DECLINArION OF HoN. DANIEL L. CAsE.-Our
readers will learn with regret the announcement,
of the declination of Hon. D. L. Case, Hon. n. G..
Isbel, and Hon. James W. Sanborn. They have
been faithful servants of the people, and j, would
have afforded US pleasure to have seen them re.
elected to the offices they hold.
The following notice of the declination of the
Auditor General We take from the Detroit Zri.
bune. 1t would be for the interest of the State
for the Convention to adopt the suggestion of the
Tribune, and re-nominate him by reclamation,
notwithstanding his declination.
1--WE are authorized to say that Hon. Daniel
L. Case, the present Auditor General, is not a
candidate for denomination and that he will not
permit his name to 60 before the 7th of June
Convention. Mr.. Case has made an able and
most faithful officer, and We regret his determine.
ton as announced above, because the public ser.
vice can but poorly afford to spare such man as
he is. Not a shadow of suspicion rests upon bis
administration, and We should have been glad to
have seen the gratitude of the Republican party
for the firm stand he took in maintaining its in.
tegrity in the matter of the State Treasurer, and
its appreciation Of official honesty and fidelity,

the next State Convention. In Withdrawing his
name, we are convinced that Mr.. Cases only mo.

DECLINATIoN OF COMMISSIONER SANBoRN.-On
Saturday, We announced that Hon. D. L. Case,
present Auditor General, perempi,oriy declines a
denomination. To-day We announce upon au
thority, that Hon. James W. Sanborn, the presen,

cnes a denomination, and will not permit his
name to 60 before the Convention. MIR. Sanborn
has made capital officer; competent, diligent,
prompt, courteous, there has been no complaint
lodged against his administration. He will retire
from office with the complete popular regard. and
also the inuate consciousness, that in a critical
moment for the Republican party, he performed
his duty promptly and fearlessly. We say again,
that we could have wished that such fidelity could
have received some popular public SANCTION

SECRETARY IsBELL DECLINES RENoxISArIoN.
1T will be seen from the letter below that Hon.
n. G. Isbell, our present able Secretary of State,
declines being candidate for denomination. The
reasons given by him for thus deciding are, Ger.
tainly, not dattering to our State pride, and, in
common with those who have at heart the wish
that our ablest men should represent our State in
its highest Offices, We deeply regret that one Of
the most worthy of those whom the public have
delighted to honor should have found the reten.
ton of such honorable place incompatible with
private duties:
LANSING, May 10, 1859.
Editors Detroit Daily Advrtiser:
In your article Of the Sth inst, entitled sour
State Convention and its duties" notice that
am placed in the list of State officers who YOU
seem to infer will be candidates before the State
Nominating Convention, to be held on the 7th
June
To the end that the Convention may be reliev.
ed from any embarrassment on account of mis-
understanding Of my position, it is, perhaps, due
that should make public announcement of nv
intention not to be a candidate for denomination.
am Influenced to this determination by the fact
that the Office is not sufficiently remunera,ive to
one whose livelihood depends on daily exertion
at productive employment.
lnasmuch as the Convention will, without
doubt, select some Republican better qualified
than myself for the duty, am not regarding nv
private necessity a. the expense of the public
interest, when avoid the further sacrifice of nv
time. am, truly yours
n. G.. ISBETI.
