Thus far, pessrs. Editors, Il can Be bu.
plain 10 any sensible mind, 4 what / have
stated is correct. and I don't fhink congrorer-
sion can be mace that the county e0nven-
tioEs when Il frss met had the Interest 81 he
reform policy Of Gov. Hamilton taorourhlv A
heaFlv-that lhe gentlemen composing he iiE.
fersat delegations, gentlemen elected BY that
body, were and are true and earnest REFORM
ers; such being the ease, we win now review
some Of the acts d this same county conyen-
ton at is adjourned and FINAL meeting on the
9Th instant, and contrast them with fhose of
rs former meeting. The legislative ticket. we
admit is comprised Of gentlemen Of prnnonn-
eed ability, and lis said BY some to be one Of
strength, and II Is thought by Others to be q
weak one. Now, before we give orr opinion.
we win copy Q resolution offered, laiser the
nominations were made, and negatived
s.Be u resolved, That the nominees Of this
convention 10 the Senate and House Of Dele
gates be and hereby instructed, II elected, 10
support all Of Gov. Hamilton's reform meas
ures in the interest Of economy Of the State
Government and In the conduct Of the Board
Of Public Works.
Now, we give as our candid opinion. that.
had this resolution been acted upon fAv0rably.
the ticket would hare been one Of such strength
rs would ensure probable victory. But, a. it
now stands, the earnest friends Of the policy
Ofresrenchmentand reform naturally mistr,st.
and unless such friends are assured that the
course Of the gentlemen composing the legisla-
tive tirket viii be, II elected, in thorough
sympkthy and accord with the reform policy
Of Gov. Hamilton, Il ceald not be reasonably
expected thar more than q luke-wafm, If sup
port NJ all, would be given by such aforesaid
friends Of rearenchment and reform. 20 use the
language ofsuch m eminent man as Judge VIM.
NJ. Aerrick 'sThaa In politics az well az In re-
ligion the blood Of the martyrs Is the seed Of
the church." ssMen must be willing to sacri-
fee themselves IL necessary" parties can
not command our allegiance In the face Of bro
ken pledges" ssTen thousand times better
that the party sink, lift Is content 70 endure
corruption, Is shown IN the management Of
our State Affairs by the pressntruling powers"
Whilst the foregoing quotations may not be
applicable 10 our legislative ticket, ID would
be wise, we think, 90 take warning In time
Cor the friends Di good and economical govern
ment are in earnest, and will leave no stone
uniurned 70 oust from power those who have
proven traitors 70 the eovenant theg made 10
the people two years ago. Therefore, IL would
DC well tor our ieBtstauVe ucket 20 denne itS
position in regard 20 the policy Of the State,
or else take the cons quences. The tax-pay-
Ing portion 0f onF community earnestly desire
economy In the management ofouT state Gov
eminent. and wherein lie the interest Of the
tax-Enyef, tlere also Iiea thaG OF the poor In
borer. We, Who acknowledge ourselves a
mere ''hguFe-head," believe Il would he wise.
and We siacerely trust for the sake Of unanim-
ity Of action, for IN that only lies success that
the policy Of orr state affairs be fully discus
ed BY our legislative nominees during the
coming Fall campaign, and that they take 9
fFm stand on The side OF Gov Hamilton and
honest government.
Trusting that our little article may receive
q fair and impartial consideration, we are,
