Thi? triumph in Illinois has l?e?yi cifcctccT hy a renunciation of the principles of his party, and is. in fact a triumph over | llie Administration, tin- avowed exponent of its i creed. His sueeess so far from allaying will tend to aggravate the divhimi* of tin* jiartv, ' and lie is not the in.in, to reunite it scattered forces: "tfirst, with regard to Mr. 1 tonkins.

The fiffiit f.atuie of this alleged I triuph, the feature which, it is assumed, makes Mr. Douglas henceforth tho arbiter of the Don ocratic party, is embodied it appears, in his defeat of the Administration, and tin Adniiuisi ist ration, loo wliieh it recognized a# the representative a .d executive head of the principles an?l liplicy ofihe 1>? inoerat ie party. | 'J.8y, if the A<|iuiiiiBtratii>n and the hulk of (lie Democratic party fuipport ing it were on* iiihilnietf hv this Illinois elect ion thera would lie fpnie decree of phiitglhiiily i:? ihiAe Douglas 1 rejoicings; lint, in point ol fact, all that Mr. l>(Aiglu? has gained (if he lin?rgaiuod even this) islUft re electron to tlie^Senale. "The important js3lf?t?hetlier he or ilie Administration is the ho<ia:otjhe Democratic party of tlw Union re- | mniri'4 fls before?on the side Tif the Administration. Nor can we imagine how a factious rebellion, which has given every Northern Stale to tliu opposition, Including even Illinois upon , her .Stale ticket?a rebellion which has hopelessly distracted I lib Democratic party in the North, anil ilinost hopelessly demoralized its leaders in llie South?can he considered as Involving, in the re-e ect.ion gf Douglas to the j Senate, tliu uirion of the Democracy upon this man?tho hrud of ?hi* rebellion?as their inevitable and only available candidate for the next l'readency. And thus we apprehend that tho defeat of Douglas i* Illinois would have been better for liiuj^AS o'deuuicrul, than his success, llis sue?-c8s enc<yirages the rebellion and the discords -which JieJius created in tho_ party enmp; but not untiflii* t>romin?ntf?Jl lowers, such as Walk, er, Stanton, Forney, Clark nod lUskin shall luivo risen to . th? position of loaders of the liarmonixedydewvcjro'y, will Dougjas be resto red'totliif'paftitioii whicji he has lost.

A half ton of cotton seed sent out by _the Man- I Chester (Enif ') Cotton Suiinlv Association, has also oltYruil prizes for tlie production of cot- ! ton, which Mr. Benson thinks will operate as a ' stiong stimulus to its cull ivation.
