, no doubt.

A large country demand bits existed lor drv eoods. firoceries. hardware, and all other kinds of manufactured goods. It is clear that the general commerce of the city was never in a more prosperous condition tbau at this time, if ever as much so. The rise iu the river ha furnished fuel to all tbe factories, which relieves the manufacturing interist of serious threatened embarrassment, aud the popu lation of the city at large of a great threatened calamity. A buovaut and rather excited market for bogs ias prevailed, with but little exception, during the week, though the receipts have been more liberal, and a usual number were driveo in, but the supply seemed unequal to the demand. The weither has not been favorable, some of tbe days being mild and tuurky, and this was especially he case yesterday. The tdiort cnD opinion has taken a general bold upon tbe minds of all those engaged in pack ug, und most of them seem to operate without anv tear or misgiving, l Here ha oeen a local peculative demand for the product, which en courages the packers. As we have before stated in a previous impres sion, the average weight aud yield of lard is much better than had been expected; the average weight is hardly six per ceut. below that of last season, and the yield of lard not two pounds per log, though at present tins canuot be ascertained with a sufficient degree of accuracy. It may be Uied, however, that the condition of the bogs brought in so far is better than at this lime tact year. A large number ol very ugnt nogs were brought in the forepart of last season. Tbe cars which had beeu used by the city in the transpor ation ot coal, were given up about the middle of be week, and nre now being used in the trans porution of hogs The high prices will, beyond doubt, encour age t artners to teeu a lew more hos than tnev would have done, and should this result in an ad ditional one for each (aimer, the number iu the aggregate would be large. esterdav the weather was warm aud damp. with light rain, the thermometer up to 65 deg. This caused the market to epen flit, and the re ceipts being larger than any previous day during the season, packers did not seem anxious to buy, but drovers were Si m, though rather inactive, the market closed firm at MonJav's prices.

There has been a good demand for the hog product, and a lar"e amount of new mess pork sold at $18, aud U lard at 1212lc, and one sale was made at 12?gC, and head aud gut lard at I1M1IV.C; green bams at b to eic, and shoulders at 5tCc. In old bulk meat and bacon there has been quite a large business done, chiefly iu connection ith the Government demand, and the sale made to the Commissariat indicate the market in that line. Old bulk shoulders sold at 5Uo to dealers; smoked do. at 6 to 6'c loose, and 6ljC packe t. O d lard is held at 11 tjc, bnt we heard of no sales.

We may say here, in brief, that aside from the demand tor annv use, the legitimate de mand is very tnümic, and but little faith exist in the consuming districts at present prices. Hour advanced fullv 50c per barrel during the week, with a fair though not active demand, and the market closed dull under the news from New Tork. Corn and oats are higher, and both have been in active demand. Wheat rather heavv, bnt toward the close a speculative demand arose, based upon the high price of corn, the impression being that wheat will be used by distillers largely, incase corn re main up.

But those two short years have desolated many, many happy homes, made many sorrowful widows, und bereaved mauy innocent little babes of a kind father ood protector.

From them it will be seen that it is as profitable as patriotic to enter the army under the call lately made for 300,000 volunteers. Suppose the war last three years, a recruit will get $24 43 per month, witb rations and all necessary medical attendance. If tht war lasts only one year, he will receive $73 15 per month; and if it should close in thrt months be would receive $165 95 per month. Veterans will receive under tbt same contingencies, $27 66 $33, and $175 95 per month. Thus it will bt seen that the inducements to volunteers art great. t?f8t Paul ha voted a bonus of $250,000 to the Lake Superior and Mississippi railroad, upon the completion of a railroad from St. Paul to Lake Superior, by tht most direct route, within five years tht work to be commenced next July, and twenty rolle to b Loilt In tu jun. -

L'icape C Jahn Morgan Columbus, 0., Nov. 2d. John Morgan and six of his officers, Ca pt airs Bennett, Taylor, Sheldon, II a in es, Hockersmith and Magee, es caped from tbe penitentiary this morning before daylight, by digging through tht floor of their cell to the sewer lending to tht river. A rewaid of $1.000 bas been offered for the apprehension of Morgan. From Wasnlngton. Washisgtos, November 23. No intelligence from the Army of tht Potomac bas been received to-day at Headquarters np to 2 P. M. The Star siys tht yesterday our cavalry pushed forward as far as Locust Grove, where they met the advance of the rebel cvalry and the latter were driven tcross Russell Creek, and afterwards acros Mill Run A body of rebel in fatitiy was posted between that point and Oranae Court House. The whole retel force moved off in the direction of the latter place Locust Grove is four miles south of Germania Ford in Orange County, and wit'rin a short distance of the wilderness where Hooker fought bis battle. Mdl Run ia 2 miles from Locust Grove, and thenre to Mountain river where the rebel General Early, with well's corpn, is said to be in force. Orange Court Hou?e is 8 or 10 miles further on iu a south west direction. The Commissioner 6f Internal Revenue bas concluded to recommend in his report to the Sec retary of the Treasury a large increase in the excise tax on distilled spirits. The present Ux being considered absurdly low, as compared with that levied upon other goods. While in England it yields 20 per cent, and upwards of the gross renenue of that country, here it yields less than 10 per cent. A it is deemed necessary to m crease taxation to make the law meet the exoec tation ot Congress, there is no article on which can be better levied than on this, therefore the Commissioner will ask the tax to be increased to 50 or 60, probably tbe latter. WASHisgtox, November 29. Tbe Army of tht Potomac advauced at 6 o clock on the morning of the 27th from near Culpepper, Germania and Jacobs' Fords and formed in line of battle, the center resting on tbe Fredericksburg turn pike near Robertson' Tavern; the left advanced along a plank road aud formed a curve toward Gordonsvillc nrtd the west, terminating near the Kapidan, southwest of Jacobs ford As the center advanced it came uoon 4,he ene my's pickets and subsequently upon the skirmish line The enemy' line was strengthened by the ar rival of reinforcemeut from E well's corns on the Rrpidan front. About 1 o'clock, a flow nod irregular cannon ading commenced on the road leading toward Orange C. II , and also considerable firing be tween the skirmishers occuned. The enemy does not replv with nrtillerv. At four o'clock it was announced that Hill' corps, which had retreated on the Rapidan, west of the railroad, waa approaching in the center. Heavy musketry was heard in the night, showing that the 3d corns, forming that wing, was en gaged. Our casualties were but few in the center. The only officers of rank at that time known to be killed is Lieut. Col. Hesser. of the72d Fen n-yl vim ia. The battle ground is in the wilderness with but litt'e open country. An accurate description of our position cannot be given, but it will be perceived that we have the enemy s fortified position on the hights skirting the Rapidan on the right.and can comfcl them to give battle if they intend to ngbt, upon ground less unfavorable to us. JefT. Davis, owing to the unfavorable weather a vrr a . oi w eunesüii v, na not review tne rebel annv, as be intended, and prisoners say that be bas re turned to Richmond. f Gen. Greß'a cavalry and artillery had a severe fight with the eneir . on Thursday, and drove tbeni back on the' infantry line, when we were compelled to fall l.tck, with the loss, it is said, of 250 killed.
