W. Wall. whom Robbins defeated IN $50. Nr.
Wal is al in,eu-e Lecomptcnlte. and vas NOM
mated BY accident. The Convention contained
Ice votes, 50 Of which were cast by Burlington
County, in which he resides. The friends OF BIS
opponent Mr George Syke-, We're prevailed upon
10 give Mr.. Wall a complimentary vote OF the
entire county on the fret ballot. and then let him
slide for Sykes. But this complimentary vote
turned out unexpectedly heavy. Wall receiving %
and Sykes only 20. TIE former thus received the
nomination much TO the chsgrin Of the uncon-
scious minority, who go into thu canvass with no
cordial feeling for tie success Of their accidental
nominee. Mr. Wall is 8 lawyer, very fluent on che
stump, End extremely energetic. But IN his last
canvass b. committed the singular indiscre'lon OF
attacking and abu-ng the Quaker, of whom there
are large congregations IL Burlington and Mercer.
His prospects are 20 hopeless that he will probably

feud exists between him and Senstor Wright who

to scatter in a quarter where the meanest Of them
would have been received with thankfulness.
The lid District, composed Of Hunterdon,
Middlesex Somerset aid Warren, is nos repre-
sen,ed By Mr. Adrain Democrat who opposed
Leeompton only in haf-and-half way. Had he
been hostile without STINT as were Hsskin and
Hickman, or had lie even shown the proper back
bone since his return home, the Republicans would
have sustained him heartily and RETAINED from
nominating an opponent. But he has been shutting
and prevsricsting ed cannot be trusted. His own
party look on him with di.trust, and il is extremely
doubtful whether they will adopt him at their Con.
vention on the Both. He has offended both wings,
and been dropped by the Opposition. who viii
probably nominate Mr.. George ". Taylor If the
Democrats should bring out Mr. Adran for Sec
ond term. Tins District elected Adrain by
jorty Of / ,Ol3 over Bishop (Whig), who displaced
Dr. Lily for his blind subseryiency to Perce's
original sin Of the Ksnsas-Nebraska bill. Under
any view of the case, Mr.. Abrams doom Is morally
certain The Distric, is strongly Democratic, but
it will heartily repudiate Lecompton.
The WITH District is represented BY Judge
Huyler, who went in BY majority of 9a4, and
consists OF Bergen, Morris, Psssaic and Sussex.
Judge Huyler was persistent supporter OF the
Lecompton fraud. and turned deaf ear 10 all
remonstrances Of friends ST home. The District
now contains a strong AntLecompton Demo-
cratic organization with an energetic press just
established in Snssex TO sustain IT, and their can
didate ia Mr.. Ictur r. Riggs, whose term in the
State Senate has just expired. Mr.. Riggs is a
strong Tariff Democrat. The Convention which
nominated him has issued one Of the sbest adj
dresses of the campaign. This nomination will
be cordially supported by the entire Opposition.
so that Mr. Riggs Election is pretty sure thing
Huyler will thus be effectively rebuked and laid
on the shelf His defeat will teach the Democracy
Of ew-Jersey a new lesson touching their sub.
seryiency to the Slave Power-that blind ad-
hesion to its demands will be political destruction,
in the strongest Democratic District.
The With District has nominated e1 Gov William
Pennington. The Convention selected him by &C.
clamaticn, all phases of the Opposition uniting
spontaneously at the mention of his name. His
opponent is Wortendyke, the supple, plant and
stultifed tool of the slaye.driving Administration
Mr. Pennington's election is sure, BY heavy ma
jority. The great County Of Essex, with Newark
for its capital, and numbering nearly 10000
voters, viii give the lie to all its antecedents if il
does not give him tremendous majority Gov
Pennington is lawyer Of distinguished ability, in
manners most accomplished gentleman and,
when the tug of war comes in the House. Will hit
blows that will b. hard to bear. Wortendyke
slipped in in 1856, through the split in NewJersey
politics. He received 9,099 yotes; while his Re-
publican and American competitors polled 6,isO
and 5,63S votes respectively, leaving him in clear
minority of 3,0l9. At the next turn he will drop
entirely out of sight.
1t is quite remarkable in the history of these Op.
position nominations that in only one Of them
ballot was gone into, and that in that case the first
ballot decided the question. All the other NOM
inees were chosen by reclamation. This unity of
sentiment is of the pecullarities Of the Oppos
ton in New-Jersey at the present moment, and
gives token Of a comprehensive victory. Beside
purify ing the Congressional representation, it will
penetrate 10 the Legislature. By whom some hon.
est man will be chosen to suPersede the dumb dog
Of despotism who for six years past has so grossly
nisrepresented the State at Washington.
