SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

1 lie signs of the times indicate that the people will rise in their might on the second I uesday in October, and hurl from*power so utter oblivion those false Representatives who have attempted to nationalize slavery, and to fasten it upon the people of Kansas, in the face of the known and often-expressed i will of four-fifths of the voters of that TerI ritory. A great revolution has been going | on throughout the country, and it will he ' expressed at the ballot-box in thunder tones* astonished and huckstering politicians, who will learn, to their sorrow and shame | that the voice of this people trill he heard \ when a great wrong is being perpetrated, | bapked up by the President and his hundred millions of patronage. The blood of the patriots of .’76 still courses through the veins ; of the American people; they now love free- ] do in as well as ever, and the public pulse ; will leap as of oh! when their rights are in- . j vaded by usurpers in office, be they Kings ;or Presidents. -The watch-word— Liis ely—sounds as sweetly in their ears to-day as it [did in the days of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson. Indiana vvilf nobly redeem herself in the j present contest. We will hazard our reputation as a close observer of passing events on this’assertion. Every Republican Con- ! gressmau from this State will be returned, i In addition to this, the opposition will elect ; Davis in the Eighth District, Hovey in the First, and Wilson in the Third, (English’s District.) We also believe that Porter will carry the -f ndianapolis District, and Hackle man the Fourth. We will gain, we honestly believe, Jive members of Congress in Indiana tliis tall. This will be glory enough j for one year, and by 1860 Democracy will ( he placed hopelessly in the minority. Illinois will undoubtedly scud an unbroken ! Anti-Lecompton delegation to Congress. I The .signs of the times-indicate that not one | triend of tiie Administration will be sent to Congress from that State. In Ohio, which is alvvav’s right when the test comes, tlie prospects are equally ilatterI ing. Of course, every district which elected ] a Republican two years ago will do so again ■ this year; and Gurley will; we believe, be*' | elected in the First, Day in the Second. ( larke in the Highland, and <-'use in the-Co I unibus' District. There may be gains in- ; ether districts in that State, but we do not ieel sufficient ly posted to express, an opinj ion. The other Western States will do i their duty. The people are wide awake to the import- - ] anew ot electing good men to office in this crisis, and they will, do it —and irrespective ol i party, w hich is right and patriotic. We j hope that every man, whatever party lie fe- ; longs to. will closely scrutinize every name | on his ticket, and if he finds rule he believes j not to be holiest arid capable, scratch him. ; Everything indicates that this course w ill be pursued by the people next October.
