THE SPIRIT IS RISING.

We have never seen 50 much enthusiasm in
our ranks, as at the present time. The Demo-
cratic flag which has been raised is now waving
in the breeze Accessiuns pour in upon rs on
every side. The Whig~, although they affect
confidence in Mr. Clay's success, are trembling
in their shoes The whole country is aroused
the " Fiery Gross now is lighted on every hill
and hundreds of warriors, who have been dis
affected, are now rushing and anxious for the
coming fight. We have some bold and fearless
champions, who, though estrayed Tor lifetime, are
now rallyng under the banner OF States Rights
principles. Among these we may number many
here-but we must acknowledge The palm to the
Little Cockade She has done nobly. Mr.. X
K. Meade, the Wing Harrison Elcctor OF 1910,
has repudialed Mr. Clay and his heresies-and
Judge GhoSon, of the same little town, has re-
nounced the infamous course that The Wings ATE
pursuing To our country friends we say, "be
OF good cheer" the day must and shall be ours
