THE RErrRss-We have not been able to obtain vc-
ry definite returns Of the elections for delegates to the
State convention from any county but this, which gave
majority of 525 for the admission ticket. Monroe, of
course, has gone against admission, but ticket
was run.
Washtenaw, Oakland and Macomb, reported to
have gone against admission.
Calhoun has gone in favor OF admission by small
majority.
St Joseph has gone for admission, corrcspon.
dent says, by majority of two to one The township
OF White Pigeon, gave majority OF % for admission.
Berren has probably gone against admission. A let
ter from Niles says that the election in that town result
ed in majority Of 16S for the ticket opposed to adis
sion.
ST Clair has elected delegate, himself in imSor of
admission but still nsructed-if vote of mo u2nn the
tickets may be considered as instructons-to dissent
Our correspondents in the interior all concur in
ing that very few votes pocd in proportion the
number Of voters
The ELEcTIoS-The returns of the election cf De-
legates to the State Convention come in slowly
Enough however, have been received to render quite
probable that majority of the candidates supported by
the dissen.ers have prevailed large minority OF the
Convention, however, will be Democratic. The Wings
have succeeded in making enough OF our Democratic
friends believe that the question had no party bearing
to obtain the support of their dsscnlers tickets and carry
a majority of their candidates. We do not, however
yet despair of proper determination of the issue. We
entertain confident hope that the Convention will not
adjourn without giving the necessary assent an assent
which shall not rclnquish any constitutional rights we
may possess, but which, at the same time, shall Justify
the President in issuing the Proclamation required to
place equal footing with the members OF the
American Union.
OF the Wing portion Of The Delegates, which will
constitute but minority of the Convention, have
hope Having been elected to the Convention expressly
10 suhserve personal and party objects, their action in
that body will be governed solely by regard 10 the per-
sonai interests and political prospects OF their leaders
HE designs OF the Federal politicians in endcav urnr to
Procure an unqualified rejection othe terms admission
is to promote their own political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; and
they will not agree to any qualified assent however be-
nefcal it may be 10 Michigan, which will defeat their
Vaccinations. Their object is lave one more on,or
sunty get into powee and they arc prepared to set
every thing afoa and plunge tnaDt State into INV
difficulties which they Imagine Will enable them ~ cT.c
their object.
But we do rely with confidence upon the Republican
members who will constitute MAJORITY Of the convrn
tiou to bring about happy termination OF this cues
ton and see that the State and the party TO which they
belong receive no detrment at the hands Of the drsu
inp Wings. And for this hope we look particularly o
,hS, norton of the republican delegates who have been
chosen without reference TO party considerations and
who have not regarded the questions as having po
cal bearing They, united with those of their repuG
enn friends who were elected by the democratic party
on polca grounds, will make up decided majority in
the conventon and if they will consult with each other
in the proper spirit, and harmonze together they will
have the control of the question in their hands
And we believe they will so unite and harmonize The
policy of the leading Wing members of the convention
ss we have before said will be- throw every thing per
tanning to our State affairs into chaos and disorder with
The hope and for the object, of putting down the demo-
eracy; and we will not believe for moment that any
nortion of the republicans will suffer themselves know
snply to be made instrumental in the accomplishment Of
such q purpose.
; lei ua not be misunderstood. We do not intend, in
onr remarks to advise to any course which shall pro-
o,e the interests of the Democratic party at the
Nce of those of the State. Such step would be folly
