From new Jcrsey.

From New Jersey. e
We publish the following address
to the Democracy of New Jersey,
signed by John H. Ryerson, e. H.
Bunting and A. J. Dean, Committee:
The Central Democratic Jackson
Association of New Jersey congratu-
late their fellow Democrats through
the State upon the glorious result Of
the November elections. Reason
and q desire to save our unhappy
country from the iron thraldom of
radical rulers, inspired the people to
rise in all their majesty, and at the
ballot-box to rebuke those tyrants
who would make them slaves. The
ime-honored principles of Constitu-
tional liberty were duly considered,
and the verdict has been sounded
throughout the land. A great battle
is to be fought in November, 1868.
All the cunning and craftiness of q
wicked foe will be brought against
us. 1t is proper and right that
organizations should be Immediately
formed to meet the enemy when
the contest shall take place. In
organizing the Democratic masses,
the Central Jackson Association of
New Jersey would call your especial
attention to their plan Of organiza-
ton. 1t is private in its workings,
and none but true and reliable De-
mocrats are admitted to its consulta-
tions and meetings. Many of the
prominent men of the party in this
and other States have become mem
bers, and all pronounce it to be the
oery best plan for the concentration
of the party. It is established as an
institution within the Democratic
ranks and commends itself to every
Democrat as means for the develop
ment of the inherent strength of the
party. And while the association is
purely and strictly Democratic, its
principles in the present political
exigencies are so completely conserv-
ative and broadly national, that none
who hold the country's good at heart
and desire to see perpetuated the
principles of free government, can
refuse to become participants in the
great work the Jackson Association
propose to accomplish. The main
tenance of the Constitution. and the
preservation, through that instru-
ment. of civil liberty by the exercise
OF the habeds corpus, freedom of
speech, freedom of the press, the
more economical management of the
national finances, and, finally, the
full vindication of the principle that
this is Government made by white
men to be administered by ,cAite men,
are among the leading principles of
this association. Will you use your
influence to organize in your locality
Jackson Association, and thereby
aid in driving from power an oil
garchy polluted by dishonesty and
many other crimes? Organization
in every city, town and school dis
trict will give as strength, and the
people hope when the eventful day
of action arrives, it will give us
victory at the polls, and thereby
send all over our country Joy for the
people and honor and glory for the
nation.
Application for the formation of
associations must be made in writing,
and signed by ten or more reliable
Democrats, and duly forwarded to
the Corresponding Secretary. The
board of organizers will delegate
members to proceed to the locality
named in the call and perform the
work of organization. The follow
ing gentlemen constitute the Board
of Organizers: President, John 81.
