A GOOD TIME IN NEW-JERsEY.

DIR. Isaiah T. Clawson was renomnated to-day to-
Congress BY the Republican Convention Of this Dis
trct. rs. District: Atlantic, Cape May Csmdea
Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties. Nov
represented by DR.. Clawson, who had $50 majority
over milford, Democrat, in 1854 The District gave
Pierce 44O MAJORITY The choice was unanimous
amid the greatest enthusiasm. His majority this time
will not fall short of four thousand.

The latest news from Kansas looks better for the
Free-State men. 1t is plain that the Border Ruff
fans do not find the process OF "wiping them OUT
SO easy. AtchsOns army, after the destruction OF
Osawattamie frightened BY the appearance of some
PROSTATE men in their neighborhood, and BY the
reports brought by Governor Shannon to Leaven-
worth of the great strength Of Lanes forces, in
stead of advancing upon Lawrence, have fallen
back two marches to Cedar Creek, and had taken
to calling for more aid. Atchison appears to have
fallen into disgrace with his soldiers, as he had re-
signed and Colonel Reid, the hero of the burning Of
Osawattamie, had been appointed in his place.
The army Of Rufians has eight pieces OF artillery
and plenty of horses, but no infantry that can be
relied upon They numbered at the last accounts
about thousand men.
The people Of Weston have resorted to a new
method of raising recruits for AtchisOn, which will
be likely to open peoples eyes. Leavenworth, by
the way, is rival town, on the opposite bank Of

The following paragraphappears in the " asmng-
ON correspondence of The Nem- Orleans Delta:

at is already arranged, in the event OF Fremont
election or failure to elect by the people, to call the
Legislatures of Virginia South Carolina ana GeorSa
10 concert measures to withdraw from the Union De
fore Fremont can get possession of the army and navy
and the puse-strings Of Government. Governor WISE
is actively at work already in the matter. Ihe SCUM
cam reiy on the President an the emergency coniena-
plated. The question now il, whether the people Oh
the South will sustain their leaders.
After the course which the President has pur-
sued with regard to Kansas, the slave-driyers OF
the South have good right to rely upon him for any
thing He has shown in all that matter a total
restitution of conscience and spirit OF selfish
treachsry unrivaled by anything in the political
conduct of Benedict Arnold or Aaron Burr. Ii his
tory does not rank him with those two traitors, it
will only be on account of his infinite nferiOrity in
talents and sense, aud his total restitution of all
those brilliant qualities which gave them certain
hold on the public attention. They had been bright
stars in the political horizon. They fell like Luci-
fer and all eyes were riveted upon their fall with
mingled establishment and regret. AS to Franklin
Pierce, he has not fallen; he is now what he
always was-a protested DOughface. He never
has been mistaken for star by anybOdy-except
as sometimes a like mistake is made as to tallOw
candle placed by boys, on some very dark night,
in the interior of an excavated pumpkin stuck
upon pole. Borne thus at the head of great
party and elevated by it to the Presidency and after
ward used by Jeff Davis and other nullifers and
Slavery extensonists to beguile that party into i'm
passabe quagmires, such an employment Of it may
give certain dignity even to an Illuminated pump
kim but can scarcely it ever to be mistaken for
a fallen star of the morning.
That Franklin Pierce would like to join with
Preston Brooks in signalling his expulsion from
power by the overthrow of the Union, we do not
doubt, but they are not the samsons for such an
enterprise On the night of the Fourth Of March,
instead of overthrowing the Union, from their
known habits they will BIO much more likely to
need somebody to hold them up.

Truth is progressive, even in the face of resist
ance. The Savior of mankind called himself "the
Truth" yet he was resisted by the Scrbes and
Pharsees from the moment they perceived that bis
teachings would not merely subvert many cherished
traditions and customs, but put an end to their own
selfish schemes. Hence they attempted by violence
what was impossible by argument. Had their
cause been founded on truth, they would have had
no occasion for brutal weapons. Every age has had
its martyrdOms for the sake of Right and as these
linen of whom the world was not worthy" have
been wrapt from earth the enemies Of truth have
congratulated themselves on certain victory. They
were sure they had gained the day when they had
chased Luther to the Wartburg and Calvin to Ge-
neva; when they had expatriated the Huguenots and
soaked the soil of Europe with the blood of hund.
reds of thousands Of confessOrs. And vet their
congratulations have usually been premature, fol.
lowed, as they were, by the breaking out of the
flames which had been smothered but not extin-
euished. The Christian religion supposed to have
persisted on the cross of its Founder, swept like
fires on the prairies, and reached every part of
the civilized world Charles V. thought he had
gained complete triumph over the heretics of his
day, but had he lived little longer, he would
have seen the remorseess ravages of the Iconocass
Of the Netherlands, and the renovation of England
under Elizabeth.
By one of those broad contrasts thai mark human
sGairs. We have in our own country at this time
system which has to be defended BY the same sort
of weapons which Herod, Nero, and Phillip II. en-
ployed. Its friends have trumped up the same sort
of "diyine right for it that earlier tyrants have
been wont to assert fof themselves Fair specimens
We have of these pretensons in the Scripture argu-
ment of Mr. Stephens of Georgia in Congress, and of
DIR. Frederic A. Ross in the Presbyterian General
Assembly. Entrenched behind the Word of God
and the Constitution, one would suppose they might
