The Detroit Herald is,thsN xti6sall

in this State. 1t was sta Sshed bvl
Mr.. Postmaster O'Flydn, While thel
Free Press was opposing with bitter /
zeal, the Administf& bon Kansas policx.
And though the latter paper has made
the most honorable apology, and been
received back into the party, it is not
fully trustedf pori IS il ihrthe confidence
Of Mr. Bslchh1anI. The. Herald is still
the confdentidf organ of the President
and MS Secretary Of State. Whatever
the Administration desires done of an
especially delicate nature, or whenever
1T wishes to bring its views before. the
Democracy of Michigan with especial
force and Significance, the Herald is
always. selected as its. mouth piece.
Whatever comes from that source upon
questions OF this character, is By Ast-
thority from w ashington. The follow
ing article from the last number of that
paper is, therefore, the voice of the
President upon. the question it dis
cusses. 1t win be seen that in view of
Mr. Stuart's atonement for past here
sizes, and his cordial approval of the
past and prospective policy of the Adj
ministration, that he has been forgiven
and taken into full fellowship by the
President, and all, the friends of the
Administration, are required to. give

The STATE. NoMINATIoNs.4To-day
we place at the head of our columns
the nominations made for State officers,
by the Democratic State Convention,
which met in this city on the End inst,
and we take this occasion, to make a
few explanatory remarks. In relation
to the nomination of Mr.. Stuart, it is
proper that we should state that he was
not our choice. HIS early and uncona-
promising Opposition to the. Kansas
policy Of the National ADMINISTRATION,
met our most unqualified disapproba-
ton, and seemed to preclude all idea of
our yielding him a support for any po-
sition, whatever, in the democratic
party. We regard has late position to
tie administration as. factious and high
ly reprehensi6le, and only intended to
divide and distract. We regard Mr..
Stuart as false to the administration ).
false to democratic principles J, false
to his political friends in Congress, and
false to the democratic party of the
nation. Had we kno,cn before the con-
re,stion that his mind had undergone
the change it appears it has, and that
he aoas ready to confess has error, ac-
knowledge has folly, retrace has steps
and yield allegiance to the National
ADMINISTRATOR, our feelings towards
him might have been somewhat favor
ably changed. But we did not. The
first intimation we had of any change
i'm his views, ac0s schen he appeared
before the convention after has saonaina-
ton, and PUBLICLY GAVEIN HIS
ENFORCEMENT OFT ADMIN
ISTRATfON, AND OF ALL ITS
ACTS. That Dir. St,tqrt has for
months been a,arious to make public
atonepae,at for has late folly and politi;
cal heresies, Is ccide,st from has
EAGERNESS AND INDUSTRY to
secsre the Guber,aatorial nomination
,chereby he might hare an opportunity
to PUBLICLY EXPURGATE. HIM
SELF, AS HE DID, This abandon
ment Of has opposition ) this retrdciny
Of has past course, and this declaration
of future fidelity to the party, sods a
,saerpected as 1t acds scelcone, 1t has
been the misfortune of politicians, il
all times past, to sometimes err; bu
when they confess their error, and re
trace their steps, AS MR.. STUART
HAS DONE, what can, be the duty o
the party but, to overlook? True, 9
wise caution might well be observed il
the ,bestowment of favors upon sucl
persons, but, at the same time confdenc
ia their future fidelity, though bestowe,
with prudent consideration, is, never
theless, nsagnasimous. b.sr 80. -.
That Mr. Stuart nOsc supports tn
WHOLE POLICY OF, THE AID
MINISTRATION, KANSAS AM
ALL, and upon, the same grounds 10
h0ce all along supported IL, is eviden
from his remarks before the convention
Having thus publicly erpurgated him
self from all has past opposition to tn
Administrations, and from has politica
hsesies, we are disposed to extend t.
him all that generous confidence W.
can bestow, under all of the .circum
stances of the case. Mr. Stuart OPP
posed the Lecompton question to tn
end, even to voting against that time
henored manner of settling disputed
questions by an honorable compromise
For this anti-Democratic and faction
opposition, we felt called upon to cor
denim him, and regard him as false t
party and to principle; but since b
has received a nomination, from
Democratic State Convention, and Ia
thass openly erpurgoted himself, W
can, as Democrats, do no less than sut
NIT to the will of the majority, an
place his name at the head of the ticl
ct. Having made this .explanatio
which selfrespect and regard for pc
litical consistency required us to make
we shall give the ticket, as Nominated
our support, for in so doing, we supper
