State was upwards Of 1000. In Michigan, as in
every other State in the Union, where the pop
party has been losing ground. The people have
been humbuggcd to their hearts content by those
in power, and if the policy of the late admins
tration be pushed much farther by the present
the day Of its power will soon draw TO its close
The people will yet right the wrongs OF the coun'
