The Fiasco OF the New Jersey Republi-
cans-Duty OF the Democracy.
The republicans of New Jersey, at the State
Convention recently held at Trenton, fooled
away the only opportunity which they had for
success in the coming canvass. They had an
opportunity to shelve the old political and
party hacks, nominate live man, and reward
a gallant officer for his valuable services in the
preservation of the nation. General Kilpat-
rick, who entered the army at the very COM
mencement Of the war, and remained in active
service to its close, was overslaughed, and an
old politician, standing candidate for office,
nominated for Governor. In this result they
have officially announced their want of appre-
citation of the issues of the times, and prove
that they have learned nothing by the severe
lessons Of the past four years.
The politicians Of the country brought upon
us the late rebellion and civil war. BY their
intrigues and corruption one section was
aroused against the other; the schism, which at
first was but spark, was famed into u flame,
until the people of the two sections were ar
rayed in fierce struggle for the mastery, the
like of which was never befors seen. When
this had been accomplished by the politicians,
the true Union nen Of the North, the live men
of the county, left their business, their homes
and firesides, and taking their lives into their
own hands, entered the field Of battle,
there braved all manner Of danger,
and gallantly fought for the preser-
vation of the nation Througk their
efforts our nob&' flag was again carried

this glorious record, sufficient to rally the
people OF any State to his support, his claims
were set aside by the paxfy.whieh pretends

POLITICAL hack nominated ins bis staad. The
politicians who brought the wan upon the
country remained at home speeulhting and
making money out of the necessities of the
nahsa,. fattening on the spoils, whil@ QUE gene
rails and gallant soldiers were fighting our
battles. The New Jersey republicans at the
very first opportunity, reward ons Of these
politi0ians and throw out the empty honor of
the chairman of their Convention bait or
reward ta the soldier. In this aot they have
shown that they are welded to thar intriguing
and,shoddy politician.
The republicans had golden opportunity,
but i'm elinging to their old hacks they have
thrown that opporturs ~ away ami placed the
State in the hands u the demosracy. II the
democxaktc party of that State have any sense
left they will at once nominate other General
Kilpatnisk or Geners Mott, another noble New
Jersey soldier, for Governor, and enter the
canvass at once. General MottA record in the

~ their standhrdrbearer the success Of the
democracy is oertsin and easy. If they have
any comprehension of their duty they will not
let this oppoctunity slip by without improving
it. The republicans through the demoralizing
influence OF the Chase party and the additional
load in trying 10 bolsterup the shoddy politi-
clans at the expense of the soldiers, will find
more than they can carry against such an issue
presented by the democracy. Justice Chase
has been South on an electioneering tour, and
is now travelling through New England. At
every step he renders the republican party
more sdious to the people He is also making
his combinations with the Custom House and
internal revenue officials. Since the long-to-be-
remembered Cooper Institute meeting in this
city his friends have been afraid of our
generals, and everywhere labor against them.
This, we dare say, is one cause of their shelv-
