WHO SHALL BE GOVERNOR.

On the Sd of November the people of
New Jersey are to choose who they will
have for Governor for three years.
Practically the choice is confined to
two men-both old Wings, both men
of considerable wealth, and both earn
estly supported by their respective
friends.
The Democratic candidate is Theo-
dore Fitz Randolph, who is, as his
Democratic friends boast, descendant
of one of the "first families of New
Jersey" Mr.. Randolph commenced
his public life as Wing, and after that
party had disbanded, he supported the
policy and candidates of the Know
Nothing party and in the Democratic
Gubernatorial Convention he was sup
ported by and was the candidate of the
old Know Nothings-now Democrats
as John Fl. Lyon, Charles D. Deshler,
Augustus W. Cutler, James Bishop,
and others of the same kidney. He
was actively opposed by large section
of the convention on this ground, but
the Know Nothing element prevailed. =
Mr.. Randolph, by lucky speculations
in coal lands, and in other ways has
accumulated large fortune, and is dis
bursting freely for the benefit OF the
hungry Democracy. Personally he is
respectable gentleman, but as Cover.
nor of the State he would be found the
ready alder and abetter of the worst
element of the Democratic party. He
heartily endorses the Tammany plat
form, Reputation, Blair's letter and
all.
John 1. Blair does not claim descent
from the " first families. - He COM
menced life poor boy, and by his own
efforts and intelligence has raised him
self to his present position. His for
tune has not been accumulated by lucky
speculations, but by legitimate enter
prise, keen enterprise, keen sagacity
and unfagging industry. During his
whole career he has displayed those
rare qualities that At man for an adj
ministrative position. In the present

condition OF affairs we especially re-
ouire as Governor thorough business
man and able financier. On the proper
administration of our finances depends
the prosperity OF the State, and we
could nowhere find man more thor
oughly filing these requirements. In
national politics, Mr.. Blair occupies a
position widely differing from that of
Mr. Randolph. Mr.. Blair is for the
payment of the national debt, honestly,
according to the spirit Of the contract.
Mr.. Randolph endorses the Pendleton
plan of reputation. Mr.. Blair is for
maintaining the Congressional policy
of reconstruction in the rebel States. -
Mr.. Randolph would commit the gov
eminent of those States to the hands Of
Wade, Hampton. Robert Toombs, the
Butcher Forrest, and their follows.
The voters of New Jersey know the
candidates they appreciate the issues
pending, and it is for them to choose.
We trust that they will decide wisely
and well, and elect John [. Blair, by
decided majority and all the signs OF
the times, all the reports from different
parts of the State, point to that result.

THE MORAVIAN MISSION.

In accordance with the notice and
invitation published in our paper OF
Saturday, we yesterday found our way
to st. Johns Church for the afternoon
services. This large and beautiful
house of worship was filled with a
most attentive, if not an equally devout
congregation.
Wewere glad to see the representatives
of most of our churches there, and
several of the pastors, who, by the
way, used the book of common pray
er" and " found the places" with an
ease and readiness, which betokened
familiarity with that, the most excel
lent compilation of praise and prayer
tobe found in the English tongue, and
their responses were truly refreshing.
The object of the meeting was to in
terest the citizens of Elizabeth in the
work of erecting house of worship
for the German Moravian Episcopal
Church to be located at the Cross
Roads"
The honored rector Rev. S. A. Clark
read the service. He was followed in n
well worded and finely delivered extern
sive address by the venerable Bishop
Schultz of the Moravian Church. He
.dwelt at length on the missionary char
acter of the united BRETHREN" their
origin and history as a denomination,
and referred. though very delicately, to
the tie which connects the Moravian
and the Episcopalian together, perhaps
it was because the tie was so slight and
so remote. The address was a gem,
for its perfect simplicity; we almost felt
as we listened to the venerable Bishop
that we were in communication truly
with a patriarch of the church of past
ages.
Bishop Clark of Rhode Island made
the next address. 1t was Just like him.
Full of good thoughts, well and forci
bly, expressed. He Endorsed the mis-
sion and made splendid appeal in its
behalf for large and liberal collection
The Rev. S. A. Clark next spoke
urging his people to give, and praying
that the pastor of the Moravian Mis-
sion, (the Rev. III. Aeu,) should no
be allowed to go beyond our city t.
raise the amount asked for, ten thous
and dollars.
A collection was taken the amour
of which we did not learn, but have nj
doubt it was most liberal Bishop
Clark read the closing prayer aftel
which Bishop Shultz pronounced the
benediction, when the congregation
separated we have no doubt greatly in
terested in the Moravian Mission.

presented to the people war candidate
on peace platform. We only mention
this to show that the party tactics are
/ the same now as III 1864. 1t celebrated
the ninety second anniversary of the
nations birth by holding counsel in the
advocacy Of measures which would re-
suit in that nations ultimate downfall.
War Democrats united in nominating a
man who steadily opposed every i'm
portant means for its prosecution, upon
platform proposing partial repudia-
ton of the national debt, when their
candidate. only three months before.
had explicitly declared in favor of main
tanning inviolate, the public faith.
Peace Democrats and unrepentant reb-
els, united upon n candidate for Vice
President who commenced political life
as an ardent abolitionist, and fought
them as best he could until the last
rebel had surrendered So we have
peace man and war man, running the
same race together, both destined never
to reach the goal.
This party claims to be an honest
one, in the face of the notorious fact
that when the Republicans came into
power, Democratic Secretary had de-
pleted the national treasury, leaving it
without a penny, and now they propose
to tell those who lent their money to
carry on the war that they must takein
payment deprecated paper, when every
one knows that if such thing had been
even limited at, at the time, the bonds
would not have been taken, and conse-
quently the government would have
been unable to maintain its own exist
ence. The Democratic party would
have this nation accused, before the
civilized world, of that miserable offence
of " obtaining money under false pre-
lenses"
Such are some of the counts in our
indictment of the Democratic party, as
one of conspicuous inconsistencies, du-
ring the past eight years. Do not let
us be understood, however, as including
all its members in what has been said,
for we believe that many of them were
and still are, loyal and patriotic But
we must judge party by its recognized
leaders, and 50 Judging, the conclusion
is inevitable that its record as party is
bad and unpatriotic. Nor do we claim
entire consistency for the Republican
party-that would be trying to make it
more than human-but we do claim
that had it not been for this party dur
ing the war, treason would have tri-
umphed and the Union been dissolved.
Were it not for the Republican party
now, all the war gained for us, would
be of no avail. and should the Repub-
lican party, by any possibility, be de-
feated in November, the same result
will follow, as would have followed
Lees triumph instead of Grants at
Freemen of Pennsylva.

ton on your part, contributes to this
end Republicans everywhere! Work

The WHARFBoATs AeAIE.-A called
meeting of the Board of Mayor and
Alderme en- was held in the Council Cham
Der on Saturday afternoon, at which the
all-absorbing question of the wharfboats
was again brought up. A message was
received from acting Mayor McDavitt,
stating that the proprietors of the Star
Wharf had eDjoined the city from re-
moving their boat from its present
mooring, and recommending to the
Board suspension of their action with
regard to the removal of the other boats
until such time as the said injunction
can be dissolved. A motion being made
that the message of the acting Mayor be
adopted, and the boats be allowed to lie
at the landing until the courts give de-
cision in the matter, protracted debate
ensued. The motion at length, however,
was carried, and thus the whole matter
thrown from the Council into the courts,
where it will probably drag its slow
length from term to term, unheard OF
again until the present generation shall
have passed away, and so may it be.
