ilnc not exceeding five hundred dol
lars or sentence 10 imprisonment at
hard labor for not exceeding six
months, or both. The l;Dct is, II
large majority of the mti-l'cluhli-
cans in NcwJcrscy are intense pro-
slavery men, In some localities the
sentiment is almost unanimous
la Bergen county, for instance, the
uc0plo feel and think pretty much
us th,v do down in South CWuNuN.
This feeling hus been growing ihv
years, and it is due the bold, fear
less manner in which the leading
Democrats Of the county---rhomaS
Dnmt En- iisli, tii.uuncey &. Herri
q. =. Androus, and othcrs--have
grapplcd with the Abolition mon
stor. They have ucv@ compromis-
cd one inch with the anli-siavoiy
sentiment, and the result is before
the country. If other Democratic
leaders had been rs brave and hon
est, the spectacle ofa divided coun-
try and an Abolitionist in the chair
of Washington would not have pre-
scntcd itself before MS this day"
TIE PLuNpEREns AT Work.
Scarcely is Lincoln elected before
the plundcrcrs, who hang upon the
party, begin their work. A Pacific
Railroad meeting is called in this
city, and, as is always the case,
when II great swindlc is going ON,
great devotion is proiesscd to the
people. This project is called " The
Peoples Railroad" The route of
this proftssed road is ria fikcS
Peak, where the Republicans expect
to form new Abolition Statc, thence
to California. This railroad is, We
understand, one of tile great schemes
connected with Lincoln's snomina-
ton. Just before the election, we
met gentleman, who revealed to
us the following, which he said he
had good authority for stating =
Mr.. Lincoln was put forward ly Il
set of railroad Spectators, who lave
long had in contemplation grand
consolidated railroad monopoly be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
Vixen they met at Chicago, they
found that they could not nominate
Lincoln without the aid of the
friends of Banks, Of Mass. They
were accordingly let into the secret
and Mr.. Banks himself promised
the presidency of the Illinois Cen
trail, if his friends would go for Lin
coin. They did do this, and Mr.
Banks, soon after Lincoln's nomna-
ton. received his reward, an annual
salary of $4,000. This we heard be-
fore the election, but no sooner is
Lincoln successful than we see fur
thcr cndeavors Of the Same scheme,
viz: meeting at the Cooper In
stitutc to present the claims to our
citizens. We think, however, they
have other matters TO attend TO just
now than building railroads, with
stocks of all kinds tumbling down,
with no surity that our commerce
may not be diverted from us, with
some of our merchants already re-
moving their capital and opening
houses in the South, and many
more seriously contemplating it,
there will be no need of railroads.
Besides, there is ten times more ne
ccssity of opening the tropical re-
gions to production, of securing lfee
trade with Cuba &c, than OF build,
ing railroads over a vast, unsettled
region ofcountry-N. y. Day Book.
