The Triumph in Michigan Complete!

u
We copy the following from the Detroit
Free Press;
" The democratic triumph in the State is
complete. The returns come in better and
better. Since the State election in 1S47, the
opposition party has not been so thoroughly
routed. We have certainly carried eight
tenths of the supervisors, and our present i'm
preston is that the democratic popular major
ity will not be less than sir thousand, and it
is very likely TO reach seuen thousand,
This is the first gun of the presidential cam
paign from the Northwest. The glorious
sound booms over the Union, and carries glad
ness to tens of thousands of patriotic hearts.
1t announces the great fact that the REACTION
is fairly under way, and that its progress is
irresistible.
All honor 10 the gallant democracy of Mich
igan. All honor to the party that has admin
istered so wilhering rebuke to fanaticism and
so sternly reprimanded rebellion. All honor
10 the party that has so gloriously upheld the
constitution
1t is triumph of popular sovereignty-of
the Kansas-Nebraska act. 1t is triumph of
RIGHT and JUSTICE. And, too, it is a triumph
of GOOD FAITH-of the faith which binds the
North and the South together.
1t is an occasion of rejoicing. Let US re-
joice."

MAGNIFICENT ExPENsEs.-W ashington is
frequently called the city of ''magn iicent dis
tances." According to the subjoined items, 1t
has become city, also, Of magnificent ex
penses."
We make the following extract (says an Ex-
change paper) from private letter from WASH
ington, relative to the cost of the Capitol ex-
tension and of the aquedlct:
The original cost of the Capitol extension,
estimated by Mr.. Walter, the architect, is
S2675 ,000 Al the time the extension was
made, it was contemplated TO finish the interi-
or iu the same style as the old building. 1t
is now dertermined to finish the interior in
more durable and magnificent style and con-
sequenily it will cost much more. The esti-
mated cost Of the new iron dome is S945, ,00O
The weight of the iron about ZOO tons.
The estimate for completing the aquednct is
$23,000,000. 1t is calculated TO bring into the
city 81 .596 400 gallons of water per day, for
ever, for each dollar expended now.
The cost of the building was $l,746, Ills. 80.

Enough Said.

The decision Of Gov. Wells on the Address
of the Legislature for the removal of Judge
Davis, is capital spaper, and the case may
now be submitted to the people for verdict
without another word being said. The Gov
ernor has presented the whole case in con-
else, lucid and most admirable manner, exclud-
ing everything which does not properly belong
to it, and including nothing which should be
excluded, stating the facts Just as they exist,
the principles involved and their necessary con-
sequences. Forty Of the best Boston lawyers
could not argne down this paper, nor convince
the people Of Maine that j, was not right to
remove Woodbury. Davis. s.-Bangor Democrat

CoNeREss --In the Senate, on the 2lst inst
Ma. Cray replied 10 the speeches of Messrs.
Seward, Sumner, Wilson and Harlan, on the
bill for he admission of Kansas. He compli-
mented the Executive fer his course regarding
Kansas matters, and for the frmness and con-
sisiency he had exhibited in maintaining the
fights Of the entire country. The President,
he said, had been abused BY Abollionists and
Southern Americans, on exactly contrary
grounds He had displeased the extremists Of
both sides by occupying middle ground, and
pursuing course consistent with the rights of
North aud South. As to the alleged aggres-
sions of the slave power, he said that So far
from there being any truth in the charges, the
South had, ever since the foundation of the
government, been gradually yielding 10 the en-
croachmenis and usurpations of the NORTH
He would on some future occasion vindicate
the Northern and Southern Democrats from the
charge of entertaining enmiiy against either
section. He had been confined 10 his room by
sickness for ten days, and to-day ventured out
to the serious -detriment of his health.
