II is no longer doubtful that the Executive
means to make q determined c!fort during the
summer md full, In every Northern Stale, to
prevent The triumph Of the opponents Of bis
policy in tile coming Slate md Congressional
elections. Gradually the tactics, to be follow.
ed by him to attain this purpose, become DIS
closed. The Republicans throughout the
proper preparation to 1aeet tue emergency,
Dipsde It impera Is to be the Presidents rule
Of action. Let the friends Of the good cause
he on their guard against the disrupting inlu.
ences that arc to be brought to bear on their
ranks. The Preaidential cahal Is steadily at
work, and 1t will require the utmost vigilance
and ea1nestness to defeat It's !naeh1nasions. :,
The Systematic attempts Of the Executl ", BY
various manitestos, vttos and speeches, to win
the support OF tho mass Of the Republican
Union party, have s'gnallg failed The loyal
people naye fully realized his unexampiea
treacherE1 his fragrant Inconsistency his

the Federal officers did he find willing sup
porte1s as generally as he had expected. Dis
pArfpE ot success by the mode Of operation
pursued By him during the tall and winter, he
changed It for another, that he has been per-
sistenily following for some time. It Is to
the Union party-the men that fought the
war for the preservation Of the Government
In The lo5al aEfnies-by seeming partially for
them in the distribution Of the Federal pat-
fonnge. The circular, issned by him some
weeks ago to the heads Of Departments, re"
posnt1nents to mcritoglous soldiers, was tho
inst step in carrying ont this programme. The
late NUMEROUS nominations Of eI-otllccEs for
offices Of high responsibility and great proat
throughout The country, have a! been made
in further pursuance OF It. 81 this apparent
who risIed their lives iu defence of their
country,s he 5cxpects not 0nly to attain
popularity, but also to fol- the efforts
Of the Senate to check his abuse
Of the appointing power for the
purpotc Of corruptiug aud disrupting the
Union party BY retnsios to confirm big
minfons. For the senate cannot, of course,
iui services in the army during the rebellion
without making itself liable to the charge Of
Injustice to truly deserving men. Every one
OF these military appointees IS expected to
become at once hearty enaofset OF and
worker for the Presidents policy, and to
draw of from the Republicans more OF less
soldiers votes. This new Executive game Is
certainly shrewd one. 1t remains to be
seen whether 1t will be successful, and Wheth.
er selfish interests will overcome the intellf-
gent, discerning, fncoTuptible patriotism
that distinguished most Of the mcn that
maintained IN honorable position In the army
10 the close Of the war. do not belicye that
many true patriots Of this class will dim
theIf record by thus becoming subservient
tools of the ExecutiEe; but that, while pro-
fetstDr general benevolcnce for the soldiers. the
President Will bring into Office mostly soldiers
Of the Mcclellan and McCleTna5d school, who r.
uolrish the vilest Coppelheadlsm under tile
United Statcs uniform. That they Fill en-

States. at the elections get to be held the pre-
seat year, cannot now be foreseen but that
1t viii endnnger the success Of the liepubli-
cans In mora than one State, seems not im-

TIE HALT IN TIE 'EKSAToR1AL ELECTION IN
CONNECTICUT.
The news Of the attempt Of the Adml1is-
tration to reproduce in Connecticut the VII
iaInous cabal, by which, through the agency
Of scoyI, the election of Republican se,a.
tor Wus prevented in New jersey, has created
the most intense excitement among the sadi-
cal meuhers of both Houses. Senator Dixon
prociaitns with the effrontery OF genuine
ro.uery, that be brought about tho singala!
complication Of affairs at New Haven, and
boasts Of his ability to control the Senatorial
/ election. The most unpleasant reports
