not propose here 70 repeat the arguments IN favor
Of this measure Of prevention. We prefer rather
TO call the attention OF our readers to series OF
Resolutions passed by the late WIG NOMINATING
Convention Of W-ashtenaw County, Michigan. The

P,s9ir,d That all State officers without distinction.
ought to be elected by the people and that Senators and
Representatives. ought to be chosen by single Districts
We publish the last three of these resolutions
mainly 70 show what arraDt demagogues and
radicals according to the WaI-street estimate,
these Western Wings arc. We leave them all 10
speak for themselves They have little need OF an
interpreter.
We now offer some OF the excellent resolutions
passed by the LpCOf OtO Illuminating Cpt'' N'''i'
Of the same County the 18th ult. The two Sc

We would also fix attention on the tact (which
otherwise. we apprehend might be suffered to sink
into oblivion) that at the last General Meeting OF
the Loco. Focos Of this City at Tammany Hall held
on the eve of our late Election, the following reso
luton was proposed mot by the regular wire-pul-

Quantities 10 the actual settler and real cutvator
We trust the new Members of Congress from
this City will not forget the passage OF these reso
lutions We will take care that they shall not.
= But what use to discuss this question IN
Wing paper is inquired; are not the Wings
generally opposed to all elemental Reforms and
faithless that any good may thereby be effected
We answer, That remains to be seen. We be-
lieve they quite as ready to support true re-
forms as their opponents; if they are not, we mean
that they shall be. When Brougham stood up 10
advocate the Parliamentary Reform bill in the
VIGOROUSLY hostile House Of Lords he in substance
said--''I constrained tell you. my Lords, that
through this House, or orer this House, Reform
icM be carried, So is it now and here with many
Reforms of which the necessity is not vet as gene
rally realized by the wealthy and the cultivated as
they ere long will be. So is it emphaticaliy with
regard to land Reform, Let labor on in pa
thence and in hope.
