Under such state Of things the people OF this

Such should be, in my Judgment the actuatng and gov

tsgent and republican people comprising these glorious
States The individual who combines these principles,
with capacity in the highest degree without regard to
bis location in the Union, will most fully represent the
democratic party. His PRINCIPLES would tend to place
more power the hands Of the people and he would be
most emphatcaly and truly the peoples candidate
who would discharge the duties Of the position with
honesty, fidelity and impartiaty, liberal progress
rive democrat jealous OF the stability and preservation
OF the Union.
New Jersey may proudly point to many Of her in
whose bands the destines of this republic might safely
be trusted and it is just matter Of congratulaton
