FRIEND BAGG:—Please make room for the democracy of Lapeer. The county is redeemed! The rejoicing of the whigs again by anticipation! Seven out of the nine townships have, by handsome majorities, elected democratic supervisors, at the annual township election of 1839. In Lapeer township, the whole democratic ticket elected by an average vote of 2 to 1, where J. R. White and other Whigs had previously boasted of 30 whig majority. Hadley, Richfield and Bristol, where the whigs obtained majorities last fall, have each elected democratic supervisors this spring; and Durham, which gave the whigs an average majority of 24, in November, actually gave the democratic ticket a majority of one this spring; but one ballot was improperly rejected by the board of election which left the two tickets a tie, and in casting lots the election was given to the whigs—so that Durham and Atlas only have a whig triumph, if the whigs of Durham consider it a triumph. Lapeer county is at this time democratic by some 50 to 100 majority. And the court house hobby, on which the whigs rode into office in November, 1838, will fail to carry its rider in 1839. Yours in haste,

A. DEMOCRAT.
