From the ecsasies into which the wing papers are
thrown by the result OF the election in this Congressional
district you might suppose that the State had deserted
The democratic party and gone oseI 70 the wings and
aboonsls. So far from this, the democratic party was
never stronger and 6rmer than at this moment as the
true result shows, and as every candid man in the State
we'll knows The wings, .soilers, and abolitioniss
became fused together, and ran the same ticket and
what is the RESULT
We have two-thirds and OF the State legisla-
tureprobaby A democrats TO ~ wings and coadusors
in the house. and 10 democrats to wings, &c.. the
senate and we had never uer democrats than those al
this time.
We have carried the whole State ticket by an average
dental election, the Taylor and Van Buren, vote was
$500 more than that for Cass.

Mr.. Busl.
The preceding letter from Detroit is calculated to set
Michigan right in her general position Everything in
that quarter would be bright il il were not for the defeat
Of MIR. Buell. He has fallen martyr to the truth. He
has been sacrificed by an unholy coalition between the
wings and the abolitionists
Let it be proclaimed that the wings Of Michigan have
at last merged themselves in the abolition party and
that they have trumphsd by the aid Of northern fanat
ssm. We are surprisedat Mr.. BuePs defeat. We un
ersand that when he landed in Detroit seemed to
doubt his election by majority Of at least 1900 He had
been unanimously renomnated the first ballot the very
day before his arrival Two days afterwards the wings
nominated formal candidate. as well understood
BY all parties In three days afterwards fugitive slave
was TAKEN which brought sudden and extraordinary
excitement, and il was evident from that moment that
his defeat was probable event. for the reasons that the
abolitonists would Immediately seize upon the excite
men make the wing candidate their candidate and that
the wings would then convert their formal into real
candidate, encouraged by the combination. Infam.

that there was not time sufficient to correct the gross
misrepresentation Of the fugtvesave law. In Detroit
the humbug was well understood before the elections
reaction had commenced and that city gaze him The
largest majority Which had eper before been giuen for
any individual The words "fugilive-save law" were
scarcely mentioned Detroit the day of the election
but in the country and the interior portions OF the district
information necessarily progressed too sowy for there
was not time sufficient to make the law properly under
stood by the people II turns out that is4s Mr. Buel had
been elected by plurality merely, whilst the abolition
candidate received nearly 5000 votes This latter vote and
the usual wing substantially combined against
him at the recent election We lay before our readers
copy OF Mr. Pennman's letter. The election proceeded
upon the sole issue arising from Mr. Bues vote on the
fugitive slave law. No other issue OF any kind what
ever was raised against him. Thus it is that he
has fallen for that had been honestly given to
sustain the constitution, to carry out in good faith the
compromise measure as a whole, and, in fact, for his
noble efforts to restore peace to divided country, and
place the stability Of happy Union upon the solid
basis OF fraternity between its various sections. Fallen
as he IT, Mr. Buel has this consolation that he could not
have fallen in more noble and sacred cause and
are satisfied that he IL now happy-yes, twice happy
in the consciousness OF having been aciuated in giving
his vote by generous and patriotic motives. He
lows the consciousness OF having done his duty
sectional man, but peace man, as a Cancellation
man. as Union man-not as representative OF part
but OF the whole Union.
The result in Michigan so be dePlored from the in
auence which may exert upon the public sentiment Of
the North and still upon the public sentiment Of
the South Yet we are assured that there will be a
change Many wings are already beginning to shrink
back from viewing the work Of their unholy combna-
,on and they see their victory but little else than future
defeat and disgrace;
