US and see what kindly thoughts we entertain for

quired was from an old file of papers smaller than
the '.Sentine," and printed before we were born,
and we say immortal honors to good newspapers.
There is however this State one man to whom
we do not mean this TO apply. We conversed
with him not long since. and the following is the
substance of his sentiments. We inquired if he

INSTRUMENTATION short motto but
significant one.-It is however in the wrong
months when it is heard from office holders and
their "organs." We wish to hear it in the mouths
of the office givers, the people, as rallying cry
for the Ides of November next. Voters, your
governor receives now 81 500 per year for his
services at the time that salary was fixed, such
was the estimated value ofproperty, that many of

AND NO STATIONARY. In this manner pass
through tie entire list of employees from the gov
ernor of the State to the rackw alkers Of the rail-
roads carefully avoiding any injustice, but redu-
cling their pay. This is Retrenchnaent.
Voters and taxpayers, your servants. many OF
them have 10 times past, and not year past either

The time for which you pay them to look after
your interests, mhich they haze taken an oath so to
do they have spent in filthy and disgusting debau-
cherries, rendering them unfit for the duties you
had assigred them.
Choose next November men in whom you can
confidently hope tor better things. Choose men
whose sense of propriety will lead them to erpel
the unworthy member who shall. contrary to the
hope of his constituents disgrace the entire body.
THIS Is THE BEST REFORM.
MORE NAvIGAr1oN.--We notice that the citi-
zens of Ypsilanti Mich, have appointed COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Edmonds, Buckbee
and VanFossen to adop: measures to render the
Huron River navigable for commercial purposes,
from that place to Gibraltar, on the Detroit River
The Huron is undoubtedly capable OF thus being
made navigable, but as the distance is only some
80 miles, and as the Central Railroad passes thro'
Ypsilanti, we see no great advantage to be gain
ed from consummation of this measure, and we
should not think the business would warrant the
expense of The undertaking.
Could the Pilot visit Ypsiianti and travel Gown
the river TO Gibraiter we inclined to think his
opinion of this work would be changed. The OBJ.
ject is not Navigation merely, but to open the
cheapest and most convenient thoroughfare through
