LANSING STATE REPUBLICAN
Tl'MDAT NOHSIXG, OCTOBER IN, IM3tt.
October Elccllowa.
Hlfo Republican cn hope for brighter
akies than thoso which shed light upon mc
returns from tlie elections of Tuesday
Ut. In Ol.io glorious Ohio, a clean sweep
id made, and the fooling up t.Low3, even by
Icofoou admission, a tkaii majority of .Set
ra.rr Thousand probably greater. There
will be a "Pugh" to let ia the Kuchanan
Meeting-House, in a very few weeks, in Ohio.
In Pennsylvania, Buchanan bites the du-t,
and the sting of his defeat ia the more exas
perating. That arrow which pierce him ha
been whetted and poi.-oned by hid oi l bosom
fiend forney.
The great lit log principle of Free Labor, id
onward in its march, sweeping before it, all
opposition, and planting its banner farther and
further weitward, as it proceed, keepir-g even
step with cirilization and settlement. In the
States of rena-yivania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
and Minnesota, victory id the word, an J in
neither of these St a tee, remains the first vestige
of Locofoco Supremacy. Lvetijyoung Minneaota

The Republicans are known to have gained one
Senator and two Representatives in Ramsay, one
Senator an 1 one Representative in Anoka, and
probably liva Representatives in Dacotah.
Democratic gain four in Winona. There is
but little doubt of the election of Republican
Congressmen, Governor, State ticket, and both
branches of the Legislature.
Thid news well pays such men as Bingham
and Chandler, Colfax, Grow, and Carl Schurz,
for their labor in that new vineyard. It if
painful to observe the elTort of tho Detroit
Fret Prtta, to soften the effect of this perfect
crash of diiustrou news, to the ears of its
readers. With assiduity to conceal and palliate,
it give forth a column of most lachrycoso jer
emiad.
The party of slavery are fairly routed from
all power, through the Free States, and hence
forth, so long as Republicans are true to their
faith, judicious in their nominations, and concil
iatory among themselves, there need be no fear
that slavery will stroke its bloody locks again
north of Mason and Diion's line, in a generation.

