From the Richmond Inquirer, Sep. Z.
The approaching session of the United
States Congress will be one of no ordinary
interest. During its elaboration, the Presi-
dental campaign of 1864 will be marked out.
Political parties will, in the next session of
Congress, arrange the platform of principles
that each will advocate before the people, as
well as unmask the gross corruptions that
the war has produced. The contest for the
Speakership of the House of Representatives
will be one of great excitement ; if the Demo-
crates are successful, their Speaker will have
the arrangement and appointment of the vari-
GUS committees which prepare business for
the House, as well as of all those investigar
ting committees on the conduct of the war,
the corruption of contracts, the suppression
of newspapers, and the arrest and imprison-
ment of individuals.
The reports of these committees will form
the groundwork of the next Presidential
campaign. Should Meade be driven into
Washington, and the capitol of the United
States be beleagured by the Confederate army,
the conduct of the war will receive blow
from which neither Vicksburg nor Port Hud.
SON can relieve it. If the Administration
should find its army in the third year of the
war shut up in Washington, Mr.. Lincoln
message would be deprived of all its gloriR-
cation over the summers campaign. His
management of military affairs will stand a
confessed failure, and his nnftness for the
position Of Comnander-in-chief viii become
