TO MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.

NJ 1N1N12A&A1N 1&AAE = @A<AN<AN@s
Next Tuesday Michigan Is to decide |
whether Michigan Is for or against the
government; whether on the side Of free
dom or slavery; whether for crushing out |
speedily and forever, the rebellion.
Republicans Of Michigan! Upon yoa it
d6pends whether your State, which has
never once wayered In the struggle for lib
erty since she took her position on the side
Of justice, humanity and the Union in
1854, shall remain true to great principles
which you have 80 nobly maintained, or
cast in her lot with the enemies Of the gov
eminent Are you ready for the contest?
The election. to be held On that day is
fraught with far more momcntous conse-
queuoes, not only to your own State, but
to the government, than any ever held since
the Union was formed. It involves your
own honor and future welfare, and to the
extent Of your voice in Congress, the very
existence Of the nation.
II you, are defeated, the influence Of
Michigan viii be ~ really on the side of
the rebellion IN South CaroIina is. There
can no more be two rides to the question
before the country than there can be
a right and wrong side to the moral
actions Of men, The one Is loyal and the
| other disloyaL
And when the nation is trembling on
the brink Of ruin, it is ii criminal 10 remain
| Indifferent or neutral, as it is to be found
a1rayed against it. The man who permits
u murder to be committed which be might
prevent, is murderer. The voter who
hpgers at home from indifference, directly
aids the election Of the pro-slavery ticket
Two votes thus lost. to the Republican
ticket is equivalent to one for secession
and slavery.
Michigan was the first State to raise the
Republican banner. Let her be the1ast to
see it diahonored. Republicans have gone
to fight the traitors, while the tories have
remained ut home to open a dreeia
theIcar on the government. Bu1
the people are with them. ; 1
those who remain are trueto themselves
to the State, and to their principles, th'
honest, political masses Of all parties x1l
rally to their aupport io thousands.

bank Of the Cumberland, where the river
forms an obiuse angle, aud flows ont Of the

about y miles southeast Of Fort Henry,
and is important, as some I or post roads
intersect at this point, and the Memphis

miles south of it, 1t controls the river as

votes OF oil pRriics-not because any party or
the representative Of any party, preferred the
oompusory features OF The bill TO oil the other
propositions; but rather because they seemed
a NECESSITY Those most earnest for ihis meas.
ure would have preferred some other II what
was preferable was practicable.
But Just here was the difficulty. The Gov
ernment had not and coald not procure, the
gold aud silver necessary TO mike iis Treasury
Notes redeemahe at the pleasure Of the holder.
The alternative was therefore presented OF
Treasury Notes with no higher value than at
| taches to any irredeetnable paper, or Notes TO
which should be given the legn perogatiVe OF
| gold ind silver. The most eminent inanciers
Of the country after the most eaFefal thought,
indicated their preference for the latter, and
| Congress has wisely, We thinh, ooneurred IN
| this expressed preference, as necessiiy, and
| not from choice.
We believe the result will be satisfactory. :
The Notes will Immediately enter into the nc
tive currency Of the country, aud perform thet
functions with a sieadinrss Of value which will
oonIound their opponents, and justify the action
of those who had the sagncty to suggest the
measure. aud the bOldness to press il to sue
cessful issue.
In saving this, however, we have no desire
to even seem 10 censure those who opposco
the bill. 1t involves principle which, undei
ordinary circumstances, could not for moment
be justified. But the necessities Of the Gov
ernment, aud the exigencies OF war, were i'm
perative; and to meet these exigencIes lessons
learned in times Of peace, bad to be forgotten
aud principles applicable to such times had L
he ignored. Aud in all this, we have full faitl
that the credit and good name of the Govern
! ment will suffer no serious detrimcnt.

The order Just issued relative to the pub
lication of war news is intended, says ;he
Cleveland Herald, to remedy a very serious
evil-to Wit The communication of intend,
ed movements by our troops TO the Rebel
Generals. There cnn be no doubt that
military expeditions have been thwarted By
premature knowledge gained by news gath
erers, reaching the rebels through Northern
newspapers And worse than that, VIC be
lieve many soldiers of our army have bittcl
the dust, who might now be serving theiI
country, had not the rebels received infor
masion that enabled them to make more
vigorous defence than they otherwist
would have DONE The order should Iav'
heen made six months since.
We suppose the order is intended TO ap
ply TO such war news as shall convey tc
the enemy knowledge of our intended
movements, and publishes Hho comply,
strictly, with that construction of the order
will no doubt be deemed as obeying it.
The order is very general in its scope, ye
there can be no doubt what evil is intend
ed to be corrected, and hence publisher
generally, can easily conform themselves I
the order.
