The Detroit AdreatiSe says thet Mr.
Bannister and friends in the last pzpe
dition to the swamp have made tbo5ongh
search, for several miles around tHe
place where the balloon came douu I'D
that they have reliDquished all idea b.
Mr.. Thurston cam into Canada at al
Mr.. Bannister says.
He has taken great pains to sift the
rumor in regard to a mans being seen
upon the balloon, thoroughly, aud is con-
WINGED they are without foundation III
fact. A reward of twenty five dollars
were offered 10 hunters aud others who
inhabit that region (enough to excite
them to effect for the recovery of the
body. Mr. Bannister thinks now, that
the violent motion of the balloon sway
ing to and fro in the air, aud its great
elevation, three miles, caused the un-
fortunate man to resign his hold and
drop to the earth. In which case be mus:

Mr.. Thurston was forty five years of
age, a man of much industry and perse-
.verance, and highly respected. He was
a widower, with an only child, a young
lady, DIR. 7. resided at Adrian, and
wac proprietor of a small fruit nursery.
Vote the Whole Ticket.
The Democratic party owes all its
past triumphs to its firm adhesion to
its usages. As a whole the present Dem
oeratic ticket is as unexceptionable as
that has preceded it. On every
occasion of the nomination of a ticket
are more or less indications of dis
appointment and expression of discon-
tent, but upon sober reflection it has
been determined that the true
course is to support the whole ticket.
If injudicious nominations be made
established means, and By ad-
fairness, it is always better to
than to endanger the fu-
.ure success of the party by opposing
hem. Time makes all things right, and
t is much better to right a wrong
through the medium or established
than to attempt it by a departure
herefrom.
A bad nomination is easier cured by
to established usage than by
,~ursuiDg a course that may be consider
d disreputable. Adhesion to usages
also the safer and surer way to remc-
y a supposed wrong. Men by depart |
Dg from usage may achieve what they j
steem a good result, but by SO acting q
hey bring about a multitude of bad re-
ults. d. f .sesf# 15lgnl-f 90. t
If there be Democrats who design op- c
osiDg any portion of their ticket, we
xhort them to halt and reflect upon the c
Consequences. Is there a Demoeratwho {
prefer the qualification of his in a
iyiduai preferences to the success OF his c
arty ? w hope not; We believe not. v
Remember the past, feDember.ItAe p
ause that has produced SO many splen- C
i'd Democratic victories; and let US all a
o next October as we have done in the !
asst, vote the whole Democratic ticket. s.
Re shall never have to regretthis C .urse. b
n opposite course We may some day a
ave cause to regret. Our party has il II

its interests; let us in turn stand a
