The news, List of Premiums of our Agricul-
tural Society, and our correspondence, togeth-
with the extra work of getting our new
type into shape, which prevented its being
written, have crowded out our usual amount
of editorial matter. 1t may be that our read
ers will think that no great loss. Still there
some things that we fain would have ex-
pressed an opinion upon this week.
We are gratified in being able to state that
a great change has been going on in the
public mind" The fear that cast a general
gloom over the country a week or two since,
that the Democratic party was going to allow
itself to be hurried into a faction of traitors to
the government. instead of politicaI opponents
of the administration, is passing away. The
patriotism and good sense of the masses has
overcome the plottings of the Demagogues and
traitors. The reaction is complete. Every
where Union, War Democrats are speaking
out i'll thunder tones against those partisans
who would allow their party hate to turn
them into traitors to their country.
The democracy of New York has just been
held, presided over and shaped by such dem
ocrats as John Van Buren,, James 7. Brady,
Judge DAILY, and others, in which they pledg-
ed the Democracy of the Empire State, to an
unconditional and hearty support of the adj
ministration i'll all its war measures until this
accursed Rebellion is crushed out.
We shall publish the resolutions next week,
