New Jersey Resolutions.

Now Jersey RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
American State Convention which met at Trenton
on Wednesday last:
Whereas Americans, Wings, and others of New
Jersey, have this day in convention assembled.
upon the battle-ground of the Revolution, for tho
purpose Of presenting to their fellow.citizens an
electoral ticket for President and vice President
of the United States, and to give their undivided
support to such standard bearer as can quiet the
raging passions OF sectional STRIFE and restore con-
fdeneo to our distracted country Therefore
Resolved, That we most heartily unite in the
support OF Millard Fillmore and Andrew jackson.
Do elson, for President and Vice President of the
United States-who know no sectional or oeoora-
phical Hnes--no North, no South no East. no
West-but their country, their whole country, and
nothing but their country
Resoiued, That we consider the repeal of tho
Missouri Compromise an outrage, and fragrant
wrong upon the peace, and honor, and happiness
OF our country. We believe this administration
and its supporters guilty Of and hold them respon-
sbe for it, and all the evils resulting from msrule,
as wen as for the fraternal blood that has been
shed upon the plains of Kansas and that we are
in favor of such immediate action by Congress, as
i'll restore the question of slavery to the position
OF final settlement 1t occupied on the retirement Of
Mr.. Fillmore from the Presidency.
Rcsolved, That we are opposed to sectional par
ties as antagonistc to the spirit of our Constitu
tioD, the principles which underlie the confedera
ton OF the States; that they were anticipated by
our forefathers, who warned US against them; that
they are destructive of the comfy between the
States and the fraternity of our people; that they
excite feelings OF fanaticism and animosity, and,
though the bonds of our Union may not be severed
by them all that renders that Union dear and val
liable will be destroyed. We believe that no cause
now exists Tor Northern Anti-slavery party, for
n 10 c.. ~
of the North will be fully protected by Mr.. Fill
more. We believe that the Democratic party has
assumed the character of an utra-Southern party,
and Is engaged In crusade against the recognised
rights OF the North. The American party inter
poses itself as the only true National Union one
seeking to restore peace, perpetuate amity and do
justice to all sections that therefore it cannot en-
ter into any fusion with either OF its opponents or
sacrifice any of the cherished objects of its noble
mission.
Resoloed, That we deem the Republican candi-
date, John .. Fremont, young, untried, and in
experienced maH-who has given no evidence of
possessing those peculiar and high qualifications
necessary for the Chief Magistracy OF our coun-
try, and from whom we can look for no better re-
suit than has followed the administration of Frank
lin Pierce, who was nominated under similar cir
cumstances. fe
Resotved, That we deem the Democratic candi-
date, James Buchanan, unsafe and sectional hav-
ing fully and unqualifedIy endorsed all the acts
of President Pierces administration, which has
brought the country into anarchy and civil war;
arrayed the North against the South in bitter and
hostile strife, engendering fbustering spirit in
our land, thereby degrading us in the eyes of the
nations of the earth. g
Resolved That the election of our. candidate
for the Presidency first in the field and lltried
faithful and true to the Constitution and the Union
will restore peace and confidence to the country,
such as it enjoyed when he retired from its Chief
Magstracy. We therefore invoke the aid of all
who love the institutions Of our country and our
glorious Union, to rally around our conservative
candidate, and cooperate with us in our good and
righteous cause. Es-4 8f
Resoteed, That the adoption of our candidates
by the National Whig Convention recently assem-
bled at Baltimore, in connection with the heavy
msjorties obtained by the opposition parties in
old Democratic States; the gratifying intelligence
received from the South, as well as the North,
give to the friends Of Fillmore and Donelson the
cheering prospect that around them will rally the
whole conservative element Of the country, and
the sincere friends Of the Union. We have the
assurance that no vote given to them will be lost
but that they have the brightest prospects for
cess.
Resoiped That we behold in Millard Fillmore no
experimental candidate; but one whose noble aim
was and is to copy after the illustrious Washing
ton; who favors the protection Of American in-s
dustry who cherishes the undying principles Of
Clay and Webster; who bears alot the standard
Of our country, containing the full constellation Of
the Union--thity-one glorious stars--and who has
inscribed on it the proud motto, Americans
should rule Amelica." &c
