ENCOURAGING.

Never has Presidential campaign opened
so enthusiastically, if we except The ever
memorable l640-and we doubl II the camp
fires burned brighter even then. From The
north, south, east, and west, we hear that
the nomiAaIion of The old Hero is cordially
ratified by The people.
The enthusiasm which prevails in New
England, exceeds the most sanguine expec-
laIions. The Boston Atlas says: "The
PEoPLE have lakea up The nominations, and
will bear Them up in triumph 10 victory, as
the walters of the flood bore up the ark of
Noah" The Rochester Democrat prom
ises larger majoriiyin Western New York
Than was given in 184o. In Michigan, the
Democrats are much alarmed, and with
good reasop--two Of their leading polil lcians
having "declared their intention" TO vote
for Gen. Scott. Kentucky responds TO the
nomination with great enthusiasm. In Fast
ern New York every succeeding ratification
meeting ecliPses The preceding one. The
only dissatisfaction we have observed there
is among the Wal-streei brokers. The
Wings Of Pennsylvania are alive. The
Democrats hang their heads. for they re-
member the slangh. cred Buchanan. As ar
evidence Of the feel ng in Virginia, we oh
