Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-12-17

At New Jersey Democratic meeting |
held at Bergen not long since, the follow
ing were among the regular tOssis. If
s1cs were regular ones, our readers can
elsily conceive what the irregulsr ones
were likely TO be. We clip from the Cin-
cinnAti Enquirer, SO that the authenticity
Of the toasts is indisputsble;
7th oast.-Tbe last man and the last
dollar; may the one be an AbolitiOnist
and the oIher q shinplaser, and may hey
both perish in the last dttoh together.
10Th Toast To the first Governor who
shall have tho virtue and courge to keep
his osth of Office, and protect and defend
the Constitution, laws and sovereignty OF
bis State. and the rights Of its citiZsns.
11th ToGst.-The light of other days,
when Liberty wore q white face and
America was not negro.
18th Toast.-Tbe Democratic party as it
was, before cowsrdice, treschery, shOddy
and greenbscks had demoralized its coun-
cils.
18Th Toqst-The Abolition war for dis
union-let those who think it right go to
it, aRd those who think it wrong stay at
home.
14tA Toast-NIay those who ssy we shall
never have the Union as it was, follow the
example of their brother traitor, Judas Is
cariot, who died and went to his own
I5h Toast.-The War DemOcIat-a
white mans face on the body of a negro.
The following from Occasional, Of Tie
Press, is worthy the careful attention Of
all our readers;
The message Of the President, which is
a eompend or resume of that which is more
lengthily described by his constitutional
advisers and their subordinstes, will GO
TO Europe as an admonitiOn that people
so able to take care of themselves, and to
sustain a war of such formidable dimen-
sions, must be respected by Foreign Pow
ers. And when this great paper is sue
oeeded by the accounts Of those national
stewards-the Secretaries Of the Treasury,
War, Navy, State, and Interior, and Post
master General, and Attorney General
they will only be new themes for rejoicing
among our friends, and for dismsy among
cur enemies. The loyal journalists and
public speakers in the different States
should carefully con and select frem the
message and reports arguments to which
there can be no successful reply, appeals
which cannot be resisted, and evidences
of the justice, integrity, and vigor of the
Administration can be epitomized from
these fountains of administrative and exc
cutive labor. These arguments and these
appeals should be thrown into short para
graphs, or dilsted upon in lectures and
speeches at the various school-houses and
public buildings in the cities, towns, and
villages of the country. For be it remem-
bered that the Presidential campaign may
be said to be opened, and the intellectual
food for which the people are hungerlng
should not be withheld from them. Ii is
something to know that this important
fact is deeply impressed upon the loyal
leagues and that everywhere, from the
mother and parent Of these effective suxil-
iaries of the good cause to the smallest
association in the smallest community,
there is constant aud unwesried work.
It is the duty Of sll good men 10 keep this
spirit alive and nothing will contribute
more to the education Of the masses, and
to the final and complete success of tie
Government IN the elections of 1854 than
to use the plain and convincing infOTms-
ton contained in the great papers which
have issued from Mr.. Lincoln himself and
from his constitutional advisers.
