One week ago to-day the storm was sweeping over
our city. Never strenuous efforts made to
carry this city and State, 90 as 10 conciate the South
Many of our great cotlers sadders haers and other
manufacturers derive their income from the South, and
hence they used every means in their power to force
and fghten not merely their operatives but the mid
citizens generally to vote for fusion, and to sacrifice
our honored and gifted Representative, Speaker Pen
nington. Some of our great clothiers said, with I'M
common force and JUNCTION, ave sorry to vote for
80 incompetent man Perry and TO sacrifice SO good
man az Pennington, but compelled to do it in
order 10 show the South that their friends!
And yet in spite of money, terror, and thumbscrews
generally, the people of Essex stood nobly by PEN

did more for Hog-roughdom than was expected, aud
you have the secret of that deporabe result the de-
feat of Pennington. Perhaps by way Of rebuke, it
made feel how lustrious she and her State can be-
come when represented in Congress by good sadders
and tsilors, but incompetent statesmen.
In the WITH District friends are grieving over
the defeat of Edsall for Congress This man Edsa is
one of the most thoroughly furnished politicians in the
State. He has an omniyorous mind and an enormous
memory. He is one Of the most laborous and careful
of readers His mind is strong and well balanced In
New-Jersey affairs he has no superior. few years
ago. when the arrangements for the Sussex Centennial
Celebration were made, he was appointed to denver
the historical discourse. lie was then, as he ID now,
the actual editor Of the best country newspaper in
New-J&sey and also he was working as a compositor
in the office. And yet bis wonderful energy and In
dustry so rumphed that he peformedone OF the most
elaborate historical dscourses pronounced in the

by the CARLOAD were ransacked, and the result was
no more an honor to him than TO the county IN winch

Church in Morrisown. He made his property as a
free trader in iron, and has been such in conviction
and practice until he was nominated to represent that
iron district. In all respects except wealth, he is
small man in comparison with Edsall and az 1t was,
he was beaten in bis County which OF late years
has usually given Democratic maorities. But 1t IL
raid Edsals defeat was secured by treacheIy among
the Douglas leaders at Newton, who sent their friends
over the County of Sussex on Monday night to COM

By the way, we are all calm and cheerful in these
parts and await further developments about the
