New Jersey Redeemed:
The Greatest Victory of the Season!

True to the country and to themselves, the Whigs of New Jersey have more than redeemed every promise—have triumphed gloriously throughout the State. We have carried every department of the State Government, surprisingly increased our majorities in nearly every Whig county, reduced the opposition in some of their own counties, elected, for three years, the first Governor ever chosen by the people, carried both Houses of the Legislature, obtained a majority of 29 on joint ballot, a gain of 47 over last year, (when the gerrymandering Legislature had a majority of 18,) and have thus secured a U. S. Senator for six years.

In short, we have carried 13 of the 19 counties in the State—five of which were wholly against us, and two in part, last year—and elected Charles C. Stratton, the anti-monopoly Whig candidate for Governor, by a popular majority of some 1500 votes!

It has never been our fortune to record a more signal victory, under all the circumstances. The counties around us, and the interior townships of our own glorious Essex, have far exceeded our best anticipations, and they have all done so well that it would be invidious to particularize. But three things deserve special note. First, the impudent boast that New Jersey was under the command—its destinies carried in fact in the breeches pocket of a post captain of marine, who could, backed by the insolent monopoly which he governs, barrier away her free suffrages at will, has been most signally rebuked; the base attempt of the last accidental Locofoco Legislature to perpetuate its power by a wholesale system of gerrymandering, has been nobly defeated by the triumphant voice of the people, in the counties whose rights were so shamelessly invaded, and above all, and beyond all, the people of the old battle ground have given the best possible pledge to the nation of their unfading devotion to the great principles of civil liberty and equal rights, which constitute the cementing bond and object of the universal Whig party—and for which their fathers suffered and bled.

The native State of Theodore Frelinghuysen thus returns her thanks to the great Whig brotherhood for the honor done her in associating his honored name with that of the great Father of the American System—the paramount patriot and statesman of his age and country, and gives hereby the highest assurance of a just appreciation of her responsibilities—which will be more clearly shown in the great triumph in November.
