NEW JERSEY.
The Democrats have ca, ried the Legislature

These were the only offices in issue.
NEW YORK.
The returns received in Washington from
New York, to-day, look better, somewhat, for
the Know Nothings, though we have not yet
seen anything in them to induce us to change
our opinion of yesterday, that the Repubi.
cans will, in the end, be found to lead all the
others. The Democrats have probably elected
their candidate for Judge Of the Court of Ap-

Guiding Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, and
New Jersey, (wherc they have triumphed in
State elections over the vote of all their oppo-

But the few adherents of the Republican
