EDrrons DrMocnAr Sin my last ! gave
in my indifferent way tho beautiful
result Of the Senatorial Convention held
at this place. 1t now becomes my pain.
full duty to lay before your readers the
dolngs Of the trooly loiu when again in
Convention assembled, and their trials
and tribulations in attempting to nomi-
nate a Delegate. The Convention met at
l2'o'clock NJ, and it being Court day,
considerable crowd was in attendance.
Daniel, Of "pork notorioty,' led of with
a speech, in which he recapituiated all
the plati,ndcs he Is wont to inHict upon
his audience. His speech was exceed
ingly bite, il its terms-hc dcnouncing
the "ncw movement" in the most un-
measured manner, yet for why am at a
loss to, determine, since its authors have
branded It as bastard. t
Tho opposing candidates were Captain
A. NJ. Poundstonc, Gate Of Ohio and for
merly Of Pennsylvania.) whose chief
cE,ims consisted Of tho fact that l'e once
commanded a company Of "colored
| Americans Of African scent" and that
the scent" clings round ltm still and
Thomas G.. Farnsworth, m old and res.
pectabIe citizen, and, witlal, cousin Of
Danicps, which is 'about the only draw
back to bis character.
Poundstone seemed to have the inside
track FROM tho start, owing to Ills scent,
and tho fact that lie had secured the dele.
gates from tho Townships in advance. In
addition to this he had the support Of all
the rag-tag and bob-tail lovers Of CufEce
pure and indebted.
Tie Convention organized after a
stormy time, and Pounlslonc was placed
in nomination BY this time The rnga-
mullins had started the rumor that Thorn.
as G. was "let up.'' lIc was called to
the stand and cross-qucstioned and in.
terrogatcd as 10 his views on everything
except the hog question, aud hc was Il.
nally asked ifh he would submit himself to
tho Convention. lie replied that lie
would submit lis claims to the republi.
can voters in the house, but not to any
packed delegation. Ills proposition was
first accepted, but after counting noses the
friends Of the quondam niger Captain
from Ohio and Pennsylvania found they
we're in fearful minority, and proceeded
to vote by dclegations--tl,us defeating
Dir. Farnswortli. who thcrcupon announ.,
ccd that he had been foully and unfairly
dealt with, and proceeded to give them
such raking over the Goals as they have
deserved but not received for many long
day, and concluded by announcing him.
self ms MI independent candidate.
His course, as well MS his character, will
undoubtedly carry him triumphantly
through and secure his election and III
tho meantime tho Democracy can lay
back aud laugh. It's none Of Que funeral
and We can afford to enjoy the luxury
that costs us nothing. At least so thinks
an OLD SoLDiEn.

THE DIsFnANGHlSED.
Our Total Population Number or vo-
tiers, and Number Of DisIra Rchised
Men In the State. =

1n'vicw Of the faet that many Of our
radical friends seem to think that the
number Of those disfraneliscd by the in
famous workings of the registration law
is comparatively small, We give below a
table prepared by one of the ablost poll
'icians ofthc State, by which It wal be
seen that the total number disfranchiscd
is %, l& Yet the I1shigencp and all
of its ilk propose to Keep this large mum.
Der of our citizens in their presen. con-
ditnn ofPofsicat degradation, until me
gro suffrage is an accomplished s,ct,"
That paper says in so many words that
"wc were never in favor of rebel suffrage
per SC; but il, through the influence Of
tho Democracy of other States the XVIII
Amendment is defeated, we will soil an
INSTANT HALT in the work. Of enfranchisc-
mcnt,' The Same liberal" sheet also
adds that las a matter Of Justice the
claims Of the negro to tue right ofsuifragc
are infinitely superior to those Of the
rebel-as measure ofpolicy it is ncces-
sary that both should be enfranchised to-.
gcthcr." In these two paragraphs the
L'eQiyeneer gives its ul,imatum-which.
stripped Of its disguise means simply this:
"Thnt unless . 900 negroes of thi, State
arc first enfrancliscd, the 10000 white
men shall never be cnfranchised" The
M'e1igcScer may bray itself l,oarsc call
ing an ''insiant hail." but its efforts will
BE- futile. The work ofjusticc and mag.
nanimity has been taken in hand by the
people, and the ln'ell.genccr might as we'll
command the sun to stand still as to at.
tempt to withstand the revolution which,
it has inauguratcd. Revolutions never
60 backwards; and the present one las
passed from the control Of the politician,
into the hands of,hc people, and woo be
unto those who attempt to tl,wart their
purposes! This movement, which was
inauguratcd by sorc.hcadcalcd politicians
to accomplish their own selfish purposes,
has passed from their hands into those Of
wiser and better men, whom the people
have called to carry out their wishes; aud
the "lcading loil organ may cry t"halt'
until its physiognon'iny resemble that o.
turkey.cock and its voice cracked
trumpet, but II will be needed less thar
the wind when it walls throygh the leaf
forest. Verify. the sccp.rc has departed
from political dcmagogscs, and is helt
firmly by the pcoplc-who, in the majesty
of their power, wilNcarry on She work 0
