Great interest is felt throughout the country,
in tie elections to be held THIS week The
South have an interest in them little inferior to
tha. at Tie North, as they nope to Gnd such a
division o! public sentiment in the loyal States
as will hopcIessly raraIyze the arm Of the Ma
'or al Government, and ether permit the rebel
States, as maynard sisters " to - depart in
peace or allow them 20 dictate terms to the
North. Dat Of New Eogland, it is not easy to
predict the results. Massachusetts will stand
siTmly by the Administration, aud uphold the
hands Of those lighting in the field. Beyond
this, the great number OF voters absent IN the
army sets at defiance all calculations. The
friends of the Government are thoroughly awake,
and working with zeal and fidelity and en-
elgy, that deserve success. But the opponents
Of the Administration, are employing every
agency IN their power to defeat the Union can
diiates, and may succeed to some extent. We
have c1nhdeac2, however, that those opposed to
the war, and in sympathy with the rebels, will
meet with 30 decided or general success, but
chat the North as Whole, will still stand by a
vigorous prosecution Of the war.
