Mr. Yost was former!y a Whig, and then a Ropublican, and bias receivcd :it the hands of (bost; parties, as a muvk of his ubility and iuithíulness, positions oí trust and hODW. In 1858 he was elected to tbe Senate, and occupied considerable prominence in tho sossion tbat lollowed, ranking nbove the average of that body. In 1862 he be'came disgustëd with the ultraisms of the party in power, le-ft Lis old frieuds, and co-operated in the Unica Monent. The events of two years have confirrued hira in bis opinión, that tho Administraron of Auraham Lincoln is uat wkat the times demanda, and he stands sbquldur to tbouldcr iih the Democracy, and goos in for Gkorgk B. McClisli.ak with a will. Ha has a hhrd district to run in, but ought to be eleetedv In the Fourtb drstriet, Elias Haire, of Freedoin, was noiuinuted. Freedom, everybody kuows is one cf tbe Democratie sirongholds, kov hard-fisted, honest Germán yeomanry aíVaya rolling up a uniform and lurge mnjority for the ticket, and Elias Haire is oue of the wheel-horses ot the Freedom Democracy.

H Loriinop, Esq., the regularly nominatcd Democratie candidate for Lieutenant Governor, having since accepted a nomination for .Judge of Probate, has declined to run for the former office. The State Committee considered his declination at its recent sessioc, accepted it as wdl-grounded, and nominated Martin L. Brackett, oí Eaton County, to fill the vacant place. Mr. Brackett is commended by those who know him, as well-fitted to discharge the duties of Lieutenant Governor. He is a lawyer of high standing, and a fine speaker. Our citizens may hear from him during the campaign. Geobge Schmidt, the rjonrinee for Commissioner of the Land Office, having an office worth four times as ïnuch in prospect, sent in his declination to tho comraittee. It was accepted, and Georoe M. Ricn, of Wayne, nominated to fill the vacancy. Mr. IIioh is one of the most, competent men in the State, and his selection is a fortúnate one. - The Committee were urged by the Democracy of different parts of the State to fill the vrcaacies without calling a new convention, and we presume the action will be generally eodorsed. JC3Ê" e never apologized for the rebellion, we do not apologize for itnow ; we always considered it without excuse, and eren damnable, and we view it in the Eame liglit now. We believe in crushiug it out, and in "preserving the Union at all hazards," but this we do not believe it is possible for the present administration to do, it having adopted a political poliey calculated directly to promote permanent dissolution. We, therefore, believe in "swapping horses"- in a legal way. This will account for what some imagine a change of tone in the Argus, but which is only the enunciation of our views at the proper time. We would defeat Abraham Lincoln as the gure way to close the war and restore the Union. Victories of the armies now, and the defeat of Lincoln in November, are certain to give us a united country. We fervently pray for such resul t. J52L" A party of rebel refugces took passage on the steamer Pkilo Partons from Detroit, Sandwich, Malden, &c, on Monday, and after the steamer had passed Kelley's Island, en route for Sandusky, they seized the steamer, and confined the crew and passengers in the hold. At Middle Bass Island they soized tbe Island Queen, landed her passengers, removed all moveable property, and scuttled and sunk her about half way between that and Kelley's Island. The design was probably to capture the Revenue Steamer Michigan, lying off Johnson's Island, and rescue the rebel prisoners there confined if possible. But courage failed, and they caine back to Sandwich and landed all their plunder, leaving the Parsons in almost a sinking condition. This will put our Lake steamers on their guaril, and will give opportunity for demands on the British Government for a surrender of the pdrates. JL5L The State Republican Committee has placed our fellow citizen Thomas M. Cooley in nomination as a candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Ma. Cooley is" a fine scholar, a close and careful student, a good counsellor, thoroughly versed in the statutes of our State, and will, if elected, make an impartial and able Judge. Nothing can be said against either his private or public life, and the Republican committee has made a fortúnate selectron. We like to see good candidates on both sides, as the State will be sure of good officers whichever wïns.
