ever, opponents are found already in office, and
the question is, Shall they be turned out? we
cannot as Wliigs conscientiously answer in the

be left in his place for the reasons above given and
here repeated, viz :, that he is an honorable opp-
po'iic'iii ; one however that agrees with the \Vhigs
on many most essential points, and was willing
loconfess this harmony of sentiment, when the
\Vhigs were apparently in a minority in the
country. and especially in this State. No one
opposed Mr. Hinman more zealously and siti-
ccrcly than we did. when we considered him all
we had a right to consider a man found in such
political company; but having confidence in the
representations oftliose Whigs who have been
in daily intercourse with him since he has U98"
in oilicc, that we shall not compromise our prin-
ciplcs or honor by stipporiing such ti man-and
having also the fullest confidence in the wisdom.
justice and expediency of the decision of-a cou-
\'Cnliut‘l of \Vlti_g_s, representing 121. out of the

 towns of the State, we shall now most cheer-
fully sustain him. It was tipon the some liberal
principles that the old Republican party acted.
when they left in ollice for so many years. a for-
mer Secretary, and it was these principles as
much as anv other. that’gave them their perma-
nency. until the hurricane of Jacksonism broke
tip all the old party lines.-and enabled a few
reckless and corrupt men to introduce new tests
of Democracy.

In regard ‘ to the nomination of Mr. ELr.s-
WORTH, but little need be said, except by way
of congratulation. He is well known anti lioti-
ored throughout the State by all parties. and b8
will unquestionzibly receive alarge majority of
the Vulcs of the people over allothcr candidates.
But few will qucstioti such ti result as this, ex-
cept those whose interests will sulfur by his elec-
tion. Mr. Ellsworth has been znore popular
among his opponents in his own county than ma-
in-' ()ll1el',it}ilUClllli.ll \Vliigs. and he will not be as
!lItl(2ll abused near home as he will he at a dis-
tance from it. '

Mr. ll.ttvLi:Y, the candidate for Licut. Gov-
ernor is a getitluiiiait whom the \Vhigs have of-
ten in vain solicited to take ofiice. He has» Sel-
tltllll consented to do more than to represent in
the Legislature the Senatorial District in \\‘blCll
he-. resides. He is now however. 1190" ll‘? Slaw

Our; RELATIONS wi_'rii_ GREAT Bai'r.uN.—
The bill onthis subject is now before the House.
It will probably be disposed ofiu the cqurse of
this week. ’

Letters were received by express, at ‘Wash-
ington, on the 27th inst. from Gen. Brady and
Gov, Mason, of Michigan. stating that large
bbdiesof men, arnountingin the whole, together
with a body of I_ndians,io from 800 to 1300.
were in the vicinity of Detroit, with the design
ofentering.Caiiada in hostile array, 'l__"hey were
accompanied by a longtraitt Ofwagons containing
arms, amunition, aiitl provisions. These letters
urge upon the Government. the necessity of an
immediate passage of the bill now before the

for investigating a charge of corruption against a

spam in debating the question whethertlie charge
was worthy of notice. and how the inquiry ought
