 Our neiehbor appears also to be pleased with the abandonment of the democratic party by MT. Bars tow of N. H.. as proof that the democratic part' ia becoming weaker" This is the MT. Barstow whose presence in lhe Democratic State Convention with string of abolition resolutions which that Con yenton rejected as traitorous, was used by the Ad verser as proof of the anti-slavery characteristics ofthe democratic party. Repused there, he carries his abolition views into the opposition and finds sym pathy, concurrence and aid with the whigs; and the Advertiser, which made him abolition example when a democrat, to the dlscredlt of the demo- crats, who refused sanction his abolition IS very glad of his deserting to abolitionsm, because he cannot help the whigs 10 beat down the pro-savery democrats who discarded him!
 We note these signs in passing. They speak so plainly for themselves that we need no, expatiate up on all their bearings and afhnities.
