Angelica Reporter, the Democratic organ
IN Allegheny county, New York, has
done the same. The Buffalo Republic,
Cayuga New Era, and Pulaski Democrat,
all of which supported the Soft Demo
cratic ticket last fall, are out in support
Of the Black Republican nominations.
Call you this backing your friends? OF
individual names of recent Democratic
converts to Fremont, there is a perfect
host. Among the most prominent are
Martin Grover, George athbua, Benja-
min Welch, Henry 4. SeIde@&Timothy
Jenkins, Nathaniel Jones, Plat Potter,
James S. Wadsworth, Ward Hunt, and
hundreds of others. What sort Of chance
does Mr.. Buchanan stand when Demo
crats Of fve-and-twenty years standing
abandon him by whole companies and
regiments!
Let it be borne in mind that what is
true of every nou-slaveholding State in
proportion to the amonnt of its infection
with the Freesoil heresy. Nothing can be
more unerring as indications of Northern
public sentiment than these developments.
They point to a morbid condition Of see
tional opinion which the caimest cannot
regard wiihsut apprehension. We believe
and are borne out in our conviction by,
the belief Of thousands of Buchanan
men, thatIf Mr.. Fillmore were not in the
field, Fremont would sweep the entire
North. Fillmore checks his progress by
attracting the support Of those national
men, who, with no abstract love of sla-
very, and with cordial dislike of Demo
cracy, are yet unwf'ds to sustain a pure
ly sectional movement, and prefer MIR.

pies emineQly entitling him to the conf-

The Mission of the Nesyspapers


The world, says the Topographic Re-
gister, and we endorse The truth, is too
apt tol eight and forget its obligation to
the ng Ter. 'Tis the newspaper that
keeps men posted up on all matters, and
all subjects that do not pass under their
immediate observation.
The eye of the newspaper is universal
it falls on all parts Of the world, and
searches out its incidents, as well as the
motives and passions that control its ac-
tions. Nothing is too great, nothing too
trivial 10 escape lis keen. penetrating
glance; it is everywhere, on everybody;
above, below, around il; the four quar-
ters of the earth are its parade ground
and it passes over them every moment of
each day. It is ceaseless in its industry,
tireIess in its watchfulaess !; and although
gossipy in its character, it is yigiIant at
times, peuetratige as light, and sleep
less as the stars.
Each succeeding dawn comes not with
more regularity than the morning jour
nal with the fresh batch of news despat-
ches from all parts of the world. lie who
reads carefully well-conducted newspa-
per, is never in any danger of falling be-
hind the age. His journal keeps him
posted up in everything running on with
the great march of time it gradually pre-
pares his mind to receive all the new dis
coveries of the human brain in its rapid
strides to clear and unclouded intelli-
gence it weans him from old fashions,
old customs, and old fogy thoughts; it
separates him from early prejudice, and
gradually inbues him with sound practi-
cal notions, and enables him to fathom
the heaviest and most abstruse subjects
with the plummet Of common sense; it
keeps him alive to all the new progressive
steps in Trade, Commerce, Literature
and Art; It makes him familiar with the
details Of all the events transpiring in no
matter what part Of the world, or the day
it enables him to keep pace with the in
telligence and progress Of the times; it
carries him on, impefceptibly to himself,
with each progressive step of the era in
which he lives aud it enables him, if he
be man Of business, TO open new chan
qels Of correspondence, and thus secure
forhimself new openings for trade, and
new sources of profit.
Under al these advantages, the man
must indeed he stepped in ignorance, or
reckless Of his own pecuniary interests,
who would not subscribe for the county
or parish newspaper.

amidst her tears. Round that idea, as
we have said, the mind clings with
fond affection; and even when the

OF our departed parent with garland
of graces. and beauties, and virtues,
which we doubt not thatshe possessed.

