Frbpekick 0. Prince. Secretary, New York, Jan. 12, 186-1. ' FOUR YEARS AGO. In 1860, when the Democratic party law that thu National Whig, acting with lhe so-called Republican party, had boon overruled and subjected to the Abolition ists, lh?y resolved to, and did, make a powerful effort to convince those whigs and the people generally of the truth that toegro equality and disunion were the sure design of the Abolitiouists, and that the rights of the States, and hence of the peo ple, would inevitably be crushed by the success of the ticket and policy adopted and inaugurated by tho 44 Chicago Plat ionn" Contention. Last Saturday a proposition to give tho right of suQ'rago to negroes, in Washington, was gravely discusffd in tho Abolition Senate of the Uuitod Staters. ! Tho last gulden link in our national f.rninciU between the venerable statesmen of the past and tho gambling legislation of the present was sacrificed in that ear am "uff.vt.". Douglas was lo?t to tho nation anil bi: friends in that fdruggle; the man who, w ilh Miosis of his rointoers, had worked with a labor never before known, to demonstrate the truth of the proposition nbovo, aud to satisfy the can did judgment of tho voters, that war, debt, and insupportable taxation, with ail their demoralizing influences, would nec essarily follow the election of Abraham Lincoln. The Bacnfice aud the warnings were alike unheeded. That ticket succeeded, nnd Lincoln was elected. Almost four years have elapsed, and where is tho prophesy? where the record ! Or where is the national currency " and financial prosperity we enjoyed then ? And oh, 'God! where are the fathers, brothers and sods tacriticed in the verification of those prediction of the democratic party! A solomn echo from the grave answers, where All that was predicted has been fulfilled and Mill thi murderous havoc 009 on without even yet an car for com promise or any sign of reluming, on the pari of the administration, to its consti tutional duties. Is the nation verily dead, and have tho people slept the sleep of political death f Next November will answer these questions, nod no voter bhould think of voting without repeating to himself that little volume of suggestive truth and hi&tory 44 four years ag," tho tT.era repetition tells him where ho was, where ho hn been, and where he is.

Tho Dem ocratic Slato Convention, one of the most iuqmrtant ever held iu Michigan, conven ed at Detroit, in Merrill Ilajl, for tho pu-. tiose of electing delegates to lhe National Democratic Convention, to bo; held at Chicago, on the 4th f July next. The most perfect unanimity and eartiestness characterized tho proceedings throughout. Tho Convention promptly disposed of tho business in view and evinced an unyield ing determination to redeem Michigan from the thraldom of disuuion abolition misrule. Tho work of redemption now commenced will be surely and speedily accomplished in due time. The best of fcpirit prevails iu tho democratic party iii cverv part of tho Stale, even in tho small est and most remote corner. Let every democrat adhere firmly to tho principles of truth and justice which in the end shall alone savo our country from dirgraco and inevitable ruin. Our space will not ad mit of the entire proceedings, henco'tho following brief synopsis: The Convention was duly organized by choosing J. L. Butterfield, of Jackson, permanonl Chairman of tho Convention. On motion, tho following Secretaries were chosen, Jacob Barns and J. D. Weir, of Wayne; J. II. Waldo, of Ingham;- J. C. Blanchard, of Ionia. Ou motion, tho Convention proceeded to elect DELEGATES AT LA ROE, John S. Barry; alternate, S. C. Coffin. A. C. Baldwin; alternate, Wm. M. Fen ton. Alpheus Felch; Dr. Peter Klein. N. Barlow; alternate, D. A. Noble. The following were chosen unanimously DISTRICT DELKOATE3, First District Theodore J. Cam pau, of Wayne; alternate, William S. Edwards, of'llillsdale, David A. Noble, of Munroe; alternate, Henry Hart, of Lenawee. Second District Unfits W. Landon, of Berrien ; alternate, Wm. Francis, of Allegan; Clark S. Potter, of Kalamazoo; alternate, Harvey Warner, of Branch., Third District -Geo. W. Peck, of Ing ham ; alternate, John M. French, Jr., of Eaton; David Johnson; alternate, J. D. Wooly, of Calhoun. Fourth District Henry Farlick, of Kent; alternate, Manly D. Howard, of Ottawa; Samuel W, Odell, of Muskegon ; alternate, John Lewis, of Motilclam. Fifth District -W. L. Bancroft, of St. Clair; alternate, ,W. L. Wells, of Livingston; J. M. Wattles, of Lapeer; alternate, J. M. Hoy t, of Oakland. Sixth District Iluyh McCurdy, of Shiawasseo; alternate, II. J. Buckley, of Houghton; Michael Jeffers, of Saginaw; alternate, Charles Plumstead, of Clifton. Mr. Patterson, of Kent, ollored the fol lowing resolution, which was unanimous ly adopted : Resolved, That the democratic party of the State of Michigan stands