shayers, at exorbitant discounts, by citi-

acknowledged to be corrupt by refusing
them denomination for second term Of
Office in accordance with precedent and
party usage-these, and all other malfe-
sances of the republican party, demand
explanation, and we trust that the people
before they 90 to the ballot-box, will de-
mand that explanation with an urgency
which will receive no denial.
6. That wo pledge ourselves to the
reform of every department OF the State
government--to restore to order to the
confusion which now roigns in State af-
fairs---to reinstato her in the honesty Of
the days of John S. Bany--to retrieve
her credit, refill her treasury, and to man
age her affairs with that economy which
the people have right and ought 10 de-
mand Of their public servants; and that,
as an earnest of honesty and resoluteness
of purpose, we place before the people q
ticket composed of mon whose lives and
character challenge investigation, and
whose names, in their various localities,
are the watchwords of honesty and per-
sonal confidence.
When the names of Douglas and john
son were mentioned, the readers voice
was drowned with perfect tornado of
applause. The whole convention rose
spontaneously to their feet, and the ap-
plause was renewed, with the waving of
hats, loud huzzas, swinging of canes, &c.
Many members jumped upon their seats,
and the widest enthusiasm prevailed ever
witnessed in the history of conventions in
this State. Tho applause continued for
full five minutes, and, after the conven-
ton had resumed their seats, the cheering
was again renewed. Every repetition of
tho namo Of Douglas was received with
unbounded applause.
On motion tho convention adjourned
with three hearty cheers for Douglas, and
three moro for tho State ticket.

of tho absence Of " Young America" in
the ticket9 There is too much old fogy-
ism in Gov. BARRY TO suit tho Adverti-
ser; andstill itthinks "onconomy" a requi-
site quality in the executive of young
and growing Statcl Like the principal
element in The republican party, the Id
vertiser likes the " Young America" style
of Bingham, Wisner, Mckinney q Co.
That is a good style if you can raise the
funds. BINGHAM went through la
"Young America" according to the doc
trine of the advertiser, and left the bars
down, over which his /" Young America"
successors have fallen. Again the Id
vertiSer says the democrats have been
among the fossils" of "old fogyism" and
found BARRY and FENToN. True, Mr.
advertiser, we need some of tho old To-
gies just now TO pick up" young Amer
ica;;" and we shall not be surprised if old
fogy BARRY should dig up some " fossils"
not far from Lansing that will be worth
exhibiting. If his life is spared he will
be sure to be at the "diggin's" on the
first day Of January next. Wo have on
ly to look at tho resolutions published in
the proceedings of the convention to get
synopsis of tho condition of the State of
Michigan, and JOHN S.BARRY is eminent
ly qualified to adopt policy to suit the
emergency.
We reserve further comment upon tho
ticket for future issues of our paper.

OUR TICKET.


We have never endorsed nomination
for President and Vice President with
moro pride and satisfaction than the one
presented at Baltimore, by the National
Democratic OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
JOHNSON. To baltic for PRINCIPLES un-
der such leaders is satisfaction that
words can hardly express-cven were VIC
small band, isolated and with only the
weapons God has given us-but much
deeper feeling is experienced, if that is
possible, when thousands and tens of
thousands with whom wo have never seen
or exchanged word are imbued with tho
same spirit, and who fly instantly to one
and the Same standard, borne by q man
whose name is n household word, for
whom thousands of warm hearts beat
happily, who has been and is boset by
bitter foes that seem 10 havo endearcd
those warm hearts, and has enabled him
to triumph over the bittcrcst of them,
against all the patronage powerful adj
ministration could command, and who
stands to-day tho INvINcIBLE and consis-
tent defender of principle of government
that will endure as long as spark Of lib
crty exists in the bosoms of men.
Yes STEPHAN A. DOUGLAS is the man
that can, will, and is able to lead the con-
scrvative democratic party, the only party
that can defend tho Union against the Sc
cession of southern disunionists, and the
fanaticism of northern aboIitionists, the
extravaganza of black republicanism, and
the extension Of that great evil, African
slavery. This is the party for the times
when sectionalism would disjoint and
dismember this glorious Union in its self
ish or misguided ends, according to the
interests Of its respective parties-we
mean sectionalism north and SOUTH
Again VIC say it with great satisfaction
that we present TO our readers and the
voters of the State Of Michigan the names
of DOUGLAS and JOHNSON, and earnestly
solicit them to unite with us in their sup
port as the only opponents of sound de-
nocracy and conservative patriotism. Our
cause is just and will succeed.

Now in use irrespective Of Price


We ask attention to the following points of
excellence in WEST q WILSON'S Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles
This is great dosidcratum and in this we claim
n decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached 10 q small wheel driven by n larger
one, instead of to the long arm Of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon tho short one
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
3D.. Tho great power and directness Of the
motion enables us 10 sew all fabrics, from gauzo
to four thicknosses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
tho different thicknesses, from a sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping n stitch or breaking n thread. We
know of no othor family machine of equal sa-
pacity
4th. 1t uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spoolsj unlike most machines, it
will permit tho scam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much moro room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-quts, &C., and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions arc
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
IL will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBR0ID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety Of sewing that can be done by
n similar stitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine win make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly us ours.
Send for u circular containing full particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations Of stitch, &c.
Machines warranted and full directions given,
for using, without charge tJ ra
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing rfr

Arrival of the Great Eastern.

