Messrs Coo, Howard Jones, Mayhew Kellogg and
Miller have been hitherto known as the staun chest
Wbigs, while Messrs. bingham, Mckinney, lioloes
and Treadwe have acted independent Of OLD political
organizations for few years past. Mr.. Bingham,
the Gubernatorial nominee, was formerly Demo-
cratic Member of Congress but coull bot swallow the
Pierce nomination in 1852, preferring John Z. Hale.
Mr.. Mckinney WAS until quite recently follower of
Gen. Cas-. but Nebraska was too much for him, aud
he joined the grand army Of Freedom. Mr. Tread
well is en- or nal Free. Soer and is Mr.. Holmes,
who. we believe, was a Wing several years ago.
The last hope of the Nebraskaes peri-hed with the
failure Of the Wing state Convention 10 nominate
separate State ticket, was anticipated by TIE De-
tron Fee Press, AHegah Record and other Cass-Ne'
braska organs. Michigan will be added 10 the con-
stcllaton of Freedom in November, side by side with
her sister States Of the North West consecraed to
Freedom by the JcfFersouian ordinance ofl7'7.
Gen Cass and the most OF Gen. Pierce's Office
holders endcav oring TO arrest this GLORIOUS result
but we have too much confidence in the great mass OF
the people of Michigan to suppose that they can lend
Themselves to the Vaccinations of the tlave power.

should be drawn together into one organization. he
adbeies firmly 20 the solemn compromises, made a.
the formation Of the Constitution aud since ITS adop-
ton. Without compromises, he says, the Union
never could have been formed. In regard to the
compromises the subject Of slavery, he thioks the
North bad right to rely on the plighted word ct the
South but that this reliance has been destroyed by
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. In accord
ance with these sentiments he accepts the nomioation
