The elections soon to be held will be of more than usual importance. They will throw hifht on the great q ieti:n, how far it is possible for a free Government, consti tute! in its legislative branches by popular choice, to prosecute wiJi vigor a war of cons-iderable duration, and which entails heavy burdens on the community. As a representative G ivernment i mainly carried on by party orgsnizttion, the great interests of the community, both in peace and war, are to become tho arena in which the opposite parlies strive for the mastery. Questions, in themselves of secordary importance to the general welfare, are often contested with vehemence and pa'sgon, and that by men of ability and patriotism, workinj, themselves up to the belief that they are contending for matters of vital importance. Within my experience, the politics of the country have successively turned upon four or five questions, regarded at the time time as of the greatest moment, but now utterly obst lete and foretton. These unfortunate conteset, while they last, are the source of great embarrassment to tho Administration of the General Gov ernment for the time being, wlnca rials i'self thwarted in all its measures, however patriotic and beneficial their tendency, by indiscriminate opposition, aiming only at an electioneering triumph. This is a very j serious evil in time of peace, greatly enhancing the difficulties and hardens of public lite, and highly detrimental to the public interests. Io time of war, the evil becomes one of ,

! tremedious magnitude. 1 he questions that ; party which got up the rebellion at tre Ihen present themselves ar naturally more S .uth. Here is a list of leaders in that treairo port ant than ordinary political issues in ' son, and members ol that pary, at the time time of ppace, while evry blow struck at! of the secession, all of them old Whigs :

It is a pretty safe test.in cases of this kind. to ask how the views and measures ef a par ty are regarded by the common enemy. Applviog this test in the present case, noth ing is more certain than that the triumph, at tbe approaching election, of any party organization aod operating for the prostra tion ot tbe Administration would Dj regar ded with unmingled satisfaction by the leaders of the rebellion and their sympathizers abroad.

cndt ilion !- thy God's, "Question of IdealityThe question has been debated whether jack-knife which was equippel last year with a cew han 11-, and this year fjrnishei with a new blade, rt-main the sm jack knife. A like philosophical doubt has b-en raised ia regar J to a jacket which has been patched sat often and so liberally that not a shred of the old garment remains. Is it tbe original jacket ? A aimilar perplexity has been raised by a ,4 , partyt.at has (rradually worked ,lf ioJ ew Mt of principle, and hav- , . dona has obta.oed an i. Is it t' e same party ? new set of it. i mem'-ers. is nice same puny . nere ior example, is the Democratic party, wr.ioh puts lorth, as its platform, .a set of principles recognising not a single doctrine of all those for which it contended 25 years since, and these resolutions are either offered or supported by men who wore then its most determined adversaries. With nei. tier the same principles to maintain, nor the earn men to maintain them, can it, without a minotner, be still called the Democratic party ! - Is not tbe old party extinct, and ibis which takes its name ao impostor ? The case is even clearer than that of the jack-knife or the jtcket. If the handle fitlei to the new blade of the j tck-knife had been borrowed of another knite, which had lost its blade, mightnot the knife from which the handle was obtained fairly claim to be the original knife, if the claim could be made by either? So, if an old red jacket hal been patched by pieces taken from an old blue one till tbe original red disappeared, might not tbe blue garment dispute the title of the red to be the primeval jacket ? These suppositions bring the case Dearer to that of the domocratic party, so-called. That party has been so patched from other associations the Know-Nothings, the Native Americans and the Whigs that those who attend its conclaves look around with surprise upon a set of people with whom the once held no views in common. Th(y look about, also, for the oil doctrines of tbe democratic party, and find altogether a new set of doctrines in their place. What, propriety is there, then, in keeping tha old appellation ? It is cniious to observe what strange ir-r-ip ions have been made into the party wh'ch calls itself democratic, within a few drs pat. It was the so-called democratic numphrey Mrhn.

Then, we ask, what friend of Vallandigham, who was a member of the House, would have employed him to make this negotiation with us? Is there any other lair presumption than that he was a Southern member 1 If this member was a Northern roan, would he bave applied to Vnllandiham for information, or would either he or Vallandigham applied to us instead of applying to the New York and Philadelphia dealers t " It will be observed tbat seventy five guns 'or more,' and then to imply a large transaction. perhaps a good many more ' Our Air.

And so general was the belief that we were supplying arms to the South, that we receive.) a very large number of orders daily from the slave stales, so large that we were obliged to employ a special correspondent to answer such letters. When it was app- r 1 ent that we could not openly ahtp arms Sou.b, we were asked to smuggle in various ways, such as to pack army revolvers with dry goods To pack them in tin cases, put t the tin cases in Urd-oil barrels, and then with oil, etc., etc. Great fill the barrels faith was placed in both our inclination and ability to get the arms through io the most unlimited quantity, even long alter the fall of Fort Sumter. Especially when we received Vallandighsm's letter, it was the current belief, both North and South, that we were ready for unlimited negotiations of this character. The Gazette aud other papers had long articles on the enormity. The Indiana legislature thought it a fit matter for special legislation, until finally a mob came to destroy our stock."

tlaltluar Scire. There is nothing like making sure, if one proposes to achieve success. True, "the bet laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley ,' and "it is not in mortals to command success." Bat we can deserve it. The careful ship agent in sending his ship to sea does not count upon a prosperous voyage, but provides for disaster and losses, lie puts on board spare anchors, and chains and ringing and canvas. Ha does not trust to luck, but s.eks to make everything sure. Till the ship returns safe to port, be is vigilant, and anxious, realy to do anything in his power to ward off danger, or if it come, to be prepared for it. In whatever enterprises meu engage. thy deem it wise to make things sure by securing ample means guarding against failure, anticipated disappointments, and providing for all probable, if not possible contingencies.

