NINELAND, y. j. May 9TH, $50.

Mr. Edu0r.-I am spending few day,
in the land Of grapes. pearS and pedches
where they grow annually in great album
dance. The season i said TO be Two weeks
later than any former year since Vineland
was settled fourteen years ago MANY
fruit trees are now in blossom and the
farmers are busy planting their corn and
pOtatoe fields.
The families who came here to tc0rk. are
doing lceU. Indeed they are prosperng.
Those who came here expecting to get
rich without labor, are disappointed and
many OF them are anxious to go somewhere
else. Families are constantly coming here,
from different sections of the country.
The first settlement was made in this
town fourteen years ago. The population
now, is / POO. The people here, have bat
little of intemperance. By an almost I'M
animous vote of the town the sale Of liq-
uor has been prohibited. and nearly all the
people are strictly temperate
As large majority of the people are
from New England. schools and churches
are as numerous as in any New England
village of this size. The town is hand
somely laid out, and in a few years it will
be very inviting. The people have direct
railroad communication with Philadelphia
and New York and in these two large cit
les they market the most of their fruit.
The only thing that has marred the fair
fame of this new and beautiful town. is the
sad tragedy that occurred in March last,
of which you were apprised at the time.
C. X. Sands Esq, the original proprie-
tor of the town. after suffering much in his
business. reputation and family, by repeat
ed editorials in one Of the village papers,
went into the editors office at midday and
shot the editor in his head. The ball is
there now. and hopes are entertained of
his recovery, notwithstanding it was
thought for some weeks that he could not
possibly live.

The fact that The name OF Gen. Conner
Ua- brought forward at about the same
time by The leading republican, papers in
the state is hardly sufficient ground tor
sU>pccting that there was plot to fore
stall public sentiment. and force upon the
republicans a candidate whom they do not
want.

generally Of that class-glanced over the
State to see who would b. the most avail
able candidate. Possibly these ra>caly
fellows opened correspondence upon the
subject. compared notes, and came to an
agreement There i no good reason to
suspect that the men who have brought
forward Gen. ConLor have a personal OBJ
iect in view; they want the best man, and
believing Gen. Connor to be that man.
they represent him 10 the republicans OF
the state for their consideration. If they
do not prefer him to any other candidate
named. he will not be nominated.
1t i proper to consider carefully the
availability OF the several persons named
a candidates for Governor. but it seems
TO u to suspect the motives of those who
name candidates. Suspicion l. rarely
worthy of commentator. It : a quality
that grows with what il feeds on. and at
last i very liable TO cause constant jeal-
ousy and an unhappy state Of mind.
Who cannot recall persons who are su-
picious OF everybody: They have 10 con-
tdence in any man. The republican party
has suffered seriously from suspicious.
Leading men, instead OF working together
fer the good of the party, have too often
had 80 little confidence in the unseltish
ness of each other in political affairs, that
they have quite frequently dealt their
heaviest blows at each other instead of re-
serving their strength for the common en-
