opposition TO the recollection Of such were esrd-
dates. think this circumstance drive the dem
oerate party here TO the conclusion that they can
purchase the friendship Of monopolists al no price
however high There is and must be eternal enmity
between monopoly and republication. In another
year, all this will have been felt and clearly under

take common ground with the democracy of the
Uoion, will be able To achieve victory, By that
time the hope of repeating the late tariff will be dis
spated and the reduced profits of the manufacturers
will leave them less money TO spend in corruption.
As TO the congressman, we will have only from
hye to eight out OF the twenty-four. We may ex

NEW JERSEY,

The democrats are organizing themselves for the
coming election The Trenton district has nominal
ted Thomas e. Combes, last winter respected
member of the senate, as their candidate for Con-
gress. Littlcton Kirkpatrick is the candidate for
the 4th district (of New Brunswick The "Tren-
ton Emporium" speaks Of him in high terms.
The convention which nominated Mr.. Combes
met at Freehold, on the 18th inst, Gen. Carrot d.
Wall, of Burlington, president.
"While the convention was in waiting for the
officers, on motion Of MIR. Ryall, Joseph L. Wright
read an account Of the recent battle Of Gen. Taylor
with the Mexicans, in which the American arms
were so sjgnaly and triump hantly victorious. The
reading of this news brought forth repeated APP
plause.
Seen. Wall then addressed the convention at
LENGTH and reviewed in an able manner, the ques-
tons Of national policy, upon which the two great
parties are divided Among the most important,
and to his mind the most enlightened feature of the
administration of Mr.. Polk, was the tariff of 1916.
He showed very clearly its wholesome operations
in the reduction Of enormous taxes and in the rise
of agricultural products"
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the convention: ...
'tResolued, That the administration of Presiden,
Polk has, thus far, been eminenty successful, and
has disappointed all the predictions of our oppo-
nents, while it has fully realized all the reasonable
expectations Of those who sustained him at the
polls.
"Resolped, That the great measures Of the admin
stration, viz: the equazing of the tariff tax the
adjustment Of the Independent treasury, the settle
ment of the Oregon boundary, and the efforts to
procure and establish with Mexico permanent and
honorable peace, meet cordial appreciation, and
command our undivided support.
"Resolped, That the tariff passed by the present
Congress, in recognising the principle Of laying du-
ties by taxing all imported goods according to their
value, rather than by weight or measure, has made
an important advance in equalizlng the burdens OF
the tariff tax; and that in ts determinations, i,
seeks that equal protection to all the great interests
of the country, which the President set forth in the
celebrated Kane letter. and that its first fruits are al
ready observable in the rise Of agricultural prod
ucts Ea
s'Resolued, That the alarm about ruin and dis
tress,' which the wing party have been so ndustri-
ousy sounding has been raised solely for political
purposes--that the wish is father to the thought
and that it exhibits disposition to regard the in.
erests of their party above those Of their country.
'Resolpsd, That this convention urgently recon
mend to the democrats ofthe several townships in
this congressional district, the immediate appoint
ment of committees, whose duty it shall be to organ
ize and rally the party, disseminate political truth
and secure the attendance of every democrat at the
polls" ".r a..H 81"

..........4 BALTIMORE, Oct. II, SIP. m.
The mails from the north do not bring US, this af-
ternoon, single item of intelligence. At Phiade-
phia, they are busly figuring up the result Of the
election, whilst in New York and Boston the miss
ing steamer is the lion of public conversation at the
present time. The Caledonia, which has now been
out thirteen days, may be looked for momentarily
the vessels of that line seldom lose their reckon
ing, or miss their time. She will probably bring in
telgence to the sailing of the Great Britain, and
it may probably turn out las is anticipated by some,
that she did not sail on the day that was announced
for her departure. '"r
Our merchants are still doing thriving business,
the past week having been one of the briskest of
the season. 1t is now confidently believed that the
present will fully equal any that have pre-
coded it in the extent of business transacted in Balt-
more. " "u
The telegraph is still out of order, though it is
expected to be repaired this afternoon The conse-
quence is, we have no commercial dispatches from
Philadelphia or New York, to-day.
At New York, yesterday, there was very little
animation in the markets. The sales of cotton had

heard. The circular says ....... r... ..

done by caterpillar and army worm is irretrevable.