Ed. RirrtitiCAN Th election news from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, and Iowa, come
booming in upon us with glorious Republican
majorities. 1 1 in quite evident in Pennsylvania,
that ' the Quakers have voted," and the verdict
i a complete repudiation of " favorite Son" of
that patriotic Slmte. Unehanan left Wa.shiugt n
and went b Wheatland just bcf.we. election to
spread Lis ekctryfying ir-tluencis among the peo
ple to vole tie IN-of.H-o ticket. Just ad the
news began ! jMire in be taken with a sud
den fit to e-r. 10 Washington, ''c liked the po
litical atmo-phero of the Federal capital best,
lie was in such hot haste to get there that he
started on f.t. In going to the depot he stub
bed bis toe ai.d measured his length upon the
ground completely atunned but whether by
the effects of tho fall or by the flection news,
the telegraph accoant dooa not say.
The Buckeys ha rolled up a majority of from
17,000 to 20,0-.io a largely increased majority
on the last election. That will do for the pork
eaters. The young and vigorous State of Min
nesota, has sent her edict to Washington against
the infamous Lccompton swindle, and the whole
infamous policy of the present administration.
Becker, Locofoco candidate for Governor, from
present returns is badly whiped. Becker is a
Michigan boy a son of the late II. Becker of
Ann Arbor, and was educated i:i the right polit
ical faith, but getting out there, surrounded by
the Locofoco patronage of the Federal Govern
ment, he apostosized for office. While Minnes
ota was a Territory, controlled by Federal ofli
cers, she wa Locofoco, but when the people
came to act in their sovereign capacity, they
turned up Republican. Perhaps young Becker
ia not past repentance, and may hereafter become
converted to his first love. Senator Rice is also
from Michigan, having went front Kalamazoo,
lie also, I believe, was once opposed to the Lo
cofoco party. He had better bo setting his
house in order.
The Supreme Court id now ia session, and this
morning delivered their opinion i:i the celebrated
Tyler case, involving the jurisdiction of the I".
S. District Couit t. try Tyler for shooting Capt.
Jones, on the Canada side of the St. Clair River,
on board the schooner Concord. The opinion
was unanimous against the U. S. jurisdiction.
Ton will remember the circumstances of the
Tyler case. He was a deputy V. S. Marshal,
attempting to seize the vessel out of the juris
diction of the United States. His trial iu the
District Court of the U. S. was looked upon as a
most magnificent farce, and the verdict was ditto
being a fine of one dollar and 2 days in our
rickitey old jail for a conviction of manslaughter.
He was indicted in the Circuit Court of St. Clair
Co. for murder, and after the expiration of his
sentence he was taken to St. Clair on the indict
ment, when he plead the trial and conviction iu
the U. S, District Court in bar, and the question
was tent up t tho Supreme Court. He will
bow be tried in the St. Clair Circuit
Our State Fair was a perfect success in every
respect. All the department of industry were
fully represented both agricultural and mechan
ical. Governor Banks delivered the address,
and was listened to with profound attention
by not less than 10,000 people, while it was
impossible for another 10,000 who were on the
ground to get within hearing distance. He left
a favorable impression with the people of the
State. While here he was magnificently enter
tainedone erenirg at the house of E. X. Wil
eoi, Esq., of the Executive Committee of the
Society, and the next evening at the splendid
residence of Senator Zack Chandler. Not onlv
the people of this city, but from all parts of the
the State, thronged to greet him.
Tho work of Registration List week went off
ery well, by dint of hard work to get the voters
up to register. The Locofoeos who h are howled
to loud about the unconstitutionality of the law-
were the most enger to register, and in doin so
of course committed numerous frauds, that sub
ject several f their choice spirits to a term in
tho State Prison whither they wiB surely go, if
mey persist in coo sn mating their frauds on the
sty of election. It baa already appeared that
the tame precious citiiens are registered in
two or three oifferent wards, for the purpose
of voting in all the places where they are re
gistered. Some of the Locofoco members of
the board, discharged their duties with a reckless
disregard to their oath, or the provisions of the
law. It is not intended, however, to allow them
to profit by their rascality, without paying the
penalty. Our candidate for Mayor, Mr. Chris
tian IL Buhl, will be elected by not less than
500 majority, and we shall carry the City ticket
and Council.
John II. Harmon is working with desperation,
with all his adroitness and management, but it is
" no go." He is " played out," although he is
a capital good fellow pcfonal!y,and nnny would
hke to vote for him, but for the party he is
identified with. Ill splurge "against Collector
Shoemaker is not likely t l.e'p him much in
this contest, for they refuse, as yet to lop Mi

