The Whfg Press.

Many of the most able intelligent and influen-
tial Whig newspapers in this State, discern the
necessity and approve tha measure of combining
Hli the progressive elements of opposition into some
ne w and effective form. willing TO discard old names
SO that substance and principle may be retained
and advanced. We name the following as having
thus indicated liberal views. viz: The Daily Gin
cinnati Gazette. The Cleveland Daily Forest
City, Summit Beacon. Medina Wing, Buckeye
State, Holmes County Wing, and Mansfield Her
aid.
To these able and leading Journals we presume
others might be added which have not as yet
come under our notice.
Weare almost tempted to add to the foregoing
list the Warren Transcript. in which we think we
have discovered liberal sentiments which need
only proper occasion to be fully developed.
We give in another column, extracts from the
Summit Beacon, Mansfield Herald and Holmes
County Wing. which we hope win be read.
So far as we have observed. there is not Free
Soil Journal in the State, that has indicie ed de-
sire to withhold the Olive Branch, on the contrary
nll seem desirous that the way should be hanora-
bly, prepared for union of all progressives. This
State Of things certainly is encouraging and full Of
hope.

"A new era has commenced in the polhics

the phantoms Of night vision. Behold
the boy rejoicing in the gayety of his
soul-the wheels of time cannot roll too
rapidly for him--the light of hope dam

plays upon his lip-he looks forward to
long years of joy to come--his spirit

men and mighty deeds-he wants to be

his eye-sorrow has thrown its gloom up
on his countenance-he looks back upon
the waking dreams of his youth, and sighs
for their futility each revolving year
seems to diminish something from his lit
tie stock of happiness, and he discovers,
that the season Of youth-when the pulse
of anticipation beats high, is the only sea-
son of enjoyment. Who is he of the
aged locks His form is bent and totters
his footsteps move more rapidly toward
the tomb-he looks back upon the past,
his days appear to have been few, and he
confesses that they were evil; the magnif-
icence of the great is to him vanity-the
hilarity of youth folly. He considers
how soon the gloom of death must over.

"Its light baird, what dyer ak? Three

"Yes."
"WaIl, go on then"
While the barber was rasping "Three
cents worth" from the chin, his "sitter"
saw an assistant putting cologne upon
customers hair, through quill in the
cork of bottle.
