From whatever cause j! has happened, po!iti-
cal debates during the present yuar hare t.
sumed in considerable degree, their normal
character, and while loyal Reputlicans have
adhered to the new banner OF the Union
party, the Democratic party has Ialli'd and
made a vigorous cnnvaRa with a view To the
recovc. OF its former. political ascendancy.
LOYAL Democrats III considerable nuLlber re-
tanning the nalns Of Democracy from habits,
and not bccanse they opposed The Union, aIr
classified by the other party II "dppositlon. !"
1t is not necessary for The information 0i CIR
Representatives abroad that should descend
into any examination Of the relative princi-
pies or policies Of the two parties. IL will suf-
flee to Say that while there may be men Of
doubtful political wisdom and virtue in each
party, and while there may be differences OF
opinion between the woSpartles, as to the
measures best calculated to preserve The
Union aud restore its kutRority, yet it is not
to be inferred that either party, or any con-
siderable portion OF the people OF The loyal
States, is disposed to accept disunion under
any circumstances, or upon any terms 1t Is
rather to be UNDERWOOD That the people have
beculne so confident Of the stability of; the
Union that parizan combinations are resiia,
ihg their sway here, ss they do in such cases
in kll free countries. In this country, esps-
cially, it is habit not only entirely consIs-
toni with the Constitution, but even essen
tial IL tho stability, to regard the Admins
tration at any time existing as distinct and
separuble from the Government itself, and to
canvass the proceedings OF tl,s one without
the thought of disloyally to the other. We
might POSSIBLY have had quicker success in
suppressing the insurrecion if this habit
could have rested a little longer in abeJsnce;
but on the other hand, we hrs under obliga-
tons to save not only the integrity or uniy
Of the country, but also its inestimable and
precious Constitution. No Que can safely
sny that tho resumption OF the previous popu-
lar habit does moi tend to this last and most
important consulunstion, if ut the Same time,
as We conlihentlY expect, tho Union ilsel

they have, If their commerce ls endangered,

the commerce of Europe before tho attitude
of neutrality was adopted. Then it was said

SECRETARY sEvARD's PHILOSOPHY on THE NEW
YORK ELIcTluN.
DEPARTMENT or STATE, WASHINGTON, Nov.
10, l862.-Sir: 1t is probable that the ground
which the enemies Of thG Union in Europe
will next assume, in profecuting their war
against it, will be an alleged detection &C
popular support Of the Government mt the
elections recently held III the loyal States.
Tho reports Of the results OF these elections in
the forms adopted by the press are calculated,
though not designed, to give plausibilily 10
this position. | observe that these reports
classify tn, members Of Congress chosen as
Union ard Democratic, or Union and Opposi-
ton. Such cla'siications, though unfortunate,
do less harlu hore, where oil the circumstan-
cos of the case are known, than abroad, where
names are understood to mean what they cx-
press.
Last year, when the war began, The Repub-
Gcans, who were the plurshty of electors
gave up their party name, and, joining with
loyal Democrats, put in nomination candi'
dates CT their party under the designation OF
Il Union party. The Democratic party made
but a spiritless resistance in the canvass
