The Nep.Jersey MonitOr-the new and spirited
Monopoly organ at Trenton-thus speaks
of certain recent demonstrations in the Legs
lature of that State, which (the People Will be
glad TO hear) closes its session to-day:
The UNSEEN HAND.-When Senator Sc0vel
WAS absent from his seat. of the Senators Uron
whom we had right TO expect better things) charged
him with representing the New-York brokers', ana
further said that Mr. ScOyel had remarked that ms
constituents owned the Delaware and Raritan road.
We have been inclined to regard tho Senate as c0ec
ton Of dignifed gentlemen and not as Justlce court
where the sharp practice Of law was ndulged IN By
referring to our reports of the DEBATE we nnu ta' M
Scoye said he represented his constituents rho unt
rerrssentsd in the Deiauare and Raritan road ms
the mple truth lie elected. though bitterly op-
posed by the Camden and Amboy Railroad, ana By inc
citizens Of Camden County who directly Interested
IN free railroads He has pursued an open. manly ana
dependent course which has made him friends In this
State and indeed all oyer the country. Mr.. Scoy. has
right tn his denial and bis simple word .as gGoteI N
Che legislative proceedings Of last week. that he did
not know aud did not care who owned the Delaware
and Raritan road will be implicitly relied upon by all
who know tho Senator. All these personal attacks are
In bad taste.
There is a great battle 10 be- fought between the peo.
plo on the hand and the politicians on the Other
and this fight TO be decided at the ballot boz VIII deter
mine whether the People or the Monopoly are soy
ereign At tho railway crossings. We can read the
signs Look CT! g.! the locomotive But there is
another sign which we discern. on which all monopo'
lists can read, Look out for the People"
We think discern the unseen hand at Hoboken
which deals these blows at brave and determined men
through his instruments and parasites on the floor OF
the Senate The power behind the throne. which has
its habitat at Hoboken, had better be preparing for the
coming wrath Of the people.
Another suggestion occurs 10 US. When Mr.. Broom.

March he said They Qhe Delaware and Raritan
Rairoad derive their very existence from the Legisa

their privilege as ii can do tomorrow by repeating
their charters and what becomes of them then There
is then no Rartan and Delaware Bay Railroad Compa.
nv There is then no Atlantic aud Camden Railroad
Company. What then, becomes Of our legislation

Two or three days afler ts speech upon the floor OF
Congress, Mr. Benson Of hoboken offers his little

The time has for tho people 10 act with cour'

be that OF the Senator from Camden. who says, Down
