IMPORTANT CHANGES.

/ The last Michigan papers bring us
tho intelligence Of several important
changes in public sentiment in rel siion to
the Administration. Among these we
notice that Of Col. j. w. Brown, son of
General Joseph Brown, fmmerly Of Wo-
tertown in this state, 0nl nephew Of the
late General Jacob Brown, distinguish
ed officer of the last war, and at the
time of his death commanding general
OF the army Of the United States.
Col. Brown, who has now boldly taken
ground for Harrison and reform, was
receiver Of the public lands, and is
now United States marshal for The
State Of Michigan, and resides in the
beautiful village Of Tecumseh. The
fact Of his recent appointment visitor to
the West Point Academy is evidence
sufficient Of his standing in society. In
speech recently made to tho Wings Of
Tccumseh, we find the following
"You may have seen my appointment
as one Of the visitors to West Point, !
consider it highly honorable, and ! re-
ceived IA llattering letter from the Sccro-
tary Of War. 1t is trip of all others ]
should like TO take. But | know this
party well, and they will expect mo to
pay ueH for he honor, By mm'm and
hearty supp of of Pan Burcn, sub Treas
ury and all. AS cannot take all this
Jiiter with little street, ] have declined
the honor, and hope to meet you at Font
.Meigs."
The Newark Daily Advertiser ndds
the following to the lists:
Charles &. Berry, n veteran Van Bu-
ren man and editor Of the Washington
/ (La. Chronicle, warm Van Burc n
paper, has published card announcing
his secession from his party. He begins
| thus:
" conceive it duty owe to my
self, to those with whom have former
ly acted, and the public generally, to
state that have seen cause to withdraw
my support from Mr.. Van Buren and
lend my feeble aid in assisting to elevate
TO the presidency Gen. Harrison"
The " Beaver City Chronicle" pub
lished at Rochester, Pa. by J. w.
White, Jr, has pulled down its Van Bu-
rem flag, and run up the banner of llAR-
nlsoN and REroRM. The change is
thus announced
"OUR FLAG"
"This week we have the qualification
Of laying before our readers the names
of Gen WNI. HENRY HARRISON
and JOHN TYLER, as the peoples
candidates for Pre- sident and ViCo Pres
idcnt Of the United States, in the room
Of Martin Fan Buren and Richard NJ.
johnson, who have departed This life in
tho columns Of this paper. Thatwe have
been warm and ardent supporter Of
General Jackson and Van Buren,, we
will not deny-yct it was done upon an
honest conviction that their policy Of
government was right--that policy OF
government has failed to produce that
peace, happiness and prosperity to our
growing republic, that we had ought TO
have received at her hands, 10 also self
evident"
So much for Mr.. J. w. White, Junior.
Having discharged his duty, the young
er editor proceeds to " defino the posi-
ton" of his father, in the following par
agraph
"We have received the first aud Sc
cond numbers of n new paper entitled the
Gcauga Freeman edited by j. ".
White, senior, at Chardon, Ohio. We
rejoice TO have it in our power to show
another change in favor Of the Hero Of
the Thames. The Freeman has at
his mast head the flag Of General Har-
rison and John Tyler, in flying colors. -
1t will be recollected that my father has
been an editor for many years, and has
fought many battle for Gen. Jackson
and Van Buren, yet he has now taken n
stand upon the wall ofredomption, plead
ing the cause Of the people, in opposition
to the off holders Of the nation"
We have room but for one more, which
will suffice for one day. MIR. Trice, one
Of the editors of tho Tazewell (Ill.) Re-
porter. another veteran adhcrcnt Of the
I Administration, has also come ont nder
his own signature, md publicly con
domned IFS present policy. The Repor-
ter now carries the Harrison flag.
