The Senatorial Question.

The last Jackson Citizen has an article
on United States Senator, of tenor which
We consider quite remarkable. 1t assumes
that because Detroit now has both Senators,
there exists 4 feeling between the eastern
portion of the State and the other portions,
which feeling will grow " stronger ana
mare hitter" until q Senator shall be elect
ed outside of Detroit; and earnestly hopes
that the members Of the next Legislature
from the southern central and western por-
tions of the State will unite to a man" for
that purpose that it will not be difficult
70 find a man qualified fnr tho place: and
81 it will be easy to elect him.; that it will
Labor earnestly for that purpose; and
hopes to see all the local Republican press
labOring for the same.
We do not believe that any "strOng and
bitter feeling as to a choice Of men for
Senator exists among Republicans m aHy
part of the State; and if it did we know Of
no surer way Of increasing its power than
by putting forth such inhammatOry and sec
tiOnal appeals, endeavOring to array one
portion of the party against another, not on
any question of principle, but exclusively
of locality and choice between two very
competent and able Republicans. Is it
time for such appeals, when Il portion OF
the Republican Senators and Representa-

of them has been elected? Would not an

City Republican Organization.

The organization of the Republican party
in Lansing at the meeting on Monday even-
ing, was 4 very happy and cheering affair.
The Representative Hall was filed full az
an early hour with Republican men and
women, and an association was formed. as
will be seen 10y the proceedings in another
place.
Hon. J. ". LOngyear was then called for
and heartily greeted by the audience. and
he held their close attention during an adj
dress of nearly two hours. We have not
space even to enumerate the various topics
he went over He dwelt upon the events
of the war, expressed his strong faith in
speedy end Of the rebellion, and declared
that the call Of the President for the last
500 600 men viii be the most popular call
that he ever made. on account Of the vast
and decisive events which will follow their
appearance in the field. He also read Nc
Clellan's letter Of acceptance, in which he
says that he was for having the States re-
stored on the sole condition OF a return 10
the Union. and if they refused to come back
the ultimate Consequence Of that refusal
would be war, and would be attributable 10
themselves alone. This i the course which
Mcclellan proposes 10 commence with ,nd
carry out in putting down the rebellion
Now this was exactly what Mr.. Lincoln had
been doing from the beginning Of his ad-
miniStratiOn. During the first eighteen
months. he urged upon the rebellious states
Y to come back into the Union without any
conditions whatever but they would not
come. He then gave 100 days notice in
advance, in his proclamation OF September
22nd, 1862, that the ultimate consequence
Of persistent rebellion would be emancipa-
| ton in those States. Mcclellan proposes
to go back these two years. and make over
again TO the rebels the same offer OF uncon-
7diuonal return which Lincoln so long
ofiered.and which they 50 long refused

THE THREE PLArFoRNs.-Fo the cOnven-
fence Of our readers we have published in
tO-day's paper the three platforms put forch
by the three National Conventions. In this
form they will be found very useful for ref
erence and preservation. But for all prac-
teal purposes Of the campaign, the Fremont
platform might as well be left out. mas
much as tits scarcely mentioned in political
discussions. and we cannot learn that anv
serious demonstrations in its support are
being made or are contemplated in anv
state. ON the contrary, We should not be
At all surprised TO find the announcement
in the papers that Fremont had withdrawn
rs candidate in favor of Mcclellan. II
has been a iavorite idea with Fremont from
the beginning Of the campaign. that all the
elements of opposition to the AdminiStra-
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln should be concentrated
IN one candidate. so as to make the over
throw of the present administration absO-
lutely sure As Gen. Mcclellan. in his let
ter OF acceptance, has fully committed him
self for a restoration of the union Of the
States by war, in case it cannot be other
wise accomplished, the greatest obstacle u
the cooperation of Gen. Fremont and his
friends in the election of Mcclellan has bern
removed.
