From The Roclesi, Daily Advertiser.
A gentleman who has Just returned from the

should It not be evacuated before, as IS advised
by prominent gentlemen on the frontier. II is
thought that great change has taken place on
The frontier with regard to the proprcty Of the
longer occupancy THE island BY the pntrlots.
We think il high time that they should leave
the Island and throw themselves upon the mag
naumty Of their brethren on he Canada shore,
for the purpose Of ascerlalnng whether they will
sustain them If the Patriots on the main shore
will not support them, as is the opllIon Of many
then they have already occupied the Island too
long. Some decided steps should be taken.

DEGESERAcY.-Wc were amused with re-

ocra few days since, that the Democrats who
are IN favor Of the "diyorce Of Bank and State"
are not o. use, and hare gone out from us!"--

mark, that the Conservatives constituted vast
majority OF the Democratic party, and those who
differed from it had degenerated from Democrat |
C principles. This is a wonderful discovery
There are in the United States House Of Repre-
'entatyes, some ten or fifteen Conservatives, who
claim TO be Democrats. There may be one in
hundred, of a similar description among the Dem
ocratic voters IN the United States and accor-
ling 10 the Patriot and Democrat, all the rest
