BRIpeEPoRr. Ono, Sept. %, 1858.

To the Editor Of the National Era:
As the election approaches, the political ele.
ments are becoming much sgitated. The vote
in Ohio will undoubtedly be large one, and
promises to result in complete victory to the
Republican cause. 1t is matter of sincere
regret to rsany, that the next session will close
the Congressional career of the veteran mem.
Der, Hon j. R. Giddipgs but it is matter of
qualification to know that good man and true
is nominated to take his place.
In the 2lst district, at present so ably repre-.
sented by Hon. j. A. Bingham, there was a
desperate effort made by the Democracy and a
few Know NothiNgs, to defeat that gentlemans
nomination, but all in vain. He will no doubt
be again returned to the next Congress. His
nnnnnant il eY Indigo Means q eantlaman of
respectable talents, who a few years ago was
professedly Wilmot Proviso Democrat, but
now swears by Buchanan and Lecompton.
In this district 1.-THE l6th) the opposition eIe-
ments are united, and we are determined to fill
the vt now occupied By Mr.. Lawrence with
fast friend of Freedom. Thos. c. Theacker
will receive the united vote of Republicans and
Americans. NJ. II, URoUHARr.

own, without losing its ascendency in the free
States, while it would gain nothing in the slave
States for the position of those gentlemen is
exceptional, and has Invested them of political
strength, that can be restored only by the over
throw of the Slave-Democracy, which the Re-
publican Party alone can confront with any
hope of success.
On the mere ground of expedieney, then, to
say nothing of higher considerations, the Re-
publicsns are bound to adhere to their own
organization, and forego none of its essential
principles.

Oh! Painter of the fruits and flowers
We thank Thee for Thy wise design, .

And thanks, that from our daily need
The JOY of simple faith is bora;
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust Thee for the autumn corn
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power,
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows field, or trains flower,

For he who blesses most is blest,
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls TO leave as his bequssl

NEW JERSEY.

Five members of Congress are to be chosen
in New Jersey in November next, and local
Legislature. The Philadelphia Inquirer re.
marks:
THE Legislature will be required to appoint
United States Senator for six years, in place
of William Wright, of Newark, who has been
during his whole term an obedient vsssal of
both Pierce and Buchanan. He voted steadily
for the euslavement of Kansas, though well
aware that his constituents regarded the deed
with horror. Yet, in the face of singularly
! hostile public sentiment, he is seeking the posi-.
ton OF Senator for a second term, but 80 far
with the most Indifferent prospect of success.
The Legislature, let which party prevail, will
be strongly Anti-Lecompton and if Demo.
cratic successor be chosen, he must be one of
known and trustworthy orthodoxy on this vital
question. But the chances are all the other
way. There will probably be a large Opposi-
ton majority in the Legislature, in which event
some sterling Republican, made up of head and
backbone, with the true faith as regards pro.
lection for home industry, will be chosen. The
solution of this question therefore enters large
y into the present canvass"
A great degree of interest is felt in the Con.
gressional elections in this State. In the first
district the Lscomptonites run George W 4
Walker. The Opposition run John T. Nixon,
late Speaker of the Assembly. His election is
considered certain.
In the second district, the Buchanan men
run James W. Wall, who was defeated in 1866
by MIR. Robbins, the present Republican mem
Der of that district, and can be beaten again
BY John l. N. Stratton, the Opposition nomi-
nee.
In the third district, neither party had made
nominations when this article was written, and
both were waiting to see what disposition Mr..
Adrain, the member from this district, would
make of himself.
The fourth district is at present represented
by John Huyler, Lecompton Democrat The
united Opposition have nominated T. R. Riggs
and hope to defeat Huyler.
In the fifth district, Wortendyke, present
member, has been renominated by the Shams,
and the Republicans and Americans have uni
ted upon ex-Gov. William Pennington, who will
doubtless be elected by large majority, as in
1856 the vote of the two Opposition parties
was 5000 more than that received by Mr..
Wortendyke.
Governor Banks visited the Northampton
Mass. Insane Asylum on the 9th ult., and
while viewing the inmates, Mrs. Phelps, the wo-
man who some years since was charged with
poisoning her husband, and afterwards became
deranged, seized the Governor by the arm, and
declared that she would Instantly drag him 70
execution-it was useless to resist-she was
commissioned to hang him, and must do it p
| and suiting the action to the word, she seized
him by the collar, and probably but for hi
earnest resistance and timely aid of DIR. Prince,
the Commonwealth would to-day have bean
without her chief executive magistrate.

Mr.. W. G. Bond writes of the comet from his
telescope perch in Cambridge Observatory:
Donati's comet will in few days appear
to increase rapidly in size and brilliancy. Il
SoiU be nearest the earth on the 9t1 of October,
at ichich time its 6rilliancy ,oM be nearly three
times as great as on the 23d of September, and
its distance from rs about 6fIy.two millions Of
miles ft i
According to Mr.. Halls computation, the
tail of this comet, on the 23d inst, extended to
the length of fifteen millions of miles. The
nucleus will be near the bright star Arcturus,
Oct. 9th, and nearest the earth's orbit on the
10th. ~ .s.
Some confusion seems to prevail in regard
to there being two comets, similar in appear
snce, now visible to the naked eye, but such is
not the case. Donati's, which is seen in the
northwest after sunset, is the same which has
been seen in the northeast before sunsise in
the morning. This is owing to the considerable
northern declination of the comet, with right
ascension differing but little from that of the
sun. l mention this because have had sever.
al letters from different parts Of the country,
making the inquiry whether there are two
comets now to be seen by the naked eye.
"Encke's comet is barely visible to the naked
eye. Tuttle's third comet of 1858 can now be
seen only with the assistance of telescope.

Mr. Minturn tells plain unvsrnished tale of
what he saw in countries constantly talked
about, but little understood. The main part
he spent about six months, Just before the break
ing out of the insurrection. he is a quick OBJ
server and pleasant writer, and has condensed
large amount of interesting information in
small space, without annoying one by common
place reflections. The closing chapters on In
