STATE CONVENTION.

To-day we lay the proceedings Of tho State
Convention before our readers. The names of
tho candidates nominated are placed at the head
our editorial columns. The nominees are all IA
vorably known to tho people of Western Michi-
gam better and moro judicious nomination
could not have been made for the party and true
interest of the people of the west. The election
for member of Congress takes place on the
TWENTY. FIRST and TWENTY-SECOND
DAYS OF THIS MONTH. 1t will be busy
time with our farmers we know, but they tell us
from different parts Of the county that all will
turn out. The movement of the wings has excl
ted them to action. Ifthe Farmers, tho main-stay
of the country, make general turn out on this
occasion, we have nothing to fear from any OPP
position that can be raised against the Democrat
ic candidate, Isaac E. CRARY. His political prin-
cples arc known to all of us to be of the old JEFF
fersonian stamp-he is a western man, being
resident of Colhoun, an adjoining county, and
consequently his interests arc closely identified
with the interests and general welfare of western
Michigan.
Mr.. CRARY rs a citizen, is plain upright and
honorable man-as politician, he is a firm and
unwavering Dcmocrat-he is none of your Fed
erals to-day and Democrats TOMORROW, to suit
circumstances, but true to the lctter--as man
oftalents Mr.. Crazy may have his equals, but few
if any superiors in Michigan. We extract the
following article from tho Daily Free Press,
which clearly shows Mr.. Crary's standing in tho
eastern part of the state:
"Three or four weeks from this time the peo-
pie of Michigan will be called upon to elect
Representative to Congress from this State
The election is very important one, for it is the
person then chosen on whom is to devolvo the
high and responsible duty of taking charge. of the
interests of this State in the House of Reprcsen-
tatives. AT the next Congress measures of great
importance to the whole West will most certain
y be submitted to that body for consideration;
ana it will be necessary that we should send a
Representative there who enjoys tho confidence
of the adminis.. cation, and can cooperate eff
GENTLY with the Democratic members of the west
in promoting western interests.
As the republican candidate to- this Office, the
Democratic State Convention, to Which,, the duty
Of selection was entrusted, have nominated ISAAC
T.. CRARy, the late incumbent. In making him
the object of their choice, the Convention cx-
pressed not only what they conceived the clear
decided wishes OF their constituents but also their
own sense of his qualifications for the station.
Mr.. Crary, from his earliest residence in Michi-
gan, has been uniformly identified with the cause
of the people in contcnding for the ascendancy
of the Democratic party. With just appre-
citation of his talents and liberal principles, the
Democrats of Calhoun chose him as one of their
delegates TO assist in forming the Constitution of
this State, and it is high but deserved praise of
him to say, that no was one of the ablest memt ers
of that distinguished body. The liberal features
which the democratic members of the Convcn-
ton struggled to incorporate into the Constitu-
ton, found in him on all occasions n firm sup
porter and an eloquent advocate. And, for his
services at home in behalf Of their cause the peo-
plc elected him thoir first Representative to Con-
gress. Although he had not during his term the
opportunity of taking a seat only few days at
tho close of the last session, he still participated
largely in the confidence Of the Administration
and its friendsin Congress, and exerted with them
favorable influence in obtaining their support
of the important measures of the friends of Mchi-
gan. Such, briefly skctched, are the qualifica-
tons and public services of the democratic can
didatc for Congress-"
