NEWJEKSRY.
New-Jersey might have been carried with the
rest and we think would have been, had there
been a Governor and Congressional Delegation
10 elect this year. As it il, there is Union
gain in either House and in the popular vote.
Now, this result means something, especially
in view Of the strikingy different result last
year. Ii certainly does no, mean, what Lord
Lyons wrote Earl Russell that the results Of
our last years Elections did mcan-that the
People of the loyal States were discouraged
at the i'll success OF the War for the
Union, and therefore inclined TO let the
Rebels have their own way. On
the contrary, all realize and agree that il means
the very reverse Of this. Some Of the Opposl-
ton journals talk as though it indicated an in
difference 10 Civil Liberty; but that II quite
unjust II is Slavery, not Liberty, that is
viewed with increased and increasing disfayor
by our people. And, as Mr. Clay suggested
that Texas, a permanent acquisition, should
not be rejected because Of Slavery, a temporary
institution, so the People Of to-day acquiesce in
some temporary restriction Of their liberties IN
times Of convusion and public peril, for the
sake Of their permanent establishment and
vindication. They endure the summary
doings Of Provost-MarshalS and Com
manders Of Departments in the assurance that
they are striking the shacklcs of the limbs OF
millions throughout future gcncrations-not the
shachlcs merely Of slaves, but those which for
two generations have padlocked the lips and
lettered the pens of lovers Of Universal Justice
and Liberty throughout half our country, while
sublecting them TO ignominy and sacrifices oil
over the land. The People hope and trust that
this is now to cease, and in that faith endure
and even welcome present privation and sui-
fering.
The conclusion that they mean to hare the Re-
Jeliion put square doun, is not ours merely. All
The journals positively agree in it. Some de-
fine it as dclusion, tending to ruinOus practical
errors; but they do not the less recognize its
existence. Several of the leading Opposition
Journals attribute the result Of the recent Elec-
lions mainly to the predominance Of this reSolu-
ton. And they are not far wrong.
Let us, then, all agree in this as one point
settled. The People may or may not approve
arbitrary arrests: they may Or may not approve
tho general conduct of the War for the Union;
they may and may not believe that, in order
that the Union may be truly and cOnclusively
restored, Slavery will have to die; and they
certainly do hold that the Union must and shall
be preserved, even Though to this end it should
be necessary W burt the feelings Of traitors