STEAM MELoDIEs.-We have previous
ly stated that some inventor in Worces-
Ter mas succeeded in turning the unearth-
~ screech of the steam whistle into har-
monlous music. The new invention was
attached to one Of the locomotives on the
Worcester and Nashua Railroad. few
days since, and the editor of the Worces.
ter Transcript, who was one of the party
who faced the music thus speaks of the
sensation created as the engine left Wor-
cester, to the tune of sOld Dan Tucker:'
The effect was magical; nay, wonder
ful, exciting and amusing. Men left their
helds and workshops, and rushed for the
Railway; with them came women, with
habIes and without; children innumera-
bic, and swarmlng like ants when their
hill is trodden on, all agape and agrin
with wonder and delight; every animate
thing was on The qui yive.
The horses danced promotes to the
music; the very pigs relaxed the tension
OF their tortuous tails, and stupid calves,
that ne'er had heard of melody, in dumb
amusement snuffed the music laden air,
and stood agape, their pendant sails out
standing straight behind. Twas marvel
lous, and we should not have been sur
PrIsed if all the bending woods, charmed
by the Orphic strains, had walked adown

How it Works.

The Bee continues to furnish accumu-
latiYe evidence Of the sinking Of the Bu-
chanan cause, and with rapidity, too,
hitherto unparalleled in Presidential can
vases. Cheer up, friends of Fillmore in
old lbervlIe Our cause is Frightening
with each rising sun. The ball, even
now; has been set in motion here let us
roll it on, with loud huzzas, while we
stream uloft the banner of Fillmore and
the Union!'
Every Northern paper, says the above
journal, comes to us freighted with addi-
tionaI evidence of The power of the Anti
buchanan movement. Tile tide which
was TO bear him aloft to the haven of the
the Presidency is rapidly receding, and
threatens to strand him a helpless and
deserted waif. We now begin to fear
that the utter weakness Of Old Buck, and
the rush of his quondam friends in the
North towards Fremont, will disable the
former from making decent fight in
that quarter, aud that the pathfinder of
the Rocky Mountains as Fremont's adj
mirers term him, will be so much aided
by Democratic accessions as to contest
with Fillmore most of the Northern, and
to carry several of the Northwestern
States. We think Ohio is certain for
Fremont; we are prepared to sec him
victorious IN Wisconsin, and believe thpt
he has more than an equal chance in To-
wa, Indiana and Illinois. We look for
his success in Vermont, and consider that
in Connecticut. Massachusetts, New Jer,
sey, New York and Maine, the struggle
will be between him and Fillmore. In
Pennsylvania, we do not apprehend any
danger Of Freemont's triumph. Hetakes
with him the heavy Democratic yote Of
the Northern counties, and the Freesoil
vote 10 Allegheny, Batter, Bedford, Bea-
yer and Washington, but they will not
saswer to give him the State, and will
only render the contest doubtful between
Buchanan and Fillmore.
The alarming Democratic defeetions
thfoughout the North are uuquestionably
helping Fremont where he has already
material strength, and aiding Fillmore
where he is powerful. Thus. in some of
the New England and the Northwestern
States Fremont gains by Buchanan's los
ses, while In the Middle States the ad-
vantage is on the side of Fillmore. In
no State has Buchanan suffered so severe
Iy from the treason of baeksliding Dem
ccrats than in New York. There, where
few weeks ago it was universally con-
ceded that either the American or Dem.
ocratic ticket would prevail, ii is now as
serted, almost without Contradiction. that
Fremont is the only. candio.te Fillmore
has to fear. We have striyen to keen onr
readers well informed Of the polilical pha- |
ses in the Empire State, but they assume
such startling mutations that it is difficult
to follow them with precision. Every day
as the signal of new change; every pa
per chronicles fresh tergiversations on the
part Of the Democracy. We see now
that the Ithaca Journal, for nearly thirty
years the Democratic organ il Tomp- |
kins county, aud the only paper publish /
cd there, has hauled down the Buchanan
