Democratic nominee for Governor
of New Jersey. The convention
met at Trenton, On the 22d July.
We append the following planks
of the platform adopted
L. We heartily endorse the
nomination of Horatio Seymour
and Frank 2. Blair, jun,, and the
platform of the National Conyen-
ton.
2. We congratulate our people
upon their spontaneous repudia-
ton of the Republican proposition
to strike the word white out of
our State Constitution and to es-
tablish political equality between
the white and black races in this
State.
3. The New Jersey Democracy,
accepting the settlement of slave
~ by the war, and by the volun.
untary action of the Southern
States since, do nevertheless insist
upon the rights ofall the States to
regulate their own domestic insti-
buttons in their own way without
Congressional interference.

~ The Land We Love for Au-
gust contains fifteen original arti-
cles. Comparative Generalship
exposes the emptiness of Grants
claim to be a great commander.
The Decay of Religion in the
South is thoughtful article by
Mr.. Manigault. The System of
English Gang Labor shows that
the English Abolitionist has a
more cruel system of slavery at
home, than that which he SO much
deplored at the South. The Dick
ems Dinner is splightly burlesque
of the toadyism OF the American
Press. Sheep Husbandry calls
attention to an important subject
for the Southern farmer. The
poetry is from Mrs. Clarke, Hen
ry r. jackson and Edward A.
jerks.
There are two tales of fiction
and several essays.

A dreadful accident occurred here
night before last. During the
regular performance at Longs
Music Hall, the alarm of fire was
raised. The entire audience i'm
mediately rushed for the doors,
completely blocking up the pas
sage way, and the widest excite
ment prevailed. When order
was restored, by the repeated
announcement that there was no
fire, it was found no less. than
twenty-three persons, mainly wo-
men and children, had been crush
ed to death in the stampede, and
a large number had limbs broken
and otherwise injured.

New Orleans, August 3.-Negro
named Willis Rollins, who had
been making Democratic speeches
to negroes of this city for the past
week, has aroused the enmity OF
the Radicals, both white and
black, and several attempts have
been made on his life. On Satur.
day night a crowd followed him
for several squares, trying to drag
him from the street car. In ma
ing his escape he was arrested
and charged with melting riot,
but released on bail yesterday.
Another attack with slung-shot
was made on him this morning.
On appearing before the Record
er, it was found the original charge
ofcarrying concealed weapons sub.
stituted ; but he was discharged
by the Recorder. On being re.
leased, Rollins life was again
threatened by excited negroes,
but was escorted by his friends
/ to the rooms of the Constitution
Club, on Canal street, in the
neighborhood of which crowd
gathered, and the excitement in
creased. Gov. Warmoth appeared
and made a short but effective
speech, telling the negroes they
should rather protect Rollins in
the public expression of his opin
ions, that seek to deprive him Of
that right, and advising the crowd
to disperse and go home, which
they did. Warmoth's speech is
highly spoken of.

Of gratitude to a large portion Of
our colored population-to those
who assisted us in gaining such
signal triumph over the commop
enemy. The victory thus gained
is due to the freedmen in a great
measure, for without their tasSis-
lance our enemies would have
proven victorious. 1t is now eyt
dent that the black man is desir.
GUS of cultivating the white mans
friendship, and we should recipro.
cate that friendliness; we should
prove to them both by word and
deed, that their confidence in us
has not been misplaced-tlsat they
have not MISGUIDED us; that we ar a
as we ever have been, their only
true friends.
Let us, in return for their conf.
dence in any kindness towards Us.
aid and assist them as far as wa
are able to do so; instruct and
counsel them, teach and enlighten
them as to their duties and re-
sponabilities as citizens;aid them
in building their schoolhouses and
churches; sell them our lands on
long credit, and aid them in erect.
ing thereon comfortable, houses
for themselves and families. Do
this, and instead of only q portion
of the colored race being with US
now, in a short while the entire
black population of the South wilA
become our allies, they will cast
their destinies with-ours.
The impression prevails in the,
minds of a large majority Of tho.
freedmen, that as soon as the.
Democratic party gets in power,
the elective franchise viii be taken,
from them Let this impression
be erased; let their minds, be dis
abused OF this false idea, and the
colored men viii go. to, a man faD

Il is a duty which all Conserva-
tives and all permanent inhabi-
tants of the State owe to the col.
ored men whosuppogt and sustain
their rights, which are the rights
OF all such, white or black, to give
the latter the most complete
protection and a preference in
all respects over those, white OF
black, who go against them.--
