THE NEw JERsEY ELEcrIoN.-The Newark
Advertiser makes the majority for Mr.. OldeD,
the republican candidate for Governor, ,0O6.
Governor Newell union oppssition) was elected
10 1855 by 1850. To the Senate the republi-
cans elect four and the democrats three, making
that body stand Q republicans, IL democrats
and American, who has heretofore acted with
the democrats. The Senate is composed Of Fl
members, one third elected annually, and the
democratic sscendeney ID derived from the cleo.
ton Of 1857, when ak democrats were chosen
to one republican, the effects of which cannot
be corrected until next year. The House vil
stand 20 republicans, IS democrats, 1 American,
independent democrat and not heard FROM.
There 10 no q. y. Senator to elect this year. or
indeed until 1854. Newark gives Olden 5,5lA,
Wright (democrat) 6,7SS; three weeks since the
vote stood republican 4,497, democrat 5,asS.-
Essex county. Of which Newark 10 part, gives
Olden 4S5 majority. Mercer county, where
OIden resides, gives him SIC against $50 for
Newell, three years ago. Hudson couo.y, where
Wright resides, gives him 500 majority against
IL for Alexander, democra,, in 1856. The fall.
ing Oh in Oldeu's majority comes from Camden
county, where Ameficanism hives, bic majority
being but against 1850 for Governor Newell.
The victory 10 oil the more gratifying, however,
because the bunker or shanghai Americans (so
called in New Jersey have had no hand 10 IL,
and are thus dsbarrsd from making missAief
aext year. S&' 2ss-i
