PHILADELPHIA, November S, 1S45.
New Jersey, ] think am justified in saying, did
nobly and well at the election yesterday. We have
i is certain, elected George Sykes, esq, the Quaker
democrat TO Congress, in the district composed Of
Burlington and Monmouth counties, in place of the
wing member elected last fall. Burlington county,
which last year gave Clay majority of 7l3, has
now given its vote for the democrats on the whole
tickei-Congress, sheriff, legislature, and all. Mon
mouth county, which gave majority of 2l3 for
Polk, has now gone democratic by an increased ma
jority. These returns indicative of democratic
triumph in the State, four or FIVE of the counties
TO be heard from are Overwhelmingly democratic
Indeed, should not be at all astonished if we car
ried the legislature by decisive majortes
Since writing the above, have learned that Cam
den county, which gave majority against us last
year of nearly three hundred, has now elected the
whole democratic ticket--senator, representatives
and all. Gloucester has gone, as usual, for the
wings.
Our friends sanguine that the State is ours, as
the passengers In the early train from New York
this morning report that the news along the whole
line (Which runs through New Jersey) was favora-
BILE to the democrats.
We have also received the glorious tidings from
New York, by which the astonishing and over
whelming victory Of the democrats over both the
other parties is made known. The natives poed a
much smaller vote than the wings, and are evidently
rapidly decreasing By-and-by, there will not be
one len to tell the story Of their existence. The
grand total exhibits an average majority of nearly
1000 votes over the natives, and about 1000 over
the wings. Every branch Of the democratic ticket
Is elected, from senator and register down. In
Kings county, the democrats also sweep everything
before them, by majority of (say) five hundred
votes. There was not full vote out, by several
thousands. In the interior Of New York, the as
poets were not so healthy at last accounts, in the
city. "Anti-rentism" ESQ writes one Of our friends
at Albany twas very powerful element against
The democrats" have no doubt, however, that the
result, in the aggregate, will be most gratifying
one, and that the sistcr-States Of New Jersey ard
New York will have made yesterday memorable in
our annals.

you will have, of course, announced before this
reaches you. The effect Of the fall in the price Of
cotton is happily countersctcd by the advanced
prices OF brcsdstus, and by the prevailing want in
the European states for the great staples Of agricu
turc, which have been plentfuly produced in this
country during the last season. The railway ma
ma in England Is quite marvel in its way, and has
gwen rise TO much speculation in the newspapers
II Is said that all the men and women in the king
dom, II engaged for an indefinite period of time,
could not complete those railroads, the projects Of
which have been published. the capital Of which has
