! The Trenton -Moauor thus develops the i'm
pulses which have brought New Jersey ints
political antagonism oerery other Free statt
OF the Onion:
VINO DID IT?
The State Of New Jersey gave, at tho reccni
election, ovcr seven thousand majority fol
George B. Mcclellan and against Abraham
Lincoln. Mcclellan was the Candidate Of the
Democratic party. That party owes its over
and unnatural alliance with Camden and Am.
boy. Through that alliance,~it has for years
carried the Legislature, made Governors, Sen.
atoFs and membess Of Congress. In this way
It elected Governor Parker by fourteen thous,
aud majority: But just now tho Monopoly
I from tho public. There is q bill before The
| United States Senate, which, If it passes, will
bring their illgotten aud much abused mo-
nopoly to grfcf. Three-fourths Of the 1ne,n.
bcrs Of that Senate are Union men. They re-
present loyal States who have impcriled eve
| TythtnEto to put down the rebellion. They can
not look with an eye of favor on those who
have given to treason every aid and comfort
in their power. They may pass this bill. If
they heed the voice Of the country, they .rM
pass 1t.
To escape from this Just return for their
organ here to enter upon itsdefcnse-to show
"that at the late election TIC Union party
had the active cooperation Of most Of the
more influential members Of TINT company"
and more Of such fimsy material. We speak
B. Mcclellan removed to New Jersey to e.
side, In view Of evcntualities, he became the
special protege Of the President Of the Cam
den and Amboy. They labored through all
their Democratic papers here to make capital
for him. Their counsel, John P. Stockton,

1hey put their friend, Pendleton, who made
speeches for them in Congress, on the same
ticket for Vice President. They then went
1resolutely to work to carry New Jersey for
him,
The Democratic party had abundance of
they. Get it, If not from their Old patron and
as!yf Votes were bonght-the press was
stimulated-a spccln1 effort vns made bv
their chosen Instruments to divide, If posi-
ble the Union party in the Second District
would not submit to their dictation. The
State was actively canvasscd By their orators
Wall, Stockton, Naar, Bayard, Rogers
Every man In their service or pay was nut to
his utmost metal: the sick, latne, blind and
haltM,lnclndlng their President-werc almost,
their ticket. Thus they breasted the storm
OF loyalty which swept over the country,
carrying every loyal free State, and held New
Jersey In the slough Of slavery with Della
WIRE and Kentucky. With Mcclellan for
Congress, or State Lcgis1aturee The latter
they etfect1ally control. With the veto pow
er In their hands, what could Congress do?
They car1ied New Jersey.
But the bold, bad game Of electing McClcI-
Ian ialled and now we are told, in accents rs
gentle as sucking dove, "Thcy did not do
\ ~! !" Oh, no-it did itself, We suppose! Pray
oily. They did not interfere In the late cleo
toni 11eu disown such things.
In the Third Congressional District, Col.
Sitgreayes WAS their special friend and fayorite.
In the Fourth, Jack Rogers, and in the Fifth,
Gen. Wright, ftly represented their wishes.
IT was the crushing majority which they push
ed out in support Of these their especial fa-
Fomtea, Which gave the State to the enemy.
IN the Union party, The corrupt members Of |
that purity who run to them to sell themselves |
ior ieW hundred dollars for it. had each his |
little Pile. But while they we're thus feeding t
these Union sucklfngs from the spigot, the
Democraflc managers were drawing from the |
oangnole with freedom which only long |
intimacy and prescriptiye right could jus
tify;
There is really no reason for controversy |
upon this subject. Not an honest and intelIi- |
gent man In the State but knows that this |
monopoly has controlled the politics of Now \

for twenty four more years. II tits Is done
within that time, they will acquire 50 thor

Let Congress deliver us.
