A Good Sign.

When the Radical papers begin to
condemn Gov Jacobs, We have some
hope for him. For sometime, they have
blarneyed him "ad nauseam," but either
he is tired Of it, or they are; they now
accuse him of weakness, desire 70 con-
ciIate his party, &c. We would be re-
joiced to sec all the differences and dis
sentiOns in the party healed over, and a
union of all its elements in favor of viz.

ment, and the education of the masses;
