They have elected their Governor, Lieutenant Governor, three members of Congress, and one half of the State Senate, all of whom serve Iwo years; and all the Rcpresentatives, except four. These are Mr. Vickery, of Kalamazoo, H. L. Mi] Ier, of Saginaw, J. G. Leiand, of Washtenaw, and one member from the Grand River District. The Free Press has the following table of the reported votes for The vote for Governor does not probably vary much from the Congressional ticket. FIRST DISTRICT. McClelland, dem. Howard,whig. Wayne, 630 Washtenaw, 260 Lenawee. 660 Monroey 700 Hillsdale, 250 2500 Theabove comprise all the counties in the district. Howard's maj. in the same counties at the last Congressional election was 603. SECOND DISTRICT. Lyon, dem. Williams, whig. Jackson, 500 Branch, 300 Calhoun, 400 Kalamazooj 50 Kent, 250 The counties to be heard from willcrease Mr. Lyon's inajority. THTRD DISTRICT. Jlunl, dexn. Drakerwhig. Oakland, 940 Macomb, 400 Livingston, Í35O StCIalr, 150 Genesee, 150 Mackinac, 22 The counties to hear from wíl] not materially chtinge Mr. Hunt's majority in the above counties. The Democratie majority or. thc nine State Senators is said to average ncarly 1000 each. Rír. McLeod, of Mackinaw, who is said to be the author of the repeal of the Adultery law last winter, is re-elected. - This must be a matter of considerable gratulation to the Democratie party! A friend writes from Livingston Co.: "The Liberty vote of this county at the late elcction was as follows: For Governor, 65, for Lieutenant Governor 69, Congress 67, Senator 60, Rep resentative, 60. This number though small is an increase since last year. The highest given then was 57. A few votes were reported from several towns this year from which none have been heretofore. The seed seems to be sown in 13 towns, evidently by means of the Signal, as addressing the people otherwise seems to be out of the question in our place as you are aware." In Branch County. the canvass shows the followiug result for Governor: For Birney, 59, for Barry, 619, for Pitcher, 304. The Liberty vote for the other candidates was about the same as for Birney. In Monroe County, no Liberty nomination for Representatives was made. - Nevertheless, we learn that forty-fhree votes were given for the other candidates. In London, the vote stood for Birney, 21, for Barry 39, for Pitcher 5, fhe Liberty vote being one third of the whole. This was well fora beginning. For Congress. 43 votes were given for McClelland, 15 for Porter, and 7 for Howard. Seven Counties heard from give about 1100 Liberty votes. In Green Oak, Livingston County. the vote was for Birney 21, Pitcher 27, Barry 70. In Marshall the Liberty vote was 14, in Detroit 26, in Cass County it was 40. In Wayne County, for Birnev, 130; for Representatives about 142. A friend writes us from Novi, Oakland County: "Our election is over, and strange is the result. In 1840, this town gave about three hundred votes, with a large whig majority, as was common for this town, and I suppose there are now not less than 350 voters in town, yet there were but about 170 votes polled at this election, 18 Liberty votes, with a Democratie majority of 40 to 50. I have attended election in Michigan 19 years: but never before have witnessed sueh an apparent indilierence; such a thoughtfull indecisión as was manifested at the recent election. Very many of our most reflecting men declared themselves to be completely routed, and that they were truly on the fence, did know what to do. and on the whole, would do nothing. and the result of our poll list shows the fact." The Liberty vote in the several town? in Jackson wasthus: Jackson 116, Sandstone 7, Pulaski 5, Hanover 1, Leoni 45, Rives 43, Columbia 23, Tompkins 1. Parma '12, Spring Arbor 25, Liberty 12, Concord, 21. Five towns to be heard from. The whole vote will be about 400. A friend writes us that in all the towns where lectures were given, there was an encouraging gain. In towns whcre there was no lecturing, there has been some falling off. Jackson has done noí)ly. It is the banner town! Last year the vote was 35 - this year 116. Rives, it will be seen, is fairly revolutionized. - Why will not the other towns in the County learn 7wio this has been done, and follow the example? If one town can be converíed to Liberty principies; why cannot two, three, or four be carried by simiiar efforts? We must succeed by carrying single towns, and these must be won by bringing over single voters. In 1840, about 80 votes were cast in Rives, of which 21 were for Birney the Just. The present State of parties may be learned from the following extract of a letter: "The result of the election iñ our town is os follows: The whole number of votes polled was 74, of which 43 were io James G. Birney and Luther F. Stevens. For John S. Barry 21, Zina Pitcher 10, making a majority for the Liberty candidates over both Whig and Democratie of twelve. For Senators, Erastus Hussey and Seymour B. Treadwell received each forty three votes: the Reprcsentative ticket was but one or two behind. - The Liberty vote last election was Erastus Hussey 16, V. Meeker 13. So the abolition party is dying away in our town. Owing to the bad state of the weather, or some other cause the number of votes polled was much less than formerly but had all voted, the majority would have been abtut the same." The Michigan State Gazette discourses upon the result in this county as follows: "Though we liave not been put insession of the results in the several townships in tliis county, fröm what has come to our ears, we have reason to believe that the abolitionists have greatly increased in numbers, (and notwithstanding tlie billingsgntc slang of the Signal of Liberty, thai we have heretofore uttored a falsehood in saying that a majority of them are wh.igs, in favor of all the great measures of the Whig party,) we again assert that, had they cast their votes in accordance with their political opinions, without regard to their anti-slavery feslings, the whig party would have elected its candidates. Such we believe to be the fact - and in view of it we would, now that the excitement of party strife lias for a time subsided, ask those of the abolition party who indiréctly voted to send Mr. Lyon to Congress, to ponder upon the question wh ether they have in fact regarded the interest of the slave in the course they have pursüed! Mr. Lyon is known to once have tavored Mr. Calhoun in his efforts to establish the "institution of slavery," as it is called, and we have no reason to believe his opinions have since been changed. Mr. Williams is the advocate of all the measures of the abolition party, saving their political organization, and had he been elccted, would have faithfully represented the anti-slavery feelings of the North. No one hoped or expected to elect the abolition candidate; and now the result shows that Mr. Williams has been sacrificed, and by whig aboütionïsts; and for what good end? We think this matter is worthy of the candid consideration of every conscientious friend of the slave, and wc cannot but think if reflected upon dispassionatel)', will induce many hereafter to hesitate before they again cast their votes so as to defeat the vcry object for which abolitionists are contending."
