As this is the last issue of the Sentinel
under our auspices, we again, aod for the :
last time, call npon all delinquents to call
and settle immediately. We have waited
on many of them long and patiently. We
are notr going into a new business and
need all our money. We have almost a
thousand dollars of unpaid subscript:3us
standing out on bur books. Since tb? first
of January, 1864, the cash receipts of
iliiu osuce care nor overrun tne expenses
more than about 8500. Out of this small
sum we have had ft pay our house rent
and treep oar family for on year and
three-foertbs, or twenty-one t mooths.-a-There
could be money made in this office
if all would pay dp pro'nijtly. SorifS do
so but not all we have now 175 men who
are paid in advance of this date. We
have made out our ouJstafidii'g ' ccouti'ts
and wikh them settled immediately. On
this extra half Mieet which we publish this
ifeek tJiose of our subscribers will Ji,id
tht amount of their lilh due tea up to date
vritten immediately before their name
at the head of the paper those who are
square on the books will have nothing
written, likewise those with whom we
have unsettled account and tiote uh
have jmut iu advance will find the same
to llieir credit written immediately AFTEB 1
fAeir names at the head of thj peper,
which amount we will 6nd over to eur
successor woo will fulfil our contract , by
furnishing papers to that amount. ' ff we
hae "Bade any miaukes let them je" cor
rected note.
We expect to rsmova from this
in about two weeks sad in order to $ate
trouble to loth parties, deairs all these
accounts tcttled beore tee go. All our
prontg; and much more, are standing out
on our books-sunless we get this money
we cannot make both ends meet. Dear
friers and patrons, we need our money
to ray oor debts, lor we desire t i;.. k.
estly before all men. Our last reqoest to

, Although we regret tbe defeat of our
cennty ticket, yet we diust rejeiee in the
result. . The majorities have been greatly
reduced. "We have gained 139 on the
vote for I'ongrers last year and 93 on the
vote for President lt year. The result
will probably in a little' affected by the
army vote yet this year. The vote for
Mr. Belford is flattering ts .hluiielf and
gratifying to his friCnua. Had the Re
publicans stcck to him, the majority
against him '$ouli have been little or
nothing. "But it always seams that when
we have a chance to elect any one oiif

Iford ran enoagh outside his party in
this borough to have given him 40 instead
of 12 majority. Another year our party
can eleot its eouaty tLket by the proper

In 1862, each party chose 12 Members
of Congress, but the Democrats carried
their State Officers ; Isase Sleeker tam
ing out Cochran, the Republican Auditor

In 1863, came the Governor's eleotion;

over Judge Woodward, (Detn.) by
15.32a. aaojdricy, ooWWawt vole aver
polled ia the State. Soldiers and others,
who esme from Washington and the teal
of war on purpose to vote, cast nearly or
quite all bis majority. The Legiilatgra
was bardy carried by our side.'
Ia 1861, at the State (October) Elec
tion, there were no State Offices to be filed
but Members of Congress were chosen ;
