DETROIT, Mich, Marcel

DETROIT, Mlch., March D. TSW.
The democratic party have carried the city coun-
Gil, the wings the Mayor, by majority Of votes,
at furthest; and if some disputed votes allowed
the democratic candidate, that majority will be
duced to either two. This result shows a
change since last spring Of 5O7 votes the mayor
ticket in favor Of the democ ratio.
1t is proper to state that the wing tickets were
headed the " Harrison ticket;" and this is the
first election which has been held in a large town
since his nomination. it is indicative OF the feelings
of the people (upon his nomnation) residing near
his great battle grounds.

The CANADAs ON THE VERGE OF REVOLUTION.
We are informed and believe that both the Cana
das, and part of the other British Provinces, are
preparing to separate from England, peaceably
if they can, forcby if they must Both parties are
beginning to favor this view. 1t is now believed
that separation from England, and union OF the
whole British North American Provinces in one re-
public would increase the value of property of all
kinds at least 81 per cent in year Take for in
stance Upper Canada and New Brunswick. In both,
the soil is good-yet on the American side the land
is worth 30 to 80 per cent than the British
side. 20 mistake in facts.

HARRISON AND REFORM is raging over Massa-
chusett5 like fire that runs over the Praries of
the west, sweeping every thing before them.
In Roxbury, where the loco fOcos had for three
years elected their town officers, the Wings tri-
uInphed at the recent election by majority of
27S. In Quincy, where the loco focos last fall had
majority Of %, the Wings have now a majority
of 49, la Bradford where the two parties last fall
were exactly balanced, the Wings are now trium-
plant bya majority of l0l. Andover, that went
strongly for the enemy last fall is most thoroughly
revolutiOnzed Medford, that went for Morton by
majority Of 100, is now a wing strong hold.
WrentLam, that gave Morton a majority of IL,
now gives a wing majority OF 80 In Lowell, the
Wing gain il 226. In Worcester it is 70. In Dor
chester 55. In Salem As, In Taunton, Governor
Moston's Own town, 40.
In every town that we have lere enumerated, the
loco focos up to the day of the recent election
were confident and boosted Of success They strug-
gled hard Tor it, but their strength was shivered
like glass. Loco fOcOiSm was annihilated in Mass
achusetts. It attempted TO stand too high in its
shoes and Inc wings made it head shorter. The
reaction of public sentiment is like the surging
a mighty tide. General Harrison's majority in thu
Old Bay State will be overwhelming RepuhH
can.
