The Penlnsular Courier announces itself
in favor OF II. p. Baldwin and says:
Ex-Governor Grape is not to be re-nOm-
mated, as now seems probable, the general
preference so far as We have heard any ex-
/ preston. seems To he in favor of H. Z.
Baldwin. OF Detroit Mr. Baldwin is one Of
the best business men in the State and is
in all respects a worthy, safe, and reliable
man. While always true 10 principle, he
has never been n wire-puller, and Is one Of
the men that the people spontaneously
trust He has, besides "A personal popular

Ing times which are very likely 10 come
within the next two or four years. There
are several good soldiers in the State whom
We should like 10 see on our ticket this
fall: and we have no doubt that when the
head of the ticket is agreed upon, they will
be properly remembered. We are not in
favor of nominating anybody on the ground
solely that be has held the Office one term;
but expect to see ticket put in the field
with reference TO qualifications alone. The
idea OF candidates or Office holders having
claims is thoroughly exploded; and how
ever il mey be with individuals, we believe
the Union men OF the State will heartily re-
spOnd to a ticket with Mr.. Baldwin at the
head, and equally good men for the other
Offices
A correspondent of the Lapeer Clarion
also favors the nomination OF IL. L. Bald
win, and thinks that county would prefer

late announcement Of the Jackson Citizen,
that H. G. Wells would not accept the nom

"What authority the Citizen may have
/ for saying that Mr. Wells will not accept
the nomination for Governor, We know not.
/ Some of that gentleman's friends say be will
accept, II nominated.
/ The Paw Paw True NOrtberner expresses
itself as follows:
1.-The most prominent candidates are
/ Hon. III. II. CrapO, our present worthy gov
ernOr. and Hon II. q. Wells, Of Kalamazoo.
! Others are named but these are the most
prominent. In our humble opinion, Gov
ernOr CrapO Is the man that will command
/ the whole strength of the party, and though
we have no doubt as to the result, the
/ larger the majority. the better the moral
effect. if the moral sensibilties Of the "my
( policy man AZ Washington can be touch
/ ed. 4 majority OF 20, 900, would make the
+ Johnson party look about tor where 10 lay
/ its bones. Mr.. Wells may be strong man,
but from extensive observations, the people
OF this county prefer Governor CrapO, 10
any other man who is now before the peO-
pie Ii Governor CrapO is shelved, We
would call for some OF the brave men TO
/ lead Us, that have led their commands
through the black smoke OF Southern battle
fields. Give our returning soldiers share
OF the hOnOrs of home; ill all offices with
/ those who are worthy and well qualified
from among them. The " my policy party
will make a strong effort to secure the sold
ier'5 vote, but We hope that il justice is done
them, they will remain with those who have
always beiriended them.
We shall urge the reelection of the pres
ent incumbent, as the strongest and best
qualified man that can be elected Beley-
/ ing this, we shall labor to secure delegates
TO the State convention, who will cast their
votes for him, first last, and every time. -
