The SIGNS OF THE TIMES We are
never So sanguine of success as to relax
any effort necessary to bring it about,
and in this uncertain world we expect
nothing but what is earned jv diligence

of the Wing candidate IN this contest,
we are not led to sit idly down and

In all the great Northwest, thousands
of Germans and others who have here

now out for Scott, because Pierce is the
enemy Of all appropriations to Rivers

deepest interests lie.

MAINE.-Maine voted on Monday.
The eyes of all politicians were anxious
ly turned to her, for the result there was
held to be a sure 'sign of the times"
If the wings gained it were to excite a
glorious hope for November; il the oppo-
slton, the prophecy was for them.
Maine voted. The locofoco Governor
fails to be reelected by some thousands;
there were side issues, to be sure, by
which he both gained and lost The
surer test was the vote for Congress. AT
the last election the locos elected five
members out of seven; the new appor-
tionment reduces the States represen-
tation to six members, of whom the
wings have elected three. In both
houses Of the Legislature the wings have
made great gains, and it is not yet Ger
tain but they have the Senate. So, the
sign is for US. Wings, take higher hopes
and advance sure and steadily TO the
victory
Since the above was in type we find
in the Baltimore Sun of yesterday the
following Geographic despatch:
PORTLAND, Sept. 16.-The majority
against Gov. Hubbard will probably
reach 1000 votes. In the senate the
wings will have 6 majority. To the
House there are elected so far S. dem
ocrats and 81 whig, leaving 26 districts
to be heard from.

wonder and, perhaps, their parents complain,

The WEBSTER MOVEMENT IN GEoRGIA.--It APP
pears that the wings Of Georgia have yet to act in
reference to their ticket for the Presidency. The
party is divided between Webster and Scott. The
Webster men are to hold their State convention on
Tuesday, the 18th nstant, and the Scott men are
TO hold theirs at the same place, the day after the
Webster men, so as to have the advantage Of all the
loose materials of the Webster party. In the end,
however, the Georgia democratic journals Of the
opinion, that only two candidates will be run in
Georgia-Pieice and Webster, and that General
Scott will be dropped entirely. We adverted yes
lima since the late election, and the Webster muve
ment in New Orleans, and to the card Of George L.
Curtis, giving us every assurance of the irmness,
for Webster, Of "the solid men Of Boston," We
gain repeat, we glad to hear all this, and par
ticulary glad that the Massachusetts, conservative
wings do not intend to abandon Mr. Webster. The
next step is for the Webster men in Massachusetts,,
in this city, and everywhere, to put forth inde
pendent Union electoral ticket for Mr.. Webster,
and give him fair chance. Let that DO done, and
the result, at least, will be to convince the people
Of Massachusetts, that Mr.. Webster cannot be
spared from the councils of the nation. They will
then return him to Congress, where like Mr.. Clay,
he may yet hold position higher than that Of the
President Of the United States. Let the Webster
men como forward Now is the time for action.

are already in the field
