The signs Of the Times

The signs Of the Times
The signs in the political horizon are all
one way The tone Of public sentiment, the
position Of the Press, the trepidation OF the
conspirators against Freedom all indicate the
election Of Fremont aud Dayton in Il manner
not to be misunderstood. The Republican
ticket will sweep the free states with a rush
much like that Of l84O. Here in Vermont
there is not enough opposition to it to give
spirit to the canvass. Were it not for the
federal Office holders, and a few who hang to
their skirts, the Buchanan party would hard
ly have even a formal existence. But else
where the masses are stirred: the PeopIe are
rising for Fremont and Freedom. The Prai-
rics are already ina a blaze Of enthusiasm .--
New York Is not far behind the Great West,
and Pennsylvania is coming,
The position Of the Public press is always
pregnant indication Of the whereabouts Of
the people, and unquostionahly the great
bulk Of the press in the free States favor Ere
mont and Freedom Nearly all the profess
edly neutral independent and religious pa
pers lean more or less decidedly that way

Fail, hail the Philadelphia nominations with
joy, and give them a ready well as hearty
support. The New York Independent, now
perhaps the leading religious newspaper in
the country. and having a circulation OF
2j.oo0. has openly assumed the champion
ship Of Col. Fremont for tn" presidential cam
pai.n 1t will prove a powerful element
in producing the united vote oil the Tree states
upon that candidate. In announcing It's de-
termination in this respect the Independent
says-"Those who think religious paper
should not thus freely join with the secular
press in doing this extraordinary work, are
informed that the matter has been calmly
considered, the cost counted, aud the conclu
sion deliberately and conscientiously arrived
at, that duty 10 God and man rrccludes n mo-
mcnt's hesitation as TO the course which
ought to be taken by this paper
In Pennsylvania, the Lancaster Express
an old influential Democratic paper, refuse.
to support Buchanan. and goes the Republi
can ticket. The Llnsingburgh Democrat i.
also rebelious. and refuses to hoist tn,
Buchanan ticket. The Pottsyille Miner
Journal, a paper of great influence among
the miners of Schuvlkill county, Pa, take,
down the Fillmore flag and hoists Fremont. 49,
