e BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE.

10 Some people seem anxious to make
a mountain out Of the fact that Gen. Meade
has retired from the bank Of the Rapidan
to the line of the Potomac. They seem re-
solved to magnify this movement into
disaster, if possible, and, as is the custom
with Butternuts, are gloating over the ina
ginary reverse. It may be as well to say
that this movement of Meade's has been
contemplated, as we are we'll assured, ever
since a portion of the army was sent to
Rosecrans,-that he is only doing now what
has for some time been intended. The
movement itself, is therefore, without any
significance whatever. That Lee follows
him is thing of course. That there will
be any great battle depends upon facts Of
which we have no knowledge. If Lees
army has been largely reinforced, possibly
he will try the Maryland movement again.
But we think he has not been. And we
therefore believe that he will be quite anx-
ious to avoid any general engagement.
If Lees army is increased to an extent
that will justify new attempt on Wash
ington by the way of Maryland, it must be
ny tue return Vi tuo lOTCcS SelC ny ulul W
the assistance of Bragg. This is not likely.
The rebel success under Bragg is of more
Importance to them than any possible vic
tory they can hope for about Washington.
Still, they may have made the move, hope
ing to override Meade on the Rapidan.-
But since he has retired securely from that
position, it is probable that their scheme is
already defeated, and that nothing but vain
demonstrations will result on the part of
Lee.
But these things show us that our army
ought to be increased-thatitsran ranks should
be filled up so that we may be able to over
whelm the rebels in Virginia and Georgia,
however much they may be concentrated
in either locality. If we do that, we need
make no backward movements at any
time. Until we do it, one of our armies
must continue on the defensive.

rs The Cincinnati Gazette saws that il
seems probable that the Ohio Senate will
be unanimously Union. Only one Copper.
head traitor has majority on the home
vote and that is small one, and likely to
be drowned out by the soldiers vote when
it comes in. If so, then the Senate will be
uncontaminated by the presence of soil
tary traitor. What a glorious result is
that? What State will be able to exhibit a
similar fact? We do not remember any.
But we should be happy to chronicle the
fact of all. And we should be, but for the
gross deception practiced upon the people
by the gang who like serpents have crawl
ed through, slime into positions they dis
grace.

Esss~ we understand that the editors OF
the Chicago Times are sorely afflicted bv
the result of the late elections. They an
pear to be insane with rage at the terrible
condemnation the people have visited upon
the foul faction for which they write and
print. We are not surprised at this. Wa
know just how much regard the villains
have tor the people. OF course we neve,
expect them to approve Of the decisions q,
the people unless that decision conforms
to their dictation. In such case only do
they even profess to have respect for it
But we can learn one thing from the wri.
tings of the Copperhead Times. 1t is a
good index to the effect these elections
have upon its rebel masters. We NAV
safely assume that the traitors in Dixie will
feel hurt just as much as this Northern
servant of theirs. The Times is in deep
affiiction. That of the rebels we may be
sure is equally profound. We like to see
it rave.

THE GREYBEARD REG1MEST.-The 37th
regiment Iowa Infantry, the Greybeards,
stationed at Alton, Ills, voted last Tues
day. A letter from member of it, a
resident OF this county, informs US that the
total vote was ISL. OF these Stone received
9s7 and Tuttle A. He tells us that forty
counties are represented in the regiment.
Out of twenty-five votes cast for the Des
Moines county ticket twenty-four were
for the Union candidates. Don't Tuttle
run well in the army! What haul the
Copperheads made by their attempted
fraud! If they thought the soldiers were
blind, we guess they are now satisfied that
no one but the snakes have hoods over
their eyes. i,.-,..... 'la'.t

WHAT WAS ExPECTRD.-The following
extract from the comments of the New
York Herald on the recent elections may
satisfy some people, who will not believe US,
of the terrible reeults which have been
averted by the decisive action of the peo-
pie at the Polls. The issue decided was
Union or Disunion. The people say they
mean to maintain the Union against all as
saults. Even the Herald sees that. It
also perceives that the traitor programme
is utterly foiled, and the scheme in which
home traitors and foreign foes were united,
is now forever blasted. Who will not re-
joice that it is so? G-
The rebel papers, and the English papers,
and the French papers, have lately very
clearly indicated that the rebels at the
South and their confederates in Europe,
expected the peace or submission party to
triumph at the recent elections in Ohio and
Pennsylvania. The programme which
these people expected was: First, the sue
cess of the submission faction at the polls;
second, an armistice between the Govern
ment and the rebels; and, third, conven-
ton in which the "wayward sisters"
should either be coaxed and bribed back
into half-hearted Union, or allowed, ii
all brides were rejected, to depart IN
peace and set up an independent nation
atty. All these splendid illusions have
been rudely dispelled by the result of the
elections. The first item of the programme
has failed, and ali the rest fails with it,
The people have again emphatically an
neunced that the war for the Union must
proceed until the rebellion is subdued, and
the rebels at the South, and the rebel SYM
pathizers at the North and in Europe, have
been taught lesson which we hope they
will never forget.

@~The traitor organs appear to be in a
fog since the election. They don't know
what to do about it. They seem thunder
struck, as well they may. Some Of them,
to be sure, exhibit their fangs and hiss ven
omously. But they "gnaw against file"
They hurt no one but themselves, and how
much they hurt themselves nobody cares.
Nor will many people be anxious about
the course they may pursue hereafter
They are utterly demoralized. They are
not only condemned traitors, but demon
strated fools. The whole people now see
them as they are. Those who have fol-
lowed them thus far will now desert them
in body. They will not cling any longer
to those who are both knaves and FOOLS
Even Copperhead ingram cannot stom-
ach such double shame.

~ A great many party names have
been made obnoxious and execrable in
times past. All of them were probably
good enough of themselves. They origin
ally meant something honorable and had
some vitality in them. But the parties that
used them perverted them to base uses.--
They became reminders OF great political
ollies or crimes, and were, conseq uently
thrown aside like an old and worn out gar
ment. But of all party names none have
ever been prostituted to such infamous pur-
poses as the Democratic. It is good of it.
self. True Democracy and true Republic
canism are identical. But in these days
the word Democrat has been made syno-
nym for traitor. The leading and controll-
ing spirits of it, have proven themselves
actual and intentional traitors. The odium
they have brought upon the name cannot
be got rid if. 1t will stick like pitch and
defile all who touch it. 1t cannot do other
wise. The name, and any party that wears
it, is damned 1t ought to be. We will
all be democrats hereafter, but none will
wear the title.

The consequence is that there is more ouspoten,

when we first arrived. We were glad when Butler

would gladly have him return. He is the only man
capable Of dealing properly with Rebels.
