When the result was declared, the
hard-heads and federal officers raised a
howl; they saw at once that Mr.. Bu-

where in Michigan, they writhed and
tortured themselves into perfect ago.
ny; they might have spared themselves
world of pain, if they had waited a
few minutes, to hear the developments
of the great political traitor and reno
gade. But they would not be patient,
and, when a motion was made TO make
the nomination unanimous. ex-Con-
gresham, Geo. w. Peck, ESQ.,, the
great slavery apologist of Michigan,
mounted the table and begged the Con-
vention to "hold for moment" He
denounced the nomination, and hoped
that the motion would be withdrawn ;
and, amid groans and Kisses, washed
his hands of all participation in the
nomination. After the storm had SUBJ
sided, the Convention proceeded to
vote for Lieutenant Governor. Geo.
Monroe, of Jonesville, received 12l
votes. He was, therefore, declared
nominated. E. Kanter, of Detroit,
and John Ball, of Kent, were named
as candidates for Treasurer. Kanter
received 6s votes, and the balance of
125 scattering. j. p. King, of Macki-

reported him in keeping, and he was
introduced by the President. He
thanked them for the honor and the
endorsement the Convention had given
him. He was evidently much troubled
for words to- conceal his ideas, and
very much alarmed lest he should say
something wrong. He finally gave a
full and unequivocal endorsement of
Buchanan and the Lecompton fraud in
all its iniquity by saying-"He oho
supposes 1 stand IN antagonisn to the
great central administration: party at
Washington, 'nsisuazersta,sds me-" AT.
ter making this announcement, he saw
that it cast damper upon the face of
his friends, and he immediately SUBJ
sided, after saying that next to the God
he worshipped he endorsed all the doc
trines of the Administration. s-
The Committee on Resolutions drew
up an unmeaning report, which being
satisfactory to both wings of the party
was adopted. Mr. q. v. N. Lothrop
proposed three cheers for the ticket, in
which no one joined bnt. himself, and
the Convention adjourned amid the
cursing of o few Buchanan delegates,
who remained to see the :" end" -.-7
A cannon was, fired several times,
which the editor of the Detroit Herald
(the Administration organ, pronounced
"thc burial of the Democratic party
with funeral honors." -,
And so closed the Convention of the
