Signs of the Times.


We Law before our readers this week, ex-
tracts from various wing papers, showing
the opinins they entertain in regard 10 the
Presidential election. The Wing prospects
have frightened in the past two or three
weeks beyond all precedent.
We, of Missouri, although now under the
dark dominion of Locofocosm, look forward
with hope to the time when this will be
ranked among the Wing States. We con-
graduate our brethren over the accommodating
indications Of certain final success,
An exchange from Pennsylvania, says:
The Wing fires burn brightly throughout
the State, and the utmost confidence is felt
in a signal Wing victory in Pennsylvania.
Indeed, this is conceded by many Of our po-
litcal opponents. How can't be otherwise?
Winfield Scott was ever favorite in the
keystone State, and his name is as familiar
to the yeomanry Of the interior as house
hold wcrls. II y
The indications thus far are Of the most
favorable kind. Pennsylvania will give her
vote to Winfield Scott, and by a majority OF
thousands.
The news from Maryland is equally cheer
ing. The Baltimore .4mer7can, a paper
which seldom errs, in lis calculations
srys:---
With regard to Maryland we MAY venture
70 speak with some confidence. 1t is not tt
the purpose to boast in advance, but we can
without hesitation, express the belief that
his State will give her vote to Genl. Scott
by majority equal 10 that of lS4S. An
active spirit is awakening among the young
Wing. who are moving forward in the con-
test with energy and determination. The
movement will not stop. 1t will go on with
Increasing force and volume, until the cleo,
lion in November shall crown it with sue
cess.
The Raleigh Register, the principal Wing
paper in North Carolina, confidently pre-
diets that Gen. Scorr will carry that State
BY majority nearly or quite as large as thai
of Gen. Taylor, which was nearly nine thou
sand votes. There is not Wing paper il
the whole State of North Carolina bu
avows The most entire confidence in Gen
SCOTS carrying that state BY handsome
majority.
From Louisiana we have any number o
cheering accounts. We give only one ex.
tract:
Letters from every section CT the State
speak in the most cheerful and hopeful tone
Everywhere the friends of Oh CHlpPEwA,
counting in their host not few Of THEN
Democratic fellow-ctlzens, are moving in
his behalf, and the opposition to him is to-
tally wanting in energy and zeal. W.

As to what the Wings of Virginia are
doing, we copy the following from the Rich.
mond Wing, one of the most reliable pa
pers in the Union:
We have most encouraging news from ths
western part Of the State. The reaction
has already commenced. The Wings whG
were Indifferent at first, are becoming warn
and eager 10 Join in the shouts over the de
liverence of the good old commonwealth
All accounts tell us that the Democratic or
ators have an uphill business with Pierce
Day is breaking in old Virginia!
Read what the Boston Alias says Of til,
prospects in Massachusetts and New Eng
land:--
We can assure the wings of Massachu
sets, and of New England that the skie
are bright. The ball is rolling onward ant
upward. The Democrats already feel tina
the tide has changed in favor of the viii
candidates. They cannot hide their disap
pointment. A gentleman at Washingto
writes that the Democrats in that city VIII
were sanguine of Pierees election mont
ago, and were ready TO bet odds on hi
chance, now refuse 10 bet, and aeknowledg
that the result is doubtful. The truth is tn;
General Pierce has no hold upon the mass
es. There is nothing in his history tn;
can beget enthusiasm. They regard him &
presenting no claims 10 the Office. The
don't know him, and don't care for him.
The Observation-Disclosures which the press