now, as ever heretofore, upon the platform of thu Union, the Constitution and the suprem acy of the laws. Certain American journals like the New York Times, have made haste to applaud the disgraceful surrender of Col. Arguellcs by Mr. Seward, on tho ground that by doing this small evil, the Secre tary of State would accomplish the great good of liberating n number of hapless negroes from bondage. We commend to thoso journal an itcrh of news which has just reached us from Cuba. It is to this effect: 44 The thousand negroes liberal ed by RrgncUe.s have hern delivered over as slaves to Zulueta, on iht ground that their seizure teas illegal" Grant is geitlng exactly into General McClcllan's footsteps. Will the same abuso be showered upon him that a por tioned partisan press showered upon Mc Clellan ? 44 What," says an exchange, "can abolitionism do now! We await the bursting of the storm with curiositv. Grant i-j doomed. Grant will bo smoth ered with abolition stipk-pots." , Tho provocations are the same and evon great er, to attack Grant. Let turn read the military fate in : the. history . of bi'pr cleoiot.' '.''r;.'. Andrew (JgossoN, (he Military Gov ernor of Tennessee, and the candidate of tho office-holders for tho Vico-PresidoncyTj bears witness lathe policy of. the admin istration partyas follows;: ;',',' j if f . .41 There are 1 wo parties in -.existence who want dissolution. Slavery, aud a Southern ' Conf'deracy '.is' the 'ii6bby,-y Sumner wants to' break vp the govern ment, and so do abolitionists generally. They hold that'if -Slavery survives, the Union cannot endure. Secot,sipnists ar gue, that if the Union ' coutinuo SIaeery is lost. ' Abolitionists want no compro mise, but they regard peaceable secession as a humbng. ' The two occupy the same ground. Why, abolition is 'dissolution f dissolution is secession; one is thr oth er. Both are striving to accomplish the same cuject." " v ' , Andrew Johnson tells, the .truth, and wo do not eavy him his position, now that he. has gone into partnership with Sum ner, w ho 44 wants' to break up the govern ment." lie how stands on, the, abolition platform, and 4aholition is: dissolu tion." , ; " . ' ', ' "Had Mr Bretkiniidg ,Mn Dotigjai, or Mr. Bell been elected," there would have been no rebellion."- A'. Y. Times. That is so; and we'aro-glad tluJt the Times finally sees what sensiblo men have all along seen, viz: that the putting of Lincoln and his insane partisans into power was tho cause of this gigantic war. The only way now to remedy thi:$ is to put Liucoln out and put a conservative democrat in. The Columbus, correspondent of the Cincinnati Comercial says: 44 Another of those impressive but sad scenes. "was wit nessed, to-day, in the return of tho 58th Ohio Regiment. Of full 1,000 Germans who left the city three Years ago, with pennants tlnng and martial tnusic, barely ono hundred bronzed veterans filed mournfully-into tho Stato House yard, today." - - ; A very singular accident occurred on tho Central Railroad, near. Schenectady, on Thursday last. A workman of the company, named Arthur Lyons, got up on a train at West Albany, and stood up upon the platform of a car. While look ing out to see another train pn?s, he fell between the cars. H appeared, subse quently, that ono train cut off his head' and the other his feet. The Confederate steamer Georgia it for sale nt Liverpool. Supposo our gov ernment buy her and seo if thoy can't sail her fast enough to catch the Florida and Alabama. Sho has been so fast, as a rebel pirate, as to outsail everything wo have, and must have some speed left. A lady riding in an omnibus on Pen sylvania Avenue, in Washington, espied the unfinished dome of the Capitol, and modestly inquired, if that (the dome), was not tho gasworks.. 44 Yes, madam, for tho nation," replied a fellow passenger. A Frenchman writing a letter in Eng lish to a friend, and looking in tho dic tionary for the word preserve, and finding it meant pickle, wrote as follows: 44 May you and your family bo pickled to all etcrnitv." The Lousvillo (Ky.) Journal truly re marks: 44 It is the most awful part of tho war that the President of tho United States cousiders his own re-election the chief purposo to bo accomplished by it.' John W. Fornev, thePresidentV friend and mouth-piece, calls, in the Philadel phia Press, ndhering to tho Constitution, 44 clinging to the dead letter of the old un chirstian bond." Tee Boston Traveler (Abolition) says: "Balls and bayonets will make our iroxt President." Then if the people are not slaves and cowards, balls and bayonets will unmake. Gen. Sioel has been superseded, and Gen. Hunter takes bis place as command er of West Virginia and tho Shenando ah Valley. -. . Some say the formation of the 44 Inva-i lid Corps' is without warrant of law. If it is not illegal, how raS it b 'in-iaU UiJ . . , . . . ' . - i j jDIEt?.'
