Mestrs. J. N. Rltne 4* Co.— Gentlemen: A member
of sny family, having suffered with the Dyspepsia fur
several years, was lately recommended by a friend to
try your Cord al; and lam bspp> to say tint before
using the contents of one bottle she could enjoy her
meals with & good appetite, without feeling the least
inconvenience. i take great pleasure in recommending
It to all who are afflicted.
„ _ „ J» 8 Yost, U. 8. M. E. D, of Pa,
. AROMATIC DIGEftTIVK CORDIAL.—/his excel
lent and agreeable preparation is one of the best means
of improving the appetite, promoting digestion, and
&ivmg siren. tb and tune to the stomaon. whtoh has yet
sen offered to the public.
It is an old Herman receipt, and has been in use for
many years in the.famihos or the manufactureis, where
itnasoroyed an lovnloable reinedy for DYBPFPBIA.
HEARTBURN. FLATULENCE, and CRAMPS IN
THE STOMACH, arising from coin or indigestion. All
perinnshavmg the least tendency to indigestion should
never be without it, as a small wine-glass full, taken'
after meals, wilt exclude tho possibility of contracting
the dyspepsia.
It is oompoeed of fifteen ingredients. Bitters and Aro
matics, and only needs to be tested to be approved and
appreciated. - -
it is a pleasant beverage, and may be used with
safety, pleasure, and advantage by invabds and by
those in health.

