That our readers may not forget
what good work we done 1856, what
we are able to do again, and what it is
our highest duty to do again, and again,
we publish the majorities obtained by
the several Republican members at the
congressional election two years ago,
which we find in the Detroit Tribune.
In the first District, VIM. A. How
ard defeated MIR. Lothrop by s67 major
ity.
In the second District, Henry A.
Waldron defeated Ex-Governor Barry
by 6,5O3 majority.
In the third District, David S. Wal
bridge defeated f. ]. Littlejohn by
1904 majority. a'
In the fourth District, De Witt G.
Leach defeated Geo. w. Peck by 1924
majority.
This gives the Republicans an aggre-
gate Congressional majority in 1856 of
ls,49S.
The above figures need no explana-
ton, they show for themselves, Repub-
licanism at that time was merely in its
infancy, it was an experiment which
has proved successful beyond the high
est hopes of the friends of Republican
principles. With such a vote at that
time it is but fair to look forward to
the coming election with anticipations
OF an overwhelming majority. But
this is not to be gained by listlessness
and inactivity, every republican must
be at his post, using his whole strength
and influence to increase the majorities
in this County and State. In this way
only, can we be certain of success
such as we desire. We must not be
content with merely electing the Re-
publican ticket, we must do it by such
an increased majority as will leave our
enemies no grounds for claiming a " De-
mocratic increase" since 1856. This
we can do, it needs but the united eff
forts of the friends of Republicanism and
freedom throughout the. State, to in
crease the majorities to so great an ex-
tent as to leave no room for the slaveoc-
racy ever to hope that that party can
again be in the ,ascendancy.-Braach

Q A s HI

AT the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at ALL and
there is much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where, but are Obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
form, perhaps, more than one-half of our popula
ton and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than a rich one; and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising
If the people will only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at once that--paying GUS
toners assume all the bad debts, or in other words
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very discouraging for making debts
the obligations of the people are now very large,
larger by far than the crops this season will dis
charge Property of all Kinds is continually run
ming down, and how would it be with in the
event of atotal even partial failure of the crops
next season! Is there one so blind that he cannot
see that in spch an event it would take large
amount of property to pay livery small debt. Who
then, is so bold to increase their liabilities
der this state of things? -er b
Let Retrenchment, Economy Industry, Perse-
verance and no more MAKING DEBTS be the
Watchword, and take our word for it, in less than
three years time we shall be free from debts, sit
ting by our own firesides surrounded with plenty,
