THE STRUGGLE IN sEw-JEn,EY.

The citizens Of every neighbOring State cannot but
feel the deepest interest in the defeat Of the nefsrous
attempt now making to fix forever upon the State Of
New-Jersey the chains of that monopoly by which it
bas so long been politically enslayed and pecuniariy
impoverished In the contest between freedom aud
fraudulent power the sympathies Of all honest men
necessarily 20 with the cOmbatants for liberty but ia
the present case it is not abstract sympathy
that is felt Just in the Revolution, New Jersey
now the BATTLEFIELD where the rights Of the whole
country are at issue. She holds the great thorough
fare Of traffic and travel between the eastern and
northern States and cities and those lying south Of
her between New York and Philadelphia -the great
est horougbfsre in the world The monoposts are aim
ing at perpetual well absolute control this
mighty channel of communication aud over the State.
They claim that all the merchandise and all the farm
products and all the travellers that must pass 10 aud
fro between these two metropolitan cities and these
great sections Of the Union shall pass through their
hands and such terms as they may prescribe. They
pretend to levy tribute the whole Of this immense
intercourse ard at the same time forever 20 control
the Interests and the people Of the State they have
done the,e twenty years already, for their own pur
poses We say again, it 10 impossible not to watch
with deep interest and not to lend the utmost assist
Of wealth and corruption, to resist and defeat all
attempts to perpetuate the slavery under which the
State has long suffered both in reputation AMI in
revenue.
And We rejoice to say ina. the friends of freedom
have thus lar proved successful and that the monopoly
oonspiratos have been defeated The attempt Of the
latter TO obtain the STATES Enforcement Of their bonds
has proved failure and their credit tends to diminish
when so much needs to be advanced. The various
roads that were 30 snxiousy awaiting the co6pera-
ton snd assistance Of the conederates are likely,
as We think l0ngt TO wait for how can they, as they
say Themselves, 20 into the market and ask the capt
talists to confde their millions to their custody after
such an attempt and such failure They cannot
dare to 90 it Their bonds cheap even no y, and
likely to be cheaper and the roads are likely to remain
uIHade until the people shall determine to e1trcats
themselves from the control Of their yrsnnca lords
end matters a. from present appearances they will
not be 'low in doing The attempt TO purchase from
tie Legislature grant Of unlimited power, meant to
be Perpetused for ever, has proved another failure
The House OF Assembly has not ratified nor can /. be
Induced to nfy, the infamous sale Of the right. Of
the people made By the traitors who represent those
eonprstor in the Senate and even among the men who
1tce that sale, there are, as We learn, sewers. who
deeply regret the crime they have committed They
feel already hat the consideration was small when
compared with the burden Of infamy that i. to be
carried They know that they have earned the
contempt Of all honest men, and have degraded
Themselves while they have dsgraced the State
There are more honest men in the House" says
eorrespsrdenI, than had supposed--msre than Mr.
s'osktons breecies pocket eapacioas a. it is can
hold Our readers viii rejoice win Us At th. in
formation and viii hops with that the proceedings
IN that body will prove that sGeh men ne 10 the ma,
jority there
The people Of the State are eveywhers in motion
Tie Sise statements sent forth BY Mr. Stockton have
allied to deceive bis Aithfu aspsyer,, while the AFRO
gait irsssnce OF bis claims to the Protecorsp of an
Obeds Mt people has alarmed them greatly Az this the
