TzHE NATIONS TRIUMPH.

Gratitude to GoD, the Giyer of all good, vii
naturally be tho primary and paramount im
pulse of every patriot heart in view Of the mag
nifcent and decisive victory achieved by the
Army Of the Potomac in the battle Of Thursday.
The Rebel Army OF Virginia has been thorough
" vanquished. Probably more Of those who
composed it one week ago are now wounded or
prisoners than remain to be rallied again under
the flag Of Secession. We will not anticipate;
bnt we believe Lees Army as an effective force
has practically ceased to exist.
Rejoicing most intensely, as we do rejoice,
over this achievement for our Country's sake,
VIC glory in it also for the sake Of that heroic,
long-sufering Army of the Potomac. More
gallant soldiers, the world never saw; yet IT,
history has been so checkercd with reycrscs that
it stood grossly misjudged and underyalued al
most universally down to this week Itwasquite
generally believed unable to cope with an equal
number Of Rebels; and some OF is commanders
have seemed to share in this impression That
Army now stands nobly INDICATED. BY more
than week Of incessant combat, wherein at
least one-fourth Gifts numbers have been stricken
down, through priyation, endurance, achieve
ment, persistency, and heroic contempt OF
agony and death, it has demonstrated its right
to be deemed the peer Of any army on earth.
Till the last of its members sleeps in death, his
children will boast of their parentage as a
patent Of nobility, and glistening eyes will at
test the general admiration and love of whom
socycr may justly claim to have fought through
out the Spottsylvania battles in the Army Of the
Potomac.
20 Lieut.. Gen. GRANT the Nations love and
gratitude will he fervent and unmeasured. The
Army of the Potomac hardly knew him q month
ago; it knows him now and evermore. Had he
shared the current estimate OIL It's capacities, hl'
misconception would have been natural; but he
knew its worth instinctively, and trusted i'm
plcitly to its valor and devotion. The result
proves that he was right, and that that Army
has at last found its true leader. Let us harbo
no shadow of doubt that, under his guidance
that Army will promptly and thoroughly com
plete the work 10 which it has been called, ant
to which it has now proved itself so nobly
adapted.

The State Confederate-Dsmocratic-
Copperhead Convention meets al Indi-
annapolis to-day. Whether it will be-
large or small we cannot tell, bat every
appliance has been brought to bear to
make it respectable in numbers, though
no appliance except the omnipoteat
spirit Of the Almighty could make it re-
respectable in character.
That it viii be enthusiastic, We can
not doubt Between the inspiration of
bad whisky and the temporary success
Of the rebel raid into Maryland and the
feeble hope that Grant may be compelled
to release the grasp he has held for the
last ten days on the throat of the dying
Confederacy, it cannot possibly fail in
point OF enthusiasm. Indeed, the De
mocraey of late years have had to de-
pend on the denseness Of the clouds that
hang over the horizon Of the nation
prosperity, for courage to speak their
true sentiments.
The exultation with which they poin,
to the gold quotations, aud the undis.

Little Macs june Campaign.

The last campaign of Little Mack,
which was inaEgera.ed about thrss
weeks ago, and which was regarded as q
flank movement to capture the nomina-
ton for the Presidency, IVES brought to q
sudden, not to say . ludicrous eonclu-
sion, by the unexpected posiponsment of
the Chicago convention from the Fourth
Of July to the 18th Of August Taking
the hint from Old Abe's eleetionesring
trip to the Baltimore Sanitary Fair, the
managers Of Little Mae prepared several
smoethly-written speeches for him, and
directing him to study them by heart,
projected q summer excursion among
the hills and watering places of the East,
where, on the gentle provoeaiion Of SER
enades and spontaneous tar-barrsla, be
was charged with laborions GRAFTON to
the Names Of the. heroes of the war; and
this, By the eonnivance Of . supple parti-
san, he was allowed to deliver over
consecrated plateau ct West Point.
Though uttered in apparent honor of the
dead, II was concoeted solely for the adj
vansemsnt of the living, aad ths heroic
shades were invoked from their repose,

remain quieseent until about the middle
of August next, when the Admiration
Club may be expected to trot him out
again. It is not likely be will have the

A Copperhead and a Demagogue.

Hon. Lazarus w. Powell, Senator
from Kentucky, while in our city on Sun
day, on bis way home from Washington,
said in a mixed crowd, as we are told,
II tell you this whole war debt is going to
be rspudiated--every cent of IT, II is in
the hands Of the wealthy capitalists, and
the people are not going to have their
horses and cows sold and their farms
mortgaged, TO pay them what they can
well enough do without"
In the same connection, and not Eve
minutes afterwards, be denounced the
new income tax Law as the greatest out
rage ever perpetrated in the form Of
law--deelaring that it levied q tax of
ten per cent. upon all incomes over $500,
and that those upon whom ii was i'm posed
would not bear il.
Thus the vile demagogue and mslig-
nant Copperhead seeks to turn every
thing to account in his relentless warfare
upon the Government lie would set
the rich against il by appeals to their
sordid avarice, and the poor, by exciting
their prejudices against the rich. He
would reduce the Republic to anarchy in
the hope Of demonstrating the Demo
cratic party (the rebel portion Of it in
cludsd) upon the ruins. Well be knsws
that the best means Of accomplishing his
purpose, the most fatal blow he can
strike the Government, the greatest aid
he can give bis rebel friends, il to i'm.
pair the confidence that now everywhere
exists in the public faith, the national
honor, and the integrity Of the American
people. Let it once be believed that il
is possible that our national debt may b.
repudiated, and submission to : dissolu
ton Of the Union, or the restoration o.
the rule Of the traitors, is unavoidable
In this connection let 1t not be forgot
ten that this threat of Reputation is tn,
logical consequence Of the Democratic
doctrine of the right of secession Stand
ing with his party upon the doctrine
Mr.. Powell holds, Of course, that tn
war debt, like the war itself, is unconsti
tutional and must be rspudiatsd Tn,
only condition precedent is that the Dem
ocratic party shall get into power.
