He reviewed the of the President showing how he
had abused his power. The result Of the late elections
were only evidence inst the country could again be re-

the ascendancy Of the Democratic party which had al
ways been 20 true 70 the principles upon which the
try had been exalted
The ex-governor denounced the emancipation proea-

j1rity of the people of the North thar the Southern
States should have clear md distinct guarantees Of all
their rights We are people of compromise. The
United States Constitution and the Constitutions Of
most Of tie Sttes have undergone numerous mOdhca-
toas. The people had taken one step toward showing
an appreciation Of their responsibility. They had
spoken through the ballot box The people Of New
Jersey were willing 70 say to the Southern states TO
whom they bound in heart and fselnz-thev were
willing to say 10 them; Come back; you shall have
al the guarantees you had before and YOU want more
for the Institutions IN your respective States you shall
have thsm." lAppiau O. This can be done only
through the Democratic party and the State of New
Jersey would be flreIuos in conciliaton.
Hon. Daniel Holsnan Of the New jersey legislature
said ne told a. Washington by promneut member
OF the committee OF avs ard Means that requisitions
amounting TO Sc9OJJOOJ were new lying Unanswered,
while the vutures Of the Republican party were fatten-
ing upon the treasury. Ths time had now arrived
whenYe shOu count the cost and be believed it be the
duty Of the Legislature Of New jersey take nitiatOry
measures and lead off in the grand work of restoring
liberty 60 those who have lost il.
George p Anderson, ESQ he'd it 10 be true patriot
ISM to declare what IDEAS we have the issues Of the
hour. He cOutanded that were wrong from the be-
ginning, and were now, and there can be settlement
pe4cei restoration or union until we are set right The
States had DOW taken back their original sovereignty
and New Jersey could take her stand any Union that
may be formed Now taat emancfpafi1u was Or elsi-
ed he contended that army should be called back
once for they have no business there except for the
purpose which brought them there. THIS war he said,
must cease and the rights Of the South be respec

ilery upon the Aricanzed guerias who have Farro-

guarantees Of the rights Of the States by the COns-

the Governor Of New YORK not one Executive of a
Northern State has spoken in denunciaon Of the viola

Of the U1tted States as superior AID above them.
If yield q right and consent 10 be tyranizsd over

Southern but Northern men. We should do all in our
power 10 drive these men ou- ami should what
We do by saying 20 the South "a The doctrines Of
