oUnion Tickets"

One thing we wish to particularly
impress upon the minds of Republican
readers in connection with the ap-
preaching Township Elections, and
that is in relation to "Union Tickets"
In those townships where the Locofo-
COS stand no chance of electing their
ticket, they will appeal to you to lay
aside party matters in your own town
ship and neighborhood, and join them in
making nominations for township Off
GERS which shall comprise the best men
of each party. They will show laud-
able interest in electing the "best men,"
especially when they can take por
ton of them from their own side Of
the house. To all such propositions,
answer them that the ssbest men" are
in the Republican party, and that they
are the ones you expect to nominate,
and elect.
In townships where they stand any
chance of electing their ticket, you
will hear no talk of "Union Tickets"
They will rather prefer to run their
chances and work hard, rather than to
divide the offices. 1t is only in towns
where they are hopelessly in the min.
ority that the Republicans will be urged
to 90 into Union Caucuses. We are
well aware that in township matters,
it is natural, and in many instances
praiseworthy, to desire to elect the best
men, irrespective of party, to fill the
township offices. Still. our Republican
friends should remember that in every
town in the County, there are as good
men to be found in our own ranks as
there are or can be in the Democratic
party-men who are faithful and COM
petent, and every way worthy of your
support. These are the men for you
to nominate, and when nominated, see
to it that they are elected. Have moth
ing whatever to do with these s'Union"
arrangements. Put good, sound, COM
petent Republicans upon your tickets,
and then elect them by larger MAORI
ties than ever before!

State Teachers, Institutes.

The Spring Series of the State
Teachers Institutes will be held under
the personal direction of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, as fol.
lows:
At Lapeer, beginning Monday,
March 18th at De Witt, beginning
Monday, March 25th at Lowell, be-
ginning Monday, April 1st; at Three
Rivers, beginning Monday, April sth.
Each Institute will continue in SEES
sion ten working days. AS the instruc-
ton is given in regular courses, it is
desirable that those proposing to be-
come members should be present at
the beginning. ODD
Ample testimony, both from School
Officers and Teachers, has been given
to the great interest and value of these
Institutes. The Teachers who have
attended have confessed themselves
greatly benefited, and School Officers
have testified that the Schools taught
by such Teachers have been the best
Schools. The number of petitions for
Institutes are yearly increasing in the
State, and these petitions come often
est from those who have before attend
ed them. .-iat roe ~ %
Able Lecturers have been engaged,
and every effort will be used to make
this series of Institutes equal, if not
superior, to any that have preceded
them. The instructions will be
thorough and practical, and of great
value to those who are proposing to
teach. Every Teacher should endeav-
or to attend. nas H1
Board and Observation-Disclosures
have been given that board will, in
most cases if not all, be free, especially
to those who are in attendance at the
outset, to occupy the boarding places
provided. No charge is made for in
struction. b ga
N. B.-The gratuitous entertainment
provided for Teachers is a generous
contribution of liberal and public-spir-
tied citizens to the Schools of their
Counties. None but Teachers, there
fore, should apply for this hospitality.
All are invited.-Teachers and those
proposing to teach are especially in
vited, and all others are welcome to at
tend the exercises. n6g ascb
School Officers who shall receive this
circular are respectfully requested to
show it to Teachers in their vicinity,
and to urge their attendance.

Queer Solicitude.

The Saturday N. Y. Tribune has a
very savage onslaught upon Mr.. Doug
las, accusing him of design to break
up Mr.. Lincoln's Administration. We
have no doubt but that this is Mr..
Douglas design, and we think that he
will richly bear watching, and is a safe
man to always put in back seat at
Republican feast. But why should the
Tribune oppose him /? Did it not pre-
fer him to Mr.. Lincoln in the Illinois
Senatorial contest? Was he whit
honester, or more Republican then
than he is now? And why its tender
ness for the integrity of Mr.. Linooln's
Administration Is it not trying eve-
ry day to weaken that Administration
by playing off one faction against an
mother? And is it not bent upon break
ing up Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet by driv-
ing Mr.. Seward ont of it? If it shall
succeed, it will do no more or less than
Mr.. Douglas is trying to do, and if we
are to be Killed anyhow, it matters lit
tie who is the executioner. Our opin-
ion is that both Mr.. Douglas and the
Tribune will fail, as we are very sure
they ought to.--Det. Tribune.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1861-03-21

Now that it is decided that Mr.
Lincoln will retain Mr. Seward in his
Cabinet, and will further approve his
position by taking Mr.. Cameron to his
confidence, it becomes palpable that
the assaults on Mr.. Seward are equally
intended for Mr.. Lincoln; for if the
latter considered that Mr.. Seward had
left the Republican party, as has been
charged, be would not retain him as
Secretary of State. Let Republicans
understand this matter. Any attic mt
to break down Mr.. Seward, as matters
now stand, is an attempt to break down
Mr.. Lincoln's Administration. Renub-
licans who are not prepared for the
latter, will see the folly of giving any
aid or encouragement to the former.
1t is the duty of every, true, Republi-
can to strengthen the administration
OF ms party, i'm the perilous hour in
which it enters upon its duties, We
are CONFIDENT it will do nothing I'M
worthy the great party itrepresents.

