From the Trenton (N ~ State Gazette.
The Approaching Election.

IL is time that the w higs oil this State had begun
TO take the necessary steps towards securing pro-
per result at the approaching State elections. The
cause OF good government is now, at all times,
dependent upon the fidelity Of those who are will
ing, from disinteresed and patriotic motives, to be
its defenders. We do not know that any Offices of
large salaries patronage stake and on that
account the less interest may be felt in the APP
preaching election by the sef-seekng, the office
seeking, and their friends But pure. disinterested
and patriotic should for that very reason take
il upon themselves to that the good cause shall
suffer detriment on account of the lukewarmncss
of interested advocates.
New Jersey has duty and responsibility of no
slight weight To discharge in respect To the Federal
government. That government is now conducted
with good motives, and for high and patriotic ends
The faithful execution of the constitution and laws
is the rule of action which il faithfully observes
and the happiness, honor, and prosperity of the
country the objects it unerringly pursues. As
is always the case, when government refuses to
pander to the passions of the wicked, TO subserve
the interests OF the mercenary it has provoked their
anger, and brought down upon itself their herce
unsparing, and unprincipled hostility He is no
patriot who does not at such time hasten to its
support, and range himself among its defenders
If ON such emergencies the good people of the
country would, without waiting for times and
causes of excitement and popular ferment, unani-
mously and universally step forward and record
their votes in favor of the government the country
would have good rulers much oftener and longer
than IL has. Ii Is because at such time, good citi
fold their hands, and neglect TO vote, that the
turbulent opponents Of good laws and Of those who
faithfully execute them triumph over them.
At this special time-at this our first election since
General Taylor began 10 administer the govern
ment--the Undoubted Wing State of New Jersey Is
under strong obligations 10 give him her support.
If she fails 20 do it, her citizens will fail 10 do their
bounden duty, in strengthening and sustaining the
hands of good administration in its efforts TO con-
duct the government in the best, wisest, and most
virtuous manner
We hope therefore that in every part Of the State
may see the Wings moving forward in
their old and well beaten pathways, taking the
customary and necessary measures, combining and
marshaling their strength, and, in short, doing
what they have often done before, and which, If
well done, has always ensured and always will en-
them successful result.
