sreus OF TIE TIMES,

For Representative
TIMOTHY DAVIS, Of Clayton County.
sIeus OF TIE TIMES,
There are signs on earth As we'll as ia
heaven, and just now the former oil point
10 the election of Fremont, Those precur-
sors Of victory that preceded the election
Of Gen. Harrison in lS4o, are rife in the
land. Every steamboat, railroad car anu
stage coach, upon which an expression y
had, adds its mite to swell The testimony 10
favor of Fremont, while 9 thousand unmls-
takeakle signs display themselves IN every
point Of the political zodiac. The votes
taken on sscamboass, lake steamers raiiroao
cars, stays cosches, and gatherings o. va
rious kinds, oil show in favor OF Fremont
akrss 10 one. The following, however, from
the Dubuque Reps5sicsa, shows more 'avor-
.hi,. the train being composed Of enterPr''
.ine eastern men who were immigrasing to
the west. On Thursday. says the above
quoted authority, the Western train to Dn-
buque being detained some eight miles sn's
aide of Chicago, a committee OF gentlemen
representing the various parties, canvass 60
The legal votes Of the passe ayers. Ihes
found on board the train 800. For Fillmore
II; Buchanan IL; Fremont 2s2.
The proportion against Buchanan ana
i. favor Of Fillmore on the Missouri river, .
ssre an the character Of which is becoming
:. c,orded a. its waters, is almost the same.
The No. RepsHicss Of the 9Th inst. says
TIA, on the Morning Star. from the Aissoa-
i. there was 4 ballot with the following re-
sult. For Fillmore 81; for Buchanan 10.
IT,. ,.a;e.. il seems, vssed too; and Mr.
Fillmore had II ladies on his side, and b.
ch.n.n i. The old bachelor ought to
abuck" up to her. by all means.
The mechanics of the land almost uni
v~ers.lly favor Fremont, as.aside from their
ai.like TO slavery they do not like Buchan-
ans views with regard to the compensation
of laboring men. The other day . sote
v.s taken in Colts Machine and Pistol
shon- in Hartford, Conn, with the follow
inc result: For Fremont, los; Buchanan d
&c: Fillmore 3, doubtful Is.
TIL Buccaneers occasionally think to
change the popular current in the tide OF
travel. but we have moi yet observed q son
,.U case 10 which Buchanan had more
votes than Fremont. An amusing instance
Of this kind occurred on the Galena and
Chicago Railroad last, Monday. The Dele
rates from all of the counties Of Illinois,
e,s, Of Stephenson, were on board going to
Freepor, to the Nebraska Convention TO
pominate Maloney tor Congress iney
were strong in numbers, and rather loud Of
boas, that one railroad train, At least could
show q majority for Buchanan. This beng
promptly questioned in that case, the vote
was taken and showed more than one bun
drss msjori.y for Fremont. The COOLING
effect Of the "wet blanket" wac apparent.
Even The of6ce-hoIders in some LOCALITIES
are striking for freedom. We have hear
OF one instance in which q postmaster MAJ
he ,emerity 10 declare himself for Fremon
when questioned BY the authorities from
Washington, but as this remarkable cas-
NAV not be believed upon mere statement
We viii give the facts BY which it was ae'
-companied. A postmaster in Herklmel
county, N. York. where there is SAID to D.
nm, one party aud that for freedom and Ere
mont. was inquired Of from Washing on a
10 the prospects in his neighborhood- H'
wrote back that Their e was not a Buchanan
man in the place, adding that if he wer'
turned out for saying so, he at least ha'
the satisfaction of knowing that no one bu
Fremont man could be appointed in hi'
stead.
A Chicago paper gives a little aneedo''
that illustrates the popularity Of Fremont Il
the West. 1t says that a distinguished
Ohio politician, who was in that city th'
dsv before, readily conceded that Ohio woui
90 for Fremont by an overwhelming major
~. uAnd,n said he, "it looks very much
though the whole Northwest 10 going f.
him, for since l left home have not see
Buchanan man, eroepf rAsn 4 looked IN
glass"
The nomination Of Fremont upon q plat
form of freedom and equality, has had IN
efectto divide families. where from a fault
eSpcat;on the members huve ali been Of To
Democratic school. The more thoughtit
and conscientious, perceiving to what th
persistance in an adhesion to q party tbs
had left It's time-honored principles an
stood squarely upon a platform composed
slavery extension, would lead them, has
left the name for the substance, and no
act with the Republican party. Sometime
whole families Of brothers have thus unite
with the Republican party. The Chicag
Press of Thursday gives a notable instance
1t says that on the day previous, nine brotf
err, BY the name of Levsnwey, met in thu
CITY, BY mutual arrangement, TO proceed J
~
company on a visit TO their aged mother l'
ing in ST. Lawrence county, N. Y. III
whele of them, from the ommencemeDt {
manhood up to the present time, had bee
democrats and voted the democratic tickle
,rhev live in different localities over a re
zion of country nearly 1000 miles in ca
tent. On meeting yesterday n compa
inc notes, they found they were every CT
g, Fremont. That good old mother ms
we'll be proud other sons.
Iowa ProhibitOry Law.
VIZ regre, to hear that on Thatsday ID
senate passed o bill repeating the low
P~,ohiei,ery Law. We have the satisfactio
Of believing, however, that the bill VIII
ar,,shed QUIZ in the Senate. Should
mass both bodies the Governor, we presume
will in,erpose HE veto 10 prohibit IT becou
ing q law.
