Glorious Democratic Victory in New Jersey
Overthrow Of the Know Nothings.

The Democracy Of New Jersey obtained
a glorious victory al the election held on the
9th inst. They completely swept the Slate,
%electing a large majority in the Legislature,
which will choose a United States Sennior.-
The Newark Adrertizer, a Know.N Nothing
paper, ofthe 9TH Of November, thus speaks Of
it /:
"The Democracy of this State are greatly
%rejoiced, as they have reason 10 be, in the ex-
tent and completeness oflheir success IN yes.
terday's election, having even exceeded all
reasonable expectations. They have made
large gains over ;heir previous majority in the
Legislature, which will secure for them one,
if, not two, United States Senators, 10 he
elected within the next three yearG~-From the
returns now before ms it appears that they
have elected five OF the new Senator'S, in
which case the Senate will be composed Of
twelve Democrats, five Wings and three Amer
cans. The House, from present data, will
be composed Of thirty seven Democrats, six
teen Wings, six Americans and one Temper
ance man. This is certainly a large gain over
their last years majority, which amounted 10
Two in the Senate and twelve in the House."
New Jersey will vote for q Democratic Pres
ident next year., beyond ell doubt. Hurra