election, John would be able to whip in a good

situations "after election." But people don't

The twenty-fourth amaul me-.-tlng of the B.ip-ll.-t
Convention of the State of i!i-!.i';i con
veiled iu this city on Thursday, ;. l:;th, nt the
Hall of the House, of Representative-.
The Board of the Convention nmsi-is i-f Rev.
W. P. Puttisoti, President ; Ilev. J. A. Clark,
Secretary; C. Ire, Fsq., Trva-.tier; ('. Van
Husan, Ksij., Auditor; with i.l.out sixty Vice
rreaidents, and thirty 1'ireetor Ti.ir Bond
have standing couiiniiics upoti the leaihng ope
rations of the Convention, and tioin tl,.- repot ts
of these several coiumittees wt- eondeti-o the
following particulars :
Rev. J. K. John-on, of Jaekn, Ctiainnan of
the Committee on Foreign Mii'tw, reported
that there have been ronirioijted t. ' funds of
the .Missionary Union, by ul the associations in
the northern and northwrsterti Slates, during
the pa-t year, about -f1." ',". Ti e entire
amount contributed by th-j Mi. hi'aii 'oiiveiuioii
to thid fund id .".V'.4 ; which, with one excep
tion, is a less amount tha'i has been contributed
from this Convention for the last ten years, while
the number of ronrnunicanM has considerably
increased during that tini-. Tni- is n I o t to he
deeply regretted, ami shon; 1 eall upon all the
churches for renewed iflorls. The number re
ported to have been baptized in the Foreign Mis
sion lield, for the year, is 1,'Ji '.
Rev. M. Allen, f Detroit, as Chairman d the
Committee on Domestic Mis-ion, r-om..i a. at
n Ix.Lin ver the field of tin' Society's oteia
lions, the Committee found that there are many
pressing applications lor aid from interenting lo
calities Ix.'th from stations already oectpied by
the Society, and others where it would be very
desirable to bestow labor nor have the Com
mittee found a lack of men who would nerve the
Society iu these fields; but the Treasu-y has
been and is still ovet drawn, and the Society has
been greatly crippled lor want of binds, of the
two hundred and nine churches reported as K
longing to the several associations of the Con
vention, only for'y-nix have contributed anything
during the year, leaving one hundred and slx;-
three churches that have contributed nothing
for Domestic Missions. Tito Board l ave ren
dered aid to eleven (stations in the State, to the
amount of f '."if..!?. Two of these stations have
been added d.iting the year. Th- i umber of
baptisms reported from all these station- for the
year is lifty-oii'ht.
The Executive Committee on Ministerial Edu
cation, in charge T the educational int-'resis o!
tho Convention, reported, t'irou;h their rhah
uian. Rev. S. Haskell, thrr, in accordance with
the plan previously established by the Conven
lion, the literary department o' tho Kalamazoo
College has been the main dependence for meet
ing the present education! wants of the churches
ill the Contention ; :!, lite! i for--, the Theolog.
ical Professors, in the ai-senee ot c'isses ready
to advance in lha theological course, have been
allowed to expend their Linus mainly upon the
regular college ilasses. These college and pre
paratory classes, at present, contain forty-six
christian young men, mostly from the churches
of this particular religious body. From twenty
to thirty already anticipates entering th" minis,
try, and others are inipiiring for duty. At the
opening of the present se.idemic year, a diss of
eight ot these yours men entered to pursue,
either in p.rt or in full, the two years theologi
cal course.
The committee seem to feci that th' Conven
tion are almost within J lucking distance of the
fruit so long and anxiously hoped for, ns the re
sult of seed which has for many years been plan
ted by the sacrifices of the churches of this
Convention. The committee hare reason to
hope that hereafter, regular a: l enlarged classes,
will annually piss from the Literary to the The
ological department of the Institution, and grad
uate thence to the pu'pits ar.d labors of destitute
churches and fields. But in order to realize this
desired result the Convention must put f-th
strenuous and wise efforts.
The real estate of the College was vsued lat
year at about 3'V" which has only been
changed during the past year, by the completion
of certain work on the buildings with some im
provements of the streets and fences sut the
Ins'i'ution.
The endowment fund for support of Profes
sors, has not been changed the past year, and
amounts to $2I,42f- SI. Of this amount $1,
604 13 has been paid in and invested at 10 per
cent. The remaining portion being in promissory
notes.
The amount of iaterejt collected during the
year, from the endowment fund, :s $-35 21, and
the amount now due and ur.paid for the past and
previous years, is ? 1,7 27 So.
The subscription and notes for current expen
ses, sinking fund, &c, amount to tbont ?",2C
and the debt against the same is ij,22'X Sub
scriptions amounting to 112 "2 for the "Bene
ficiary fund" have been xradc the past year.
From this fund three beneficiaries have been aid
ed a follows : one of 40,one 6- and one 12.00.
Two other becificiane have been added to the
lis and an appropriation of 50 00 to one of
these, and $70 00 to the other, has been gnsted.
One who had been aided to the amount of
35, has left the Institution and has given hii
note to refund the same, leaving four members
on the Kit to receive aid, to whom the aggregate
appropriation of $225, L been allowed.
This fund needs to be immediately increased,
to meet the pressinz demands made upon it.
The committee are pained to report, that but
thrc-' of the churches of this body, have respon
ded to the appeals for aid in this direction of
benevolent action, so that, thus far this fund has
been mainly dependent upon a few noble, gener
ous hearted individuals.
The expense of Agency, ic, for the past year
has been $ ICC, as appears from tho report of the
"Fiscal Agent."
Tho above report, with the transaction of con
siderable miscellaneous business, occupied the
Board during the lirst day. Iu the evening, the
Rev. J. A. Clark of Adrian, preached it most
excellent and appropriate sermon from 2 Tim.,
o, .., his te being 4 The power of Godliness"
which wj.s most hapily illustrated and strongly
tntorced upon ail r of Godliness.
The holy living of the members of the church,
was clearly shown to be the great instrumen
tality by which the church is to accomplish her
mission on earth.

