Wing.

This result following closely upon the heels Of the
abrogaton OF the Proviso instructions oil the last egs
lature, shows how complete is the revulson OF public
sentiment in the Peninsuar State this exciting ques-
ton and how entirely sound and reliable are the cons
uents OF Gen. Cass the point which has been made OF
90 much importance in his Had the wings carried
the convention Il would doubt have been claimed in
those quarters reversal OF the recent Of the egs
lature
The result is the more gratifying. inasmuch il is a
victory in many OF the counties over coalition OF wing
cry and "free solism" For example, in Hllsdae county
the regular democratic candidates elected against that
combination, by from 100 TO 900 majority. So in Jack
son county, where the wings and Stree soiers' united
ticket, the regular democratic ticket is elected by
over 600. In Detroit the democratic majority is
ally large The democratic vote ranges from 1,027 10
1855 the wing vote from 100 to o5o One Of the demo
cratic candidates. General Schwarz, is beaten by defec
ton in the single town Of Plymouth the residence OF his
wing opponent, 4. J. Penniman.
The popular verdict in this instance, under the peculiar
circumstances OF the case, will be received with grai
cation all over the Union. Though in itself local affair,
in which the people OF the State are alone directly con.
cened il is and will be regarded Of the most ia
vorabe omens and from the right quarter OF the waning
power OF provsoism to disturb the public tranquillty
10 distract parties, or to convulse the Union.

from the decree of the orphans court for this District
voking the probates OF the wills by which General Kos
ciusko disposed Of his personal property in this country
for charitable purposes and 10 Kosciusko Armstrong the
