The finest spirit prevails amongst our friends in .in
Jersey. The Democratic Stale Convention, which as
scmblcd at Trenton, on Thursday last, contained no !r'
than 80 delegates. TIL" Editor Of the Newark El-r,
who was present, says, there was tho greatest unanItal!y
among thcln-and their Congressional and Electoral
ticket was .fn0Hy adoptcd mihO"f u MSEcn'ing rot.
We say THIS, because the notorious Webb asserts, ('ad
10 dOnt the Wing has rc-cchoed or will rc-ccao hi")
thot there was I'll hard days quarrel that the "tch"l
is the very poorest that could be framed, and that mum.
bers of the delegates declare, that the WHY'S "ill carry
y. Jersey BY 1900 majority. The Eagle stamps the whole
statement as grossly tHiSc, and dctlrs Webb 10 na.lca

Eagle says it will succeed b. ! Or , 1000 majority.
The Convention recommends TO The Legislature 10
pass immediately i bill Tor changing the day OF the "Icc-
