 Patriots.
 We can hardly chronicle, as fast as they de- fine their position, the names of prominent in- divduals who heretofore identified with the od-hne wings, are now, since the ruin of that organization, connecting themselves with the other national organization, the democracy The Sentinel, at Paris, Tennessee, edited by H. F. Cummings, hitherto an old-li whig. runs up the Buchanan flag, as we notice by it's issue of the l4th ut. The Norfolk, Vreinia. He- raid, heretofore Know Nothing, has come out from that organization, and puts the name of MT. Buchanan atits mast head. In Hart coun- ty, Kentucky, at the late democratic ratification meeting, it was addressed by G. s Kerr, esq.,, all old-line whig, who declared his determina- ton to support the democratic ticket next No- vember. The great democratic meeting at Hartford, Connecticut, was addressed by Mayor Demng, who has always been staunch whig but now IS enlisted in the cause of Buchanan and Breckinridge. The Lansing, Michigan, Journal n it's last ssue contains the following paragraph:
 FoR BUCHANAN AND BRECKINRIDGE-John w. Longyear, esq, popular and talented law yer of thls town, who was the whg leader of hls party Ill this district when that party had an existence, Is a staunch and enthusiastic SUD- porter of Buchanan and Breckinridge In the course of the campaign MT. Longyear will ad- dress his fellow citizens upon the issues of the day.
 The late democratic ratification meeting in Boston, Mass, was addressed by Col. Wright of Lexington, and Edward Riddle of Charles ton, both belonging to that class of men who the black republicans hate old-line whgs' The Evansville Qnd.) Enquirer in speaking of the late democratic congressional convention in that district, says:
 We congratulate the friends of Judge Lock hart upon an accession to their ranks of several hundred honest old line whgs. A large num- Der were with Us at Petersburg, and determined for the future to act with the democracy as the only national party in existence. Several went up from this city who have never cast vote for democratic national, state or congressional ticket, but who will labor with us hereafter- They will1prove faithful soldiers, and we bid them welcome.
 The Springfield (Il.) State Register publishes letter from the Hon. E. B. Webb. another od-ljne whig, who hereafter will be found in the ranks of the democracy. In Virginia there appears to be a perfect rush of the old line whigs into the democratic organization. late democratic meeting in Northumberland county, Va, was addressed by G. w. Perkins and Robt Mayo, jr., both old-line whgs; c. B. Conrad, an eector on the Know Nothing ticket in Virginia declines serving, and announces his determina- ton to vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge- In the State of Maine the party known as the "strlight-out whigs," which last year polled about ten thousand votes in that State, is said h., f,,. A ,f+ +l,o Philadelphia Pennsylvanan, writing from Chambersburg, Franklin county, Pa, describ- ing qualification meeting in that place, says:
 It was no ordinary gathering. The demo- cracy venerable in age, impregnbe in princi- pie, and renowned in victory, were there. Ene- mics in the past, but brothers in the future with affections for the dead, yet with joyous accanations for the living-the noblest of whgs were there. The youth, sensible to lofty purpose, tried integrity and patriotism with an honorable emulation, and in the fulness of his heart-he, too, was there. It was such meet iug the remembrance of which will not soon be etiaced; and yet 1t but premonltlon ot that glorious unprecedented success that surely awaits the democracy of the once famous "Green Spot"
 The Springfield (Ill.) State Register in noting the fact that ROBERT S. BLACKWELL, an old- line whig cand date for Congress in the Chicago district in 1851, and Scott presidential elector iu Illinois u 1852, is for Buchanan, says that ot the Illinois whg candidates for State officers in that year, their nominee for Governor Sccreta- " of State and two of the electors are out for Buchanan and Breckinridge. The Register further remarks:
 Among the hundreds and thousands of those who are joining the democracy from the old line whig ranks, we have Ill former numbers cited the names of many gentlemen of dIstln- guohel reputation, who will not consent to the fusion of their party with rank abolitionlsln and Know Nottingham. We might cite a long list of names from among our own town popu- lation. We can name six prdctlclng lawyers, all "old-line whigS of Sangamon," who will not act with the black republicans in this pre- siaential campaign. We can name many mer chants, mechanics and farmers who were once whi-s, and who have never voted any other ticket, who will vote the entire democratic tick ct in November.
 In all parts of the State, leading men of the whig party are joining the democratic ranks Warren, Morrison, Singleton and Constable are not alone among. those who have Jolned our ranks-as the black republican newspapers would make the people believe. These gentle men are openly upon the stump, making cam paign for the democratic cause, and we have the names of many others who will soon en- gage in the work
 The Louisville Courier of the 23d says:
 It is singular tact and all unmistakabe sign of the times, that at the democratic meeting in this city, on Saturday, four of the gentlemen who made addresses were formerly ardent and prominent achigs.
 The Providence (Rhode Island) Post of a late date, remarks:
 OLD-L1NE WHrGs-Most of the more promi- nent and influential of the old-lne whigs oi Rhode Island, we think we may safely say, will vote for James Buchanan next November. A large number have already expressed their de- termination to do so, and many others will jon with them when they have more certainly as certained that in no other way can thelr votes be made to count against the miserable factions which have absorbed the masses Of the ol6 whig party. Come what may, they will DO unite in support of either of the present sec tonalisms. They have stood heretofore upor broad national platform in the approaching campaign. no matter where they may have tt go in order to find it.
 No wonder, with such indications from al parts of the country as to the temper and dis position of the old-line whigs, that the blacl republican press should be so profuse in th epithets of abuse which they apply to them.
 In Bad Way.
