DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
Our Prospects, Old line wings
for Buchanan.

for BuCEanSD.
Every exchange brings the gratifying in.
telligence that new accessions are daily be.
ing made 10 the great Democratic Army
The Union men Of the country--those who
are in favor Of preserving the Government
in its integrity and who desire the continu.
ance Of the blessings which the National
Constitution confers, are focking by hun
dreds and thousands to join the Democratic
Standard. They can but regard the Repub-
licsn party as purely sectional in character,
and ifvietorious, its policy and principles
when carried out must inevitably lead to
the dismembermcnt of the Union. Many
leaders Of the old Wing party ure gone
The issues which that party made and the
doctrines for which it so gallantly contend
ed are settled. There is, them, no material |
issue to divide the Wings and the Democrats.
Both unite in the patriotic sentiment of al
legiance to the Constitution. This being
the case, there is no good reason why the
Clay and Webster Wings of the country
should refuse to act in concert with the De-
mocracy. They do not refuse; on the con-
trary they are coming over to BUCHANAN and
BRECKENRIDGE, and according to present in
dications, not three months will pass away
before every leading and active old line
Wing in the land will be battlsing for
BUCHANAN and the Constitution and the
Union.
In Ohio, nearly every prominent whig
hasjoined the ranks of the Democracy.
Hon. THOMAS EWING, 4 man who, for
many years has welded mighty influence
in the State and Nation and profound ant
experienced Statesman, has avowed his de-
termination to support the Democratic nom
inees.
NELSON BARRERE, another old-line Wing
and late Wing candidate for Govern o.
Ohio, is on the stump for BUCHANAN anc
BREcKrNRIDGE. JOHNSON also, late WhiG
candidate for Governor of Ohio, is laborinG
zealously in the Democratic cause
It would fill our columns to snumerate
half the names Of those who were ono
Wings, but now go heart and soul into tn
canvass for the Democratic nominees. -
James Stansburry and Hooking H. Hunter
each tower Of strength, Charles Anderso
one the most eloquent orators Of the State
j. G. Gest, man of commanding ability
and hundreds of others from every quartz
Of the State, have buckled on the Democr'
tic arnor and are dealing sure and heay
blows against the ranks Of the disunion pa
ty.
We have heretofore chronicled the fac
that the Logan County Gazette formerly
leading Wing paper of Ohio, has run up
the Masthead, the names OF BUCHANAN an
BREcKIERIpGE. ..
The Newark, CO., Times an infue
tial whig paper has also come to the suppo
of the Democratic party. W.. P. BRisrE
its editor, is an able and elegant writer al
his influence will be widely felt in tn
present canvass. From bis Salutatory, v
copy the following:
During the progress Of our publishing Il
Times we will more fully develop the eau
es of cur opposition to the woody heads.
For the present, let it suffice to say tn,
with all the energy we are capable OF, wi
whatever talent we may possess, we W
battle with . stout heart and clear CO
science for the Union and the restoration
peace TO the country; and no where can ,
find friends to aid in this great work in su
numbers as we can by fighting in the ran
Of the Democratic host.
A Arsvolution similar to that in Ohio, is q
ing forward in other States.
