A great effort is being made 20 carry the
State Of New Jersey BY the Republican
Union men. The main question is, whether
that Slate shall raiify the Consiitutiouai
Amendment aoolishing slavery, and ID Is
now pot 70 the people. Major General John
A. Logan is stumping the State: His frst
! speech was in Jersey CITY, and We quote
from the New York Tribunes repor. the
most interesting passages Of his stirring
speech: New Jersey, / believe. is the only
state IN the Union, where slavery does not
/ exist, that refused % pass the amendment %
the COnst'tut on OF the United States, de-
/ claring that slavery should never agsin ex-
Isl IN this proud Government Of ours. And
| this was not because they had an interest in
slavery, but because they wanted TO DO n6th-
| ing that would be Objectionable 70 this pe,-
/ pie with whom they had been politically as
ISOLATED 20 long, aad with whom their sym
/ pathies were 50 strong. There could have
/ been no other reason Tor o.. Oh. ii I had il
| in my power, and these men we're collected
here tonight, ! would assemble in their
| presence every widow who has been made
such by this war, every man that came
/ through our State on cru.ches, every man
who presented himself amer the light With
one arm, or no arm at all, or with shattered
wrecks for limbs, and / would marshal be
tore them, too, the orphans 5t thewar, and
Uould say Here, YOU godly % men OF
the Legislature Of New Jersey, look upon
the scene and zee what slavery has done Cor
these people lSeusatiou.l And if we're
a one-srmed or one legged soldier. snd
could meet one OF these me0, i would raise
the stump Of my lost member in his pres
ence, and say 20 him, SIR, look upon thai
ruin. It has been made SO By a rebel shot,
produced by this institution OF slavery. You
voted that il should n0s die That vote
was 70 reyivify il and bring it again intoex-
istence. And this is the Democrat party
Of New Jersey, who apply 10 US the ep,theis
'renegades' and traitors 20 the party. Well, /
I have no shame FOR q thiug 5f that kind,
be it called by what ever name they NAV
see ft 70 give 1t. Fifteen years from to-dsy, /
