NEW JERSEY

The Wings have again carried New Jersey
handsomely. The Old Hunkers notwithstanding
their loud boastng of their superiority to Captain
Stockton and Mr.. Thompson, have Jared almost
as badly as he.
In this congressional district we have knocked
another Of last winters Locofoco gerrymanders
in the head. Our opponents thought they had
made district which the Wings could not carry.
The four counties of which 1t is composed gave
them last year majority of more than 800, allow
ing them their claim of 900 majority in Hunter
don. Now, John Runk, the Hunterdon county
farmer, the man that never was beaten, carries it
by majority which, though not tremendous" !"
is as good as if it was.
The Locofocos made frightful outcry when
the Whig Legislature dstricted the State COM
planning that they had made four Wing districts
They therefore altered the districts TO suit them
selves, and the result is, We have carried four of
the five districts.-Trenton Gazette.

PosTPoNEMENT OF THE GREAT FooT RACE
The New York Herald of yesterday says "In
consequence of the great excitement at present
prevailing on election matters, and likely to pre-
vail for some days to come, it has been thought
advisable to postpone this greast pedestrian match
until the lSt instant, when it is hoped that other
matters will be somewhat cooled down. The
names of the different parties entered for both
matches may be seen in other part of our paper,
in which there will he found the names of four
individuals who have not contended in any of the
other great matches, but of whom report speaks
highly. Greenhalgh is backed against the field,
if be goes in the three mile race; five to four on
Gildersleeve and Barlow against the field in the
ten mile race even on Gdersleeve against any
one fifty to one hundred on Gilderseeve against
the field. All the men are in first rate condition,
and quite sanguine and eager for the contest. As
a piece of pedestrianism, these matches are
thought by those who know what the men have
been doing in their training, will astonsh the
world"
