Fun AHEAD.-We notice that seve-
raj of the Democratic County Conven-
tons that have been held in the State,
have passed resolutions instructing
their delegates to the State Convention
to use "all proper and legitimate
means to secure the nomination of
Hon. Chas. E. Stuart for Governor.
Now as Mr.. Stuart has expressed a de-
termination not to become the nominee
of the convention unless they will pass
resolutions denouncing the Administra-
ton, the question naturally arises how
will the Administration wing of the
party adjust the matter, and what
course will they pursue? If that Con-
vention nominate Mr.. Stuart, and en-
dorse his course, they rebuke and repu-
date tie Administration. Dare the
locofoco Office holders in this State do
this? Will the Douglas wing of the
party support an Administration man ?
We opine not. Then what will they
do I? There is evidently fun ahead.

a staunch democrat, laboring through
the columns of that paper for the sue

man worthy of a high position in any

superior ability, and we can but con-
graduate the Republicans of Shiawas-
see upon this valuable accession to

The state Ticket.

Hon. Moses Wisner, of Oakland Co.,
the nominee for Governor, is one of the
first lawyers in that section of the State.
He has been nominated several times
by his constituents for various posts of
honor, but it having been in the more
palmy days of locofocoism in the State,
he was of course doomed to a defeat.
In 1854 he was the opposing candidate
of George w. Peck, in the Fourth Dis
trict, Tor congress. his nanfe was
among those mentioned as candidates
for the high post of United States Sen
ator in 1857, to succeed General Cass.
Mr.. Wisner is man every way quail
fed to make an excellent Governor,
possessing sound Judgment, firmness
of purpose, integrity of character, COM
bined with caution and prudence. He
will make an officer of whom Michigan
may feel proud to boast. -, Is
Edmund B. Fairfield, of Hillsdale
Co., the candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, is at the present time President
of Hillsdale College, one of the most
flourishing institutions oflearning in the
State. He will be more closely remem-
bered as member of the present State
Senate. Mr.. Fairfield is an able and
fluent speaker, a ripe scholar, and his
name has ever been identified with
those connected with the anti-slavery
movement. He will prove terror to
the locofocos during the contest, as he
is host in himself upon the, stump.
Hell every way qualified for the posi-
ton for which he has been nominated.
Nelson G. Isbell, of Livingston Co.,
the candidate for Secretary of State,
has been several times member of the
State Senate, and occupied other places
of trust in the gift of the people. He
is quiet, unobtrusive man, and does
not make as much hustle as some, still
he possesses all tn ,se finer qualities
that go to make up the man. He is a
man of sound practical sense, of shrewd
business habits, and his character for
honesty and integrity are beyond ques-
ton. There could be no sounder Re-
publican than him, and his careful and
methodical habits and attentive bust.
ness method peculiarly qualify him for
the position to which he has been nom
mated. - ~
The nominee for State Treasurer,
John Mckinney, of Van Buren, County,
is a man well known to the people Of
this State. He is at present our able
and efficient Secretary of State, which
post he has occupied for nearly four
years, with honor to himself and
credit to the State. He has also been
/ a member of both branches of the State
Legislature, where he was noted not SO
much for his fuency of speech as fol
his moral worth and integrity, and fol
his steady purposes of mind. In ls49
in the Senate, when the Democratic
party in the State retreated from their
position on the Wilmot Proviso at the
request of Gen. Cass, Mr.. Mckinney
refused to forswear, and his principles
and his vote remains record of his
political integrity. 3 He is firmly. at
tached to Republican principles, and
amply capacitated to fill any position
lin the gift of the people Of the State.

Daniel L. Case, of Ingham County,
is the candidate for Auditor General,
than whom better selection could not
have been made. Mr.. Case is man
Of legislative experience, having served
in the Convention that framed our State
Constitution, and also in the State Leg
islature. He is also man of keen
perception, of active business habits,
and of a liberal mind In 1856, himself
and twenty-four others of the. very
flower of the Ingham County Democ-
racy, repudiated the prozslavery party
which had broken down the honored
compromise of 1920, and gave in their
adhesion to the Republican party, and
his example and labors have done much
towards the recent conversion of that
county. He will doubtless make an
able and efficient public officer.
Hon. Jacob NJ. Howard, of Wayne,
was re-nominated to the office of At
torney General, who has filled that
office with marked ability for nearly
four years. He is man too we'll
known 10 need extended notice at our
hands. His denomination was COM
pliment well deserved, and his re-elec-
ton by tremendous mojority this Fall
will but testify the warm friendship the
people of the State possess for him.
For Commissioner Of the Land Of
fee, James NJ. Sanborn, of st. Clair.
He is man highly esteemed in his own
section for his integrity, honesty, and
active business habits. He is well ac-
quainted with the wants of the new
settler, and probably possesses as good
and accurate a knowledge of the Pub
lie Lands Of our State as any other man
in it. His information and former pur-
suits in life, combined with accurate
business habits and firm integrity, adj
mirably fit him for the discharge OF
those public duties attendant upon his
official position. Mr.. Sanborn was a
member of the House in the Legisla-
ture of 1854. He was nominated for
reelection in 1856, but was defeated by
very small vote,
j. NJ. Gregory, Of Washtenaw, the
present able editor of the Journal. of
Education, is the candidate for Super
intendent of Public Instruction. Mr..
Gregory is too well known, from the ac-
active part he has taken the Educational
interests of our State for many years
past, to need any words of commenda-
ton at our hands. A better selection
could not have been made, nor man
better qualified for the position found
in the State.
Witter j. Baxter, of Hillsdale Co.,
who at present holds the office of Mem.
Der of the Board of Education by ap-
pointment from the Governor, is the
nominee for that Office. He is an able
lawyer, and every way qualified for the
position.
With such men,upon our ticket, with
4 party united and harmonious, who
can doubt the triumph that awaits us
With Liberty and Victory inscribed
upon our banners we 60 forth to fight
Ours is battle for Freedom, waeed
against an enemy who would seek tc
Cypress us, and force upon us an institu
ton which we, as free people, abhor
Let those who love liberty and hate

confident that success awaits us, and
that Michigan will ever maintain hel

VIRGINIA WHEAT CRoP A FA1LURE.
No one who has attentively read the
agricultural reports published in the
Wing, from time to time, during the
past six weeks, can arrive at any other
conclusion than that the wheat crop of
Virginia is wofully deficient this year.
The more we read and hear on this
subject, the stronger is our conviction
that the. present yield is, at the lowest
calculation. twenty per cent below that
of 1857, and the tendency of our judg-
ment il towards the opinion thot the
comparative diminution is nearly one
