and reject. them-will they, when their
diabolical purposes are disclosed, consent
to lend themselves to aid their unhallowed
ambition? He who thinks it is fool, and
this is the error to which we alluded in the
first sentence of this article, and into which
Jones and his corporals guard of renegade
ragamufins have fallen. They cannot in
duce the Wings of this country to assist
them in agitating the slavery question for
political effect. They cannot influence the
Wing vote in this election, and here is the
error of Democratic papers in parading the
names of Wing apostates, and appealing to
old line Wings to follow them. They do
not know the stuff which enters into the
composition of a Wing. All the unscru-
pnlous demagogues and aspirants who were
once Wings, and as we have shown, led to
the disruption of the Wing organization,
have become satisfied that the slavery ques-
ton is the best material for demagoguery,
and that in the Wing organization, or among
any party of conservative, national men they
cannot use it and hence these characters
have respectively, in the North and the
South, dropped into the Black Republican
and Democratic parties-into the former,
Seward, Weed, Greedy, & Co.-into the
latter, Jones, Benjamin, Pratt, Ell I'd Omne
genus 1t is well they are gone. On any
pure party they wear but loathsome fungi,
'mildewed ears blasting their wholesome
brothers."
This repugnance to being led and used is
a distinctive characteristic of a Wing -
and contrasts strongly with the docile due,
tility Of Democrat, who only wants to
know his leaders wish, that he may be in
haste to do it. Those who reckon that
the Wings of this country are going to
follow Jones and his suite into the locofoco
camp are widely mistaken. A true Wing,
so far from doing so, will rejoice in the
opportunity to rebuke these treacherous
time-seryers. The time of Democratic pol.
iticians is unemployed in singing seductive
songs in the ears of Wings, or arraying
treason as an example for their imitation

A Democrats Opinion.

A friend informed US, yesterday, that
he had had a conversation with a Buchan-
an democrat, just returned from the East
who gives it as his opinion that the great
reaction which is in progress iii the free
States, will result in the election of Mr.
Fillmore. He states that the change in
public sentiment during his brief stay
North was marked and most significant.

breckenridge dragged into the Cam

Vass.
1t is a noteworthy indication of the
weakness of the democratic cause, and of
the trepidation and alarm of the intriguers
and managers of the party, that Mr..
Breckenridge, the candidate for the Vice
Presidency, has been induced to depart
from a custom honored by the observance
of similar candidates, and to take the
stump. He has recently spoken in Ken
lucky; in Ohio, at Cincinnati; in Indiana,
at Indianapolis; and is advertised to speak
in Illinois and Michigan. Mr. Brecken-
ridge is too high spirited and chivalrous to
have thus consented to roughen the enamel
of his dignity, by mingling in the excite
ment and discussions of heated party
canvass, unless at the earnest solicitations
of party leaders, and with view to save
his cause from utter route. We cannot
believe he would, voluntarily, and without
some such stimulus as this, bedraggle the
lODCS vi lCt ICSluGHJldi CduuludJc III
the dirty waters of political itinerancy.
We think we may, therefore, regard his
abnegation of the dignity of his position
as an encouraging symptom of the desper-
ate condition of affairs in the northern
democratic camp. We may safely assume
that not only are their force, on the eve of
the great battle, demoralized and unfit for
the coming strife, but that it will require
the most active and vigilant efforts of the
commander to keep them from deserving
to the enemy. We are really sorry for the
Southern division, which, under all the dis
couragementS of the times, has been ma
king gallant efforts to secure a victory.
Its leaders and privateS, must, however,
feel that the battle is lost; and in view of
that result, it would be patriotic in them to
finish the campaign under the American
standard. Let them come Recruiting

summer drought, after much, too much rain in the

Young cotton of its foliage, will render the upland

been favorable. In this immediate neighborhood
no rain has fallen for nearly nine weeks, and half