The Revision Coming.

The Releigh on. C.) Standard has
this hit at the leaders of the secession
movement: e- ESD
"There is no democracy in the ac-
ton of the Southern oligarchs. The
people qoere rushed out Of the Uaaio,,
without the privilege of being heard at
the polls; and in Georgia the idea OF
the people having the right in the last
resort to shape their own destinies was
sneered at by Cobb and Toombs. Such
things cannot endure. A revulsion
will take place sooner or later, which
will vindicate the majesty and power OF
the people and sweep the oligarchs
from the face of the EARTH" .so9 -

Standard, received the third challenge
for this season last week. He refuses

Union Incidents

Among the good things at Wash
ington, were occasional instances of
Union men from the seeding States.
They were uniformly good takers, and
as Jealous for the enforcement of the
law as were our Bell-Everett friends
last summer. One Of them was Col.
Lane, of Alabama, who expressed the
opinion that his cousin 10, of Oregon,
was not the wisest of men. He said
he had run up the stars and stripes on
his house when he left home, with or
ders to his boys to shoot any one who
touched the halyards, and to keep the
old flag floating at all hazards until he
returned. -.
A Mr.. s., of Maryland, was in the
Senate galleries, when Andy johnson
closed his great Union speech. twill
be recollected that the applause was
terrific and that the galleries were
cleared. S. tells the story thus-wise !:
l saw that we must cheer, and if we
did we must be cleared out. And so
when the boys "let in" / allowed we
might as well be hung for an old sheep
as lamb and sung out for three cheers.
We just give 'em and run for the
doors 2" The scene was really start
ling one, very derogatory to the dig
nifty of the Senate, but irrepressible in
itself. -. -.
There was a good deal of alarm on
Sunday night, and an attack on West
Point battery. stationed at Judiciary
Square, was predicted in "high official
circles" At midnight, we took stroll
that way. Double sentries were posted
and the guard-house full of soldiers.
General SCOTS precautions were every
where, and whatever may be said here,
there is nothing more certain in the
view of all intelligent men at Washing
ton, than that, had it not been for the
Old Hero of Mexico, and his active
measures of precaution, the Federal city.

bloodshed on the Fourth OF March.-I

The Leading Question.

"We may err, but it seems to US that
Mr.. Fillmore in Mr.. Stewards place
would be exactly what Mr.. Seward
appears to be. He seems to ignore the
question of extending slavery, and all
other questions connected with that
infamous institution, and to address
himself solely to saving Union. ~
Y Tribune. % af s
We desire to call attention to an an
alogy in the respective positions of Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Seward. The latter
says, that the territorial question is not
now practical one. In his inaugural
Mr.. Lincoln does not discuss it, and
hence cannot consider it of leading
Importance at this time. Congress
seems to have taken similar view of
the question, having organized three
new territories without abiding to
slavery in them one way or the other.
Mr.. Seward considers the Union ques-
ton paramount to all others, SO evident
y does Mr.. Lincoln, for he discusses
it to the exclusion of all others, thus
recognizing it as the, only question to
deal with. We have not observed that
the N. Y. Tribune has attacked Mr..
Lincoln for his position, and yet it is
precisely that of Mr.. Seward. In put
ting the Union question now before all
others, both Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Sew
ard do just what everybody else does.
Go out among the people! Does any
one argue with his neighbor about the
Territorial question ? Not at all but
how will the Union come out of this
trouble, how will civil war be averted,
are the themes of discussion. We
grant that the Territorial question was
and is the foundation of our troubles,
as the annexation of Texas was of the
Mexican war, but when the country
was once in the Mexican war. who
thought about the annexation of Texas?
The greater question, as in the present
instance, swallowed up the less. We
have no idea that either Mr.. Seward
or Lincoln have changed their opinions
upon the Territorial policy of the gov
eminent, but, we must first have a
government to own the Territories to
apply the policy to, and this they are
primarily striving for.-Det Tribune.
