their sufraSes.
Al the head Of the Republican ticket We have
the name of Austin Blair, who hiss been Cover
nor Of the State for nearly two years. in the moot
Tying time which il has ever been the lot of the
people OF this country to experience; and We
submit to the people Of Michigan. il be has not
discharged the arduous duties of bis Office ably
and faithfully. R.s be not stood up like true
man and patriot in the exigeucies Of the hour,
ard robly won for himself and the State, the
hooor OF having placed in she field better troops,
at less expense, than any other State in the
Union! Has be not in all things sho~n him
self the man of executive ability, exactly suited
TO the position which be occupies, in these peri
lous times? Has be not done all in hi. power,
and in the power of the State, in complying With
the demands OF the General Government: Has
be not faithfully, honestly, zealsusly supported
the Government in the suppression Of the rebel
lion: Is he not nov doing is! Does anybody
doubt his disposition to do SO in the future
Why should any patriotic supporters OF the Gov
eminent nov abandon him and his friends, TO
try new and untried man?
Who is Byron G. Scout, and shat are his Al.
tacedents! He is q young man Of mediocre
ability; who has had but little experience in
public af.irs. Ambitious and aspiring no doubt
he il; but in times like these, We need rulers OF
experience, sound judgment, and a knowledge
Of the needs Of the county. He is put forth IS
q candidate By a party claiming TO be the party
which supports the Government. What is his
record! On the 18th of January, 1852, the ju-
dietary Committee Of the Senate Of this State,
through Mr.. 8. L. Whitney, its Chairman, intro
duced series Of resolutions, Of which the fol-
lowing ia the substance
Resolved. (the House coucurring). That Mich
igan, loyal 10 herself and TO the Federal Govern.
ment, r.aiirms her uEdy ing hostility TO traitors,
ber abiding love for freedom, and her confidence
in the wisdom and patriotism Of the national ad-
ministrstion.
Resolved, (the House concurring), That the
people Ut Michigan deem It the imperative duty
OF the government, to speedily put down all ill.,
su:rection against It's authority aud sovereignty,
by the use OF every constitutional means, and by
the employment of every energy it possesses !;
that Michigan stands Ii 10 in her determination
TO sustain by men and treasure the constitution
and the Union, and claims that the burthen OF
loysi men should be lshiened, Us far ~ possible,
by confiscating u the largest extent the proper
" Of all insurTectionists and that as between
the institution OF slavery and the maintenance
Of the Federal Governments, Michigan does not
hesitate to say, that in such An exgeDcy, slavery
should be swept from the land AID our country
be maintained.
Upon the final passage, the name Of BYRON
G. STOUT is recorded as voting against the reso-
lutions.
He is opposed to the policy Of con6scatng reb-
el property under any circumstances, and has
declared that between con6sca,ion and the pres.
ervation Of the Union, he should have little to
choose, believing that The act to contiscate the
property of rebels in arms against the Govern
ment is unconditional!
Nov, if this is the kind Of support that Byron
G.. Stout proposes to give to the Government, 10
putting down the rebellion, the Government,
like poor old Job, will pray to be delivered from
rs friends.
Az between the respective candidates for Lieu
tenant Governor, the same difference of opinion
exists, il relation to the support due to the Gov
eminent, as exists between Mr.. Blair and Me-
Stout. On the passage Of the above resolutions,
The mare of Henry II. Riley is recorded along
side Of that of Mr.. Stout-among the nays.
For the Office of State Treasurer, as We under
stand it, there is but one candidate in the field

honor o. OF being placed in such company. In
his card of declina,ion. he strongly recommends
the election OF JOHN OWEN, and We honor his
judgment.
With Rodney C. Paine, the fusion candidate
for Auditor General, we are unacquaiated, and
know not his political sentiments; but take il
for granted that he is Of the same stripe Of those
with whom he is associated. The Republican
candidate, EMIL ANNIE, We do know, and know
him to be an unconditional supporter of the Ad
mnistra,ior. He is a polite, digni6ed aud tai
ensed German, of profound learning and large
experience in political matters. He il thoroughly
imbued with Republican principles. and for sha.
cause was. like Carl Schurz, Franz Sigel and
other eminent Germans, driven from his father.

James B. Porter is now Secretary Of State,
and Samuel s. Lacy Commissioner of the State
Land Office, aud both deserve to be re elected,
il faith!usese and ability are considered merito-
rious in public officers. William R. Montgome.
ry, NJ. Porter's opponent, is new and unknown
man. NJ. Heyernan, Mr.. Lacy's opponent, is
known only to his own disgrace and disadvan-
tsge.
Albert Williams, the Republican candidate for
Attorney General, is a new man in the political
field, but he is very highly spoken of by his
neighbors. both as q lawyer and . gentleman.
His opponent, John T. Holmes, 10 said to be an
outspoken sympathizer vi.h the South.
John Il. Gregory. the present accomplished
Of Public Instruction, 10 too we'll
known throughout the State to need any com.
mendation from US. he has done more for the
cause of education than al bis predecessors put
together, ard Mr.. Sinex shows bis good sense
BY declining to be candidate against him.
