OUR TRIUMPH IN NEW JERSEY

GLORIOUS and overwhelming as have been the
trlumphs OF the fir ends of true repuIJIicansn i'm
rapid succession, from Maine to Georgia. from
none OF them have we derived such deep and sin.
cere Satisfaction as that we experience in contem-
plating the utter rout and prostration of the Jan
issares of Government by the gallant Jersey
Blues The story of their wrongs is familiar to
every true patriot, who has watched with mingled
feelings OF Indignation and shame the disgracefnl
records OF the past The unusiifiabe and autIa-
cous Outrage which was perpeiraed by the hand
OF awlcss and reckless power upon their Stale
sovereignty, is well known, as is also the utter
shameless lndecency and disregard OF even The
appearance Of JUSTICE or the forms of law which
marked the proceedings But monstrous and ini-
1uItous as were the proceedings in concentrating
,ne'r CRIME, there was yet left one step more in
brazen impudence, and that was TO add to their
outrage the insult of intrudng upon the soil of
that State he had contributed so much to dishonor
that miserable party tool, Hugh A. Garland Ckrx
of the House of Representatives
1his was an acme in insolent assurance and
conumeious disregard of shame, which few sun
posed even The Tory party could be guilty Of
Yet so 1t was. And Hugh A. Garland, after hav-
ing stood up in Congress the branded slave of fac
tion, and the polluted agent OF its crimes dared to
harangue the feemen Of New Jersey upon those
very rights and constitutional privileges which he
had been the very means of violating and tramp
ling IN the dust Well and nobly have the lreemen
vi NEW Jersey responded 10 this call Tor the
dicaton OF their self respect. There never could
have been case that called more loudly for the
signal mark Of Reproduction from an insulted PEG.
ple-and never was one more promptly or effec-
lively responded TO. The PEOPLE have swept
the State from Sussex to Cape May, and have
carried every county in which they had candid
ates!
And it is no slight expression of public disap-
probation that each one of the pretenders- the in
truders into Congress against the wishes of the
peope-hhve been condemned by their own
friends and neighbors.
Peter ID. proom-he guilty abettor of perjury
the inst gator of the false affidavits of the clerk
OF Monmouth, has been pronounced guilty, by
the voters Of his own county Somerset While
his colleagues in guilt, Ke Of Salem, Cooper of
Gloucester, Dckerson of Passaic, have all been
declared by their own countless unworthy Of pub
lie confidence. Aud even Ryall,-resdng as he
does in county which never before refused to
worship at the affairs of the false democracy, has
been rebuked even by his own Monmouth
Monmouth the scene of that most villainous, tho
vain attempt, to destroy by perjury the spotess
| fame of Gov. Pennington even Monmouth can
no longer lend her protection and countenance to
the perpetrators of their States degradation, but
has burst her shackes, and stands forth redeemed
and disenlhralled.
| Most heartily do rejoice at this result. We
rejoice that New Jersey has not disappointed the
expectations OF her sister States. We rejoice that
her sons have shown themselves worthy TO be
freemen. We rejoice that Gov. Pennington and
the broad seal of her State sovereignty have been
alike sustained The soil of New Jersey-sain-
ed as it is by the best blood of the revolution
nay the very fields OF Trenton, Princeton and
Monmouth would have disowred the legener-
ate sons of New Jersey, had they failed to have
vindicated thus nobly their rights, and to have
thus spurned, with becoming indignation, that
false g democracy" that dares TO "spurn her broad
seal."-.4IaS.
