FROM THE NEW JERSEY FUE

Strong Testimony against Jacksonism—We have recently heard of several individuals of respectability and influence in society in our own neighborhood, still withdrawing from the Jackson party; but it is seldom we can expect to find a man occupying so prominent a place in that party and in society as Judge Miller, (whose letter announcing his withdrawal from the Jackson party will be found below,) whose sense of duty to his country, to himself, and his friends becomes so powerful as to lead him, in defiance of all consequences boldly to come out with a public renunciation. Judge Miller has stood high in the ranks of the Jackson party in this country; he has been looked upon as a kind of leader, having frequently been called to preside over their public and private meetings as Chairman. He is one of the Judges of our Court of Common Pleas, and we have never heard his character or qualifications as a judge or a citizen impeached in the slightest degree. We have no knowledge of his having been disappointed in any of his expectations from the Jackson party, and as far as we can ascertain, he has been actuated by a pure sense of obligation to his country. This we call "strong testimony against Jacksonism." His address is published by his own request.
