WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1896.
GENERAL COUNTY CONVENTION.

0rThe citizens of st. Joseph county, ia
vorable to accepting the proposition made
by Congress TO the people of Michigan,
are requested to meet in Convention at
Centreville, on Tuesday next, the Goth inst.
for the purpose Of nominating four delegates,
to be elected on the 9Th and 9th of Decem-
Der, to State Convention to meet at Ann
Arbor on the 18th December, in confor-
nifty to a request in the circular from the
committee of Wayne county. Besides
the nominations contemplated, it is purpo-
sed to memorabilia Congress for repeal
of that part of the law of June Is, 1886,
which requires the assent of Michigan, pre-
vious to admission into the Union. The
Importance Of a punctual attendance, it is
hoped, may be generally appreciated
as set forth in the above mentioned circu-
lar. Nov. %, 1886.
Constantine republican. [volume] (Constantine, Mich.) 1836-1838, 1836-11-23

meetings, to elect delegates, double the number
Of it's representation in the legislature. We hope
the accommodation, in oil its formality, will be
complied with. in every county,-so that the
convention may assemble as proposed, at Ann
Arbor, on the 18th day Of December; in order
that the altered boundaries established by the act
for the conditional admission Of Michigan "shall
elected by the people of said state for the sole
purpose of giving the assent therein required"
in time to secure the benefits TO be derived from
being one of the United States, on the first of
January. Es
The suggestion in the last paragraph Of the
circular, is specially important, in relation to q
memorial TO congress, from each county conven-
ton which may assemble to nominate delegates,
asking a repeal of SO much of the law of June
Is, as requires our assent; for reservation OF
that portion of the moneys which would fall to
us as a state of the Union, in case of compliance.
Even should the new attempt for admission fall
the prospect for favorable hearing on one or
both of these petitions, will render the contem.
plated effort very important. If our infant state
then. has the least CLEAN of hope for relief from
her present dilemma, surely the sovereign people,
ought 70 embrace the earliest opportunity to sc.
cure it. Then let every citizen who has par
ticlc of self interest in his own prosperity any
PRIDE in the honor and welfare of the state of
Michigan, use his influence and his privilege in
the right scale, on this occasion, and all will be
well--a sickly uncertainty speedily changed for.
fiourishing and healthful reality.

elaboration, with feelings more suspicious TO the
general welfare, inasmuch as there could be no
occasion for those party and personal feelings
ever engendered in political contests, and believ
ing also that much Of the prosperity Of our be-
loved state depends upon its admission into the
union prior to the first day of January next
Therefore Resoired, That his excellency, the
Governor of this state, be requested to take such
measures as to him may seem most proper for cal
ling another convention, of delegates for the pur-
pose of giving the assent required by the act of
congress, so that our admission into the union
may be perfected before the first day Of January
next.
RESOLVED, That the Hon. Silas Finch, Will
lam X. Thompson, esq, and DR.. Samuel Denton,
be committee to wait upon his excellency the
Governor, with the proceedings of this meeting.
The following resolutions were also adopted:
Resolped, That as the county Of Washtenaw
aided more than any other county in placing
the state of Michigan in its present awkward and
embarrassed situation, it we'll becomes the citi-
zens of this county to take the lead in any meas
ure calculated TO hasten the admission of this
state into the union, previous to the Fl rst day of
January next; and that the overwhelming ma
jority which has been given in favor of admission
1t the late election is gu iritee that the great
body of electors Of this county are anxious to
wipe off the stain fixed upon Michigan, and in an
especial manner upon this county, by the decis-
ion of the September convention and to render
such tardy justice to the pcople of Michigan as is
yet in their power.
Rssolped, That although congress has given
to Ohio the land for her Maumee canal without
the consent of Michigan, yet it now depends up
on the people themselves to say whether they will
make Michigan furnish Ohio with the money to
construct it. iHer
Resolped, That one thousand copies of the
nroceedings of this meeting be publishec for pen-
eral distribution.