Tie- Board convened again this morning at S

At tin; close of the sermon this morning, a

The committee on Religious Books, &c, re
port the permanent " Book Fund" to be $1,413
!.. Interest accruing during the year and on
hand 171 which latter sum was subject to ap
propriation, and lets hen appropriated except
7 S.s.
The committee state that their efforts to gather
full statistics from all tho Churches id the Con
vention, of their Sabbath Schools, have proved
.hi entire fiihire, because of a failure of the
Churches to rcspoti 1 tn thid call. In view of the
growing importance of Sunday Schools, the
committee urge the attention of the Churches
to this growing interest.
The committee are of opinion that no similar
amount of money expended by this Convention,
has ever, or can ever produce an equal amount
of good, in any other, as well as iu this depart
ment of Christian labor.
The committee on the "Michigan Chrintiun
. r-p'.," state that this paper has been the or
:aa of the Denomination for nearly seventeen
tears, and has been greatly beneficial.
It piesent circulation, they say, is about :;oon
copits, and they urge upon all the members of
the Convention to do all they can to increase
th t circulation very largely.
The Board have made appropriations from th
Domestic Mission Fund as follows: To Rev. R.
De Roche, for the French Mission Station, at De
troit. This appears to bo one of the most
interest!! g fields oecupicd by the Convention.
Several Papists have abandoned their "Bead
Religion" and embraced the religion of the gos
p.l during the year pat. To Rev. J. Gunder
inan, for Essex and vicinity, fr three months.
Rev. W. R. Northrop, of Monroe City, has
applied for and received an appropriation from
the Board. This station has been a Mel t the
present meeting.
The Rev. I. II. Moore, from the ?tatlon in
this city, sta'ed that the church here were very
thankful for past aid, ar.d hire determined to
ask from the Bear 1 no further nsiis:tr.ce. This
church have been struggling bard to erect a
house of worship, which is non- about completed,
and is to be dedicated daring the present meet
ing of this Convention.
It has been stated by a memlter of the Con
vention that about twenty houses of worship
have been erected by the churches connected
with this liody during the year just now closed;
and durirg the same period, two valuable aitd
long-tried members f the Board have gone from
labors to rewards, by the pithway that leads
through the shadow cf death.
At 11 o'clock this mornln, the Convention,
with the community, enjoyed the privilege of
hearing a sermon from the Rev. C. P. Read, of
the State of New York ; and iu the evening, the
Rev. Mr. Haskell favored us with a valuable ser
mon, which was followed by an interesting social
meeting, which was also followed by the closing
sitting of the Convention.
The quarterly meeting .f the Board for the
ensuing year are to be Lld at IoEia, Saiine,
Kalamazoo, ar.d at Detroit the last named being
the place selected for holding the next annual
Convention.
There has been quite an amount of business
done durirg this meeting, which has been trans
acted in harmony and with dipatch. One ques
tion only has drawn oat lengthy and warm dis
cussion, and that was in reference to a change
of policy ia conducting the Seminary and College I
at Kalamazoo some thinking it better to sepa- j
rate more distinctly the Theological from the
Literary department, while by far the greater !
portion believe the present the most desirable j
and wise policy to be pursued, and this the final I
vote sustained. In consequence of this vote, J
Prof. Graves offered his resignation of the chair j
which he has so satisfactorily occupied ia the j
Institution. The resignation, to take eflcct at , irg a largo inland city I say inland, in fact,