It in our good lbrtnno to possess nil entire
Bet of “ Fundi,” a library of common
and sharp wit, oi pon-pictures and lively
pencilllugs, of keen satire and gravo truth, of
stern realities and great fun—a melange, iu
fact, in -which ail the dements are mingled;
even as they are in Life itSelft Thirty-eight
volumes of this remarkable serial are ev'or in
the room where wo write and read, so that,
while wo rigidly adhere to our, long-accustom
ed lemonade, wo can have a sip of Peach,
whenever wo desire, without even in thonght
violating the T—total Plodgo which, aa every
one knows, we took while in long-clothes-and
our nnrso’s arms, considerably before the
period when wo commenced uttering tlio syl
lables “ Jlab —hap,” which proud and loving
parents variously interpret into tho masculine
or feminine nouns —“ Papa ”or “ Mamma.”
Dipping daily, for amusement, into ono or
Other of these numorous volumes of Punch,
wo have been most painfully struck with
the gradual falling off in tho spirit, pictorial
and literary, of tho publication. It was in its
meridian brightness from 1841, when Peel’s
accession to office afforded a great many sub
jects for satire, good-humored or severe, until
tho commencement of 1851, then tho Hunch
back became religiously intolerant, and savage
ly assailed Gardinal Wiseman and his creed,
and its professors. That ingenious attack on
the Homan Catholic religion, continued to
this day with more or less violence, at once
des’royed the character Punch had established
for exercising something like fair play, th. ugh
Its political bias was avowed hrjp favor of the
Whig leaders, calling themselves Liberals, 1
who are awful patriots when out of offico, and
nothing but trimming and jobbing placemen in
It. When - Lord John Russell, whoso family
estates consist of the spoils oi Monasteries,
Abbeys, and Convents—tho residence of the
Eusselis,to this day, is Woburn Abbey—when
this dwarfed politician published a letter to
the then Rishop of Dnrham, Into in 1850,
blackguarding Cardinal Wiseman and de
nouncing tho ceremonies of tho Church ol
Romo ns “the mumiperies of superstition,”
■Punch sided with tho intolerant, and used"
pencil as well as pen to back him up. Punch
did tfiis^—its editor being a Jew, who had been
“ a publican,” (in the brandy-nnd-water sense
of tho word, at a little tavern off the Strand,)
and most of iis'writers and artists having, at
tho latest, not been inside a church since the
christening of their first child. The Roman.
Catholics in Qneen Victoria’s dominions wen
indignant with Punch for his intolerance and
insolence, and tho circulation lost 10,000 a
week, in less than no time—a loss it has never
recovered. Worst of all, young Richard Doyle
—son of Irish Captain Doylo, tho original ca
ricaturist—having a Catholic anger at the at
tacks upon his religion, withdrew from Punch,’
and has never sinco done anything for it..
This was a great loss, for young Doylo had'
rare poetic feeling, and dignified satire itseii.i
by infusing grace and.- beauty into it. His
place lias been almost filled by Leech and'
Tcnniol; hut theso two do not make one
Doyle. This is not tho occasion lor writing
tho history of Punch, and therefore wo shall
no flirther proceed with it than to say that,
since its attack on the Roman Catholics, in
1850-51, Punch has gone down, lt used'to
have a largo circulation in Iroland/wbich lm
mediatt ly -dropped down from- thousands <o
hundreds, and has never risen Irom lthsff’do-:
dine. -
which Punch jfiayed
with respect to Lonis Nttpokon. the present
Emperor of the French, also loosened the
hold it fiad got upon public opinion. Ho was
alternately represented aaa large-nosed mon
ster or a well.looking gentleman, according as
his sayings and doings were supposed to be
hostile or amicable towards England. Ho lias
been portrayed in Punch, In ono year, liy
pencil and pen, as a faithful ally, a political
Robert Maeaire, a liaudsomu fellow, and an
ill-looking hound. Take up any volume of
Punch sinco Louis Napoleon, as President or
Emperor, became supremo ruler of France,
and you pill immediately perceive, by the man
ner in which hts taco and figure are represent
ed, what was tho state of British feeling to
