THE ELECTIONS. .

From the Lansing Oneh) state journal, March al
The elections which take place a week from Monday
next are of no slight consequence 20 the people Of the
State. The election of q chief Justice of the supreme
court is of the first Importance. The filling Of The va
rious township Offices with reliable and faithful men,
ought not to be neglected. The democratic party have
in nomination by far the most cabable man for chief
Justice and by following this example Throughout the
township nominations, the party will be materially
strengthened. Let harmony prevail. Let only one OBJ
ject animate every democrat-the paramount advance
ment of the interests of the democratic party,
The public sentiment is loud and pointed in its con
domination Of republican legislation in this State. The
cry is bitter against their extravaganza, corruption, and
oppression. Let the point be made, that at this election
the people are to condemn or sustain the abolninaole
legislature of the republican party. Let the issue be
made at every poll. Let us see if the people are willing
to sustain the rule of the republican party.
The democracy of this State were never in better
spirit. They have never been so determined TO uproot
the power Of the republican party as now. Never had
they more confidence or encouragement to work. With
out show or buster the democratic forces are at work,
and the result of the election viii prove that the people
are determined to overthrow the republican party.
The republican party are dsheartened and discouraged,
and only when they can bleed its members TO furnish
means to carry ON the contest viii that party exhibit the
slightest animation. Money here and there will give 1t
a spasmodic effort, but TO no purpose. Its false issues,
its lying professions, and its corruptions are being laid
bare, its oppressive legislation and its tyrannical instincts
are becoming known, and, like every other opposition
party that has existed in the past, the weight of its own
acts is carrying it to an inglorious grave.
Shall not, then, the democratic party Of Michigan, as
one man, work for the good Of the State for a few days :
Go and soc your n~eighbors. If they are democrats, set
them 70 work. II they are republicans who went off
from the democratic party, zee if you cannot warm the
democratic faith that once was in tneW If they are old
fashioned wings, show them what their presens political
associations are, and the consequences which have fol
lowed the supremacy of republcapisip in this State. II
they are abolitionists, do not despair of doing them sonpe
good.
A little labor-a little home talk among neighborB-a
little reason applied to the present political aspect In this
State-will ON the 4th of April next roll up a handsome
democratio majority. Let democrats Of every school dis
triot-of every town and county-do their duty, and
half Of the battle of 1869 in this State will have been
fought.
