according to that pattern. God hath ex-

Adam to this minute on innumerable sub

God were not slow to wrath, slnioi

exercised bv all men against their enc

since there is not man without an enc

breathing out threatenings, the world
would not only be an Aceldama, ibut a
j desert. How distant are they from the
nature of God, who are In a fame up

of some feeble and imaginary honor,

SIGNS OF THE TINES.

Judging from few circumstances which came
to our knowledge few days previous to The

ore perfectly satisfied that the locofocos some time
ago laid their plans for simultaneous push thro'-
out the State, as far as possible, TO elect ocofoco
town officers To what extent the party has been
drilled into this novel attempt-Eovel, except in
u few towns where the parties are nearly equally
balanced, AMI where, as in This, the officers con-
slider themselves the servants Of the party rather

proceedings of which come to us in every mail:
our limits confine us to n mere notice.
VOICE FROM CONNECTICUT.
The Young Mems State Convention OH the
Goth was The largest ever held in New England.
The delegates came in professions with banners,
and numbered in all from FIVE 10 SEVEN
THOUSAND! They pledged Connecticut for
the Hero of Tippecnnoe and the Thames by fire
thousand majority.
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE OF OHIO.
The log .cabins Of Ohio have poured out their
thousands, aud the words are spoken Ohio goes
for Harrison en- masse. BY private letter from a
Vermonter, ut Columbus, and by the newspapers
we have accounts of the Democratic Wing State
Convention, holden at Columbus on the 22d. II
was the army of freedom-from FIFTEEN to
TWENTY THOUSAND STRONG. Never
was there such an assembly IN America Though
the rain poured down in torrents through the
whole day on which most were obliged to start 70,
Columbus, it did not stop them. They went oil
Kcniucky ana OHIO boys followed mar
rison to the Thames regardless Of all obstacles
Such is the spirit Of the farmers of the Grea
West for Harrison, and it cannot be queled
