The following spirited lines, were written by
, lady of New Jersey, in answer to the degra-
ling motto, ave Stoop to Conquer" which
was borne in the Procession Of the Wing Con-
rention at Baltimore.
You "stoop to conquer" well you know
You havo already stoop'd SO low,
That every State like Jersey tr ue,
Will scorn to yield its rights to you;
Then while you boast, do not forget
You have not won the conquest yet
You ''stoop to conquer ah beware,
Our Statesmen you cannot ensnare:
With proud contempt your arts they view,
Your Cabins, coons-hard cider too,
Then while you boast, do not forget,
You have not won the conquest yet.
You..'s,oop to conquer"-yet may isil, Gsl ~
Tho smooth the stream on which you sail
Our pilots all the dangers know
That darkly lie concealed below:
Then while you boast, do not forget
You have not won the conquest yet.
You "stoop to conquer'-we disdain
by treach' rous means cur cause TO gain,
And while the ship orState we guide
Well boldly stem oppression's tide:
Then while you boast 90 not forget,
You have not won the conquest yet.
The light our sires to triumph, led,
We trust W i'll o eJ cur Tath besh q.
Around the BANNER they bequeatlied
Unfadng laurels shall be wreatIled:
While with patriots dear to fame
Sbau be unrolIed Van Boren's name.
Then while you boast do not forget
The contest Is not ended yet.

There are three gentlemen spoken Of
for that office, viz: Col. Richardson, Judge
David Johnson aud Col. Hammond. We
have very little doubt but Col. r. will be
the one selected for The office, no,wilh-
standing the opposition Of a few violen,
partizans. He belonged toihe Union Par
iy throughout the Notification contest, aud
will probably be opposed by some of the
members Of the then dominant party
He is said to be in favor of the present
Administration and the Sub-Treasury, and
will therefore meet with opposition from
the friends of Mr.. Clay and the Banks,
who were attached to both The old parties.
Col. Richardson is gentleman of fine
talents, and has filled the various posts to
which he has been called, with honor 10
himself and satisfaction 10 his constituents.
We know of no man in the State who is
better qualified to fiji The Gubernato!ial
chair, and VIC shall be highly grati6cd If
he is selected for that station. The noini-
nation was first made by the former oppo-
nents Of Col. R., and was intended as a
kind Of sulro for healing the divisions
which recently prevailed in this State, and
more firmly cementing the union that now
exists Under these considerations, alone,
we hail the nomination as the most nppro.
pirate that could have been made.
