THE IMPORTANCE OF THE APPROACHING CONsREssIOE-
AL ELECTIONS The Buffalo Commercial submits the
following thoughts on the importance Of the pending
Congressional elections.
1t may be assumed, as general proposition
that the political complexion of the National
House of Representatives, chosen for the last
two wears of Presidential term, will fereshad-
ow the political character of the President to be
next thereafter elected. A recurrence to the
history of the country for the last quarter OF
a century will ascertain the fact that this indi-
cation has been unerring-that there has not
been single exception since 1897. We do
not 90 further back, for the two-fold reason
that the period named is sufficient for our pur-
pose, and circumstances Of the election in 1924,
when there was multiplicity of candidates,
and that of 1890. when there was only one.
prevent those epochs from being, used to sup
port or controvert our Hypothesis. But we
presume that every Congressional election next
preceding the election of President, in
which there was lively competition, would
present a state of facts, which, when consider
ed in connexion with the choice of an execu'
tive, would bear us out in our assumption.
Taking it for granted, then, that we shall be
able to determine the political character o.
President Pieree's successor by the party as
sociations of the men whom the people choose
to represent them in the next Congress, tht
Congressional elections which have already
commenced, and which are to be continued
with intervals of greater or less length for
twelye-month to come, acquire an unusual in
terest and importance. And in view Of the fac
that these members of Congress will be oalle
upon to choose a President in default of q
election By tbe peopla--a result not at all in
probable, in the present political condition Q

A RELIGION WHICH WILL NOT SAVE Us
There is a religion Wbichis too sincere for hy-
pOcracy, but too transient to be profitable, too
superficial to reach the heart, too unproduci-
i've to proceed from it. II is slight. but, as
far as it goes, not false. 1t has discernment
enongh to distinguish sin, but not frmness
enough to oppose it; eOmpunctiOn sufficient to
soften the heart, bat not sigor enough to are-
form it. 1. laments when it does wrong. and
performs all the functions Of sin except fOrsa-
king it. 1t nas everything Of devotion except
the stability, and gives everything 70 religion
except the heart. This is a religion. OF .times,
events and circumstances; it is brought into
play BY accident, and dwindles away with the
occasion which called it out Festivals and
fasts, which occur but seldom, are much OBJ
served, and it IS to be feared, because lheY
occur seldom; while the great festival which
comes every week, comes too often TO be so
respectfully treated. The piety of these
people comes ou! much in sickness, but
is apt to retreat as recovery approaches. II
they die they are placed By their admirers in
the Saints Calendar if they recover, they go
back into the world they had renounced, and
again suspend their amendment, as often as

THE NEBRAsKA TEsr.-YOung America, the home
organ Of Senator Douglas at Chicago, thus refers to
Democratic papers which endeavor to shik the Nebras-
ka test -s
"Ths Democratic Press Of yesterday says that certain
newspapers and certain members Of Congress have
sned that the Kansas and the Nebraska bill is to be
henceorh test Of party iealty, and asks trumphandy

The Press is not the only paper among the truants
from the Democratic side which makes use Of this shift

sweIsd by simply citing the WashilgtOn Union, ae.
kHoT!edged as he National organ Of he Democratic
party which expresses its views upon the orthodoxy Of
the Nebraska and Kansas bill as test in few bat COM
prehensive words"
The extracts from the Washington Union to which
the Chicago Young America calls attention are:
"7Se Nebraska Bill is a test Of Democratic Ortbo-
aozy. The majority have spoken, and in this county
the majority must be obeyed 1t is not necessary that
any Administration should cay what is or what "a not
test of aithi but the will Of the majority Ofthe Democrat

The Position of Senators.

The correspondent of the New York Day
Book communicates the following information
in relation to the causes that operated upon
democratic senators in voting for Tucker for
printer, instead of Armstrong -
Hunter and Mason supported Tucker sim
ply because he was Virginian of their own
set, and poor. They had no design of censur-
ing Armstrong or of affronting the administra-
ton. Mr.. Hunter, indeed even approves of
Mr.. Guthrie's line of conduct in the New
York affair; while Mr.. Mason has signifed
his willingness to aquiesce'
AS for Mr.. Broadhead, Mr.. Wright and Mr..
James, they deemed the question Of printer to
Senate an Indifferent question, and one not at
all concerning the President, and his Cabinet !;
and considered they were at liberty to humor
their personal predictions without mourning
the suspicion of party infdelity. And in sup
posing that the matter was within the peculiar
province Of the Senate, they were right, and
in agreement with the administration. The
President and Secretaries would have pre-
ferred the election Of Gen. Armstrong; he en-
joys their friendship and their confidence; yet
they took no step to secure his success, though
well knowing, like all the rest at Washington,
that powerful opposition was being organ
lied against him. They judged and judged
wisely, that the coalition Of wings and aboli-
tionists in behalf Of any paper, no matter by
whom edited, by whom read, would give to it
at least doubtful reputation that patronage
received from the hands of Seward Sumner,
Wade and Chase, while filling the pocket
would at the same time damage the character.
