1 4 That while we believe that the masses Of
the people of New ersey have been true to the
National cause. we vet declare that the infu--
ential leaders and presses OF the democratic
party-these that have shaped and controlled
its policy, have pursued course throughout
the war. utterly inconsistent with any manly
faith in the cause of the country. or any earn
est purpose to sustain it against rebellion. And
in support Of this grave charge we appeal to
the records of their public action 6
Through an Ex-Governor of the State, they
put forth manifesto, advising that New Jer-
sew should adopt the Montgomery constitution
and cast her lot with the South
n the darkest hour of the conflict tbev in
famed the passions. and appealed to the fears
of the people. prolongirg the war BY evidences
| of sympathy with treason and anticipation of
it's ultimate success;
They endeayored to cast odium on the war
and discourage volunteering, and thus contri-
buted TO the necessity of the large bounties,

| debt:
They denounced, as unconstitutional and op-
pressive, the draft which their own conduct had
made necessary, though it was plain that the
armies must be filed, or the nation DESTROYED ;
They persstently opposed the enlistment of
negro troops, in spite Of the obvious fact, that
for every negro they kept out of the ranks, one
! Of our own citizens must incur the dangers of
the field.
They excited popular opposition TO the ma
tional taxes. which their steadfast lovality
| would have greatly diminished by shortening
tbe war - - -.',''.
They repeatedly refused the elective fran
| chise to orr citizen soldiers in active service
! denvino to them a voice in the Government of
