New..yersey Election.


A signal defeat was experienced yesterday By the
notorious Peace party organized last Summer, in
the lid Assembly District of Monmouth County New.
Jersey. This faction, comprising many OF the most
prominent men Of the Breckenridge wing OF the
Democratic party, effected q perfect organization
few DAYS after the battle Of Bull Run, making their
first public demonstration at Mddletown on the 29th
of August at which time and place the Hon. Thos.
Dunn English was to hold forth against the State
and National Administration" but was prevented
by fears of personal violence from the outraged cit
zens of the village and surrounding country. Not
withstanding this spirited rebUke, the same party
put one Of their own men Ia sgner of the call for
the Peace neeting) on nomination for the Assembly.
The Union men of the district, throwing aside all
party feeling, called upon Mr.. George c. Murray,
and uncomprosing Union Democrat, TO represent
them in the Legislature, and Notwithstanding the
immense amount Of money spent and the almost SUI
perhuman efforts made by the Peace party to sustain
themselves, elected him by majority of 300 yotes

JOHN q. FREDIONT.

Whatever other faults may belong TO the
character Of John G.. Fremont. m oyer-weeDing
self esteem il not one Of them. Ii may be that
he is too proud to be vain--for vanity and pride
do not often 90 together-but certainly he has
none of that selfloye which is quick to take
oiIense, and is so apt to lead its possessor to
rash and ill,judged and sometimes 10 criminal
acts for his own justification. 1t mny be that
he Is not great enough for the military CON-
mand of the Western District; that he wants
experience, judgment. energy, and that insight
into character which would be a safeguard
against bis surrounding himself with dishonest
men. On these points We have nothing to say
here. for it is on such charges that he is ar
raipned by the Government. But surely it is
not improper for us to affirm that if be is not
great enough for that command, be is, at least,
great in his removal from it. "H He that ruleth
- his spirit is better than he that taketh a
4" city,"
For in truth it seldom falls to the lot Of
man to be placed in position more trying than
his. 1t is not within the range Of possibility
that he believes himself guilty on those points
whereof he ia accused; for, if that were the
case, he would long ere this have rellnqulshed
his command voluntarily. However wise and
Just the Government may be; however wrong
Gen. Fremont may be, most assuredy his con.
fdence in his own innocence Is unwavsring,
and he looks upon himself as an injured man.
The order for his removal comes to him at the
head of an army in the feld--an army Of
40, 900 men, every one Of whom is bound to
him with personal devotion and attachment
such as has been rendered to no commander
of any country except Napoleon. 1t is something
that he should obey the order for retiring without
a mumur though we trust there is no General in
the service who would not have been equally
prompt in obedience to such duty. But IL ia
not only that he was at tho head Of such an
army so bound to him by that peculiar inau-
ence which he wiclds over oil who become
his followers; but he was on the eve Of bat.
tie, long looked for and louged for. The enc.
nv whom he had followed for hundreds ol

for weeks had told him he might justify him

OUR STATE AND HER CANALS.

The People of the State Of New-YOrk have
lust chosen a new Canal Board BY the largest
majority ever cast in any State for any ticket
We say a new Canal Board; for the eminent
citizens elected compose decided majority Of
the Board who are TO manage our Canals after
the 1st of January next, and are new to that
particular trust, though not all new to official
responsibility and the public confidence. Mr..
DICKINSON has been a member of our State Sen
ate and of that Of the Union; Mr.. ROBINSON has
been an eminent and influential Member Of
Assembly; Mr.. LEWIS has won distinction IN
the financial service of our sister City Of
Brooklyn; Mr.. TAYLOR has been an engineer
on the Canals; Mr. ALBERGER has been (and
may still be) Mayor Of Buffalo; Mr.. BALLARD
has not held any Office within our remembrance,
having been politically in the minority in his
County. A majority of them live south of and
of the line of the Grand Canal; but all are
pledged to the Constitutional policy of keeping
that noble work forever the property Of the
State and under the direct control of her
People. Aud, though some of them have been,
and may still be, distinguished as Democrats
others as Republicans, tho vote by which they
are chosen insures that they will never pcrvert
their great trust to the support and nOurishment
Of any party whatever. They are the elect Of
the People, not Of any party, and, as honorable,
faith-keepng men, must conduct themselves
accordingly.
This is contamination which the better por
ton OF our citizens have long desired but which il
seemed difficult ever 10 attain. Hitherto. candi-
dates Tor State Offices have been nominated and
