~ We find, on further investigation, that we
were altogether correct in our opinion of the
views of the dissentcrs from the proposition of
congress, on the admission question, given in
our last. 1t remains, Nth them, after all the
procrastination and anxiety of whole year, and
after the absolute rejection of the only condition
offered at the end of a long session of congress,
but the easiest thing in nature to hush all per-
plexities to quietus, at single step, and bring
upon Michigan at once, ere the chill frosts Of
winter come the halcyon and quiet days of a
smiling sister in the Union. Why--her mem.
bers have only to take their seats in congress-
and-'ts done-the agony the Bourbons
restored!"
The sheriff of Monroe, the very head quarters
of the state rights controversy, has given public
notice, that an election will be held in the seve-
raj townships in his county, in pursuance of the
constitution and laws of this state on the first
Monday of November next and the succeeding
day, for the choice Of three Electors Of Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States.
This notice seems to be based on tho opinion that
Michigan is fully vested with the powers and
privileges of one of the United States---clse,
where would be the sense or consistency of such
an official call upon the people of a county,
In maintenance of the same views, a rsspecta.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.

lhTOh l. AIN In ELLllIENCE.
0@T- We have been furnished by the act
ing Governor with the following copy of a
letter from the Secretary Of the Treasury
to Governor Mason; by which it will be
seen that our predictions about the loss of
Michigan's share Of the surplus revenue,
and ofthc five per cent. on the nett pro.
ceeds of the sales Of public lands, are a.
bout to be realized. We were told by tho
leaders Of this now-fnngled party, who but
yesterday were madly rejoicing over their
anticipated mischief which reckless ambi-
tion and blind infatuation were about to
bring upon us, that we should receive these
moneys-that the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry would pay them over. They amount
by Mr.. Woodbury's estimate TO half mill.
ion of dollars, which is for ever lost to
Michigan for we are authorized to say
that both the President and the Secretary OF
the Treasury have lately stated that in the
division among the states on the first of
January next no reservation Of funds
could be made for Michigan TO be paid at
a future day, but that the whole amount
would be irrevocably lost to us.

our friends at distance, who purchased Constan-

property worth all it ccst them, and enough be-

The scay of the Sheep. Sicaler is hard.
"A young thief named J. Alverson, died
in our county Jail yesterday morning.
victim of his own evil propensities. 1t is
supposed that Alverson had stolen from DIFF.
ferent farmers in this county, no less than
one hundred sheep since the first of Febru-
airy. On Sunday night he visited pasture
in Hartwich, in which were flock Of about
one hundred and twenty sheep, owned by
Mr.. Philip Lawson. During the last week
brother of Mr.. Lawson had arrived at his
house on visit and had with him large
bulldog, which had been well trained by
him, and which he valued very highly. 1t
appears that the dog must have been at.
tractcd to the sheep pasture during the
night, which is about half mile distant
from Mr.. LIS dwelling, by the disturbance
made by the thief In the morning the dog
being absent, Mr.. Lawson felt somewhat
anxious and it was o o'clock before the
faithful animal was discovered. He was
found by lad in Mr.. L. employ, lying be-
side the insensible body of Alverson, and
beside him also lay a fine fat weather, with
his legs tied. Alverson, was so badly Bit
ten in his struggles with the dog, that he
died of his wounds soon after being given
into custody. The dog had bitten through
his wrist, and through one Of his hands:
and he had severe bite on the back Of the
neck, which it is supposed caused his death.

Monument at Dade's Battle Ground
The proceedings of number Of the officers
of the army in Florida, which will be found
in this days paper, ann ounce to us their de-
termination to erect monument on the fatal
spot where Dade and his companions met
their untimely end.
If the Seminole war had been happily
terminated with the first campaign, SO that
public attention might have been Withdrawn
from the exciting narration of battles and
skirmishes, we feel assured that this sacred
duty would not have devolved upon the sur
viving officers of those regiments whose
members were thus suddenly cut of. If
Congress had failed to authorize the erec-
ton Of a monument over their remains,
public sympathy and admiration would have
supplied the deficiency. The prompt move-
ment of the officers themselves, has antici-
pated such a step, which sooner or later
would have been adopted by the people.
1t is perhaps as well that officers have taken
the lead.

Possibly our readers may discover in it, though
VIC do not yet, some index TO an equivalent for
the loss, by being kept out of the Union, of the
surplus revenue, of over two hundred thousand
dollars The address, however, appears to be,
by what we observe from slight reading, re-

naughtiness of Ohio,-pretty we'll told. The