SANDY Hook, juno, %, 10 A. M.
Tho steamship Great Eastern came in
TO the lightship at 1880 this morning.
She left the Needles at 10 A. M. on tho
18th. With the exception of two days
she has experienced fine weather. She
has az passengers. She steamed tho en-
tire passage, ranging from 254 TO 1913
miles per twenty-four hours. She was
received on reaching tho light-ship by
Captain Cosgrovc with salute and dip.
ping Of colors, and, as the mist blew
away, all tho vessels in sight set their
bunting and cheered her. She now lies
near the bar, and will not pass over till
3 p. M. She draws 81 feet of water aft,
and will be trimmed TO nm oven keel be-
fore crossing.
Second Despatch.
The Great Eastern passed tho Bat
terry at 30 p. M. No difficulty was
experienced in crossing the bar. The
immense ship wendell her way through
the bay rs easily rs pilot-boat. She
was attended by fleet of small craft,
and the enthusiasm of the crowds on
board them was unboundcd. The throngs
on the Battery and on tho various piers
on the North River was immense
Many salutes were fired in her honor
The lrigato Niagara, lying in tho stream
looked very small in comparison.
The Great Eastern was moored at
her dock about o'clock. Her immense
length covers two entire blocks.

ter is not TO be 50 easily molded. Potter
will be charmed to fight.
Potter will select bowio-knves, favor.
tic weapon with Southern political niggcr
drivers. Pryor objects to the pet weapon
Of his class, as "vulgar and inadmissible."
Potter adheres to the humane and civili-
zing invention Of Col. Bowie, aud Pryor
and his friends say that they really cannot
have anything to do with person who
plays with such nasty edged tools. Where
upon Colonel Lander, the friend Of Potter,
declares that he will take the place of the
bloodthirsty Wolverine, and accommodate
Pryor with hair-triggers, or any other "gen-
tlemanly," elegant or refined weapons, suit
ed to the taste of the f. f. VS., some Of
whom, by the way, have fought with bowie
knives, and that not long ago. But Pryor
"has no quarrep with the Colonel of Wagon
Road fame, and so the whole matter drops.
Potter goes back to the House, and Pryor
sinks about like dog with his tail be-
tween his legs, and all the decent persons
on the Democratic side of the House are
thoroughly ashamed of him.
! W. hOpo bulS TlulCulOuS AFFAIR Will uOL Do
without its moral lesson for those members
Of Congress, on either side of the House,
who have attempted to cover up their igno-
rance Of the real duties and responsibilities
of statesmen by assuming the manner,
while they have not the pluck of black
guards aud shoulder-hitters. 1t is all very
well for fellows like Pryor. who abuse wom-
en- and non-combatants, until some fine day
when they wake up the wrong passenger
and have to eat dirt. The lesson is a
wholesome one, and we hope that it will
have a good effect upon Congress, and keep
the bullies straight, for the remainder Of
this session at least. They can get off all
their superauous trash during the Presiden-
tial canvass. The stump, not the floor of
the House, is the proper place for it. As
for the mock duel, it is quito time it was
abolished. There has not been a serious
encounter, according to the code, between
members, for the last twenty years and
more; and yet there are half dozen chal-
lcnges every year. The custom is absurd,
and parties concerned ought to be above
such boys play.

wi,consin Judicial election.

The Madison Journal of the 18th, pub
fishes the official vote for Chief Justice from
35 counties. The totals are-Sloan, 49,
653; Dixon, 47,455. Total vote in 80
counties this spring, 97,1os. Total vote in
same counties last fall, 1O5,405. Less this
spring, 8,298. Sloan's majority so far, q
los. Randall's majority for Governor in
the same counties last fall, 1920. The
Journal says:
Whatever may be the result of the cleo
ton for Chief Justice, the majority is so
small, either way, as to give risO to serious
inquiries respecting the fate of the Demo
cratic party.
Judge Dixon received the united support
of the Democratic party. He also received
large number of Republican votes. In
Columbia County, the canvass shows that
some fifteen hundred or more Republicans
voted for him; in Dane about one thousand f;
in Jefferson several hundred; and in nearly
every quarter of the State there was slight
detection in the Republican ranks from Judge
Sloan to Judge Dixon. And yet the prob
abilities of the election of Sloan are quite
as good if not little better than for Dixon.

The Prize Eight.

The later intelligence from England in
dicates that the report that the time of the
match between Heenan and Savers had
been changed from April 10th to the 18th,
was merely ruse for the police. At a
meeting of the "fancy," March 90th, the
final deposit of ESQ for the contest was
made, and Mr.. Bowling, the stakeholder,
gave notice that the fight would come of
on the 18th of April, as. originally agreed
upon, that all the preliminaries wero ar
ranged, and that both the pugilists were in
good condition. Bets of six and seven to
four were offered on Sayers, but without
finding any takers. Charge for convey
ance and admission to the fight had been
fixed at fS per head. Bowling gave assu-
rance that fair play would be strictly observ-
ed; that it would be fair stand up fight;
that if either man improperly adopted the
tumble down system, the referee would de.
eide against him. The experience of the
two champions is widely different. Sayers
is an old successful prize boxer, while Hee-
mans only prize fight was not winning
one, as his friends claim, from disabling
blow accidentally given to post.
