and unkndDess, bearing in her beak the olive braoch
of new dspensstop Of good feeling. After exposing
the utter use-sspess the sheer foy of further dscus
sion of the Slavery question, Mr.. Harris proceeded TO
discuss the question Of avery. If there are any msn
acles the limbs Of the slaves such he had read of
10 Northern urnals but had never seen they will be
more closely riyeted by what called the ameGora
tive measures Of the North The Republican party
proftsses design not TO touch Slavery where it already
exists. Trey will bring only that moral influence
to bear upon it which is far dangerous
and difficult to resist than q political treatmeot.
But there must be other subjects interest
ing in HewJeTsey than this Of Slavery. IL il not time
that The sable friend should be Laid asde If there had
been less legislation for ne negro there would have
been more for the white man. Were not Jerseymen,
woIkipgmen, interested in Tariff Mr.. Harris saw
lately in The y. Herald usually very accurate in
ts statements that there 900 900 Germans in the
Urited States Would it not be well fox Jerseyuen to

party must appeal TO all parties aliketo the sentiment
