IN New JEGsGY.--ilon MAiinN DiCkEtsuN ant
Col. JOSEPH JACKSON, two of the most prom
nc1lt leaders Of the old jackson Van Buren, par
~ in Now Jersey, have been induced by the ri.
nous policy and the destructive and suicidal
course fthe remnant of the once powerful party
to which they were attached, TO come out pub.
licly with declaration against them. Gen
Dickerson, as is well known, was for some time
prominent Jackson Senator in Congress and
afterwards Secretary Of the Navy in the Cabi.
net of Jackson.
They both participated in a meeting of the
citizens Of Morris County, at Rockway, in rela-
ticn to the alarming condition of the manufacture
ing interest, Mr.. SAML. 5. BEACH having been
called to the chair, series ofresolutlons. urging
Congress TO make Tariff before it adJourns'
was reported by a committee consisting OF
Messrs. Andrew b. Cobb, Saml b. lIalsey,
SamL +. RICHTER Henry Brcevoort, and Mah-
lon Dickerson, late Secretary at the Navy. and
adopted by the meeting Gen, Dickcrson open.
~ declared himself in favor of the party which
is in favor Of protective Tariff and also as DE-
cdedly in taror Of The distribution of the Public
Lands. We believe he originally brought the
Distribution Bill before the Senate when mem.
Der of that body. Col. Jackson, who also took
occasion TO declare himself in favor oftesc car.
dinal measures Of Wing policy has been a
leading and honored member of the old Jackson
and Van Buren, party from the beginning-hav-
ing been member of the Legislature and be Ell
otherwise repeatedly boDorcd by the party in
his native country: he is also we believe, the
Oldest Post Master in the Union, having been
appointed by Gen. Washington in l19l-nearly
half century ago. The Jerscyman furnishes
MS with brief Outline of his remarks, which we
publish with much pleasure:
al Tar al AL
duty foreign importaGons directly after the Rcvo-
luton to encourage our own citzens TO establish var
GUS kinds OF manufactures as also TO pay the debt OF
the country caused by that War-he advcrtcd to thc
benefits our country had derived from that measure
and more especially durln" the of 1872, when we
could not have competed with En- Gland had not man
ufactorcs ofevery kind been established in various
sections Of our country, and fostered by protecting
duties-that ut the close Of the last war these duties
continued for the d ule purpose Of paying the cnur-
tnous national debts and encouraging others engage
IN manufacturing, that this country might become
completely independent of Europe--tha when the
national debts paid, the general understanding
throughout the country was, that the revenue arising
from the sales of Public Lands should be divided
among the States, that the original Thirteen who had
fought and suffered should receive their proportion in
stead Of giving il all to the Slatcs-that subsc-
Quently party had sprung up who were willing to
reject that brtl-rlght hc1neathcd to them by those
who fell in the field Of battiethat that party was
now aspiring for power, and very much rcsembled
the parry wkjck ruled in '9S and 99, when we were
under the dominion NJ "onc man power"-that the
present "c0me-by-ctahrc preSidcHf' was rapid
'rradhg in the same path and cxertng power never
.csted IN him by the Cunsiitution-tliat the Veto pow
gwen to the President solely to arrest Con.
grss< whepeses that body should pass a law wherein
che Constitution should he nfrinacd. but never To {
ryertcd on grounds of polcv-'ha, The manufacturing
,n,'rest in every section OF our country, and consc-
qrrntly agricultural suffering i,ou the wiims
aud c1priccs, and dicatiOn of n man who processes

houses OF Congress, AMI finally. the Colonel exhor.
fed every man hereafter not TO vote tor any one at
town. county. or state election "who would not 90
for Tariff and a DistrjJutoa etMe Public LANES
smong the States"
This is but one Of the many similar instances
OF the feeling among the mass of the people IN
favor Of discriminating tariff and the dstribu-
zion OF the public lands. They come to MS from
ali parts of the Union and with every mail Yet
our infatuated President It's willing to give ere.
1ence to the lying breath of treacherous cour.
iers and seducing hypocr'eS. who persuade him
that his apostacy and wicked violation OF
part PROMISES aud pledges meet with favor
srnong the people. The day of retrbuiion is
not far distant, both for the mbecilc and concei-
ted aposta,e aud the knot of lilputian would
he statesmen, who bask in his sniles and only
sing l,usannas so long as i,c holds in his feeble
hands the dispcnsa,on of office and Executive
patronage. The people lave been Knocked, be.
trayed, cheated but they are preparing to speak
out. The hand writing is ON the wall. John
Tyler has been weighed IN the balance, and has
been found wanting. The PEOPLE will assert
and maintain their rights in spite Of Executive
nsllrpa,ion and power.--BoStm Alias.
