TRENTON, N. j.. July 20, 1865.
The politics of this State different from those of any
other State in the Union. The republicans 1t is true,
divided into clques, and given less to
wrangng after the Of their brethren in other
States Jnst there is considerable diversity feel
ing between them the question of negro suffrage
The strongest feeling in favor Of that doctrine
from Newark and the adjacent counties. The southern
portion Of the State base become inoculaed any
great extent with that peculiar the delegates
here strongly insisting that shall not be brought into
the convention The German element from the northern
counties Of the State which has previous occasions
acted with the democratic party and in fact belong to
that class which sympathized with the Fremont move
ment last year, are represented as being persistent
in demanding the adoption of the universal negro
suffrage the cardinal principle Of the party This class
Of Germans known wherever they aren the Eastern
Western States in their native homes the other
side of the Atantc-as extreme radicals As general
thing thoy belonged to the nde red republican class in
Europe and naturally fell in with the extreme men, the
agitators in this country Their very nature requires
them TO take this They would not DO in their
element unless they had extreme advo-
cate Should Chief Justise Chase and the New England
Jacobns succeed in forming party this class of red
republican, revolutionary Germans will rush into its
ranks But they do form any considerable portion Of
the republican party in the State and exist in only
portion to extent worthy OF notice. They have many
sympathzcrs among tho native republicans, and 1t is
only tho strength they obtain from that that they
can accomplish anything carry point in the Conven
ton. The party general thing is quite radical but
large majority do wise to press their ultra
views, considering IL impoitic
The democracy, the other hand hunkers Of the
strongest bunker type and coll themselves the unadu
terated supporters of the constitution in every parcu
Lar without any exceptions. They are SO strong stick
lers that may be said that they lean little backward
In their adherence that doctrine But with all OF this
II almost impossible for the republicans to mako any
Roadway in the State and succeed in carrying
except when the democracy divided nominate
some extremely unpopular candidate The democratic
party has obtained hold upon the people which
almost impossible to counterfeit The revolution which
has taken place in parties and party issues by the collapse
OF the rebellion may, perhaps succeed in working out
revolution In this state; but Of that time alone
determine
Ono thing which has, perhaps, had more to do with
the exist Of this fact Is that the democracy ogi
mated, or at least were responsible for inaugurang
the financial policy of the State which has enabled the
people to escape the burdens OF taxation any great
extent The internal improvements, railroads and
canals through system of State revenue, pay nearly
all the state expenses Through this arrangement the
State has been able to through the four years Of
and out with only two and ahalf millions Of dollars
debt; that aside from the town and county indebted
II Is estimated that tax OF ten cents every
one hundred dollars OF and real estate property
OF the State would quidate the whole State debt The
oil the people believe that they indebted TO tho
democracy for this fact Whether right wrong they
Cling to that belief and Is strengthened by the pnmer
efforts of the republicans ut Washington TO interfere
with their system Of railroads.
Here then local questions peculiar TO New Jersey
ITSELF which make the State politically and in every
other way different from any other State In the Union
Of less general interest than that Of any other State
