THE wizard Of the world is coming.

ORDER INPUBdc AssEMBLIEs--A young
lawyer in New York, having been elected
from Wallack's Theater for improper be-
hayior, appealed to the Courts, which set
tied the principle-an important one for
those to consider, who imagine they can
take the largest personal liberty in public
assemblies with impunity. The Court de-
cided: l~ i" l"4L4'' r.-''' 20 "'@-'a
That an individual on entering an assem-
blage surrendered good deal ofhis person
allibertya that 1t was part Of his contract
TO keep, perfectly quiet; that the right of
an audience to perfect silence was as dis
tinctas of an ipdividqalt TO personal liberty;
and that any unnecessary Infringement OF
u could as properly be taken cognizance of
IN the one case as In the other. -'dgb

approved the action Of Gen. Thomas re-
garding Gen. Palmer, in command of the
Department of Kentucky, and the Secreta-
ry of War approves Palmer's action in re-

The Journal will publish to-morrowa let

Palmer's action in granting passes to ne
,groes who are neither free by action of the

On the War Path,

The little General is on the War path and
when last heard from was endeavoring to raj
ly his disorganized forces at Freehold, in
Monmouth County. He was accompanied
by several leading Copperheads from this
city and other sections Of the State, and was
evidently hard at work among the faithful,
apparently trimming his sails to suit the
more ".Southern breezes" of that locality; as
we understand, he associated while there
with the most virulent secessionists only
What new dodge" the General is contem-
plating, we are unable to say; but he evi-
IDENTIFY feels (judging from his care-worn
and anxious appearance) that some flank
movement must be executed. or his forces
in Monmouth will suffer a most disastrous
defeat.-Neaoark Patriot.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1865-09-28
Another Onfrage:

President johnson has made another at
tack upon 1.-THE muniments of personal lib
erty." He Issued pardon to Kenneth
Raynor, formerly Congressman from North
Carolina. If Raynor was blatant, uncom-
promising unrepenting rebel, this would be
all right. But the vagabond has recently
figured as an advocate of the fanatical theory
that negroes have rights which white men
are bound to respect, and has even gone so
far as to announce the atrocious doctrine that
if combinations of planters and capitalists
are formed against them, it will be necessary
to give them the right of suffrage for their
protection, and to avoid the danger of future
insurrection If President johnson contin.
ues to let loose such infammatory dema-
gogues upon Southern society, armed with
the ballot and having power to make
speeches, to control caucuses, and possibly
to get themselves elected to Congress, he
must expect to lose the enthusiastic admira-
ton Of the Democratic party. .r-

Immense Union Meeting in Trenton.

The Union Mass Meeting at Trenton last
week, was one of the largest gatherings that
has taken place in that city for years. Three
thousand persons were present, among
whom was division of soldiers, some of
them dressed in their uniform. The meeting
was addressed by Ger. Fitzpatrick and Gen.
Swift, of Louisiana. Gen, Fitzpatrick, who
was received with the most enthusiastic
cheers, concluded his stirring speech as
follows:
Fellow soldiers of Trenton: Voice, That's
what's the matter, 60 in on the soldier.) The
Copperheads profess much love for the SOL
der. After laughing at our wounds, taxing
us 81 poll tax to pay our own bounty, and
sneering at our efforts, they now profess to
love us. Their love is not reliable They
are not your friends Your friends are in
the Union party of New Jersey and they
having honored you in the past, will in the
future. The speaker eloquertly alluded to
his experience with the soldiers of New
Jersey, and to Kearncy and Bayard of i'm
mortal fame
In closing lie reminded them that MAR
Gus L. WARD ,cas the Soldiers Frjendi 1t
had been said that Gen. Runyon was sol
dier before he (the speaker) had seen gun.
If he knew so much of war, he made poor
use of his knowledge in the three months
service in burning his baggage when the
enemy were thirty miles away!
The Monmouth inquirer., 1865-09-28
6 Mum as q Reetle.,,

Gen. Runyon has been repeatedly asked in
the press of the State whether he is in favor
of the Constitutional Amendment, but as
yet he has maintained sturdy silence. The
question is an important one; one in which
the people of the State have deep concern;
and they earnestly desire an answer from the
man who so confidently solicits their suf-
frages. We repeat, therefore. the en-, ,Iuiry :
Gen. Runyon are you for tn. Constitutional
Amendment, or against it? Are you in favor
Of perpetuating the evil which has filled the
land with bloodshed and mourning, or do
you desire its abolition We beg to say to
you. General, that you have got to meet this
question. You can't shirk it, as you did
rebel bullets at Bull Run, by skulking in the
rear. This is the great living question of
the times; and you must be on one side or
the other. If you decline to avow your con-
victions, then you will be set down as
against this great measure of constitutional
reform-this proposition to obliterate the
curse and shame of American life and Amer
ican history.
Unlimber your batteries, General, and let
us know in what direction you propose to
shoot-whether into the ranks of loyal men,
or into those of slave-holding rebels
Patriot.
