Result in the state.

Thsreturns from the State come in
very slowly, but sufficient have been
received to show that Michigan is in
tensely loyal to it's inmost core. So far
as the vote of the State has been re-
ported, it'sbows either increased ma
jorities in the Republican, or dimin-
ished majorities in the Democratic
Towns and Cities-indicating that the
State has gone Republican by at least
10000. This result appears in the face
OF the most determined, systematic,
and INSCRIPTIONS opposition eyer Of
fered in Michigan, since the inaugura.
ton of the Republican party. This re-
suit will rejoice the hearts of our sol.
diers in the field, and loyal citizens
everywhere. The people of this State
haveagaindeolared that the overnment
must be sustained in putting down this
internal rebellion, and that too, by yer.
dict that is not to be mistaken by the in
famous copperhead sympathizers with
treason. All hail Michigan.

Gen. Fosters Situation.

While many are solicitous for the
welfare of General Foster and the gal
liant men under his command at Wash.
ington, n. c., it is the opinion of mill
tary men acquainted with him and his
present situation, that he is equal to the
task before him, and that he will be
more than match for the rebels in the
dilemma, in which he is placed. His
"situation" is thus described:
Newbern is situated near the head
of the Neuse river, which empties into
Pamlico Sound. A peninsula from 90
to 80 miles in breadth, comprising
parts of Craven and Beaufort counties,
intervenes between the Neuse and the
Pamlico river, which also pours into
the Pamlico Sound above. Washing
ton is about thirty miles from Newbern
by land, and over hundred miles by
water. The channel of the Pamlico
near Washington is very narrow, and
the rebel batteries on Swan Point,
which juts from the south side, are said
to be strong enough to prevent the
passage of any but iron-clad gun boats.

Power OF THE UNION LEAGUES
The Washington Chronicle has an able
article advocating the establishment OF
these associations everywhere that two
or three loyal men can be gathered to-
gether. 1t predicts that "before six
months have transpired these Leagues
will have gathered such multitudes,
and will have such an over mastering
influence in behalf Of she perfect and
entire Union of these States, that not
dog of all the miserable traitors in
the land shall dare to wag bis repgue. D
Their establishment in New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Michigan has com
pletely purified public opinion, and
smothered the baleful hissings Of the
Copperheads.

Close of Volume Five.

This issue of the REPUBLICAN ends
volume five. When we started this
journal, five years ago. we made con-
tract with certain parties, representing
the Republican party of Cass county,
to publish Republican paper in this
village for the term of Eve years. With
this issue oar part of the contract is
fulfilled. How well we have succeeded
we leave for our readers to Judge. We
have endeavsred to do our duty faith
fully and honestly; and with con-
seriousness of having performed our
part of the contract to the very letter,
we shall commence volume six with a
determination to make it as good a
paper as the support we receive will
warrant. What the REPUBLICAN will
be in the future, therefore. depends very
much upon the patronage it receives.
We shall, at this time, lay down no
rigid political platform of principles,
nor make. any specific promises by
which our course is to be guided in the
future nor is it necessary, as the paper
will continue to be politically in the
future Just what it has been in the past
On the great principle of Human Free
dom, as set forth in the Declaration oil
Independence:-"We hold these truths
to be self.evident that all men are Gre
ated equal, and have right to life, lib
srty and the pursuit of happiness" we
hang all our hopes, and to accomplish
this great end we shall continue to di
rect all our efforts. In conclusion, we
respectfully ask all our subscribers to
continue along with us, but if there
are any who do not wish to take the
paper, we shall be thankful if they will
inform US Of the fact, otherwise we
shall continue sending it to all our old
subscribers. sn

that, the English Government would
find where these vessels were going to.
and would write to the Emperor of
