THE ELECTIONS OF 1864.
What are their Portents !?
The Elements by Which they
Will BE Resolved Examined.

The time is at hand whom it will be i'm
perative for all who are unwilling that the
governing power Of this country should
remain in the hsrds of the present adj
ministrat,on and their supporters, after the
4th of March next, to take effective mea-
sures for preventing it. What shall these
measures be? and is there a reasonable
probability that well devised measures
skillfully executed will attain the result
desired? 80
close, .dispassionate, and intelligent
examinatisn of the present condition of
the country of parties, ard of individual
sentiment outside of parties, will resolve
these questions, and show an attainable
result in harmony with the we'll being OF
our country. And that well>beinS re-
qures that the governing power of this
land should be placed in hands more com,
petent to weld il, than those in whom it
now is
The two leading facts first to oe consid-
cred are, that nearly the entire governing
power of this country is in the hands Of
two great parties. which are, in numerical
strength, nearly equal. The leadership
and control OF one OF them is principally
in the hands Of the cabinet Of the admin
isi.atiCn at Washington: a few presses, and
a few individuals, outside the cabinet, hold
and WELD part Of the influence of that
party, but the members Of Congress of
that party, though pas.onately devoted 10
It's interests, hold little or noue Of il; and
i. will be seen presently, they ought not
to, and That the fault OF being in that po-
sition is entirely their swa. The fact that
hands the control of the armies and the
public treasure OF the nation is source
both Of strength and of weakness, and
whether II shall prep cuie-ate as an ele
men. of strength, or as an element o.
weakness, depends upon the in.ellige-cc

session we cannot disregard the wise in.
