NEW JERSEY.

1t h18 been source OF much regret
among the Republicanshere, and especially
among the natives Of that State, that Of
oil the free 6tates east Of the Rocky Noun
sains, New Jersey had gone for the pro-sla-
very fusion ticket Such was the COM
plexion Of the news up to yesterday morn
ing. 4 dispatch was then received from
Hon. Tllos. r. Dudley, Chairman OF the
State Republican COMMITTEES, stating that
iour Of the Republican Electors were
elected. AZ We understand it, the result
was obtained in this wise: The Bell and
Breckenridge men fused, nominating four
Brcckinridgc and three Bell men. The
Douglas men also nominated ticket, TAX
m3 the three Bell men and filling up the
ticket from their own ranks. The footings
show that the three Fusionists are elected
and four Republicans. This increases Lin
coins vote to 173. with California and Orc
goa to hear from.
Perry, Cobb and Steele arc the Fusion
Electors chosen in New Jersey. Perry
vas Breckinridge man, who had to write
letter promising TO vote for Douglas after
he WIS chosen, to prevent being scratched.
Cobb was Douglas nun, and Steele was
Breckintidge man. Do-glas is tolerab]y
sure Of one electoral vote; he may get two,
but he cannot hope for any more.
We take the following extract from the
Philadelphia american, showing that the
gallant Republicans of New jersey had to
fight the great railroad monopoly Of that
State, as well rs the combined strength Of
the pro-slare1y doughfaces:
The result Of the Presidential election In
New jersey does mob altogether surprise uF,
shorgh We had hoped for , different one. Il
is conceded that the contest there involved
moro directly the ascendancy and power Of the
Failroad monopoly, which has 80 long ovcr-
shadowcd political influence, than Mi other
| considerations besides. This wos the real
| question from the beginning, underlying all
| others, and made to 1a8y the most actirc md
| potential part Thnt corporation long ago
| Democratic organizations, aud securcd thc
| Bell managers outright, three months ago, by
the well understood appliances, Still, with
| Ill the strength Of this powerful combination,
| it. was found difficult to resist the popular
feeling for Abraham Lincoln, or to resist the
moral revolution which has just Terminated In
IN unprecedented succcaE, Under these cir
cuulstances, the most desperate means were
employed, and money scattered everywhere
.ith profusion which has never before been
known. As the travelling public s'pay the ri

Our friends in New jersey rnade as gallant

titled to recognition and honor rs those wht
navc been more fortunate. They struck
blow which staggered the despotism that ha.
ruled tho State, and 1t only needs to be follow
ed up efbctpally, as it will be, to Insure sue

their pride has been wounded, as may well b
