J ELECTIONS.

HURKAH FOR THE JERSEY BLUES!! NEW JERSEY WHIG ALL OVER ! ! ! We learn from the Baltimore Patriot and American that the Whigs of New Jersey hare achieved a most glorious triumph in the elec lion of their Governor and both branches of the Legislature, in spite of Capt. Stockton, with his big gun, and the Navy, Canal and Railroad under his influence and control. The following are the returns: NEW JERSEY. .

THE BATTLE APPROACHES ! Two weeks from Monday next the contest in Indiana will be settled. Let every Club every Committee and EVERY INDIVIDUAL devote the remaining two weeks in doing HIS DUTY TO HIS COUNTR Y. We have eve ry thing toeneoutage us. The people are moving.

Great and important principles are at stake. Let the warning voice of reason be heard. Freemen! Recollect your country now calls upon you your children are looking up t you as the conservators of their liberties and their interests.

Your fathers placed them in your hands for

Will you nt trea I the political arena with more determined, solemn and prayerful energy. Every whig must obey the summons of his

country with alacrity. The enemy of your

cherished principles is in the field eagerly

awaitine the contest, full of hope, and insolent

in their anticipated victory. If the cherished

principles of the whig party are defeated, let no whig be responsible for so great a calamity

American, says: In all the counties where the; Whigs have carried majorities for Governor they have also carried their county tickets: and there if a strong probability that they have elected a majority of the House of Representatives. i ' ' .... FOR CONGRESS. " In the 14th Congressional district, the Hon. Alexander Ramsay is re-elected by about 600 majority, notwithstanding he encountered not only the opposition of the Locofocos, but that or influential Whigs. His election by to handsome a majority, under all the circumstances, is deemed by Ms Irfends a great triumph.

t' Our news from; he 13th district is sucrHhat

we have litthidowbt :of the .re-election-of Pollock by 300"or 400 majority. In the Huntington district, now represented by Gen. Irivln, Mr. Blanchard, the whig candidate', is 'also probably elected by 400 or 500 majority. In the York and Adams District, now represented by Dr. Ness. Dr. Horner, (W.) is defeated by upwards of 100 majority. This district, it was thought would be close, but the election of Dr. Horner was calculated upon

with much confidence. There is scarce a doubt now in the minds of any one that Pennsylvania will give her electoral vote for Mr. Clay and Frelinehuv-

Our LateL0it latel news fiota the Elections is from the Cm. Gazette of yesterday. Pennsylvania. The probability is that Shunk's majority will be between 2.003 and 5,000, and that tb. locos will have a small ma

jority in the Legislature. There are yet six

counties to hear front, and they may increase Shunk's majority to 4.000. But the Whigs ia that State are in good spirits. They are confident of carrying the State for Clay in November. Shunk is a strong Protective Tariff" man, and sustained it on the stump; consequently many who will vote for Clay voted for the loco Governor. We believe Clay' majority in Pennsylvania in November will beiXKW! Mark that! Ohio. Nothing new. FFive counties yet unheard from. Bi t Baitley's maj. will be about 3.000! Ohio is perfectly safe. Clay's majority will be about 10:000 in November. Georgia. From Georgia we have the most glorious news. The returns show her to he firm in the whig faith. Thos. Butler King, Stephens, and Toombs. r.Il Whig., are elected to Cotiires from ti e first, seventh and eighth districts. These distrh t are composed of fif-

oiteen counties in which the votes stands

Hamilton County. The large majority for

the locofocos in Hamilton Co., Ohio, and which

was unexpected by the Whics. is accounted for by the large number of Germons naturalized the day before the election. We learn from the Enquirer, the loco paper of that city, printed on the morning of the election as follows: "The whole number naturalized will not fall much, if anv. short of tvdre hundred, a tuvl that will tell with fa'a! effect upon the last hope of coonery to-day !?'
