laid the foundation of religion, science and
wealth in our county!
Gentlemen, you will confer great IA
vor upon many interested ones, if you
will grant us the privilege Of meeting you
in social intercourse and listen TO n reci-
tai from your own lips of what you suf-
fered and enjoyed,in those times that tried
mems nerves, if not their souls; for we
depend upon You TO enstamp upon our
minds the history Of our county, in its
early formation, and by what steps we
have grown to our present magnitude in
wealth and population. We trust his
tory so pleasing and interesting in detail,
will not be lost by the apathy of those
who were the prominent actors in its rap
idly changing scenes.

THE BABY LEGIsLATURE.


Since the reign of republicanism in the
State of Michigan her legislation has been
destructive to the party the republicans
have so warmly espoused, and the present
session may be eminently styled the baby
sort. Being so much elated with their
success few years since they have gone
it blind-being secure as they suppose in
their strength, the interest and honor of
the State have been overlooked or tram
pied upon in the single narrow idea of
abolitionism and party. 1t seems to be
an inherent principle in republicanism to
kill every thing it touches; and it can not
be otherwise, so long as the party is COM
posed Of its present material, into which
the elements ofan overbounded enthusiasm
that invariably runs into fanaticism enter,
which is, and ever viii be, its great evil,
and the cause of its overthrow and final
destruction. Past experience will never
be listened to in such party, and they
ago it blind" until destruction is upon
them. One would suppose the rescue of
this State from bankruptcy, and almost
destruction, not many years since, by Gov.
| BARRY and democratic rule, would be q
warning to escape our present prospect
i've dishonor, but they have not regarded
it, and it will again require sage counsels
and wise heads, to restore the honor and
reputation of this beautiful Peninsula.
Our present Legislature is republican
by large majority, and is the baby Leg
islature of Michigan. The people have
sent its members there to look after the
interests of the State and make rules or
laws in accordance with the desires and
best interests of its citizens, so far as
the same do not conflict with our State
and National constitutions. AVhen we
see Representatives and Senators discuss
Ing, for four days, bill for the donation
of six hundred and forty acres of land
that was granted to the State with GER
tain restrictions-for the benefit of wo-
man, because she fortunately or unfortu-
nately had four children at che birth, we
doubt the reputed intelligence of our State.
The bill passed both branches of the Leg
islature by large majorities, but the Gov
ernor has had the good sense to veto the
bill, with keen rebuke embraced in his
brief remarks. This is baby legislation
literally and practically.
Another baby specimen is in the re-
port Of the committee on the memorial
of Judge LITTLEJoHN--a reasonable me
mortal from the first Circuit Judge Of the
State of Michigan, in point of ability, must
be answered by the Senate of his own
State with rigmarole of baby talk The
justice of The request must be swal-
lowed up in party, and injury must be
followed by insult.
The organization of MuskegOn county
is another specimen of republican legisla-
ton. Poor old democratic Ottawa must
be severed and nice, "elean republicans
county" called Muskegou, must DO carved
out in order iofurnish another republican

DRvINe TURKEYs.-A large flock of
turkeys passed through the city day or
two since, which were being driven in the
same manner rs a flock Of sheep or a
drove of cattle. The droyer said he had
driven them nearly a hundred miles in
this way. The birds looked extremely
dilapidated and crestfallen, from long
travel and fatigue. Even the old tur-
key gobbler, that led the way, travelled
with head and tail down, and plumage
badly soiled. He looked hard up, and in
want Of rest. His companions followed
him with slow and weary step, hardly
pausing for melancholy peck at a
stray oat or kernel of corn as they passed
alleys and barns. We have seen all kinds
Of droves, but none equal 10 the turkey
drove in question. They had some forty
or fifty miles yet TO travel before reaching
their destination. Det. Free Press.
