DETROIT, Nov. Ii, 1854. /
There II one festare Of the recent CANVASS
in our State. which has so much significance,
in view Of the resn1t Of the election, that I
desire to call especial attention to it before
altogether dismissirg the subject, because I
believe Republicans elsewhere may draw
profitable lesson from it. It is the simple fact
that The Republican party refused all entang
ling allianccs With other parties, and rejected I
al1 propositions to abandon their organization, |
or to lower their standard for the sake of |
catching Or trying to catch = few t'conserya-
tiye'' votes. They planted themselves square
II upon their principles, which were a vigor- |
ous prosecution Of the var. and an uueondi- |
tional support Of all the measures OF the !
administration designed to crush out the
rebellion, including emancipation, con1sca-
uon, aud the suspension Of the writ of babeas
corpus. Unlike the Republicans in OHIO,
lnGiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York,
Now Jersey, and perhaps one Or two other
States, they declined to be deceived BY the
Union dodge. All our public speakers daring
the canvass took the moet radical ground in
their speeches. There Wis no attempt to
dodge any OF the Issues the administration
presented Or the tory press had forced upon
us; not even the position VIC had taken
.ealnst Mcclellan, or the tory charge OF radi
ca1ism. There WAS no apology On the part Of
GOV. Blair, or Mr. Chandler, or any Of their
friends, for doubling the ability and zeal Of
Mcclellan. Nor did They deny that they were
| in favor Of his removal from the head Of the
ay1ny Of the Potomac. On the contrary they
| boldly maintained their position on this SUBJ
ject before the people. They plead guilty to
the charge Of rndicalism in Its b1oadest sense
| If j, meant desire to see the rebellion speed
! i}y put down b5 the use Of all the means God
and nature had placed at our disposa1-the
3ettruction of elayeE5-the conhscation Of
reb,i property to meet the expenses Of the
war aud czush the power Of the enemy-and
the arrest OF Northern traitors. It is to this
fearless policy that We ore our victory in this
State. Had our stump speakers 1abored to
prove, as they did in New York, that our can
didates had never been daring enough te
question the infallltility Of the great tsun
ready" and that the Republican party
we're free from the fmputation of radl
caiism we should haye been as ignom;niousl,
defeated here a. we we're in those States
] where less uncompromising course was pur
sued. Wherever the Republican party stool
