Ney,Jersey politics, and especially Oh inc Seuoi
sorisn Democracy, are all Of the very strongest
Republican cast. There lies before US LIST OF the
New.Jcrsey Abolition Society as it existed ior'y
years sgo. Every name prominent In the ranks Oh
the old Democratic party figures upon ii. The
President. Gen. joseph Bloomfield, Governor OF
the State, is still remembered as one OF the most
popular politicians OF bis time Gen. Bloomfield
sat in the House of Representatives in lS2O, ano
was one Of the reluctant acceders to the Museum
Compromise. Here are the names oil james j.
Wilson and Mshlon Dickinson, who, representing
the State In the United States Senate, voted for
the same compact and no doubt believed it eternal.
The former, personal friend and correspondent OF
Thomas Jefferson, was for a fourth OF century
the acknowledged head of his party in New-Jer-
sey and there fore Of unquestiOnible soundness as
Democrat, although an Abolitionist. So was the
latter; at least such Mr.. Van Buren, supposed
him when he gave him . seat in his cabinet as Sec
Rotary of the Navy. Here are names of Dr. Ephralm
Bateman. John Condit, and Henry Southland,
who, Abotionists as they were, were sent to
Congress by the old Democratic party, and voted
with Gen. Bloomfield forthe Compromise. Another
Governor Of the State figures on the list-lsaac ii.
Williamson, father of the present Chancellor OF
the same name, a devoted attache of the party
which proposes TO make Slavery national. And so
do we find all the leading men Of the State,
Whether Federal or Democratic, on this roll Of
Aboltionisnl, and committed to its cardinal doc

slip also lying upon our table, the Antl-slayery
sentiments thus propagattd by the united voice OF
jersey men, forty years ago. were OF no halfway or
compromising timidity. They were fully up TO the
standard Of what are now called fanatics. An
engraving at the head represents a patriarchal
o. ntleman holding an open volume, to which he
poipts a chained, naked, kneelng African, who
reads the words: SIS not this the fast L have

Fortunately, the platform adopted by the Con-
yention of yesterday requires no one to pass so
fierce trial The declarations are broad enough
for all manner Of men to stand upon. II is enough
to believe that the juggle of Atchison, Douglas
and Pierce was an act of gross perfdy and wrong,
TO qualify any individual to join in the new move
ment for the necessary cOrolary of such belief is
the conviction that no effort should be spared until
the wrong is rghted; and in the ranks of Repub-
lcanism only can the effort be made. The signs oil

What with the solid worth and sound discretion of
the gathering yesterday, and the prudent tone of
its resolutions, there is promise OF precisely that
quiet. earnest and effective work which nsures sue
