NEW JERSEY ELECTION.

NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
In New Jersey the State election and the presidential
election arc held on the day November 4h She Is
entitled to seven presidential electors
The result in that State regarded with much interest

although the chances in favor Of Buck and Brock At
the last governors election three years ago Price demo

the anti-democadc majority in the State at large
Go6O One year ago the democrats carried the State by
respectable majority Since that election most Of the
democrats who had hauled off, account of the Nebraska
law have returned that the democrats present
powerful front The opposition, consisting Of know moth
ngs and republicans have joined teams in support OF Dr.
Newell one Of the leading knownothngs in the State for
governor This concession the part of the republicans
was doubtless made under the presumption that there
would also be union the electoral ticket but when
they came to find that the knownothings going
vote for their own President we'll governor md that
Fremont was not TO voted for except by his own party
although they could not repudiae the nomination Of
Newell they began privately to give the cold shoulder
more especially the Fillmoretes by having the State
nomination possess great advantage their allies in
regard 10 the presidential ticket The electors for Pres-
dent being run on the ticket with the governor and
the State ticket coming home nearly to the hearts Of
the people II carries in great the electoral There
Is very little scratching.
The democrats have nominated for governor tho most
popular man In the State and Of the abesa man Of
great purity Of character and possessing extraordinary
powers Of eloquenoe lie is Of the late celebrated
Professor Alexander Of Princeton and brother Of two Of
the present professors He is lawyer Of standing and
will carry great strength for the Buchanan ticket At
present the Fillmore party and Fremont party refuse TO
fuse on the electoral ticket but Is supposed this will only
last until the day before election when four electors from
each ticket will be put upon ticket and agreed upon the
vote be cast for the candidate who gets the greatest
number Of electoral votes There Is doubt but that the
democratic ticket beat both Of these parties combined
az they did last fall
The coquetng together of these parties and the prob
ability that at the eleventh hour they will unite
and the electoral ticket render II necessary that the
democrats should come out in their full strength, and not
be caught mapping. They can overcome all opposition
and they must The interests Of the nation require IT.