Tbe Cleaveland Herald relates an incident which is both a "good joke' and au instructive exposure of Copperhead eeotiments. A public discussion was held at Royalton, Ohio, last Thuraday evening, in 1 . . Amoi Coe. of Cleaveland. was , , , . , . , . ,r j deputed by the Copperheads to meet Mr. t Riddle and Mr- C. W. Palmer.

Tern Salalial Mew Jersey Several readers ask for Mm accoumt fa the Agttcu'turist, of the plant wbioh luM been spoken of in other papers sui atfibrdiog a good substitute for tea. We iateaded to do this before, but a prees of other matter has crowded it out until rather lata ia tba season. Tbe plant in question ia Caa-safAeta Amercanus, or "New Jersey TeaV v?a are not able to trace out tbe meaning of the botanical names New Jersey Tea, ia given it for the reason that it was used ia New Jersey as asubsiimte for tea. darin tba war of Independence. It is ooa of tba common shrubs of our dry woodlands, and is foaod throughout the Northern States. Ia Jturope it ia eultivat-d aa an ornamental plant, aad if it should prove to be an object, there ia do doubt tbat plantations mirht be readily established. The stem of an olive green below, striped with markings of brown w hile the joung shoots are of a lively green which turns to broa n on drying. The leave are 2 to 2 inches long, by 1 to If inches aide, with three strong ribs; tbey are oa short foot sulks, and are smooth oa tba upper surface, and a little doway oa tha made side. The flowers ara verry smell aad are borne iu denae white clusters at the end of the long downy foot stalks, which coma from the axils of the upper leaves. Tba fliwers are followed bv a drv three-aided I pod, which bears three seeds. As mentioned above, the leaves were formerly naed in tha place of tea; now that the high price of tea and coffee leads those accustomed to the articles to look for some aubatitata, it ia mill n.tnr t tk-t it,. M-,a, 1 T.a should come again into notice. Aa to tha J quality of the article, the only special men tion we have ia from John Salmon, Z-Q.a !of nton Co., Pennsylvania. lie consid ers it equal to thei imported tea. He says that io one township io his oounty there is a manufactory which employ a Crinamau to manufacture the "tea." and they now have about a thousand boxes on hand; that he has used it for a year past, and oonsiders it equal to the best black tea from China. Mr. S. thinks that if adequate oapital and skill were engaged in the business, w should be able to produce our own tea. Wa give ibe statement as it come to us, without any fr ither knowledge on the subject than I what is presented above. Except for old tea-topers, this substitute may answer aa a ."warm driok." We frequently hear from i those who profess, and doubtless think, tbat Icloverteais more delicious than anything from China. America Agriculturirt. The Two Aiti-Hstverjr Orsraaa.ln I tie East and .Vest. The Independent, of New York.edited by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and tha Co tholio Telegraph, ot Cincinnati, edited by Very Rev. Mr. Pureoll. V.G. The association is a rather singular one, but in these strange times very extraordinary things occur. The above is from tho Metropolitan, one of the organs of the New York rioter. There is tins difference between tbe editors of tbe Independent and Telegraph that' we never wrote a line to disturb the quiet of tha land, and never raised our voice agiaost vasited rights. When slavery waa overthrown by its friends, we refused to bave it restored, and wewill ever resist its restoration. Theie is no heavier calamity than slavery.

Shame on the man who would nnhold a system which mocks at matrimony, oppresses tbe poor, deprives the laborer of his wages, and sends the wife sad daughters to the slave pen to be sold to tbe highest bidderl Shame on tbe man who advocates such a system. Let tbe Pagan or the Turk insist on the preservation of slavery it will become the lips of the unregenerated but in the name of decency let the ohristian be silent. How can a Catholio kneel before the Redeemer of all aod say, "Our Father who art in Heaven 1 while he I engaged in supporting an institution which crushes to the earth the bodies and souls of millions of that Father's Children? Yes, Mr. Metropoltian, "very extraordina ry things occur." The above is one of them. Theie are several other. It U, rot instance, a very atrange thing to see tbe man who was oppressed at horns, the ry loudest on the side of oppression here! It is a strange thing to see the man who was compelled to labor at home for so small a pittance that his lamily was on tbe verge ol starvation, crying out lus'ily ia this country to make man work, under tbe lash, for which they receive no pay at all 1 1 We will tell you another extraordinary thing. To see newspapers circulated among the people, whose editors claim to be Catho lics, in which the most atrocious appeals are mads to tbe passions of the depraved, ia which "tbe rowers tbat be are misrepre sented, oolumniated, snd disobeyed 1 Does the editor of tbe Metropolitan suppose tbat tbe blood of the murdered, daring the New York riots, will only be demssded of those who struck the brutal blow by which life was taken? Were there oa aoes ories before the fact were there oa apologists after it? Yss, there sre soma very extraordinary things taking place at present, aud we aivise tbe editor ot tbe Metropolitan to examine his own conscience, aad he may discover a co-partenership a great deal worse than that of tbe Independent . and Telegraph.