wards or untowards him at tho time. Now
Jehu Bull, a plam fellow in his way, though
with an overpowering organ of Belf-estcem on
that powerfully thick and spacious cranium ol
liis, does not- like inconsistency —least of all,
When it is so notorious as this of Punch.
Blowing hot and cold in adulation or abuse of
Napoleon has not served Punch by any means.
While Douglas Jerrold and Gilbert a-Beckett
were the leading writers in Punch, the quiet
hits at Quean Victoria and her family were
frequent and piquant, without being saucy or
abusive. What capital hits there were at
Prince Albert, as manufacturer of flower-pot
hats for the army, as a Field-Marshal who had
never smelt powder, as Doctor-of-Laws with
out having any claim on tho University except
rank, as fanner in general and cattle-breeder
in particular, what sly pokes in tho ribs at
Queen Victoria, politically, royally, socially,
and personally I There is onu wood cut re
presenting Victoria and her husband with
about a score of children, present and possi
ble, of all ages and sizes, which we really be
lieve would make us smile even on our death
bed. Latterly, however. Punch bos become
too courtly for any such fun as this. It now 1b
oxcrntlatingly genteel—dlko tho town-ladles in
the Vicar of Wakefield—and “can’t a-bear
any thing vulgar.” So, Punch never meddles
with the Queen now, except to pay her a com
pliment.
Moreover, it spares those whom Queen Vic
toria delights to honor. H!b Mnj. sty, ns the
world knows, is very fond of excitement, and
especially tabes delight in patronizing the
popular game of playing-at-soldiers, which has
become the fashion in England sinco tho fool
ish tear of aßrench invasion has been revived.
There was a time when democratic Punch
would have been full of ents and quips at the
Volunteers; whon It would have laughed at
the drillings, marches, and counter-marches
(equalling those of Major Sturgeon in tho
farce) of tho “fat and greasy citizens;” when
it would havo spoken of eacli company as
“tho awkward squad;” when it would lmve
ridiculed tho idea of 18,000 Volunteers in
Hyde Park being assumed, by John Bull, to be
fully a match for Napoleon’s half million of
experienced and eager soldiers. Not so now.
Punch pats the Volunteers on the back; so
warmly, too, that a Government orator, in
tho House of Commons, actually declared that
Punch had earn#d tho gratitude Of his coun
try by not laughing at the Volunteers I
Last of all, when tho National Rifle Associa
tion lately had a week’s shooting for prizes, on
Wimbledon Common, near London, it was de
termined to gratiff Queen Victoria by making
her (literally) “open the hall.” She was to have
the first shot, and soveral hours were consumed
before her arrival, in fixing tho rifle so that a
ball discharged from it must hit tho boll’s eye
in the target. After all, it went in an inch
above tho exact centre. Tho lyric York
Tribune shrewdly asks, “ H the variation of
an inch could not be provided for, where was
the uso in ail tbp elaborate preparation ? Some
surer plan should have boon devised. A far
more consistent and efficacious method would
bavo boon to insert the bullet beforehand, in
the exa t centre, and to relieve the Queen from
■ all responsibility by giving her a, bUMe car
tridge to let off.” Tho fact is, tho dd not
touch tho rifle; sho only pulled a bit ol “ red
tape ” fastened to it. Here is the fullest ac
count ;
" Her Mnj-sty then proceeded to tho tent feeing
the butts. One of Mr Whitworth’s rifles was fix' d
in abiding rest at four hundred yards’ range,
the Queen palled the trlggor by means of a silh
cord handed to her by Mr Wlntworih. The shot
struck the Centro of tho bull's oyo. amidst grant
cheering. Her Mrjesty expressed much gratifi
cation with tho result The meeting was then
declared open. Tt‘o competitors—throe hundred
and sixty in mtmber--woio drawn up on each tide
of tho platform leading to the tent from which her
hWjMty flred.
■ “About fifteen thousand pereona wore supposed
to be present. The common presented tne ap
pearance of h combination of q racecourse and
flower show. with a fair outside the binder..
..‘‘When tne royal party gained the rifle tent, her
MajsMy, advancing to Mr, WMtworth, a»ked him

