The NEW JERSEY DN0CRArs-Sr0CKroN AND
CAss-There has been sharp contest in the New
Jersey Democratic Convention, between the friends
of Com. Stockton and Gen. Cass, in which the gall
liant Commodore appears to have achieved dry
land victory almost equal to any Of his land battles
in California. Tho GAGS resolutions and instructions
were defeated, and majority Of the delegates 70
Baltimore are set down for Stockton. Bat for his
late funny speech at Trenton, in glorifcatiou of Nj
Webster and high tariff, he might have got the
whole Of New Jersey The prospects of Cass ore
thus somewhat further diminished. Nearly the
whole South, from Virginia down, is for Buchanan,
in addition to Pennsylvania. Kentucky is for Bit
Ter, and Illinois, and some Of the now States west
of that, will go for Douglas. New York is divided
between Cass and Marcy so that even clear ma
iority for Cass doubtful upon the FIRST ballot But
the nomination at Baltimore will require vote Of
two-thrds of the convention. Will the Cass men
60 over to Buchanan, will the Buchanan men 60
over to Cass, to secure to either a two-thrd vote
Not likely. Win the Cass and Buchanan men con-
sent to unite upon either Houston, Douglas, Stock
ton, Marcy, or Butler! Not likely. Will they not
be driven to some new candidate, such as King, or
Dickinson, or Gen. Pierce, or Gen. Lane, or some
body else !! Very likely. Cass, and all the stand
ing candidates, may experience the fate Of Van Bu-
rem and the old fogies of 1914, in being set aside
for some new man, not now taken into their es-
mates ofthe chances. But we can't yet see through
the fog, for New Jersey throws very little light upon
the subject.
UNITED STATES DRY DocK-NEw YORK NAVY
YARD.-We extract the following statements from
Mr.. Charles B. Stuart's works on the Naval Dry
Docks Of the United States:-
This great national work, commenced in August 1s4
completed the 30th August 1851. The cxpendi-
ture account of the dock and its appcndagcs have
been to the date Of its completion in round numbers
two millions of dollars During the construction of the
dock there used three steam engines of 90 IL and
6horse power, respectively The work under the
perntendence Of five chief engineers employed different
periods Of time The construction Of the largest the
first floating and turning gates composed wholly ofmeal
and mostly Of wrought iron has been accomplished by
Gen. Henry r. Durham, assisted by his brother, Mr..
John Durham The dimensions of the Golfer dam,
ucted a0 feet long and from 60 to 100 feet wde
the wings 15 feet long and from Is to SO feet WIDE

dock ut Norfolk Navy Yard, accompanied with ex-
planatory and exquisitely prepared plates.

The notice in to days parer, that the Free Democ-
racy of Ravenna requested to meet next Satur-
day night 10 open the campaign of $50. This is
as it should be. The cause demands our ceaseless
activity. Let not our efforts be periodical or
spasmodic. Let rot approaching election be
required to galvanize us into activity. Let US be
active oil the whils.
Snmuel Lewis. that faithful veteran in the
cause, recommends to stop one day TO vote, and
then open the next campaign, and work on. Sound
advice. Let US heed it.
The day of voting has nnw passed. The fiat
of the people has gone forth. The decision for
the next four years has been made-that decision
will soon be known. Let Us now buckle on our
armor anew; and tire not in the work of human-
ty and right.
We hope our friends in the townships of this
county, like those in Ravenna, will Immediately
form Associations and by the circulation of News
papers and documents, and by frequent lectures
and discussions, advance the cause, and prepare
for glorious victory.
When associations are formed, 1t proceedings
in all cases be furnished for publication.
With spirit fresh and unbroken, we row en-
ter upon n new campaign, our motto being to
fight on and fight ever until a triumphant victory
shall reward our exertions."
