TIE New York Express in the late democratic de-
monstralion at New York the Handwriting on the
WALL and makes confession Of the signs OF the times as
follows:
What is there in conceang the truth that the loco
foco mass meeting In and about Tammany Hall and the
Park last night was by far tho most numerous the

Halt had learned 70 live and die"
In the same article the Express thus reports the pres
ent aspect OF the democracy:
"To all ntens and purposes then, the democrats party

they united the Sonih. Their divisions here and
there healed for the time being; and we repeat II y

The Advertiser then proceeds to cnch the Scott bust

General has persevered in the policy too long to per-