“ After her Majonty had retired to the royal
imvilion, agontlemsn, who had hurried to the
target, returned with a hastily-made tonoil sketch,
denoting the >xaot position of the ballet In tho
bull’s eye. The sketch was handed by Mr. 8.
Herbert to the Prinoo Conrort, end by him laid
before the Qqeon. H«r Majesty burst tnto a lota

♦hen inspected with great interest by the Prinoo of
Wales and the Prinoess, Alice, and the juvenile
members of the roval-family. Her Majesty ex
pressed a with that the target should bo brought
from the butt for ber inspection, and waited for a
quarter of &n hour in the royal pavilion to Bee it,
Tbo.targefc however, being made of solid iron, re
quires eight men to carry It, and as the fatigue
parlies of tho Guards had left tho ground, her
Majesty’* wish oouid not be complied with. A

had been humbugged; her desire to havo the

photographing its portrait; the gold medal,
prepared in certainty of the result, and
presented to tho Queen “for her excellent
central shot,” which could not have failed ;
and, lastly, tho charge of twenty-five cents for
viewing tho rifle, target,*ond medal, were fair
sobjectß fora little jocosity, and, no doubt, tho
Charivari of Paris will improve upon thorn
amazingly.
Tho Illustrated London News gives an exact
vlew-pl thp Queen’s pulling the string, and
IooCTDg a little alarmed, though safely distant
from the riflo, which was firmly fixed and
fastened, with weights and ropes, on a strong
framework, so as to be immovable. Punch,
published after the mockfiring, has a page-pic
tdre represenring the Queen with a rifle ut her
•shoulder, sighting it properly, and filing of! a
shot liko a real I ’rifleman! It hoe been said,'
“ There is nothing more absurd in the Queen’s
firing a rifle, than there would be in her hus
band's laying tho foundation of a bridge, or
her son’s commencing the formation of a
railroad, by turning the first sod.” The cases
do not run parallel. In tho two last, the in
dividuals, qa well as the public, know that
laying tfio #tono and digging tho sod are hum-,
biigs, of tho make-believe order. But hero,
care was taken, by previous preparation and
practice, that tho ball must hit tho centre;
the Queen pulled tho string, instead of hasd
‘ilng or even touching tho rifle; she evidently
believed that she had hit the mark; arid, to
cany on tho delusion, a gold medal was pre
sented to her/ “ for her excellent central
shot,” said medal having been made weeks
before thq shot was fired, such an arranged
matter was the whole. VTq wonder how the
Queen could let herself bo fooled in this fla
grant manner. ‘
. Calculating on the declining popularity ot
Punch, which a sycophancy to ltoyaliy will
tend toiapreaso, there was published in Lon
don, op fbo 7th instant, the flivt number of
“ The British Lion —a Journal in Jest and iu
Earnest.” It is considerably larger than
Punch, and a third cheaper. Its illustrations
are good—a few aro even very good. It has
tho fault, of being too long, too reasoning, too
didactic in its literary articles. Even iu the
(Jrfit number it makes a mistake. It promisi s,
lor tho following Week, an engraving of “ Uer
Majesty tho Queen firing the First Rifle,”
whereas them was full timo for that design to
have appeared in the Drst number,
It is impossible to judge, from a single num
ber, which Mr. Callender has sent us, what
manner of periodical this rival ot Punch will
lie; but it opens respectably, at least, and will
merit no small praise if it succeed in putting
Punch upon its mettle. In fact, tho decay of’
Punch springs, mainly .from ita having no oppo
sition for oovi 'years. Success frequently
has an enervati g effect, and so it has been
with Punch, which, while it was independent
and manly, was a Power in the State, but now
feebly affects ultra-loyalty, applauding what it
mnst laugh at in its sleeve.

