Signs OF the Times.

The most spirited and important canvass
that this State has yet witnessed, will soor
be brought to a close. In few days, tn,
question will be decided whether the peoplc
will submit to be ruled longer by the iron
rod of Lecomptonism, or whether at The bal
lot box they will inaugurate new order Of
things. Let the friends of true Democratic
principles be of good courage, for it is evil
dent that since the commencement of the can.
vass, their cause has been dairy gaining
strength. The candidates of the Anti.Lc-
compton Democracy, selected MS they were
from among the best of our citizens, have
gained every where the confidence of the
people, and have been received by them in n
manner which proves that the popular heart
IS desirous of bursting the thrall of Leeomn-
tonism. We have had all along great odds
to contend against-the prestige of a party
flushed with success. and backed by Federal
patronage. 1t is because of their Federal
patronage and their late success, that the
Administration party in this State put on so
bold an air. But let us remember that since
the last general election, many things have
transplred to give vigor to our cause. and to
waste the strength of our opponents.-
Through many of the States of the Union. has
arisen in brief space of time, an opposition
which bodies no good to the Lecompton pow.
er. Shall we be told that other States: less
cursed than ours by the Lecompton rule
the one man power e-can shake off that rule.
but that California must remain supine? Be.
lieve it not-but let the ballot box on the
day of election show that here, as well as
elsewhere, the people have become weary of
the Federal yoke. 1t is evident to all who
have watched the progress of the canvass in
this State, that the influence of the Lecomp-
ton leaders is not so potent as of old They
can't awake enthusiasm When they speak,
the popular heart does not respond as it al
ways does when it takes in the great truth

For phrases said or song.
And the earliest thing to children taught
Is, "Gc it while you're young ~
mandate which they all obey,
And il the truth were told,
The vast majority keep on,
And Go it, when they're old.
Another phrase which often glides
In music from the lip,

And beauty. "bet 'er rip :"

connected with the report of 1856 In The
House edition horse cost $40, ,5765 a
strawberry SIC, 1850; sheep $l0,576.-

edition the same pictures cost S6,970.15.
In the face of these humiliating disclo-
sures, which were the subject of general
ridicuic, in and out of Congress, the person
in charge of preparing the Agricultural re-
port for publication, used all the arguments
in his power to have second edition of a
horse, a tea plant, and a map inserted in
colors, in the report just published, which,
at the price stated by Mr. Sinclair for
their execution, in his voluntary card, pub
iishcd in the Union a few days since, (in-

Copper ORE IN DUCKTowN--A cor
respondent of the Ductown Glenn Eagle
gives the following account of the copper
mines in that vicinity
Operations have for years been carried
on at different mines in Ducktown; shafts
have been sunk to great depth (near 800
fcct) to find the yellow ores, but with no
definite success, until within few days
past, when it was found in great abundance
on what is called the (" East Tennessee 4"
property, in the northern part of Duck
town. This sjustly regarded us the great
est discovery ever made in Ducktown, for
it establishes the fact beyond doubt that
the yellow ores do exist in continuous veins
through the whole district a new feel
ing animatcs not only the property holders
but all who have an abiding place in Duck
town arc now in better hopes and feelings
than ever heretofore. This cannot, how
ever, be regarded as mere excitement 1t
is the conclusion of the mind, from salts
factory evidence, that there is a better
time coming"
