Gentlemen: have had the honor to re-
ceiye your kind invitation to public din
ncr Of the Conservative party Of BERTHE, at
J Windsor. on the 1th inst. in honor Of the
recent victory achieved in the late election,
and regret. that business engagements de-
ny me the pleasureof attending.
beg you however, and those you rep.
resent, to DE assured Of my cordial good
wishes and sincere congratulations on the
event which brings you together. The
grand result Of the election, attained as Il
wasby the calm and spontaneous detcrmi-
nation Of the people. not only without any
undue means tosway them in that direct
ion, but IN the face Of patronage and pow
or, and the appliance Of a military force,
actually distributed and stationed az the
precincts in snndry counties; and after ar
resting and holding IN prison many Of our
most respectable and influential men, to
drive them to the contrary. affords abund-
ant cause for rejoicing and thanksgiving BY
all good aud patriotic citizens. II demon
strates, that the people are fully alive to
the magnitude of the interests involved IN
the contest. and that the power to control
the government is again 10 Tho hands Of
those. who expect permanently to live UNI
der il, 70 pay is costs. and to feel. in their
persons and interests, the consequence Of
good or evil counscls and policy. Il il
thus, that il rcsives hopcin the breasts Of
those who may have been doubtful or de-
spondent; and induces them % thank God
and take courage 70 rebuild their waste
places. and make lasting homes in their ma
/ tive land. II "opens up for the future q
new vista. Faith must be kept with the
Federal government, BY full observance
Of the rights and proper care Of the in
tcrcsts Of the colored race; which no one
among NJ would now disturb IL nc could, J
but all e.se IN our system Of internal gov
eminent and police. is in the hands Of the
people Of the State. It is for them that
this government exists BY them II is paid
for aud maintained. and II should conform
to their interests. wants and tastes. II is
manifest that much Of the existing system
is of foreign importation and mot the Off
spring Of the deliberate Judgment Of the
people. These parts were copied from the
institutions Of States difererently circum-
stanced as to wealth. density ofpopulatidn.
and the habits and Industrial pursuits Of
the inhabitants. They do not suit US. and

thing ia this task at all calculated 20 in
