SCENE on THE MOUNTAIN IN JEFrRRsoS COUNTY.
Mr. Faulkner, on an electoneering tour, meets
quaint old native when, after shake Of the hand,
and an ahectionate inquiry of Mr.. y. about the old
mans health, &c, he bores him for his vote. The
old chap very naturally begins 20 inquire about
Mr.. F.'s politics aow and desires TO know whether
he has changed again or not, and, especially, whe.
ther he is In favor Of letting foreigner vote upon
probation Of only five years.
Mr. y. replied that IL seemed TO him, under all
the circumstances, a foreigner, who paid the usual
attention 70 our system of government and politics
for FIVE years, must surely be very stupid, IL he
could not in al that time, tell which OF the great
political parties was on the right side. But re-

JERSEY People AND THEIR MoNopoILEs.--
Some of the press of our Jersey neighbors have
very odd way of defending the people of
that State against the charges preferred
throughout the country, that they are the tools
and instruments of their railroads The Sus-
sex R,gisto says:--'It is not the people of New
Jersey who are responsible for the existing
condition of things but the swarms of feed
lawyers and subsidized wirc-pullers who ma
mage county and district conventions Who
do they manager Is it not the people, aud is
this not making them the tools and instruments
of the monopolies as we have stated The Joint
concern, the Reg,se admits, ''is most gigan.
tic outrage upon equal rights, power which
has for years shaped the Legislature of the
State, filling our highest offices with creatures
Of its own" This is just what we have asserted
but the Register still thinks the "people are
not responsible for the existing state of
things" Now, there is supposed to be. or to
have been, two parties in New Jersey-the
frcemcn Of that State and the joint railroads -
the former have allowed the latter to get the
mastery the control. II is not very material
how this was done: that it was effected by sup
pressing the voice of the people is plain enough
Having thus succeeded, they took the next
step: they bought up the voters by giving
them an interest in the concern. Two crimes
were thus committed that Of surrendering the
rightful authority Of the voters, and after
wards receiving a reward for keeping quiet
The first Is common in all elective govern
ments; the second is venal and near of kin TO
open bribery. il is now asserted that the joint
roads have the written opinion Of all the
Judges of the Supreme Court of that State,
sustaining them in all their exclusive powers.
Thus, the people have not only sold themselves
to the roads, but have volunteered by their
own tribunals TO rivet the chains which bind
them to the purchaser. This is an, and more.

sense it has converted q sovereign State Of the
Union into railroad monopolles. 1t is q very
nhGhh and disgraceful argument to urge, 10
this state Of things, that the people are blame
lees. They originally possessed all the power;
they allowed themselves first to be duped and
then bought. They surrendered their just
authority in the State and then allowed their
assignees to make them mere hirelings, tools
and instruments of the monopolists. It now
remains to be seen how they will receive the
recent declaration Of the directors Of the Am
boy concern on the Burlington homicides, that
"the remit proved that the regulation Of the
company was salutary one" and the mono
nopolies entitled to praise in that terrible
affair.
