Trenton, N. j., March Is.
Last night resolutions were introduced
in the Senate denying the truth Of the
representations that New Jersey intended
to resist by force the execution of certain
acts Of Congress. After . very ANNA
ted debate the resolutions were passed
by hearty vote, no one opposing the
resolutions in consequence Of the implied
censure upon them. The last Of the res
elutiens declares as follows: The citizens
Of New Jersey are law abiding. CON-
sti.ution loving people, and ardently de.
voted to o union of the States, aud that
while they condemn or protest against
certain laws as unconstitutional and un.
just, yet until they are repealed or de-
clared by competent tribunal to be un-
constitutional, they will regard them as
laws and will confidently look to the
courts and the ballot box for redress.
This morning the same resolutions
passed the Assembly by large vote.

Look at the Figures.

Taxpayers, we ask your attention to
the fearful exhibition of figures, which
show the increasing debt brought upon
the country by the Abolition party. The
expenses of the war are set down at
THREE MILLIONS PER DAY and the war
has lasted nearly one thousand days,
which, at that rate, amounts to the enor-
nous sum of THREE BILLIONS of dol
lars. Now, Pennsylvania quota has
been officially fixed at one sixth of the
whole, which is $5OO,OOO, 600! 1t is
upon this that the following apportion-
ment of debt and interest is based.
In the same way the quota for each
township, in Cambria County, can be as
certained, which will amount to far more
than all the property in the county would
bring at public sale. Just think of ii
taxpayers, and consider whether you will
vote for continuance of this state oi
things. Remember that EVERY DOLLAR
OF THIS MONEY MUST BE RAISED By
TAXATION. If you desire this species
of servitude, and are tired of liberty, all
you have to do, in order to increase youi
misery. is to vote for Andy Curtin.

Extract from the decision of Judge Wood

ing of legislation to the EXTREMIST limit
Of the Constitution No citizen could be
blamed for volunteering. He was invoked
to do so by appeals as strong as his love of
country. IN the nature, of things there is
nothing unreasonable in exempting i sol
dier's property from execution whilst he is
absent from home battling for the supre-
macy of the Constitution and the integrity of
the Union. And when he has not run be-
fore he was sent, but has yielded himself up
to the call of his country, his self sacrificing
patriotism pleads. trumpet tongued, for all
the indulgence from his creditors which the
Legislature has power to grant. If the
term of indulgence seems long in this in,
