mUnso ratification meeting was heldln
NoEuk, the home Of Judge Tecse.
The meeting WIS addressed first by
the pnfly nominee. From the very
mcngrr report Of Judge Tcese's re-.
marks, We make the following eX-
tract
The times are ripe for u change.
The republicans have had roIl'r"l oi
the government ten years, ana lho
people look with apprehension nj the
condition of affair ~ the south. Eve
nv wear lust before election, troops are
sent into the south. Judge Tecse then
referred 20 the tendency of centrnllha-
ton in the government, and The pas
sage of laws To muZllc the press, ana
said that the result Of n party's being
in power u long time was the forna-
ton of rings-hc did not use The word
i'm an offensive Sense--but there was n
ring i'm this district, and although the
men who composed II were high-mind-
ed, honorable men, they meant to Keep
in power as long ms they could, but the
people meant to have a chance.
This extract IL from the Newark daily
| Advertiser, Il radical sheet, and one
not disposed, like the whole batch OF
them, to do justice to political oppo-
nent.
Judge Teese was speaker ofthe house
of representatives of New Jersey In
1861, and in that capacity it devolved
upon him to deliver an address of well
come to Mr.. Lincoln, who was the
guest of the state while on his way to
! Washington to be in%augurated. In his
address Judge Teese admonished the
president elect of the heavy RESPONSE
bility that devolved upon him, and
urged him in most eloquent terms to
do nothing that would bring the hor-
rors of war upon the land. The addres,
he deliy cred then, il read how, would
read like the utteranCes Ola prophet.
He portrayed before Mr.. Lincoln, with
a statesman's ken, what would he the
ultimate effect upon tie cause ofcivi!
liberty of an endoavor ON his part 10
reduce the southern states to subjuga-
ton. The result has more than justi-
fled all the predictions made by Judge
Teese in his prophetic speech.
That such men as Judge Teese
should be called upon by the democrh-
cy to come forward and bear ita stand-
ard in the present emergency, is the
most convincing evidence that that
party at the north is alive to the dan
gers that surround the American peo-
pie, and that ii realizes the necessity
of putting forward its purest and ablest
men TO a V the Liberties of the coun-
Try from total wreck. From many
years intimate personal acquaintance
with Judge Teese, We are justified in
saying that he is such II man NJ any
lover of his country might clasp cor
daily by the hand and sincerely con-
graduate him upon the almost GER
tainty of his occupying II seat in the
next congress.
The meeting was addressed by a
large number Of distinguished demo-
cratic speakers. Among the number
was Hon. George G. Ferry, eN-mayol
of Orange. From his remarks we en-
tract thofollawing, ~ showing exactly
hlow the desolation of the south is
affecting the manufacturing districts
of the north:
The laws of political economy are
like those of nature. The southern
| states under the rule of the administra-
ton are so severely taxed that they are
unable to do anything Int pay their
taxes. They have consented TO 90
hatless and shoeless to do il. Time
was when the south bought corn and
bacon of the west, and also took out OF
this city more than one hundred mil
lion dollars worth of the labor of your
hands. Now the west has no market
for its corn and bacon, and they are
not able to purchase rs in former years,
and the south is not able TO purchase at
all. The republican party has kept
you idle when you ought to be work
ing all the time.
There have been times when
you, workingmen, had to go home
and look your starving wives and chill
dren IN the face, and know that you
had nothing to give them. When
there is work why il not the season IA
long as il was before the war. Be
cause the south has no money To
spend il has 10 raise millions of
money Ia go into the pockets of dis
honest men, and they have not the
| wherewith 10 purchase the fruits of
your labor. This state of things will
last ms long ns the iron heel of the re-
publican party is kept on the neck Of
the south. The times will get better
when We have an honest administra-
ton, aud not till then. And the way
to get il is to send men to congress who
will not obey the behesi of party, but
will 10 right because it Is right.
