IS from the last annual Report of the state
OF religion in this body :-EmGneipatOr.
"The causeof Anti-Slavery, especially,
has gained a noble triumph within our
bounds. Our ministers generally, so far
as our information extends, have espoused
the cause of immediate and universal
emancipation, and the subject is awaken
ing very general interest, and getting
deep hold upon the hearts and consciences
OF the members Of our churches. The
happy exemption we enjoy from thediVis-
ions and alterations which the agitation
OF this sui Iect is occasioning 1.-THE church
es of some of the older States, is to be as
cribed, we think, in part, TO the noble
stand taken by the ministry, and in part
TO other cooperating causes"
MIcHIGAN-THE YEARLING STATE.
We perceive by the Detroit Free Press
of the 1 lth, that this State numbers 49,
308 souls, and gave 1866 votes for Gov
ernor at the late election, being one vote
for six persons. The most intesesting ex-
hibit, by the same paper, is the "wheat
produce of Michigan the present year"
taken by order of the Secretury of State
with the census. In round numbers, &" it
will fall a fraction short of one million
five hundred thousand bushels"
The aggregate quantity of oats is set
down at 100000 bushels; ditto of corn,
100000 bushels.