It is a source of great satisfaction to the Demo
cracy of this Btnte to see yon so nobly support
Douglas.
Thero is a perfect flame of enthusiasm in this
State for Douglas; many have forsaken tho Re
publican ranks and stand out boldly on tho mid*
die ground in support of Douglas, fully believing
that the doctrine, whioh he represents 6nd has so
ably defended, presents the only method of colv
log the great question of slavery before the couo*
try.'
Unless the North and South shall agree to banish
this question of slavery from tho hulls of Congress
and remove it to the proper referees—the Intelli
gent settlers in our Territories—no man oan with
propriety prediot a termination of the present na
tional quarrel upon tho subjeot of slavery. Tho
Ropublia&n doctrine of prohibiting slavery in tho
Territories is precisely calculated to engender o
directly opposite and parallel theory among the
Southerners of protecting It in the Territories.
The Kcpubllonn stir of success might (If thero
woro only these two parties) be in the a6oendant
at one time, and tho Sonthorn secession star at
another time, and so it might go on until tho end
of time. And our Senators and Representatives do
nothing but quarrel upon the subjoot of slavery,
whllo the other important interests of the oountry
continually demand their attention.
You may bo surprised to hear that six or eight
young mon in old Dartmouth College have loft the
Republicans and warmly support Douglas, but it is
even so. Thore is not a singlo Democrat who sup*
ports Lincoln. I havo always voted the Republi
can ticket, but I should disregard tho voice of my

Atlantic City, July 25.
Everything seems to be in full tide of success at
this oharmlng bathing resort just now. To see
from three to five thousand persona, dressed in
every variety of bathing.costume, dashing and
ftostiog upon the foaming surf at one time (about
11 o’clock in tho morniog) Is a sight that none
could rogret witnessing.
A great featuro of this place is the almost daily
excursions that come from your city 1 , and they are
this season as a general thing extremely popular
Tho absence of rowdyism, and of half-grown
young fellows fighting (as they have been disgrao
ing Fairmonnt Park lately), has served to make
thorn very agreeable and pleasant to all concerned.
Col. John Brodhead, the efficient President of
the Railroad Company, and so maoh esteemed in
private life, has everything to work like clock
work In regard to every part of the road, hut par
ticularly in regard to the excursion party. It’s no
easy matter to transport over the railroad from
Camden hundreds of human beiogs. men, women,
and ohildren, as many at time* as fifteen hundred)
and no slight responsibility either, and so far the
arrangements have been so perfect, the first aooi
dent has yet to occur.
What do you think, dear Press , of having a steam
passenger rail car running up and this city
every little .while, filled with handsome ladies, and
happy ohildren ? Thoy run from the Surf House
to the inlet in about ten minutes, stopping at all
the hotels; at Col. McKibbin’s, of the United
States, whioh at night, when brilliantly illumi
nated, (with gas made on tho premises.) filled with
the elite of tho country; cultivated ladles, ele
gantly dressed, reminds ono of a scene from an
Eastern tale.
Yesterday your military company, the Zou
aves, were here, and all seemed to havo the
natural hilarity so usual with Frenchmen. Tbry
had fine music, and danced away with their happy
looking wives and sweethearts at snoh a rate as to
drive dull eare and pain from the most afflloted
heart.
I was so fortunate as to see the meteor, and &
more magnifioent wonder is seldom witnessed. Its
dlreotion was from tho west by north, tbenoe
soutbeastwardly. It was larger than the human
head, of intense brillianoy, and seemed to have,
aftorbreaking into fragments of surprising beauty,
an attachment of (say) five feet connected with it.
After gazing. with intense wonder, for some half
minute, it suddouly disappeared, or, I might say,
went out, like stars from a rocket.
The houses are filled mostly, but as many daily
leave there is no difficulty in being stowed away
The bathing, sailing, and fishing can’t be excelled.
Schooners, sloops, and small boats are numerous,
and for a small oharge their orews aro anxious to
take parties either out to sea, or out to the wreck
ing schooner Isadora, where Captain Herbeit,
whose heart seems as large as his body, and also
Capt. Poolo, who, although in staturo, won’t com
pare with tbo formor, but in true, home like gene
rosity is any one’s equal, aro busily engaged, in
good weather, assisted by steam-power, in taking
out quioksilver from the sunken California ship
plying Datchman, about feur miles out. They
havo wilhio n few days reached the prcolous
article, and their energy indicates much future
suocess.
Its a curious sight to see thedivor being lowered
and hoisted to and from tho wreck, enclosed in
copper and guttu perchn. His bands are bat'e, no
thing on them, and ab a protection from sharks has
a large knife strapped to him, to use If necessary.
He says, however, they are oowardly and easily
fr’ghtencd away. They ar# {attracted around
tho sunkon hull, from apart of tho oargo being
ooojposed of hides.
We have concerts her? nightly, and hops, and

