Va The rebel sympathizers about Wash
ington were boasting the other day, after
Grant pushed Hancock and Warren across
the North Anna, that "Lee had got Grant
just where he wanted him. They were
amazingly tickled at their own wisdom
and at what they considered the brilliant
prospects Of their traitorous friends. We
don't pretend to know what Lee wanted .
We are not in hisconfidenre. But it seems
pretty certain now, that if Grant was
''where Lee wanted him." at present he
must be where he don't want him. These
Washington traitors didn't see how Grant,
out of that move, should be able to swing
his whole army to the rear of Lee across
the Pamunky, and beyond all the defences
on that line against which he might have
beaten himself in vain. If they told the
truth, Grant out-generaled Lee terribly
Whether they did or not, Grant has got
his heel in the ground within five miles
Of Richmond. The grand wrestle will
come of, not in the woods. bnt in the open
country around the capital Of "Old vir-
ginia.'' Do they think their prospects i'm
proved by the advance? .g7r

Ia John Cochrane in his speech on IA.
king the Chair at the Cleveland Conven.
ton took occasion to characterize the Com.
mittee Of the "War Democracy Of New
York, as "a Committee without = constitu.
ency." That was an injudicisns blunder Of
Johns. Considering the nerdre Of the call
under which his audience was assembled.
it was . most unhappy reference. The
Convention he was called to preside over
may have had very numerous constitu-
ency. But certainly we, in these parts,
have no means of arriving at such knowl-
edge. Itwas not wise to talk about con-
stituencies to men who represented, SO far
as the public can judge, themselves only.
If John don't display more tact we are
afraid he will hurt his prospects. He must
be more cautious. 1t will never do to con-
demn others for doing precisely what he
was doing himself. That is highly impol-
itic. Dom. be 50 rash again, John. n

H. The Rtchmono papers tell their
readers that Grant has been retreating and
Lee pursuing him, ever since the campaign
opened. Lee has been winning brilliant
victories and Grant enduring inglorious
defeats at every step, and the rebels there
fore have excellent cause to congratulate
themselves on the practical results Of the
contest! According to their logic Lee il
driving Grant straight into Richmond. and.
we presume, intends to shut him up in
Libby Prison very speedily. If they don't
mean exactly that, we are unable to COM
prehend what they do mean. Grant cer-
tainly is now occupying position very
close to that city. He evidently intends to
capture it, if he can, notwithstanding Lees
opposition. If he has been retreating. as
they say, he has retreated forward all the
time, and has got himself close to it sooner
than Mcclellan got his army TO Yorktown.
If he continues retreating with the same
how long will it be before he re-
treats right into and through il? We are
not given to boasting. We know there is

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWKEYE

~ AVAIAAN0 AO%S -
Masonic of our papers are undertaking
to demonstrate that Wendell Phillips Is 9
"croaker," man without ballast" They
take trouble to denounce him and warn
the public against trusting to his political
guidance. Was ever anything more alb
surd?
For our part, we think Wendell Phillips
one of the necessities Of the hour. He is a
man Of mental, moral and politico-theo-
retical sagacity. He IS honest, able, elo-
quent. He speaks what he believes. nand
believes very little that is not true, logical
and right. He is infinitely superior as a
man, to any and all in, the country who
are classed as politicians, or even states
men. Phillips is neither the one nor the
other. He could not possibly be either
He naturally and inevitably despises both
as much as his nature can despise any
portion of humanity. He thinks they are
creatures that crawl, where men ought to
walk proudly erect. He can't understand
them, and he therefore condemns them by
wholesale. He does not distinguish be-
tween those who mean well and do well,
according to their ability, and those who
do and mean the reverse. In his view all
are bad who do not, simply because they
cannot, come up to his standard. od
Such men as Phillips we cannot do with
out They lead the van Of human pro-
gress. With them, to discover an evil is
to denounce and oppose it. They are quick
to discover and jealous in their condemna
ton Of them. They make no terms, sub
NIT to no conditions, and refuse to parley
with the wrong. In short they cannot be
politicians. They never have any party.
They never guide their own public. Their
function is to declare the principles ofthe
future. They are the pioneers who find
the path, but not the Generals who lead
the army ofthe present.
How preposterous it is to seek in any
mode, to lessen the influence of such men !
Influence is all they have, and that intlu-
ence is all Of the indirect, intangible sort,
though, ultimately, it does not fail to pro-
duce lasting effects. They are not, and
never can be the immediate leaders of the
people. They are too distant from the
mass Of men to be that. The leaders are
those. who come between-who see the
right, and possess the talents of marshall
ing the way towards it,-who know the
weakness Of ordinary human nature, and
only demand Of it what it is able to give
who do not ask that we run before we are
able to walk,-who are contented to move
onward step by step, and who make each
step sure one.
There is no danger that the influence of
Phillips will do harm. It does good all
the time, and cannot do otherwise. If he
out of his proper domain, and at
tcmpts to be practical, he is still servicea-
able. He thereby only makes more evil
dent to all the necessity of Preaching his ends
by routes the public can travel. Do let
Phillips alone. He is our prophet, but not
our leader.
