From the Burlington On. ]. Enterpri-'
New Jersey for Blaine.
J. SWIFT ROWE. seerstar,
AuGpsta, April q. 1870.

The voice Of the people Of New Jersey
is unmistak ably for James &. Blaine. Not
only by the common speech Of the people
Of the State. but at the delegate elections,
and yesterday bv their representatives
in the State Convention. the people de-
clared their wish and preference for Mr..
Blaine in the most emphatic manner This
should be the final and conclusive test in
the matter for the leaders and party press.
and from this day on to that. when in
National Convention assembled, the party
at large selects its standard bearer, the re-
publicans of New Jersey should be unit
in their efforts TO secure the nomination Of
James g. Blaine. In the proceedings of
the Convention yesterday. his name was
potent in It's influence. and the response
came in stirring and prolonged cheers
when brought before the body. Here and
there were men of earnest. honest con-
victions that the party would be best
served by Gen. Grant or Secretary Sher-
man. or Hon. +. B. Washburne, or Sena-
tor Edmunds. but they were few and their
words were lost in the fuller. stronger
and all but unanimous voice of the hun
dreds who composed the body, and the
other hundreds. who filled the galleries,
the stage and the Hobbies.
-Four years ago New Jersey went into
the National convention, divided in its
councils and its strength FILTERED away
upon individual preferences This time
she will 60 rs unit, not because she has
instructed her delegates to that effect, but
because they are in perfect sympathy with
the strong and enthusiastic sentiment of
her people for the man whose keen sa-
gacity pierced the thin disguise of treason
and single handed and alone tore aside
the mask. exposing TO the country its in
sidious and fatal designs. From that me-
morable day in 1876. when Mr. Blaine
compelled the South, through its repre-
sentatives. to avow its reasonable pur-
poses. he has shown them no respite. and
through all their dark and criminal ways
has pursued them with the thunders of his
eloquence. the convincing power Of his
logic. and the keen shafts of his polished
invective and In the contest he has never
failed to bring them to bay. Again and
again has he proved himself great and
capable leader. and the record OF the past
four years has but decpened the enthusi-
asm Of the republicans of New Jersey for
Names great statesman. They exult in
the hope that he may become the standard
bearer Of the party in the nation. and al
ready they are girding their loins for the
battle. eager for the strife. believing that
the fight will be half won when the roll
Of States at Chicago shall announce to
the country the name Of James c. Blaine,
as the republican nominee for President

None more brave on the coast than he;
He owns q cottage and fishing smack
As snug as ever need be.
And. what is truer than could wish.
Fisherman John loves me.

With smiling lips and eager eyes
Tie comes to WOO me-; in every way
That a man may try he tries
To win me; but that he can never do
Though he WOO me till he dies

lie owns not cottage nor fishing smack,
But winning voice and smile are his,
And manly grace. Alack
II will not break my heart to tell
That love Fisherman Jack.
He loves not me; but every nizht
lie sits at tho feet OF Kate Mahon;
Never heart has she for him
For she loves Fisherman John,
Who cares no more for love OF hers
Than tho sea he sails upon.
Often we wonder. do Kate and l.
That fate should cross us so cruelty.
We think OF the lovers we do not love,
And dream Of what life would be,
II onlv Fisherman John loved her.
And Fisherman Jack loved me.