Proceedings of the Dougins Conven-
lion, in Trenton,“N. J.
The Douglas and Johnson parly opened tha cam
paign at Trenton, N, 3., on the 25th mat., at the
Tcmporanoo Hall, at an early hoar. Thero wm a
oonalderpblo assemblage gathered togother at the
first note of preparation, and throughout the mom-
IS 8 'Jo I ‘ r * o ®Pper room 0 f the building which
they bad secured Tor the purpose, was three-quar
ters filled The proceedings up to twelve o’clock
were of an informal oharaotcr, but, novorthelew, of
importance in a politioal view. In consequence,
however, of the great i excitement whloh prevailed
l» O J , t 4ho , u r l,^u '<=t town of Trenton, on
•whose old Revolutionary battle-grounds three De
mocratic Riohmonds were oontesiing for the Presi
dential ohair, thero was a continuous ingress and
Ogress from the room of the “ regular-ticket ” men,
aolfoQDStimted scouts, wbo were anxious to pry
into the arrangements, and to oaloulate upon the
strength of the opposing Convention* to bo held
simultaneously with their own.
t There were sgß delegates reported as being in
nttendanoe-.au good men and truo-staunofa sun
porters of the straight Douglas tioket, and opp -aed
to fusion with, or ooneejstone from, anyside
whstever. > For a couple of boars previous to tne
formal opening of the Convention several stirring
speeches were delivered, and strong appeals made
m favor of Douglas and Jnhnaon, the nominees of
one branch .of tbe regular Democratic body: a tide
claimed, also, by their Breokinridge opponents.
The following gentlemen addressed the early
•meeting : Mr. Garret 8. Cannon, of • Bordentown:
Mr. Jacob Vanatta, of Morristown; Mr. Joel-Pan '
kor« Mr. Theodore Riyen, and Harmon Prloe.
Tho business of tho Convention was initiated’
and conducted without any extraneous display’
whatever. No bands of music, no hags, banners
nor devices of any kind either enlivened the pro-*
needing* or adorned the walls of the buildingin-!
side or out ; but nothing was, in fact, required from;
such aids, For the Convention, from its opening toi
its close, was animated with the greatest enthusi
asm and tho greatest harmony. Tha next point
maintained by the speakers and applauded by
their hearers was that there should bi no fusion
with their opponents of either wing at the ex-i
pense of the slightest principle.
.. At twelve o’efrek preoisely Mr. Cannon vacated'
tho chair, which ho ccoupied as President of tha!
initiatory proceedings, and a regular President!
bwng been unanimously adopted in tho person of,
the Ron. George F. Ford, ex-Governor of thei
State and lately delegate to Charleston, and pro-]
ceedings of the Convention having been at oncei
proceeded with, the Convention closed its sitting at f
twenty minutes to twoo’elook, adjourning sinedfr,
having adopted a thorough Douglas tioket on thei
Baltimore platform, and having effected tho whole
of the business for which it had met, in a seemingly'
most satisfactory manner. '
AFTRRSOON SESBION.
Mr. Jaoob Van&tta, in his capacity as a member
of the National Democratic Committee of New
eey, said that in view of Reaction of seme who 1
claimed to belong to.the Democratic party, and'
who had met in* Convcmjoo • not to nominate rini
electoral ticket; to' enppdri the regular candidate, j
bat a tieket calculated to defeatihe regular Demo
cratic candidate and fo dfvlde the party, they had*
been compelled* to-call the friends of the Demo-'
oratic party toeether—men who would support the'
regular ticket straight through, and nothing else. •
They wore now assembled for that purpose, and, aa
the hour had arrived for organicing the Ccnven-i
tion, he now left the matter in their hands. '
Mr. Cannon was proposed as president of the!
Convention, but he deolined and named
Hon. Georgo F. Ford, ex. Governor of tho State,;
and late delegate to Charleston, who waa appoint-*
cd with acclamation.
Mr. Ford, having accepted the office, was led to'
the chair on the pUtform. !
The President then rose, and returned thanks fer
tile honor conferred upon him in being called upon’
topresido over a Pim'-cratic Convention, whose*
object was to keep the Democratic party pure and*
intact from those divisions which threatened it.!
His whole heart was in the good work they had
undertaken, and he would be with them in their!
efforts to the end- JCheerg h _
The Pmidwit then announced that fheifTTratf
4o*y waa the appointment of secretaries. BobortT
Qryen was unanimously appointed the.

