It is evident to all WHO note the signs that
the times have changed and are changing

goes of cheering news from tho democracy in all
parts Of the union. OF the signs there can be no
mistake nor in the indication of the pervading de-
mocratic spirit, which with Polk and Dallas upon
lis crest, is destined in November next, To sweep
from the strong holds Of power in this country,
every vestage of Clay whggery. The east, and
west, the north and south, alike, are emuIated by
desire in the great contest, it is, who shall be
foremost TO wipe from their politician forms, the
foul features of Fedro- Whiggery. Union, har-
mony ana enthusiasm pervade all ranks and
classes, and they show determination, as invot-
crate as that of our fathers in their first struggle
for free government, to establish again, free
and purely Democratic administration.


Demonstrations are made in all sections of the
country, mass meetings, celebrations, letters and
renuncatons are indications too strong, not to be
adm tied even hy such wings, whose virus, these
dos-days has risen to such degree as nearly to
blind them, who like malignant serpents of which
they so much remind US, when they feel them
selves overpowered, strike their venemous fangs
at all within their reach, inficting wounds upon
none but themselves.


If liberal minded, unprejudiced whig
friends cannot take our word for these "sgns''
let them stake up and rend''-peruse democratic
and neutral Journals well as whig; and they
will see that those "signs' stick out clear as the
lovers bright particular planet in the heavens.


Tho Democrats, conscious Of their growing
strength; tho progressive change in the destnies of
their party, are moderate, calm and determined,
the certain indications and true elements of sue
more virulent than ever-rendered furious by
being ou,-fanked and driven from their strongest
position by the Democratic forces under "Young

lars in printing and circulating those base docu-
ments. The Clay Clubs wore organized, they
thought their outposts were well guarded against
Van Buren's forces. And so they might have
been, but the great democratic host, rallied un

their OUTPOST by storm and are now marching with
banners foung the skies, to the strong citidels of
whiggery. The daring Of Young Hickory has
no bounds-hs success has no limts--his trium-
phant career has met with no obstacle. After
having carried by stern, that hitherto "tal Wing"
