Brigade, III o recent harangue at Jersey lOftV,
as reported in the two-penny Wright paper Of
this place. seems to have aspired to an exceeds
iingly high grade of wit, but when the ge1aliae
ARTICLE failed, he hesitateel not torepensh his
cracked pitcher at Daniel Rice's wellf In the
course of his very lucid remarks he seems to
have, respectfully encountered the Tariff =
always to eur Democratic brethren a stun
bling block, and to Joel and the jew, foolish
ness. Clay, Webster ,sand other minor lights
usually treated this subject with a. certain de-
gree of seriousness, but not SO did Joel. He
heaped upon it the, full measure Of his .brim-
ming wit, and exclaimed: We, say, as Dan
Rice says to bis elephants, Snow Paw on
this question" The next time Dan brings
those elephants around, the crater provided
he is not on the bench of the Supreme Court
rice Yredenburgh removed should secure an
engagement, and work out his manifest des-
tiny p Trenton True Democrat. 49,.
The above extract shows that the Mon
mouth co-teacher of Gen. Wright has sought
a new field for his political exertions; and fat
tering himself with the belief that bis skillful
labors at Keyport, and other places in Mon
mouth, have called the erring political wander
erS back to Mr.. Wrights foId, and confirmed
sufficient number of the credulous here
abouts, in the faith of his, peculiar creed,
the Twin General appears to have sud-
denly conceived that his presence would be
useful in jersey City-yefy near to the sub
urbs of the Haunting City of New York the
resting place Of Gen Wright-the scene Of
Fernando Woods redoutable operations, and
easy Of access to the famous Secret Commit
tee Rooms in New. York. where few Jersey
politicians are supposed to hold caucus with
a certain class of New York Mllionaires,
whose Quarantine notions lead them to con
ceive that they ought to have something to
say in the election of a New Jersey Govern
or contiguous to their possessions; and, who
might be ready to Show Paw for them in
their faForite hobby, the Removal of Quaran-
tine. saaa I~3s at brav sasw SO
General Parker may perhaps have seen
enough Of the elephant, just prior to the Tren-
ton Convention, and hence wisely concIndedte
Withdraw an season from the reach of any of the
T.
animals extremities; and may, although par
TALLY recovered from THE shock, still retain a
vivid recollection of his ominous appearance.
However that may be, IL is perfectly apparent,
either that the waning strengthen Mr. Wright
needed aid and comfort in Hudson county,
or that General Parker was fully impressed
with the. ridiculous feeling Of playing circus
rider" to the Hudson war horse; or that he
fully realizes the stupendous and Elephantine
proportions Of the Opposition majority, mo-
wing surely and steadily to his defeat, against
which the Twin Generals and their co-workefs
have all along been hopelessly Struggling
i But it is not apparent that the Monmouth
General, in any way enlightened the people Of
Jersey City on his particular views of the
Quarantine question; or even furnished that
community with any idea Of the nature of his
Anti-Q Quarantine speech at Keypoft, or why
Frank Lesbos Pictorial, and certain New
York prints have lately exhibited an unmsta-
BILE desire for the election of the Hudson
candidate, for Governor q Such an expose
would probably have damaged Gen. Wright's
New York influence stopped any anticipated
supply of the delightful aeays and means from
that source--openedt the eyes of the Monmouth
people--and given to Dr. Shelton some advan.
tagein futurescenventions and materially af-
fected the disposition of the appointment of
the New Jersey Supreme Court Judges be-
fore whom, in all human probability, the right
Of New York to infringe upon our territory,
will IN part, have tolbe judicialiy determined.
The General then stood there too, near the
shadowsof Mozart and Tammaay Hall, and
the New York Atmosphere appeared to steal
his Quarantine ideas toobhsion, to berean-
mated, only, when he returned to the more
lucid ali. Of Monmouth county. And it is i'm
bportant to him that each of Mr.. Wright's co.
workers should not in any wise allow the sever
Ealchameleoh hHes of the "Political Paws" in
his hands to become confused; but that he
should- display each~sone~ in. its appropriate
4 place, in harmony with the prejudices of each
lpsculisr neighborhoed: not with the sole 'fdes
of Mr.. Wright's success, as that isSnot so VerJ
near; but with view to their own future adj
vancement--the hope deferred----the goal by
themselves to be won. For they seem al
