The Signs CT the Times.

Last week we gave a column OF GU
paper 10 notice of distinguished men
formerly members of the Democrat,
party, and leading influential paper
which had formerly advocated the sam
cause, who had r pudiated the Pro
Slavery Platform laid down at Cincin
natl, and Buchanan who endorsed it
and had joined the Republican tanks
We now give another list in addition t,
that of last week. What must be tn,
condi'ion of a party when its best men
ard its slaunchest presses, disgustei
with the acts, the principles. and Tie
leaders, leave it, r~epudiate its principles
express its rottenness, and utterly refuse
to endorse its platform? We hop,
every man who takes this paper in hi:
hand, will read The following, and ther
predict the future Of the pro-Slrvery
Democracy. Look at the following lis
from Pennsylvania, Lancaster county,
especially, Buchanan's home. The
Pittsburgh Gu=ehe says:
Our country exchanges are just now
coming in with responses to the Phila-
delphia nominations. We have already
mentioned that the Schuyikill Miners
/ Journal and the Westchester EdlGge
Record, both influential papers, and
neither heretofore identified with the
Republican party. have come out for
Fremont and Dayton and we have now
to add that the Delaware county Repu5-
lean, an old line Wing paper, and the
Lancaster Independent Wing. an Ameri-
can paper, have both hoisted the Ere
mont and Dayton flag. The Delaware
Republican says:
''The Republican Convention, held in
Philadelphia during the present week,
nominated for President John Charles
Fremont, of California, and for Vice
President, William L. Dayton, of New
Jersy. The nomination will receive the
undi, ided support of every true friend of
Liberty in the North, and will be re-
sponded to in a spirit which will dispel
all doubts in The minds of those who may
be wavering or distrustful of success
We have had some opportunity, within
the past few days, to ascertain the cor
rect sentiment of the people from al
parts of the North, East and West, and
we can truly say that the Convention
has acted wisely and well in conforming
to that sentiment, by selecting for our
standard bearer one who is fully able TO
carry it aloft with dignity and honor,
who will bear it to victory, and who
will never desert it in the hour of trial"
The Lancaster Wing endorses the
Philadelphia nominations cordially, goes
very heartily into their support, and
adds:
"The friends of Mr.. Buchanan have
sent abroad The boast that he will have
six thousand majority in this county !
And some of them have the bump of
hope 81 m~arvelously developed as 10
credit such presumption here. Instead
of six thousand majority for Mr.. Blu
chanan, there will be more than three
thousand against him, in this county
Mark this prediction. No one acquaint-
ed with public opinion in the county,
will put it at less and the probability is
that it will be much MORE
The Le~wistown (Mifiin Co.. GozeAs
heretofore a Fillmore paper, last week
took down the Fillmore flag, prepare
tory 10 supporting the Philadelphia nom
inees.
The Blair County Wig, Beaver Ar
gus and Crawford Journal all put up the
Fremont and Dayton flag, and the latter
saws that 100 guns were fred in Mead
vile on the receipt of the news of Free
mont's nomination.
The Americon Organ, published at
Washington, says:
Senator Brodhead administration
Democrat) of Pennsylvania, openly de-
clared, a few days ago, in this city, hat
Mr.. Buchanan could o carry Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Brodhead is one of the
shrewdest politicians in the county, and
knows Pennsylvania as well as any man
living"
In Massachusetts, the New Bedford
Mercury, which last year went for the
old line Wing, against the Republican
movement, has come oHt fer Fremont
and Dayton. The Worcester Palladium,
heretofore a leading democratic print,
edited by Hon. j. B. Knowlton, a promi
Lent democrat, ~repudiates the Cincin,
natl platform, and adopts the Philadel
phia nominations.
