NEW JERSEY ELECTION.

i
day. The main contest was about the candidate
for Congress: there being full Jacksonian Re-
publican: and full Adams ticket: besides middle
ticket made up of men of both parties. The sdvo-
Gates OF Mr. "A put forth their whole strengths their
exertions throughout the State for considerable
time previous, were unremitted. Runners were kept
loot: hand bills circulated meetings held, and all
the machinery of the party put in motion. Many
hard stories were told, and many hard names used
| by them, in their zeal TO carry the point The
whole power OF the press, with single exception,
was array ed on their side, neutrazed: & we had
10 contend against all these odds. Two other
ses did us injury: one was The middle ticket, which
had few active partzans, and took number OF
our votes: s. the other was a mistaken idea that
the present election had no bearing on the PTesi-
dency: that the election of that officer could never
go to Congress again, and that 1t was therefore OF
| small consequence whether Jacksonians or others
were elected In Short il was not Presidential
election, and that is the upon which, alone,
every Jackson vote can be polled: that ques-
| ton in 1928 we shall give majority for Jackson.
But the election is over. Politics should never
make personal enemes we can oppose each other
In political questions without quarrelling: and we
may as well meet, and abide, the result in a good
| humor, as not.
THE ELECTION.
| REPoRTs.-In ESSer, the Adams Congresssio-
nal ticket lll7 ahead: township TO be heard
from IL .aEddieser, the Adams ticket has re-
ported majority In Somerset, the In
Bergen, Susser, Warren, Hunterdon, and
Monmouth, there are Jackson msorties, but we
have no complete returns The lower counties
main uncertain. From all that learn,
however, there appears to be probability that the
friends OF Jackson have lost the election through
a false dependence their strength.
The all-absorbmg question of whether the Ad-
misration shall be pulled down supported, has
/ been satisfactorily settled m this State The
Sampson of Opposition has been shorn of his locks,
and has become weak other men. The election
! for members of Congress has resulted 10 the com
plete triumph of the whole of the administr alton
ticket in New Jersey, by a majority of Two or
three thousand votes; and in both branches OF the
Legislature there will be decided maorities in ia
vor of the administration. The returns are not
complete from all the countless but the general result
is, beyond all controversy correct. The opposi
ton leaders talk strongly OF renewing the contest,
and threaten what they will do two years hence in
the election for electors, if the people pM only
permit them But after their late unsuccessful
effort, it is hardly probable hey will experience
speedy resurrection OF strength, unless the over
whelnng majority now obtained shall lull us into
apathy and repose. New Jersey will hardly now
be ranked among the Opposition States.
The election in New Jersey tor members OF
/ Congress, we have already stated, has resulted in
favor of the administration ticket by large inajo-
rity. We have official returns; but from pri-
vate sources entitled To credit, learn that the
majority in Cape May is computed at $50; in
/ Cumberland at $50; and Salem at 200; in Glou-
about 200; in Burlington, from seven out OF
twelve townships, the majority is AGO. and will be
increased to or 700; in Somerset there is small
majority; In Middlesex majority of 900; in six
out OF twelve townships OF Essex, there is ma
| jory Of ,ll7 which will be increased by subse-
quent returns; in Bergen, the returns from four
townships give US 81 majority, the remainder
doubtful on either side. From Morris nothing is
heard certainly, though we are assured there is a
majority Tor the administration ticket. From Sus-
sex, Warren, and Monmouth, there are no returns
but 1t is supposed they, together, will give a
majority oil 700No 1000 for the jackson ticket
The returns from Hunterdon are also imperfect
owing TO the storm, the three lower townships
gave zoo majority for the administration, and AM
well, with two other upper townships, gave 226
for the jackson ticket, and four townships TO hear
from. The probability is, that the latter ticket
Will have majority in Hunterdon OF from $50 10
500 votes. Hence ii appears that there are ma
jorities for the administration ticket, in nine of the
fourteen counties of the state and perhaps in one
other Trenton True inner

Thompson, and u. Cleveland-The returns from

ELECTION RETURNs.-We are indebted TO
the polieness of our numerous correspondents in
the interior Tor returns from forty five counties, as
Will be seen in our subsequent columns. The Lee
sIslative returns as far received shew a consi
derabe gain on the side of the friends of the pre-
sent state administration. General Clark has been
lett out as Senator in the county OF Baldwin. We
regret to learn from our correspondent in Mledge-
VILE, that MIR. Cuthbert has lost his election as
member OF Congress from the sixth district by
majority OF four hundred and thirty votes. Tom.
linson Fort, is of course elected to that Office
From calculation which is believed to be ac.
curate, the gain on the side Of The administration
OF Governor Troup is in the Senate twelve and in
the House eight, being in joint BALLOT, fWenty
over the last year. Georgian.