u Our exchange files give results of the late
elections of presidential electors, very contra
dictory, that we cannot yet como to any certain
conclusion in regard to the majorities in PennsyI.
vania and New York. Ohio is believed to have
gone for Harrison, by about the same vote that
made the wing governor in October. -.
The New York Times gives the result of 81
counties in Pennsylvania, as 4044 in favor of Mr..
Van Buren,, and thirteen counties to be heard
from, which may increase the majority. ~
New-York city has given Mr.. Van Buren, a
small majority, the democratic vote having been
reduced by local divisions. The Rochester wing
paper yields him the state in wonted candor
In the FIVE counties of old Connecticut hoard
from, Hartford, New-Havcn, Litchfiold, Fairfield
and Middlesex, Mr.. Van Buren's majority is 565,
and the state is considered safe for him at a ma
jority of 500.

sufficient accuracy to decide who is to fill "Old
liickory's" seat on the fourth of March next.

DETROIT, Nov. IL, 1886.
Sir:--I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of the proceedings of meeting of tn
citizens af the county OF Washtenaw, through
the medium Of delegates appointed for the pur.
pose, requesting me to take such measures for
calling another convention, with the design OF
giving tn, assent required by the act of congress
of June Is, 1895, so That the admission of the
state, into the union, may be perfected prior to
tho first diy ofJanuary next. My attention had
been previously called to the subject by convcn
ton Of delegates for the county of Wayne and
with an anxious desire to discharge any duty in.
cumbent upon me where tho interests of the
state are in question, have endeavored to give
it tn, consideration and reflection, which its i'm.
portance seems to demand.
IL is not my province, hero to cntcr into dis
cussion of the elltive merits of the question of
admission, or non-admission of the state into Tn
union, upon the terms prescribed by tho act of
congress. The subject has long been placed be.
70. c tho people, has been fully discussed and is
no doubt, now understood by them.
Tho object to BIO attained by an admission into
the union previous to the first day of January is,
to enable tn, state to receive that portion OF the
public deposits and tho revenue derived from the
sale Of public lands, which would be assigned to
Michigan if a state of the confsderacy by that
period. She would receive from those sources
revenue, amounting TO between five and six hum
drcd thousand dollars. The loss of this to the
people Of Michigan, struggling as they are, under
all the cmbarrassmcnts incident to tho CON-
menccment aud early operations of the govern
mont OF an infant state, will prove unfortunate in
its consequences. The benefits to the state, re-
sulting from its use in the public improvements
Of the country will READILY occur 10 cyery citizen.
That Michigan will lose this fund IL not admit
ted into the union by tho first of January, is now
placed beyond the possibility Of cavil or Doubt

MEXICO.
VERA CRUZ, Oct. 1st. 1886.

Ehh ShUL, OCls ioLs lOoos
The new brig of war built at Baltimore
for this government, of 367 IONS, arrived
at this port on the 22d Sept, via Turks
Island. She is certainly beautiful mod
ell, and has the reputation of sailing re-
markably fast. This vessel has brought
out her full armament and provisions for
six months cruise, and will be at once put
in readiness for sea--intended to mount IS
pound grenades to be placed under the
command of Capt. Wise, who is also
to be invested with the command of the
squadron now undergoing repairs at Cam
peche.
General Bravo has been appointed to the
command Of the army destined for the
north, said to be ten or twelye thousand
strong. A detachment of 1000 troops UNI
der command of General Guarray, was to
have left Mexico for the north on the 18th
ult., but the troops refused to march, on the
grounds of not having received their pay.
Within few days past the Government
has raised a loan Of 100000, which will
enable it to put their warriors on the march
for Texas. The Ex-President Bustemeo-
ii, who was some years since subjected to
Punishment from this country has been, as
stated, invited to return. He is expected
from France daily, and will possibly be re-
appointed to the Presidency, in place of the
present incumbent, and is thought to be the
only man of the present dynasty ofthe Mex.
lean republic, competent to assume the
reins of Government.
The central system is at this time, by the
aid of the clergy and the sword, strong,
and, in my opinion, likely to stand for
some time, although against the wish.
