Senatorial Elections.

The Senatorial election in New Jersey, postponed
until the 14th inst The democrats have two majority
on joint ballot and have nominated in caucus John r.
Thompson Esq, of Princeton. There will be diff
cuty in securing for Mr. Thompson, Che united vote of
the party In that event it is thought Peter d. Vroom
Esq, late Governor of the State and of decided
ability will be selected. The democrats have the power
and hope they will by union sound
and consistent Republican The 18th of FEBRUARY, being
ST. Valentines day, favorable time for such union
In New York the wings have failed to elect and have

Boston Times Boston Post and the leading democratic
papers in the State denounce the coalition and call
the party keep their hands uncontamnated with such
filth. The following extract we copy from the Boston
Post which is the concluding of long article
in which the editor contrasts the of the Indiana
democracy with the trucking policy of Massachusetts:

widely circulated in the campaign. Mr. Bright, in
spirited letter, uttered that memorable sentence which
