BEFORE AND AFTER.

The Washington Union, few days before the cleo
ton in New York, said that the reelection Of Gov
Wright was intimately identified acith the pros
pcrity Of the Democratic party" Since the cleo.
ton the Union says that its party has not been
beaten on the ground of national politics." 1t is
rather too late in the day to take the latter ground
and, in fact, we find acknowledgment, in the
same number of the Union, that the uerdict of the
people has been given against the Administration.
The official journal says: From the recent YER
diets of Pennsylvania and New York, we appeal
with an assured trust to the sober second thought
of the peope'" When the new trial takes
place, we have no doubt the uerdict will be trium-
phantly confirmed. -.4Lerandria Gazette.

MICHIGAN ELECTION.

We are sorry to say that there was no just foun.
dalton for the unexpected and very favorable first
reports which we had Of the late election in the
State Of Michigan. The more reliable accounts as.
sure us that the Wings have made some gains in
members of the State Legislature but our political
adversares will still retain large majority in both
branches, which will enable them to elect United
States Senator; and, what is more, they have also
carried all their candidates for Congress, so that
there will be no change in the political complexion
of the Congressional Delegation from that State.

THE WAR.-The New York. Courier & Enqu-
rer Of Tuesday confirms the statement that 81 letter
writers from Washington concur in saying that no
more steps will be taken by the Administration to-
wards prosecuting the war until Congress assem-
bles, when the whole matter will be submitted 10
the action of that body es.,g.s
This (says the Courier) is a very exact copy Of
the Presidents course upon the Oregon question.
The whole subject was plunged into the utmost
confusion and difficulty prodigious effort was
made to arouse spirit in favor of the ''whole
on none;'' angry feelings had been excited upon
both sides Of the Atlantic; and then the entire re-
sponsibty Of settling the trouble was thrown upon
the Senate. That body, however, did not shrink
from its duty, even in this crisis, and to its firm and
straightforward action are the country and the
world indebted for peace with England.
We are glad, however, Continues the Courier
and Enquirer that even at this late day the Presi-
dent is willing to consult and be guided by Con-
gress We have no fear that that body will ever
sacrifice the honor or the interests of the country
The correspondent of the New Orleans Del
ta," writing from Monterey under date of October
18th, says
"An express arrived here from Washington on
the evening of the 10th instant fifteen days from
+ Washington, as learn, with instructions to the
commanding General TO prosecute The Uar With
rene0ed Uigor therefore, we have every reason
to believe that soon as supplies can be got
here, the army will probably direct its attention
towards Linares, as that town does not come with
in the line of the armistce.''
Linaes lies nearly due east from Monterey, distant about
hundred miles, according maps, and is situate
the angle where the road down the river off and joins
the road to Tampco.
The instructions referred to in this letter from
Monterey, as our readers were given to understand
in our last, have, SO far at least as they were Pc
remptory or positive, been revoked.

WISCONSIN CONVENTION noticed not long
since, some of the absurdities into which the Lo-
cofocos of the Wisconsin Convention are madly
rushing. To-day we have new batch which
cannot but surprise every body On the 10Th ulti-
mo Mr.. CRAWFORD, from select committee, to
whom was referred the resolution in regard to the
collection of debts, reported the following pro-
visions
"Sec l. There shall be no law imposed within this State
for the collection of debts Of less than hun
dred dollars contracted within this State after the adoption
this constitution.
Sec q The Legislature shall have power any
law for the collection Of debts contracted within this State,
less than hundred dollars, after the adoption of
this constitution"
What will become of the printers, the butchers,
the shoemakers, the blacksmiths-ins short of every
body who has little debts to collect-if these propo-
sitions are TO find place in the constitution?
Among the resolutions offered for the considera-
ton Of this body Of wiseacres the following by
Mr.. CHASE:
Resolved That is cxpedent for this Convention to limit
the Of real which any person may hold or own
within the State of Wisconsin.
Why stop at real estatef I" asks the Milwau-
kie Sentinel. !" The Convention have just as much
right to say how much personal estate man shall
own. And besides, this article will be incomplete
unless Mr. Chase also provides that, if any person
gets more than his share, he shall hand over the
surplus to his neighbor. We move this as an
amendment TO Mr.. Chase's resolution"
