Quincy by the Ladies of Norfolk, Mass.
at which speeches were delivered by the

the following anecdote as related by Mr..

as TO the point of action, where the rebuke

Mr.. Goodrich concluded his excellent
speech by an anecdote, which, as we nev-

as its merit forbids it should be lost. At
the time of the last Presidential election,
Gen. Harrison passed through small
village in Ohio. Soon after. James Buch.

James Buchanan that called .Honest
John Davis" liar, and attempted to
shoot down that faithful sentinel, said Mr.
G. pointing to the portrait of Gov. Davis
that decorated one end of the Pavilion
because he raised his voice in warning to
the people Of the iniquity of their rulers.
He stopped at a small tavern kept by a
man in reduced circumstances, who had
been enabled to give his daughter, now
compelled TO serve as bar-maid, finished
education. 'Well, Miss" said Buchan-

w IL contemplating the great victory
won by the Wings Of Maine, multitude
of pleasing reflections rush on the mind.
We have battled long and hard against
misrule. We trust lis now to have an
end. Let us all be aware of the deep re.
sponsibility which falls upon us to our
country, to liberty, to justice, to the 'grea,
cause of human improvement and human
happiness. Let no feeling Of selfshness
or revenge mingle with our patriotic ex-
ultations, but let US all remember that our
political opponents. over whom we have
triumphed, are members of the same pc.

Republican family. We rejoice at our
success, and believe that most of them
will soon see cause to rejoice with us

THE NEW JERSEY ELECTION

THE NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
In Speech delivered by Maj. James
Garland, at public dinner lately given to
him in Nelson county, Va, he gave his
views of the New Jersey question as fol-
lows:-
"Mr G. then adverted to the New Jer.
sey case, stating that, from beginning to
end, he regarded it as replete with violence
and despotism, and subversive of the fun
damental principles of the Constitution.
He remarked, before any member was
qualified to look into the qualifications of
his fellow member, it was solemnly adj
Judged that those who had brought with
them the high authority which the State
of New Jersey had, under an express pro-
vision Of the Constitution of the United
States, given to them, should not take
their seats. Before the jury was sworn,
the prisoner was condemned and execut-
ed, and the forms of trial afterwards wa
ded through to prove that the judgment
and execution were just. The pretext
for this gross disregard of the law and con-
s.i,utional authority Of New Jersey was
the certificate of a single public officer,
(of the state of the polls as filed in his Of.
flee, when the law did not authorize
him 10 give any certificate about The mat
ter. After the organization of the House,
and before the committee had closed the
evidence, the five members holding the
duly authenticated certificate of election
were expelled and the five contesting
members duly installed. He said, how
ever, if the opening scene was violent
and despotic, the closing was infinitely
more SO. The Committee of Elections,
after nearly seven months labor, brought
in, about four days before the close of the
session. their report of the case, with re-
solutions confirming the contesting mem.
bers in their seats. After the reading OF
this, and the report of the minority, with.
out reading or giving time to any men,
Der to read the evidence taken in the
case, embracing volume Of near 700
pages, the question upon the adoption Of
the resolution was forced upon the House,
and carr ed by the power of party vote.
He said he did not vote at all, as he was
entirely ignorant Of the testimony, and
was unwilling 10 take any committee as
a guide to his conscience He did no,
know and could not say which of the
claimants were entitled 10 the seats, bu.
from what little he had heard, he very
much doubted whether more than two Of
the five occupants are justly entitled to
their SEATS Mr. G.. characterized the
enormitv of this transaction in terms oil
much severity" q" @9 = .atga"