rented as a good, reliable Democrat, was appointed
assistant secretary. . ;
A motion was then put and unanimously adopt-!
*d, that tho counties of the 8t»to bo called in;

of one person from each oounty to uot as vice pre

On the motion of Mr. Vanatta, it was resolve!
that tho rules of the last Convention be the rules of
this Convention till o*herwlfo orderod. i
Qn the motion of Mr. Charles Mecke. of Burling-;
ton, it was resolved that tbe Convention proofed
to ©loot V/»natorial elfotors, nnd that after the r©2
presentativesnf eaoh countyhad chosen their Sena
torial electors, each eleotor be nominated as the
counties be callrd, j
Ten miru’es were allowed io tho counties io

this time tbe secretary celled the count'ea over,'
when the following were unanimously nominated as

5 Theodoro Runyon, of Es*ex.
The eleotion of these parties was hailed by tho
meetiDgwith enthusiastic oheers.
Mr. Win. Babbitt moved the following resolu*
tiono:
Resolved* That it is necessary, for tho purposes
of the present political campaign in which we are
abont to engage in New Jersey, that the regular
Democratic party should have a State Committee,
constituted of seven person*, who, in communicß?
tion with the inomber of the National DemccrUia
Executive Committee for New Jersey (Jacob
Vanatta), ahull have power to act in all matters
which, in their opinion, may be necessary or ad
visable towards promoting the objects of the cam
paign.
Resolved , That the president of the Convention
har* power to appoint said committee. ,
The motion was pnt from tho chair, and unanD
monsly adopted, and the following electors were
appointed: R. M. Prico, Thomas S Allison,
Adolph ShnJk, Garrett S. Cannon, Ingham Car
roll. Thomas N. M. Carter, Nathan T. Stratton.
Mr. William Babbitt then said that, in view of
the great importance that In tbo ooming Presiden
tial canvas? would be attaobed to the party to
which they belonged, especially to thoso whom they
put forward an tho representatives of the party iu
the State of New Jersey, he moved that the coun
ties be called by the differentebairmen as appoint
ed in oanous, and that they officially report to the
Convention the names of tho representatives and
delegates from each county, and that these gentle
men, as their names be called, stand forward.
Mr. Vanatta objected. He said that the only
object intonded by the morion had already been
effected, aa the chairman of counties had already
reported the number of delegates
Mr Babbitt—And these names ?
Mr. Vanatta—Yes; and so tho object you de
sired has already been obtained.
Mr. Babbitt then withdrew his reso’ation.
Mr. Hancock renewed tho motion of Mr. Bab
bitt that the names of the delegates and other of
ficers chosen by the Convention bo called anew,
and that they stand forward as each name is
oalled.
Cries followed— <£ Adjourn till five o’olook.”
Several voices—“ No.” “No adjournment,” and
obeers
A motion was then made to lay Mr. Hanoook’s
motion on tho tablo.
Tho question was put by the president accord
ingly, and negatived.
The original motion was not passed in conse
quence of the following resolutions having been at
tnis stngo of tho proceedings submitted to the Con
vention by the Committee on Resolutions:
Whereat, The many and glorious victories here
tofore achieved by the Democratic party havo been
the rosults of its devotion to constitutional Demo
cratic principles, and ita rigid adborenco to the ex
clusive support of the regular nominees of the
party, regordless of personal esteem or dislike;
and whereas, the Democratic National Convention,
lately held at Charleston, did adopt the same plat
form of principles iu respect to the paramount
questions of tho day upon which tho National De
mocratic party of the Union has stood during tbo
past twelve years, and wbi*h the Democratic party
of Now Jersey in eight different htate Conven
tions. during the ssmo period, has expressly and
unanimously affirmed and adopted; and wheron? at
an adjourned meeting of tho Charleston Conven
tion, held in Baltimore, in June last, it did nomi
nate, upon that long-tried and of • -ppro^ ed
platform, os tho candidates ot the Na
tional Democratic party, for President) Stephen A.
Douglas, of Illinois, ani-llor/obel ». Johnson, of
Georgia, for Vioo Piosldrot of tho United States;
and whereas we have fail'd to dipooyer any suffi
cient reason for departing f’om the long-feitled
usages of the Democrats party—for abandoning,
r ver-ing, or changing tho principles we have so
long professed and so often solemnly asserted •
therefore, t , 4 .
Jtcso'aed. That we again aocept and endorss tho
platform of principles adopt*d by tbo regular De
mocratic Convention at Charleston, including tte
additional resolution unanimously adopted at Bal
timore; and we also aeoept and ratify the nomina
tion of Stephen A. Douglas for President and Her
eotul V. Johnson for Vice Provident, as tho candi
dates of the National Democratic party for those
offices, and wo hereby instruct tho electors nomi
nated by this Convention, if elected, to c»*t tho
seven electoral votes of thi3 State for tho candi
dates above named.
Revolved, That, having taken our stand in favor
of Douglas and Johnson, the regular nominees of
the Democratic party, in ordor to maintain and
vindicate tho groat principle that citizens of the
United States, in every community. hav«i a right to
form their domcsric institutions in their own way—

Three cheers were called for on the conclusion of
tho reading of this .resolution, which ‘were given
moat followed by three more, in which the

Several calls were made for favorite '-r’.
while other calls demanded an adjouramtiii* till s

as the determination of the msjirity was to com

Mr. James M. Pcorell then rose and aaid that he
folly concurred with tho resolution joat adopted.
The condemnation there expressed as to the con

(Mr. Buchanan) bad pursued Stephen A. Dougins
tor the past two or three years with merciless hos
tility. fie had hunted him with Danlte bands in
the days of the Kansas troubles, and be had fol
lowed hia hatred up, sa was seen in what took
Slacem Charleston and Baltimore, when he let out
ehu Yancey npon him to disturb the regular pro*
cecdings at those Conventions. This Yaneey would
lead tho country into revolution if he had but nur
own way. fie waalike Phaeton, wboaspired to guide
the ohanot of the Sun and, like him. be would
run tho term into the ditch if ho had the ohance of
getting the reins for a while. Yancey has thoroughly
d isgraced himself at Charleston and Baltimore, and
there was no fear of his ever being permitted
to do other harm. Under these circumstances
It was their duty to adhere unshrinkingly to
the gallant Senator from Illinois. [Vehement
cheers.] It was their duty to present aim boldly
before the people of New Jersey, and to rebuke any
ioterference with the course they should adopt.
They were a Convention of the true Democratic
party, and with Douglas nnd Johnson on their State

whatever that, In November next, Stephen A Dou

voting as a unit for him. [Cneere j
