JACKSON CRY, Sept. odd, 1850.
En-. REPUBLICAN Thinking that perhaps
that some of your readers would lie interested
in brief account Of the position and progress
of Republicanism in this part of the vineyard,
improve few moments Of leisure, in writing
now.
And first, let me say that the Republicans OF
jackson county "are wide awake" and brm fun
of enthusiasm for Lincoln and Hamlin, Blair and
Birney, and the galaxy of noble names that COM
pose our ticket.
Never, since the Republican party had All ex-
istance has there been exhibited by the masses,
such determination to do and to conquer, as at
the present time.
The old Fremont guards are all at their posts
of duty, and scores, who four years ago, stood
in the enemies ranks, are now battling maniully
by their sides. The sleepy ones are waking up,
and every thing indicates full, round one hoa-
sand majority for Oar" Blair, and Il like ma
jority for glorious "Old Abe" and the balance
of the State Ticket.
these cheering prospects to lull US into idleness
or inaction. On the contrary, We intend to push
the campaign through to the end, with even
greater zeal and energy than that which has mar
ked 1t thus far. We shall spare no effort to per-
feet the organization of the party, and bring out
every Republican voter, and do our part and
more than our part to redeem the pledge made
at Chicago by our candidate for Governor.
We have the best county ticket that We have
had for years. Not a man upon it can be Obec-
ted to, nor is there a man upon it, who will not
draw largely to the ticket.
You have, Of course heard Of the nomination
of Charles V. De Land, of the Citizen for Sena-
tor. This is most emphaticaly the very best
nomination that could have been made, and is
most heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by
every Republican voter in the District.
| Mr.. De Land is well known Throughout: the
country, as an able, efficient, and hard working
Republican, one of the first to embrace the faith,
and one of its most consistent advocates He pos
sesses in an eminent degree qualifications which
will make him one of the most useful and pOpu.
integrity, and ability, and will discharge the du.
ties of Legislator with honor to himself, and
credit to the District.
| OF course he will be elected. He will lead his
ticket largely in the county, and especially in
this city. As an evidence of his popularity al
home, will mention the fact that one year ago
last spring he was a candidate for Alderman on
the Repu blican ticket in the Third Ward of this
city, and although the Ward gave an average
Democratic majority of thirty yet he was elected
by ten. This is but fair index of his popularity
throughout the entire county. lie will under
stand soon commence his canvass, and be assured
he will win friends to his cause wherever he goes
In this city the Star of Republicanism seems
to be in the ascendant. Our Wigwam is filled
every Monday night, with a large and apprecia.
tive audience, which gives unmistakable evidence
of the hold which the truths of the Republican
party have upon the hearts of the hOnest masses
If the Republicans of other parts of the State
will do as well as Jackson county, the State will
roll up such a majority for Lincoln and Blair as
shall surprise our friends and confound our enc.
mics.
Republicans of Michigan let your work be
done and WELL done.
