Movements I'm POJiIlcs.

The United States, for abonr twelve months
prrc~dlug presidential election, presents spec
tacle which increases daily in interest until the
de Is cast, md the successful candid induct-
ed into the White House at Washington.
Thr mtrigues OF the wire Hers the shut NO
and shifting OF political parties, the marching
aud counter-marching, the false attacks and the
real MT cks, the retreats and advances, and all
the petty movements which politicians resort to
for the purpose of advancing the cause to which
they are attached, irrespective oft e public veal,
are completely unknown to the people at large,
and would, if presented to them in all their naked
drformity, astonish and amaze them. The cur
tain once lifted, light would shine in, and the
picture presented to their gaze would amuse and
at the same time horrify them.
We have long contemplated lifting this cur
tain, difficult though we knew the task to be
but we think we procure lever which will
accomplish it, We are making arrangements to
station in the capital of every State in the Union,
and will extend them TO the territory as
soon as peace is declared, TO have in our own
employment a special and confidential cores
pondent, we'll acquainted with the movements
of the politicians and who, having no interest
with any party farther than to obtain from it
inkllngs of its Screenings, will detail to us, in
the form of correspondence, all the manGuvres
which all parties, through their leaders, will re-
sort to during the coming canvass to deceive
and dazzle the people out of the man of their
choice, and elect their own especial, favorite if
they These arrangements will soon be
completed.
In the meantime, we give in to-day's paper
letter from Pennsylvania, one from Ohio, two
from Massachusetts, and so on, which detail
few Of the secret workings of the politicians in
those States, and open to view the work for the
people for the next twelve months.
