New Jersey, in convention assembled. re-
affirns its faith IN the fundamental prin-
ciples of that party, as sxpounded by
Tkc1aAS Jefferson, and which have stood

lie for more than a century.
Many economic doctrines promulgated

oppression
Against this policy consistently en-
(oresd and.~Arged by Democratic repre-
oentatiyes, the Republican party. con-
tgclled by corporations. has for the past
ten years offered constant opposition. It