Taking tho cars at St. Johns which " bound

rich resources of f'linton and Gratiot cotitities, -ire

a section heavily tiniVred, and but slightly set
tled; but on striking Maple river, and shortly
after, Gran 1 river, near I.yot , flr d old setth-
ments dottirg the way, ar.d the seem ry is de-
l:ghtful. This is the case al! al mg the letter
river, near which th- Detroit ard Milwaukee
Railway runs for seme thirty m'l. s, ti l it leaves
it in Kent county, ar.d the traveler sees no more
of it, except to cro it above GrareJ R.ip;i--, tillj
at its mouth at Grand Uavcn. J
Six miles below Lyons which is s,j fa- frota
the railway that the traveler has but a glimpse of j
the place is Ior.Ia, a pleasant village, and county
seat of Ionia comity. These two villages are
townships about equtl in population, the Lumber
ia each being not far fron 5 2. ''. The popula
tion of the county is cot much short of 5, "..
It is generally suppose 1 that the railway pas.;s
Grand Rapids ; and so i: dots, at, f;u::e a dis
tance. The traveler in pursuit of knowledge
under difficulties win tzi that it costs him over
eight miles cf railway fore to get from the station
to the city ; the distance to the business part of
the city beicg cearly two miles. The citizens
are making an effort to construct a light railway,
and they should not rest till this is done, so that
for a dime, at most, passengers may be set down
in front of the hotels.
Grand Rapids is as much a city ia population
and appearance as Detroit was twenty years agv.
Some of is stores will compare favorably with
the best in Detroit even now ; and though I
cannot think it will ever be as large as Detroit
cow is, it certainly gives fair promise of becom-
ieiiund. Its plaster beds below the city, but
I radically in it are an inexhaustible source of
weakh ; imd it is confidently expected that salt,
for vhieh boring is going on, w ill Siioa fie exten
sively manufactured. With euch resources,
nothing, it would seem, can slay the progress of
Grand Rap'tN ; aud her rival sister cities must
make up in enterprise w hat she has by nature,
or she wiil leave them :.ll behind.
Several villages are projected along the rail
way west of Grand Rapids, but none yet have
attaiifd any considerable ?ize until we approach
the mouth ot Grand t'ivcr. Mill Point and Fer-
hills.
These sand hills are among the greatest natural
cm iositit's on our globe. For hundreds of miles
they stretch along the western coast of our State
in some places four hundred feet higher than
the lake, and extending a mile back therefrom.
Their entire composition is tpiichsand, all of
vlucli has been washed ashore by the lake, and
piled into mountains by the wind. Many parts
of these hills are covered with a heavy growth
of pine, hemlock, cedar, c. In osne places,
the old forest has been partly or wholly buried
by it-cent deposits til "sand. In other places, the
wind has wotn away the sides, nudei mining the

The place win re thia a-ault wai committed
was recognized by the I'nited State laa and

The language of the act of t'ongress iu do

No opinion is enpressed upon the abstract
KTert of Congress to punish all Crimea commit
ted abroad by American citizens. No attempt
has ever been made by any aet ot Oongrr, mi
construed by the Federal Court, to punish any
such ofleuses unii-M in carrying ont the commer
cial powers, by punishing revolt or other acta
peculiarly relating to navigation or th good
government of ships and past-t'tigera. Treason
and military ofTensc are also of a special char
acter. I'uder former nets of ('siiigtesa to punish fel
ony and piracy, it h:is always been held, under
language as broad as that of this act, if not
broader, that it could not le considered aa the
design of Congress, to punish anv oiletisea not
substantially committed against the I'liiled Statea.
Piracies, as olb-nsea against al! rial ions, were
punishable by all nations ; but otleneea commit
ted by American citiens or by others, either on
fort-ion ifs-sels tin the high seas, or on American
vessel within a foreign jurisdiction, were not
embraced within the aet. and were not ofTenae
against the I'nited States. S. . J'almer,

in foreign waters the law would have been
passed b lore, for fcui h a case had arisen and

If the act of lfeoT applies to St. Clair l.iver, it
involves the anomaly ot punishing an asemu't oa
the water followed by death on lard, when, if
death had taken place on the spot, it could not
have been punished at a'.L There is no Exited
States law punishing ordinary manslaughter com

It would involve the further anomaly of pun

The Supreme Court of the United f-'tates,

to certain cia-sea of commerce.
It i u:.Lccfc?-ary to consider the power of
Congress to punish offer, committed as this
was, for it does not come within the purview of
this act. The V. S. Court, Laving no power to
try this indictment unless authorized by that
act, there was no jurisdiction in the court, sod
