BAD TEAoH1Na. The speooh of Fred.

BAD TRACKING. The speech OF Fred.
douglass, who presides over the Colored
National Convention at New Orleans. an.
noances, among other things, that the
colored men are more indebted to the
Federal Government than to the States
Tor what rights they have, aud hence
ought to supportit. He seemed to think
the party led by TrumbulI and Schurz
did not deserve confidence because they
favored State rights. At the same time.
though he vouohsafed to consider Gen.
Grant an honorable man, and one for
wnom ne expected to vote, he thought
Cnarles sumner was O man OF whose feet
Grant might learn wisdom. Without
discussing with the speaker the compa-
rative merits Of the two men, we may be
permitted to refer to his idea of there
Delng no other government but the Fe-
deral Government, and tho odium he
you'd attach to Messrs. Trumbull and
Sohurz for presuming to suppose that
state rights can coexist with Federal au-
thorIty, as illustrative of the incapacity
OF minds not enlightened in political
systems to comprehend the true princi-
pies OF our Government.
The uneducated men of other races
seem incapable of discriminating be-
tween complex and refined organiza-
tion, one which is more SO than any
other Government ever formed; Fede-
ral Government made by the States,
OF which the States are the constituents:
Government of limitations, in which
the line OF partition between its func-
tions and those of the States is legibly
drawn. and simple, absolute. central
lied power. The view taken by Dou-
glass may be very convenient one for
the political party with which he is acting,
but it is to be regretted if the new vot-
ing element shall adopt the same easy
way OF understanding the United States
Constitution, and shall make their inter-
probation of it the law of the land. 1t it
is simple daspotism only that is want
ed, Douglass teaching is well enough

GEN. LoNasTREEr.-It is matter of
sorrow to the Southern people to see q
man, born and raised in the South, who
won so much distinction during the late
war as an officer in the Confederate army.
turn against those for whose interests he
fought so long and ably, when they are
being oppressed by Radical tyranny. In
o late letter. Gen. Longstreet uses the
following language: 81 am satisfied that
successful reconstruction is due to the
strong hand of the present Administra-
tion; and all things considered, am
constrained to say that I think the peo-
pie owe it to themselves and to the Pre-
sident to return him to the Office that he
has filled 80 well and with such entire
good faith"
This endorsement Of q man who has
stopped at nothing to oppress the white
people of the Soulh, by whose instrus
mentality the State of South Carolina
has been made the Poland of America.
and who seems to be daily concocting
new measures OF tyranny, is enough to
blot ont from the Southern heart every
particle OF the respect once held for
Gen. Longstreet.

NEW-JERSEY.
THE CONGRESS DISTRICTS.


Owing to the changes by the new appOr-
tonment the Congress elections NewJersey this year
will be Of unusual interest and uncertainty.
THE CAMDEN OR FIRST DISTRICT
In this district, which is the only one which
remains unchanged there is Istrong Republican ma
orty Hazelton who is for reelection. receiving 24o
majority The Liberals have nominated the Rev. Oscar
A. Cute an able and highly respected gentleman, but
there seems TO be little hope Of his election.
THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Although this district was carried by Samuel
c. Forker Democrat at the last election by small ma
torty the removal of Monmouth County to the lid Dis
tric renders II doubtful ground with chances in favor
of the Administration party Mr. FOrker has given great
satisfaction his constituents and the Liberals are max
ing strenuous efforts 20 reflect him. His majority be-
fore was AT. The Liberal Republican element y Fery
strong in Mercer County and may prove strong enough
20 insure victory. Mr. Forkers opponent Is Samuel C.
Dobbns very respectable gentleman but not man
who would make much Of figure as legislator
TIE THIRD DISTRICT.
This comprises the counties Of Monmouth
Middlesex and Union, and va. is thought be carried
by the Liberals. The opposing candidates are John H.
Patterson Q4ib), and Amos Clark, Jr. ADM
THE FOURTH DISTRICT.
This is strongly Liberal, the counties which
compose i-somerset Hunterdon, Warren, and Sussex
having in 1868 given an aggregate Democratic majority
OF 1865 Both candidates-Robert Hamilton Ub.), and
Frederick A. Potts-are new men.
THE FIFTH DISTRICT,
This is very doubtful district, comprising
orris Passaic and Bergen, which gave aggregate
majority In 1868 Of 81 Rep and In 1871 Of 53 Dem. The
candidates are Abram b. Woodruff Hib), aud william
Walter Phelps (Adm.)-both good men.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
The contest in this district, which comprises
Essex County has been very warm one and the result
is very doubtful, depending largely upon the German
vote Of Newark. The Liberals have nominated and
vigorously sustained the Hon. John NJ Randall and the
Administratlonists have nominated ex-Gov Marcus L.
Ward In 1868 the county gave Republican majority OF
liza and IN 1871 the Democrats carried II by tls.
