1asliarThe Day or Reckoning.
iifhe Nav Y Yprk Times, of the 18th inst,
under the foregoing heading, contains
an artiole designed as warming to its
party-the Republican party, in Con-
gress-of Che coming day OF reckoning,
and what is required Of the Republican
Congress ere it adjourns. It says that
tHe elections this fall will turn less
upon the war than upon taxation-less
Upon occurrences that are over, than
upon the will and the ability to intro
duce more economy, more honesty. more
efficiency into the various departments
of Government Hence. members of
Congress must expect to encounter new
ordeal. The consistency of their Re-
publicanism will be their prin,a .facie
title SO "a fresh endorsement; but the
qualifications which will servo them best
are'to be derived, from the intelligence
end. effect with which they strive to en-
largefthe mission of their party, and to
adopt it to the present wants and pur-
poses Of the people. The party must
keep! pace with time or pay the penalties
of defeat; and they are its truest friends
who insist that the session shall not close
until the majority who are responsible
for its action shall have evinced their
estimate of needed reforms, and their
determination to make these reforms es-
sential features of the party's future
course -
l The Times is wise counsellor to it's
party; not that its advice is given with
an eye to the public good, but that it is
given with the view Of perpetnating the
power which its party now possesses. and
which for years it has exercised to that
end. But for this, we might say the
Times is good counsellor. Party sue
cess, however, being its chief aim, the
term aoa,.y, instead of good, is more ap-
plieable to- it. y In the foregoing the
reader will perceive it warns its readers
that the fall elections North will turn
s'less upon aoar than upon tanation; less
upon occurrences that are over, than
upon the will land the ability to intro
duoe more economy, more honesty, more
efficiency into the various departments
of the Government" And SO they will.
The indications are plain all over the
West and North, that those tests will
moro generally apply to candidates for
Congress from those sections than the
war. and negro tests. But the latter are
fast playing out, and if tho Democratic
party there will be yigilant, united and
wise, seeing as it onght to see, that those
new tests will enter into the elections,
not all the admonitivns of the Times,
nor its counsels, be they heeded or not,
can prevent the accession into the next
Congress of a large number of Demo
Gratis, probably enough to change the
present political aspect of the House,
from which will spring another new era
more promising than the one which is
now upon the country.
