The nature Of this weigh, Upon the democracy is
plsinly sppsren, in the Nav Jersey election rhs
party there had every adyanAso In re.pet To
prestige. yet they suffered total defeat. Toe
lnng records oil DemocroLl triuwr,I,he handsome
majority Of last yoar, and all tue good foa,Grt'
that the party could present, could not buoy NJ
such platform as that upon which they embark
ed, and hence ,hs Republican waves have swrI
over IL. Therefore, we do no, regard ,he Demo
cratic defeat on Tuesday as public rehute 10 th
rank and file OF the party, iiwss simply an Cd
mention 70 the leaders that the public demand ,
publication OF the party from tho t,int and III,

JonAhs. When tho latter shall lave been thrown

Democratic shipwreck.
