The Oyster Supper.

The Supper at the Hotel of D. Craig Con
OVER, Esq, in this village, on Thursday eve
ming last, was just what might have been ex-
pected-an excellent one. All parts of the
county were well represented, and persons
from various parts of the State were present
to enjoy
The feast of oysters, and the flow of wine.
The arrangements made by the host were
such as to increase his already enviable repu-
tation, and far surpassed, in every particular,
anything of the kind that has ever before taken
place in this village. The attendance was
very large
After Supper, meeting Of those present
was duly organized for the Offering of toasts,
and exchange Of sentiments A Mr. TIrUs,
of Ocean, was unanimously elected Chairman.
BY request, Gen. Z. V. r. WRIGHT, Of Hud-
son county, addressed the meeting. Hon. IL.
ELwooD LAFETRA was then called upon, and
responded in a brief, but able manner. Re-
marks were also made by JOEL PARKER, and
JOS D. BEDIE, Esq's, and others. During in
tervals,. 3. I. PITCHER, Esq, Of Long Branch,
entertained the assembly with extemporaneous
songs. Good order and good feeling, were
marked features Of the entire evening.
1t would afford us much pleasure, and we
did intend, to give this affair amore particular
notice, but time viii not permit "taken all in
ALL" it did much credit to the landlord, and
we presume there were many present who
would have no objection whatever, to look
upon its like again"

BOROUGH ELECTION.

The constant abuse and denunciation poured
out upon the American party, by the organ Of
loeofocoism and popery, in this place, has
! caused those who have identified themselves
with the American movement, to stand on the
defensive, and hence in our little township
and borough elections, party lines are drawn
| and they are contested with all the bitter ami
mostly that characterizes a gubernatorial OF
presidential campaign. This is exceedingly
unfortunate, and serves to embitter friends
and neighbors, and oftentimes, perhaps, TO
prevent the community from obtaining the
services of their best and most worthy citizens.
Township and borough elections should be
held for the purpose of selecting the best men,
and the most responsible citizens, to transact
the business of the community, without re-
gard to party triumph, and political predilec-
tions.
This abuse of the American party, and eau
cusing for candidates, led them to draw the
party lines on Friday last, and to make de-
termined resistance to those who were running
on the Democratic ticket. The result has
been the defeat Of JAMES WRIGLEY, Esq, for
Justice, who is admitted on all hands to have
been one of the best, most prompt and efficient
officers our town has ever had. We believe
Ar. DUNDET, the successful candidate, to be
fully capable of discharging the duties of the
office, and have no doubt he viii make good
justice, but, apart from political motives,
there was no reason whatever for Mr.. Wrigley's
removal. An honest and upright citizeD,-a
impartial and competent officer, he possessed
the confidence and good opinion OF the whole
Community, and we are exceedingly sorry to
see him stricken down on account of the inju-
dicious conduct of those who claim him as
member of their political party.
1t is not surprising that the American party
should have acted as they did. It was not the
defeat of such men as Mr.. Wrigley that they
desired, but to rebuke those who call them
selves democrats, and who are weekly heap
ing upon Americans and Protestants whole
columns of abuse, thus exciting bad feeling
and bitter animosity among their fellow citi-
zenS. If wedesire to live harmoniously to-
gether, and to procure the services Of our best
and most experienced citizens, we must bury
all party feelings, so far as our little borough
aud township elections are concerned.
