WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN THE
PRESENT ELECTION IN THIS Cry 1.-The papers oil
both, or,as you may say, all the factions Of the day
in this city, are calling strenuously on every one
to up to the polls and vote for their respective
tickets They are appealing to all sorts of political
religious, local, sectional, and general preJudices
yet 1t is remarkable that in the rallying cries Of
each and all Of them, there is total absence OF
any reference to any practical measure or practi-
cal principle. We want in this country cheap
postage system-yet which Of the parties make that
an issue We want a repeal Of the absurd and
oppressive militia Lawsuit with the exception OF
few paragraphs in the " native" papers, we have
not met with single allusion to the subject in the
party prints ! Ought mo- these matters of unusual
concernment and practical Importance to be at

The CONTEMPLATED NATIVE" PROCESSION AND
MEETING OF YEsTERDAY.-It was intended by the
native party to form procession and march through
the principal streets yesterday, but the weather
prevented them from making their appearance-the
rain having fallen in torrents during the day. They
will doubtless be found at the polls to-day-the
most effective manner in which they can show
their strength. No meeting Of the native' party
took place, had been advertised, "a stand having
been erected for the purpose in the Park,) in con-
sequence Of the wetness of the day.

briggs that pledged myself to Mr.. j. B. Garland, Of
Saginaw county to refrain from agitang the question Of

proposed such thing. nor was 1t ever offered on my
part.
Equally false is that wrote letter to Mr. Garland
authorship him to make the above statement, or that
wrote letter to Mr. g. containing any reference to such
a statement. As never made such statement to Mr.
Garland and as believe Mr.. Garland to be man Of We
acy therefore believe that Mr. briggs has either mis-
understood Mr.. G., intentionally msrepresented his
