PROGRESS OF OPINION.

The Richmond Wing quotes what il truly char.
acierlzes, q very significant passage from the
Van Buren, paper published at Clarksbnrg, Harri-
son county, Va, in which the Loco Foco Editor
says, strange il may appear" he almost dai-
y sees some changes" among his political friends,
in favor Of Harrison. The Editor attributes the
changes to " sinister motives" That is matter
Of opinion or rather OF prejudice on his part But
the fact, that these changes almost iaily' 60
ing on, against Van Buren, and in favor OF Harrison
is candldly admitted, and is an important acknowl-
edgement, coming from that side Of the hou,e.--
When the losing party, as in this case assert and
admit these changes Of opinion il msy be held de-
cisive of the question. That such change Is going
on in that quarter is no longer subject Of dispute
The Wing remarks Of this candid admission Of the
Van Buren, paper at CIarksbufg, thai il is zorro
baive Of the whole current Of information which VIC
have received from the quarter. North Wes-
