THE JERSEY BLUES ARoUsING.

II is with pleasure that we learn from private
sources and from the Jersey papers that the Wings
OF this gallant State are arousing TO active move
ments in the various counties with the right kind
of spirit.
A correspondent writes that State Convention
was held at Trenton (the capital OF the State) a
few days since, in which entire harmony and good
feeling prevaled-a strong Electoral ticket was
unanimously selected mass meeting was held there the
day, which ably addressed by COL HASKELL, of
Tennessee, and the Hon. Mr.. BARNETT, Of Indiana with
the most happy effect The right kind of spirit was aroused
The People went home determined to 'seG coat" and do
good service for "OLD lack" and the success of Wing
principles.
The Central Committee have arranged for thorough can
wasting and organization of the State One meeting is
to be held soon In each county, to be addressed
three able speakers, and then followed up by thorough
and complete organization in each county, township, and
precinct even down to each road school district (Ths
is capital plan for your Wing neghbors and friends in Ma
yand, Virginia, and other States adopt and carry out
immediately, particularly in Of the soc counties of
Maryland, where it reported that much apathy exists)
This week county meetings will be held in Cape
May, Cumberland, Salem, Gloucester, and Camden, Con-
gressonal Convention for the Second District and mass
meeting at Bordentown.
District, ANDREW X. Hay, Esq, highly respected and
popular gentleman Of that county, unanimously nomna
ted for Congress in place Of the Hon. JAMES G. HAMPTON
who represents that district but who was not candi-
date for reelection.
The Hon. JoHs VAN DYKE nominated for reelection
without opposition, at Monistown on Wednesday last
The convention for the Fifth District will be held to
nominate candidate in place Of the Hon. DuDLEr s. GRE-
CORY, who now bonoraby represents that district but
who, consequence Of domestic Affections, declines re-
election.
Thus you see the Jersey Wings actively preparing for
the approaching struggle
The Free Soil Van Burenites held State Convention
at TreIon Saturday last, at which JOHN ViN BURES
spoke nearly two hours about thousand fifteen hun
bred PERSONS An Electoral ticket selected of about half
Wings and half Locos, but Congress ticket nomina-
ted The Locos very much dread the effect of this Van Bu-
movement particularly in the strong Loco counties Of
Sussex and Warren, in the northern part of New jersey
which borders the Loco counties Of New York and Penn
sylvana and which BENJAMIN F. BUTLER and JoHS VAS
BuRES intend visiting soon.
The troubles of the Locos appear increase and multiply
with fearful rapdiy The recent elections in VERMONT and
MAINE begin to show them the hand writing the wall.

Why the subjoned Letter from Gen. TAYLOR,

by the Correspondence which precedes it,
This Letter, like every other successive disclo-
sure of the sentiments and feelings of our candidate
for the Presidency, shows how much his own de-
lcacy and extreme modesty have heretofore stood
in the way of that just appreciation of his character
which every one is now enabled to make.
