The Inaug aration OF Governor Parker
Of New Jersey-His Conservative Ad-
dress.
We publish this morning the inaugural ad-
dress OF the Hon. Joel Parker, Governor of
New Jersey. and a brief account of the public
ceremonies attending his inauguration Our
readers will find that Governor Parker. in this
address, takes the same high, conservative
stand that Governor Seymour announced in his
message to our own Legislature. Indeed he
takes stronger ground-more decisive. more
emphatic. Like Governor Seymour, the Gov
srnor Of New Jersey, after deliberately re-
viewing the affairs Of his State, devotes conside-
rahls attention 10 national topics. TO which,
during this dreadful period of civil war, the
affairs Of each State are, Of course, subsidiary.
Like Governor Seymour, Also the Governor Of
New Jersey discusses the nature Of our govern.
