ERRATTA.-In the little poem,
Before and After the Battle" to
be found in this issue, and sorrow
fully" inscribed to the friends of the
author-among whom we are happy
to be included-occurs a provoking
error or omission of the compositor.
In the third verse, the two follow
ing lines were omitted, and should
come in after the second line in the
verse alluded to:
We're bound 30 win this battle,
And We'll do it quick and we'll.
En- PEASANT we desire to congratu-
late our poetic friend on his exhu-
berance of spirit over the result of
the election. We are not as much
elated as we had hoped to be, but in
the solitude of our Salt River re-
treat it is consolation to know that
some of our friends are hadpy. We
shall meet you again at Phillippi.
?. S.-We have found out that the
joke is lost so far as Mr.. Roller is
concerned for he is, in no sense, a
politician, not having voted more
than two or three times in the last
ten years, and then principally by
reason of personal friendship and
solicitation.

The Gresnbaok Vote.

That at least half of the National party
of Michigan were at one time Republicans
has never been disputed. That they are
still in sympathy with the republican party
on the paramount Issues Of pure elections.
and of preserving the constitution and the
rights of all the people snder it is inquest
ionable. Has not the time come when the
men should carefully consider whether any
thing can now be gained By the maintenance
of third party? We do not propose here to
discuss causes. But We assert with conf
dence that no thoughtful member Of that
party can hope for success in Michigan
Nationalism has turned the corner and is
weaker now than il was in the Autumn of
1878; much weaker even than it was in
the spring of that year. Therno sanguine
Nationals in the State. aftei examining the
returns Of the recent election, must admit
this. They NAV lament it. rs Others may
rejoice over il, but the fact remains. In
1873 the Nationals elected a majority of the
supervisors of Calhoun county; two weeks
ago they elected only three. In Lansing
the $50 National votes Of 1873 have fallen
away to 10. The 9.ijG votes cast by them
in WAYNE County. outside Of Detroit, in
1873, have dwindled TO less than 500. And
the same story ofa diminished vote comes
from every quarter of the State and is sus-
taDed By the fact that this year the number
of supervisors just elected by them in Mich
igan is greatly reduced from the figures of
two years ago. Nothing is more clearly es-
tablished in American politics than this:
when third party once begins TO lose
ground il never afterwards RECEIVERS. The
National decay has begun, and there can be
no doubt j will continue. The day for be-
lieving in the possibility of National success
in Michigan has passed. With these facts
before them there is but one wise course
open TO the men who temporarily abandoned
the Republican party. They have no SYM
pathy with the Democrats. They have no
desire to abandon the emancipated race to
the merciless. domination Of their South
ern prosecutors AID the true place for
them, now that National success is hopeless,
is back in she republican ranks, lending the
oid-time yigor to crushing their old-time
enemy, the Democratic party.

Still They Come.

The surplus populations of the old world
are focking TO this country in largely in
creased numbers. Since the first of January
nearly 10000 have landed at Castle Garden.
New York, and these report the transporta-
ton Offices. in the countries from which
they came. crowded with those who will
follow.
OF the immigrants already arrived the
Germans continue to lead in point of num-
bers. and following these in the order named,
come the Irish, English, Swedes, and ltal-
ians. About sixty per cent start, at once,
for the great West where friends have
places secured for them, or where they will
take UP lands and make homes for them
selves. II is estimated that the average
amount of money, brought by each immi-
grant, is $50, and taking this as basis the
wealth of the country is increased byAbout
three and one-half millions. But by far the
greatest source of wealth is in the strong
arms that will wress from the soil the vast
products. Of which our western territory is
capable. r -,4t
