We clip the following from the Public Ledger.

Nrw JrRsEY ELEcTIoN.-C Contrary to custom for
the last five six years, the Democrats in New Jer
sey, at the recent election, appear to have made q
clean sweep carrying all their members Of Congress
and majority in both branches of the Legislature
Al least, such the report handed us last evening
The following returns Of all the counties OF the State
show the election Of ~ Democrats in Council and
Wings; TO the Assembly sc Democrats TO % Wings,
making majority on JOINT ballot 20, thus insurng
the election of Democrat for Governor, and all the
S Spts nnd S9an!s appointments to the same party
calling Of Convention TO amend the Constitution, or
more properly speaking, to form Constitution as
the State is at the present time without instrument
that can properly be so designated.
The New York American (black Dartmoor
FederalisD says;
New Jersey, which, during years Of detection IN
other States, has always been true TO her ancient
fame and the Wing cause has now, when other States
are coming up to the rescue, swung from her moor
ngs and gone for Locofocosm.
The result is sufficiently known 10 make II sure
that the Locofocos will have len counties out Of the
son, Bergen, Passac, Morris, IMddlesex, Hunter
don, Sussex, Warren, Atlantic, Monmouth
The Wings have only carried Essex and Somerset,
and will carry Mercer, Burlington, Gloucester and
Cape May. Salem and Cumberland are uncertain.
The Locofocos, therefore, will have the Legisla-
ture, and equentiy the Governor, who is chosen
by the Legislature.
Next comes the Philadelphia Spirit of the
Times, spirited Democratic paper:

THE TARIFF.

II makes great deal of matter wheth.
er 2Oor 100 per cent duty be, imposed on
foreign article. If 100 per cent is &C.
tuaIiy imposed on cotton goods brought
from England, the value of the cotton goods
manufactured at home rises in like proper
ton. The tax then, over and above 80
percent would be a tax imposed on the
people without cause, TO the.sole benefit OF
the domestic manufacturer. The domes-
tic manufacturer may sell for the same
prices, after the imposition of tariff on
foreign manufactures, as before, aud still
the people will pay the full amount Of tax
on foreign goods, by buying domestic
goods. The supply and demand always
govern the price in market. If we pay
for domestic manufactures, the same price
AFTER as before tariff, it is because the
supply of domestic goods is but just ade.
quate to the demand The domestic man
ufacturer would sell for less however, it
the supply was increased,by foreign com.
petition. But if the tariff presents this
competition, it prevents the reduction in
price. This reduction in price, occasions
us to say that home manufacturers-tho'

present high tariff, are higher than they
would have been if this tariff had not been

yrKsgUR1 AND CANTON RAIL
ROAD.

hOA ~.
In our last we called he attention Of
The citizens of the Inferior TO The Impor
lance Of an extension of the Vicks'urg
Rail Road t. this pace. We now call up
on the citizens of Vlcksburg TO ponder up
on the importance OF The contemplated
worl, 70 them. We would premise that
the peo,e Of this county are n'U really
in earnest; they are not influenced by an
inflated zeal, fpr "spleni lid" speculation,
that will pass away like the chimerIcaI eb-
Millions Of former times. The views Of
or citizens, are the result of the "second
sober III ,ught," based upon cool and clear
calculations of interest AMI utility. They
are now determined that the Road shall lie
built. If the Road is an object Of vast
importance TO Madison, and the country
east of us, it is equally as important to the
citizens of Vlck,burg.
From the best information we can get,
we believe that the eXtens on OF theVicks-
blrr Road to Canton, woull Immediately
increase the transportation Of Cotton on
that Road 5000 bales. The business
men Of Vicksburg are more capable OF es-
tim ltIng the Importance Of trade conse-
quent upon such accession 10 their exports
than we are. 1t is bound 10 be very great.
We are not enough familiar with mercan-
tile operations, to estimate precisely the
amount Of trade that would result toVicks-
barg from it; but some idea of the magni-
lule of the business of this country, as
connected with Rail Road to this place,
may be inferred from the Daggmg, Rope,
Sugar, Coffee, Iron and Sal, that are re-
quired for all that country extending from
Livingston, in this county, 70 Louisville,
in Winston, lying between Pearl river and
Big Black. Let this 25 miles of Road be
made, and The business Of Vicksourg is at
once increased p per cent, and that too
from a portion of country that is forever
cut off from her unless it be done. Then
will not the citizens of Vicksburg co-ope-
rate with their country friends, and aid
them in performing a work so pregnant
with g eat Icsults; work that will enhance
the value OF their property, and extend
andmost fertile portion Of Mississippi. Then
let them meet US in a spirit of liberaIity,
ard VIC predict that the Road will be
made. Our merchants and planters are
anxious, yea Jealous to embark in it. Il is
fortunately simply a question OF dollars
and cents, it is not imbued with, nor can it
be tortured into a party question. 1t is
point where Wing and Democrat, Nulliti.
er and Tariflie may concentrate their en-.
ergics without bitterness or Jealousy, and
the only rivalry will be who shall be fore.

We find by reference 10 The returns Of
the Marshals, that the counties Of Leake,
Madison, Scott, Alfalfa and Winston, in
1887, contained a population Of 27,9O3,
and grew 42,492 bales of cotton. 1t is a
safe calculation to say that one half of this
cotton, (f the Rail Road shoull terminate
here,) would be shipped to Vicksburg-
