OUR NoMINATIoNs.--We are informed that the
Convention in Ann Arbor was very well attended
& resulted in the nomination, for the legislature o.
the ensuing winter of James Nj. Edmunds of Yp-
siIanti; Orrn Parsons of Saline Harvey Chubb
of Arm Arbor ]. G. Leland, of Salem; Mr.
Broherson, of Manchester and Darius Pierce, Of
Lima; With this nomination We are satisfied, and
are no ready to begin the fight. That radical
change in the administration of our State govern
ment is absolutely necessary, our enemies are
driven TO confess. They have for years held un-
disputed sway, have done as seemed good in their
own eyes, and at their late state convention found
it necessary to 'resolve" against the Legislation OF
the few years past, without however giving any
assurance of doing better for years to come. With
regard to candidates, it is distinctly understood
that, if elected they shall Immediately commence
the discharge Of their duty by applying the pfu-
ming knife to State salaries wherever necessary,to
the terms of Legislative sessions, and the entire
amount of Legislative Stationary, to the expen.
ces of law suits and the time spent in useless lli-
cations, and to every abuse which inattenlon on
the part of the people, and corruption on the part
of the rulers, has permitted 10 fasten itself on
the body polite.
Ifihey show an uDwillingness to do this we shall
be the first 10 "repudate" them and commit the
charge 10 more trustworthy hands. But we have
all confidence in their entire willingness, and
therefore march unfnching to the contest.
FAIR PLAY.-The Detroit Advertiser IS very
valuable paPsr; with its course generally we find
no fault. But one thing we have for long time
its editorial scraps compiled from the press gener
ally, commence thus "W learn from the States
man." sthe Journal Informs u.s. I'VE learn from
the Free Press 'Ann Arbor, says the Argus is
situated &c. if any thing is 'learned from the Sen
Inel,' it is inserted without the least credit, as if
original 10 the Advertiser. We have observed
this long, and are at length led to speak of it, by
seeing in our exchanges from the interior, an ar
,cle, concerning own place, thus surreptitious-
ly obtained, credited to the Advertiser alone.-
What may have led the Advertiser to this course,
whether chagrin at whatever success its "a
gent" may have had in procuring subscribers in
this vicinity by the assertion that that paper would
come here free of Postage or some other cause.
we know not and care not; all we ask is fair play.
SYMPATHY FOR CRIMINALS phases Of
this morbid Authorization prevalent at the pres
ent day, are frequently too ridiculous, f the SUBJ
ject be not too seriously to be met with any argu-
ment but rdcule. Here is an instance in the
case of Grin De Wolf, convicted at Worcester.
Mass. of the murder of Stiles with whose wife
he had formed "Crim. con-. "rand for whom par
don had been solicited. Before the committee of
pardon, his counsel, Mr.. Thomas made the fol-
lowing plea.
That De Wolf was seduced by Sules' wife. and
induced to murder him, that in pursuance of this
design, he induced him to drink TO intoxication,
and then lett him to perish by freezing. That af
erward his heart relented and he covered him with
Buffalo Robes to protect him from the cold. That
Stiles aferward. partially sober, arose, lie Wolf
ordered him to lie down again. but he refusing
De Wolf seized him with the intention of forcing
him to lie down, and in SO doing, used more vio-
ence than he intended which caused his death by

fit of clergy, and thus repels the charge that he
