A New Jersey Unionist asks us to say
whether our soldiers honorably discharged
from the service are entitled to vote without
being naturalized. We answer, not accord
ing to our understanding. We understand
that law has been passed by Congress
which provides that every foreigner who has
heporably served year in our armies is
thereupon entitled to be naturalized with
outprevious declaration of intentions or fur
ther probation. So we say, let every foreign
born soldier, who has served year in the
Union armies, be naturalized as soon as
possible.-N Y Tribune

Mr.. Q. M. Harrison, State Superintendent
Of Public Schools, upon invitation Of the
Town Superintendent Of Atlantic, delivered
a lecture in the Dutch Reformed Church at
Colts Neck, in behalf Of Free Schools and
Liberal Education. sa1r. s1r Harrison is evidently
very able man, and thoroughly interested
in his work. Only a few days ago heard
an intelligent man say All Of our schools
are free, what more do we want p But Mr..
Harrison proves by statistics that not one
half Of our schools are free, notwithstanding
the fact that a large number Of them are
kept open but three months in the year. He
further reveals the fact that very large
portion of our teachers are incompetent; !;
that many of our Town Superintendents do
not take interest enough in the schools to
visit them, and that in some places, for lack
of funds and enterprise, schools are kept in
old, ricksty outbuldings, where the children
have enough to do to keep warm, without
thinking Of studying. He also states the
teachers are inadequately paid. Is it aston
ishing that the teachers are incompetent,
when they are paid little or no more than a
common farm laborer7 Those who know
enough to teach, know that they can do bet
ter elsewhere Appoint as Superintendents
men who have the welfare of their schools
at heart; appropriate sufficient sums Of mo
ney to secure the services of the best of
teachers, and New Jersey will soon be on a
par with the Middle States. During the
course of his lecture, he states that had
there been system of free schools through
out the Southern States, there would have
been no rebellion and he might have stated,
with equal truth, that lad there been per-
feet system Of free schools in this State for
the past twenty-five years, New Jersey
would not have SO disgraced herself at the
last Presidential election. 0f a
Our Town Superintendent certainly de-
serves great credit for the interest he mani
tests in the schools. He is the best Super

On taking the chair, Gen. Fitzpatrick made
speech. .........
He thanked the convention fer the honor
which they had conferred by selecting him to
preside over the only loyal convention which
will be convened in the State. In accepting the
honor and taking his seat he did not intend to
make any lengthy speech. He should as soon
think of talking war to that chieftain Lieutenant
General Grant, as to talk politics to this vast
concourse of politicians. He had accepted the
invitation of many friends to meet here to-day
that there might not be any mistake as to
where he stands at the present time that he
might show by his example where all soldiers
should be found, now that war was over. He
took his stand here to- day with great pride
among the men who never uttered disloyal
word, but had remained firm during the dark
hours of the Union. He then proceeded to de-
nounce the Northern secessionists, and was fire.
quently interrupted with cries, Charge them
again" He had heard expressions everywhere,
as he travelled from one section of the country
to the other, in reference to his State, which
made his heart ache to hear and caused dis
gust for the men who had placed them in that
position before the country. He had been more
excited since his return from the field of battle
over the assertions of men in the very heart of
this State, than at anything which he witnessed
during the war. He had heard men in the
county of his home, witwin the last few days,
denounce Abraham Lincoln as tyrant, and
President johnson as murderer He believed
that the copperhead editors in the North were
equally guilty with the Southern rebels. He
favored the arrest of the whole batch, and of
their being tried and hung by the side of the
chief of secessiOnists, the ex-President of the
confederacy, JEFF. Davis. He counseled har-
mony in their action, to drop all questions likely
to produce discord and strife, and let it be
shown by their actions that they were a Union
party, not only in name but in action. He urged
that they would select the man for their candi-
date who would concentrate the strongest vote
and defeat and rout the men who had opnosed
the var at home.
Mr.. Keasbey, from the committee on Res
olutions reported the following
Resolced, That we rejoice that the war for the
life of the nation has not proved Failure as
was announced by the Democratic Convention
at Chicago less than one year ago, but has re-
suited in an honorable peace; not BY conces-
sion to rebellion or compromise with slavery:
but by the valor of the soldiers, the faith of the
people, the wisdom of the government, and a
trm adherence to principle a peace which set
ties the vital questions of thu war-the power
and stability of republican government, the
paramount sovereignty of the nation, and the
extinction Of slavery in the United States.

Lincoln, under whose wise aad faithful guild

Judge Ryerson moved that all resolutions
relative to State and National affairs be re-

Capt. Geo. B. Halstead earnestly opposed this
motion. He protested against the movement.
If that was to be the policy he would surrender
Il his credentials and leave the Convention. There
were many things which they musHdiscuss. He
desired that every delegate should have an OPP
portunity to urge his views, and then abide by
the decision of the Convention upon them. He

cred that he had right to a voice in this body.
| He knew very we'll what was intended by this
resolution. Its mover hoped to shut out all dis
cussion in reference to the negroes; but he stood
here to defend and advocate the negroes. They
| had been forced upon the country through the
rebellion, and they could not shun the issues
which have been brought up in consequence.

The announcement of Mr.. Lincoln's name
was followed by motion that out Of respect
to his memory, the Convention rise and stand
uncovered, which was adopted.
Judge Ryerson and others explained that
the motion was customary one, and not de-
signed to stifle discussion at all, and that any
delegate could offer any resolution he might
see fit 1&
Capt. Halstead accepted the explanation,
and gave notice that he should submit Ger
