NEW JERSEY ALL RIGHT!
The Governor and Council of New Jersey have at last, after hearing the Van Buren candidates by counsel, counted the votes for members of Congress returned from every county in the State, and officially declared the result to be as follows:
Whig Ticket. V. B. Ticket.
Aycrigg, 28,150, Dickerson, 27,951
Maxwell, 28,239, Force, 27,813
Halsted, 28,192, Vroom, 27,990
Randolph, 25,282, Cooper, 27,954
Stratton, 28,252, Kille, 27,924
Yorke, 28,177, Ryall, 27,939
The six Whig candidates were pronounced duly and legally elected, and were furnished with their certificate of election. This is as it should be. The stupendous, the abominable frauds committed at the elections in New Jersey by the Van Buren party, to cheat the Whigs out of their just rights—which frauds have been laid bare to the public gaze, by this hearing which the Governor and Council have given to the counsel and witnesses of the Van Buren candidates—have signally failed to accomplish the desired end for which they were vilely and wickedly resorted to. Every moment the examination was prolonged, brought to light fresh instances of outrageous frauds committed by the Van Buren party. One of these instances was of this nature: At a precinct in one of the counties where the Judges of the election were all Van Buren men, there were returned, as having been cast for the Whig Congressional ticket, but 25 votes. After this return was made out and certified to by the Judges, 33 legal voters of that precinct went before a Magistrate and made solemn oath, severally, that they gave in at the precinct, each a ballot, with the names of the six Whig candidates for Congress upon it! The Newark Daily Advertiser thinks that, from the evidence given in before the Governor and Council and from other facts that have been ferretted out and brought to light, the Whigs have been cheated and defrauded out of several hundred votes, in this horrid manner. It has been a desperate game, and played with a bold hand in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Van Buren party in those two States, seem to have set their "life upon the hazard of a die," and to have so cast that die as to leave them the knowledge that, unless detected, they could not lose. They did gain something in Pennsylvania, and came near gaining more in New Jersey. But thanks to Truth! their works in the latter State, were in part discovered, and New Jersey is saved from their rule and ruin sway. Even the Richmond Enquirer acknowledges the wickedness of its party in these two States, and utterly condemns it.
