REASONS FOR CHANGE.

The following are the plain spoken reasons
given by WIN. II. GRAY, editor OF the States
man, published at Vevay, in Indiana, for having
abandoned his former association with the Van
Buren, party to lend his aid to the cause Of llar-
rison and Reform
TO THE PUBLIC.
As we have been somewhat associated with
the Van Buren, party for some time past, 1t may
occasion some little surprise, affected or real, IN
certain quarters on seeing our name at the head
of this paper. A proper Difference, therefore, TO
our former associates, compes us to frankly state
that we have abandoned the support of The pre-
sent Administration not because we are tired of
true Democratic principles, or of the great mass
of honest men with whom we have heretofore
acted but because we are tired disguised, and
even alarmed at the anti democratic and danger
Gus practices of those who enjoy the confidence
OF that party; because we can no longer support
an Administration Of corruption, whose practices
are VIGOROUSLY at war with its professions, and
whose perncious influence, like the poisonous
breath of the sirocco, is now sweeping over the
length and breadth Of this land carrying moral
death and destruction in its onward course IAN
Administration which, in the outset, laid down
economy and the integrity of public function
aries, as its leading principles but whose prdc-
tees have been so little in accordance with these
principles that the public expenditures have been
almost frebied and, instead Of integrity among
public functionaries, the modern democratic
principle that to the victors belong the spolls,
aud the scrupuous eXactions with which Mr.

THE CHRISTIANS HOPE.

Let US often remember what that hope
Of glory is, to which we are called; let
as ofien think that we are the children of
light, the heirs Of God, and joint heirs
with Christ; and let US act as becomes
such. What have we to fear. to whom
70 die is the greatest adyantage2 What
have we to desire on earth, who have a
kingdom 10 our eye; kingdom where
in dwelIs righteousness and peace, and
love and gloryg The expectation of an
eternal kingdom should arm US with pa
tience and Spiritual warfare: "The nigh
is far spent. and the day is at hand the
night IS short, but the day is eternal. -
Let Us wait, let Us watch, let US stand fas
awhile, lutte while, and the day viii
break in upon Us. day that will chase
away all sorrow, and fill US with Joy ans
glory; day wherein we shall complain
no more, either of the infrmities Of th,
body, or defects of the mind wherein W,
shall grapple and fight no more eitbel
with temptations or evil. bot shall be eqna

Of holiness, so in the perfection Of pleasur,
