our country have been outraged, the name
of the United States disgraced, aud the

Another of the New Jersey resolutions
throws an instructive light upon this
whole movement, and it's objects.
ResoLved, That we renew our declaration
of attachment to the Union, pledgiug to
its friends, sOhereuer found, our unWayering
support, and to its-enemies, in whatever
sense, our undying hostility, and that, God
willing, we will stand by the Constitution
and laws of our couuteY, and under their
sacred shield will maintain and defend our
liberty and rights, t'peacefulIy il we can
forcibly if we must."> Great cheering
This phrase, ,,"wherever, found" implies
that there are friends of the Union in this
Contederacy, aud the resolution obIigingly
pledges toathem the support of the New
Jersey Democracy-uo1 surely without an
equivalent return. x.
To the same meeting General Fitz John
Porter writes letter, declaring, of course,
for the Constitution, and resistance to
despotism, and euding thus: ,,f.j,,,F ID
"The contest of arms, however, will not
be required; the certain and peaceful rem
edy will be found in the ballot-box. Let
US all possess our souls in patience. The
remedy is ours" iiag2 $50. 80
General Fitzjohn knows well that the
remedy is not theirs, unless "the South"
consent to throw its votes into that same
ballot box; aud it is for this, and this only,
that the Democratic hook is baited with
Peace" But a speech of Senator Wall,
of New Jersey, before Democratic club Of
Phila1elphia (Which we fnd, printed in the
SeRtineL), is passage more fully expound-,
ing the Democratic plan than anything we
have seen. He says: ~
"Subjugation aud aunihilation being
alike impossible, am in favor of an imme.
diate cessation of hostilities, for an
larmstice-that mid the lull Of the strife
The heat of passion shall have time to cool,
