The Set of the Tide.


serve that the tide sets in strong in favor of
Lincoln and Hamlin. Every day notices
of more or less important accessions to the
Republican ranks are meeting our eye
We find in single paper yesterday, men,
ton made Of several important changes In
New York. AT a ratification meeting re-
Gently held in KeesPille, New York, the
President of the meeting, Col. G. NJ Wat
son, who has been a veteran Democrat, act
ed with the Republicans for the first time.
Among the Vice Presidents was G. P. AL
len another active Democrat, and j. w.
Reynolds hitherto rabid American, ad
dressed tho meeting in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket. And so goes the battle
The broken and fragmented Democratic
party is a good party to leave-to emigrate
from.
A friend writing to the Chicago Journal
from Connellsville, Pa, says:
While your prairies are on fire for "Old
Abe" so are our mountains--and this fire in
the mountain is destined in November TO
sweep away the last vestige of power from
the sham Democracy in Pennsylvania
Our State is just as sure fer 10000 for Lin
coin as the State of Massachusetts,. The
Democracy are turning into our ranks by
scores.
ANOTHER CoNvERT.-Mr. Briggs, clerk
of the village of st. Johns, said to be a
''ripe scholar, fine speaker, and ready wri-
ter" elected upon the Democratic ticket
last Spring, has renounced the doctrines of
that party, and will take the stump for Lin
coin and Hamlin.-Ralamazoo Telegraph.
There seems a strong probability that the
Democratic party will soon have four
wings. 1t has two already; and two 9TH
ers seem sproutipg out from its rump.-
What queer fowl it will be.-LouisvAe
Journal.
The Daily Wisconsin, of Milwaukee, has
come out in gallant style for the Republi-
can ticket. The Wisconsin has for long
time been the leading Democratic journal
of Milwaukee.
Leading Democratic Senators admit that
the success of the Republicans is inevitable,
but are determined to make the fight in
in order to expose the weakness of Douglas.
STILL They CoME.-The Chillicothe Ga
zette says:
Col. Van Trump, the candidate of the
Fillmore party for Governor in l947, is out
for Lincoln and Hamlin, and will probably
take the stump for the ticket this fall.
Only two of the Opposition papers in
Pennsylvania support Bell and Everett
The score or two which labored for Fill
moro are in heartily for Lincoln and Ham
lin. 1t was not, therefore, necessary to in
sure that State as lost to the Democracy,
for the Senate to "spit upon" the senti-
ment of the people in favor of Tariff
But that clinched it-Albany Journal.
At great Lincoln and Hamlin meeting
at st. Louis the other night, Mr.. Garden
line said that "if Lincoln be elected, as he
believed he would be, Missouri would gain,
by the stimulus given to emigration to her
borders, hundred mil lion dollars. ST. Louis
would gain, in being regarded as she is,
the Gibraltar of free cities in the Slave
States.
The Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser says
"there is a strong probability of the sue
cess of Lincoln, the Black Republican can
didate for the Presidency in the coming
contest" That's so.
MORE HELP IN MrssoUm.-The st.
Charles Democrat has hoisted the Republi-
can flag-its editor, Mr.. Krekel, being the
Republican elector for that district. The
st. Louis Democrat says: ''No wonder th at
the National Democracy groan over these
signs of the growth of Republicanism. II
is like the tolling of their funeral knell."
The Pennsylvanian advises Democrats
not to be too Jealous in behalf of any of
their candidates. The Democrats, it says,
"care not for men when great principles arc
at stake-they have no candidate whose
claims are stronger upon their regard than
the Constitution Of the land, and the union
of the States" That is true, We hope;
and accordingly, we advise them all 10
