DETROIT, March 6.-The Democratic State
Convention met Ia this city yesterday and Or
ganized by eleeting Il. Fl. Riley, Of st. Joseph
couaty, permanent President. Attendance
was large--fally fve: hundred were present,
and the proceedings harmonious throughout
It was deemed inexpedient to nominate candi-
dates for State officers at this tine.
4 resolution was passed expressive Of the
position Of the Democracy Of Michigan in the
present crisis; promising to support the Gov
ernment in ali constitutional means to sup
press the rebellion, and opposing the termf-
nation Of the war, until a1f resistance to the
: Government under the Constitution every
where ceases. Abolhionism is strongly de-
nounced as equally guilty with Southern Sc
eessionism, and the speedy extinction OF both
Fremont's proclamation and Cameron's re-
port, and the appointment Of the present Sec
retary of War, as indications Of the Presidents
intention to adhere to the Constitution de-
nouncing corruption and extravaganee, aud
demanding honesty and economy in the ad-
ministrati0a Of the Government.

out children. He was reelected.
John Q. Adams, 9th President. had chill
dren. He was not re- elected.
Andrew jackson, 7tb President, had no

was fit for. He began humbly as an eX-
change broker, and went on to be banker OF
the Landgrave of Hesse, whose private for
