How far the so-called Union party really ignore
the Slavery question, and how far it makes the
Constitution its only platform in the pending Pres-
Dental canvass, may be seen by reading the state
ment Of Mr.. Dawson of Alabama, which we print
in another column. FortifyiDg himself with ex.
tracts from Mr. Bells speeches and with citations
OF his votes on various test questioos, Mr.. Dawson
proves that Mr.. Bell is more entirely devoted to
Slavery than Mr.. Breckenridge; that he is more
earnestly believer in the doctrine that slave prop
erty is, in its legal character, identical with all
other property; and more sincere in the faith that
if necessary, Congress must pass laws for the pro.
lection of Slavery in the Territories. On these
grounds Mr.. Dawson urges the shareholders of
Alabama to come up to Dir. Bells support, since
if he is elected he will prove u sounder advocate
of Slavery and of its extension than his Democratic
rival. We commend the subject TO those Northern
men who support Mr.. Bell with the idea that his
election would result in banisbpg the Slavery ques-
ton from politics. A little reflection viii, We
think, show them that the only method of putting

The Republican State Convention of New-Jer-
sey, held at Trenton yesterday, was an iumsnse,
enthusiastic, whole. souled demonstration, which
surely foretold how the good old State is going.
Gov. Pennington presided, and resolutions reafirm-
ing the Chicago platform, and warmly iudorsing
Lincoln and Hamlin were passed. Joseph G.
Hornblower and Andrew X. Hay were uuan-
imou,ly elected Senatorial Electors. The Districts
reported their Electors as follows:

the assemblage having become too vast for any ha'

out of doors, and speeches by the Hon' Daniel
Ullmapn and the Hon. Arson Burlingame were
listened to with the most wrapt attention. we

received wi h the same enthusiasm with which it

Mr.. yiele, the candidate for Lieutenant Cover

The Daily Ntus, referring to the contested
election case of Williamson ~. Sickles, states
/" that FIVE or six of tts most prominent gentlemen
" of Bloomfield, New-Jsrsey have testified that at
" the time Mr.. Williamson was Cd the Congress
" tiona course in New York, he (W.) was tax
"psyer and voter in DIR. Speaker Penniug'on's
district in New-Jersey." The Netcs further says
that " Dir. Sickles also formally invited Mr.. VIII
" hanson to take the staud and testify as to the
" truth or untru'h of the charge. The proposition
twas declined; but Mr.. w. informed Judge
" Ulshoe fer that bis counsel would make a reply
" in writing at the next meeting" If Mr.. Sickles
has 40 stronger claim to the seat he now occupies
IN the Hou,e of Representatives than being able
10 show that Dir. Williamson was not resident of
the Stats Of New. York, he may as well prepare to
vacste it. We are assured that the statement 10
The Neps is not correct. All that was proved by
the New trsey witnesses refer ed TO- was the fact
that Mr.. Williamson owned farm in New jersey,
where his family remained during the Summer
mouths. Neither of the witnesses pretended to
decide that be wasa resident of New jersey that
he ever voted or claimed right to vote there.
Mr.. Sickles offered to examine Mr.. Williamson
as to whether or not he was present and voted at
school meeting, called for the purpose Of raising
money to build a new schOolhouse. To this MIR.
Williamson replied that he would accept the prop
osition, provided the examination extended to an
inquiry into the matter of his residence This
offer was declined by Mr.. Sickles. But it is hardly
worth while to correct the ex-parte statements
put forth 10 advance of the presentation of the
case to the House Of Representatives. AS Mr..
Sickles IL understood to be q candidate for re-
election, and as it is understood that Mr.. VIII
hanson will also be in the field, the people will
pass on this case before Congress meets agaio.
Whatever may be the result III the case now der
investigation before Judge UlshOeffer, We are dis
posed to think there will be no mistake this time
in the decision at the ballotbox. The friends of
Mr.. Williamson having discovered the modas OPP
erandi by which Sckles was return ID in 1855,
will hardly allow themselves to be caught in the
same trap again. Besides, we now have Regis
try Law which, though defective in some respects,
will at least prevent the wholesale importation of
bogus voters into the district.

are eager for little change We advise Hunt to
sell But let him remember that he is dealing
