practical good sense of the captain and

ment of their craft.
ReSolred, Sd. That we shall ever re-
member with gratitude the kindness of
the esteemed proprietors ofthc Challenge,
who, not only in this act, but in their
general intercourse with society furnish
an illustration of the fact, that the high

The Michigan Convention.

We begin to think there is to be
North after all. We have the testimony
of eve witnesses that the late Freemen's
Meeting for the State of Michigan, was a
tremendous and enthusiastic demonstra-
ton. Some few of the old-liners attempt
ed to prevent such fusion of the Anti
Slavery clements as was hoped for, but
the voice of the multitude with irresis-
tible strength, swept them like flood
wood ont to sea, and left them floating
there, and demanded and effected a COM
pletc and perfect union. Resolutions de-
handing the repeal of the Fugitive law.
and of the Nebraska swindle, also deman-
ding the matchmaking of slavery and
its abolition wherever under the control
of the general government were adopted.
The Free Sellers who had previously
nominated ticket, withdrew it from the
field, and new nomination was made
Kingsley S. Bingham was nominated for
Governor. and John Mex Kinney for Sec
rotary Of State, both old line Democrats.
No difficulty occurred in agreeing either
upon measures or men, and such was the
hearty good will, the zeal, and determine
alton manifested, that no one entertained
a doubt but the new party would sweep
the state by an overwhelming majority.
We arc encouraged, not only by this,
but by all we see and hear. In 1850.
when the Compromise measures were
passed, every pei son in the North fell to
preaching acquiescencc, and acquiescence
was had. Now. but feeble voice here
and there is lifted to sing that same old
tune, and no disposition whatever to ac-
quieSce is anywhere manifest; on the
contrary, the spirit of opposition seems
to be swelling and growing broader and
deeper every hour.
We expect good demonstration for
this state at Madison on Thursday next.
notwithstanding the unpropitious time
Of the year, and we expect the Party Of
Freedom will prove itsclfto be in hand
some majority in this State as well as in
the North generally.
