THE GREATNESS OF OUR TRIUMPH

Can any mortal mind estimate, at this
early day, the potent and material conse-
quences of the Overwhelming defeat which
the Coppcrheads sustained on the 9th in
slant He that undertakes to solve this
mighty problem must have mathematical
mind greater than Stafford, or more logical
and penetrating than Webster. Let 1t be
remembered that all the depraved and Vi
cious of the land from the traitor, who
hauled down the National flag to the mis-
cradle dupe of party who organized resist
ance to the national authorities, in the vain
hope of beneftting the rebels, or waited to
be drafted and then skulked away in dark
aud dismal caves, the fit haunts Of Shiny
serpents and dreary bats, or fed to Canada
opposed US that every officer from the Cab
met to the most paltry Postmaster was
frowned into the support Of the nauseahng
dose known as My Policy, and not only
this, but five per centum of his entire Off
cial salary was levied for the purpose of
prostrating the glorious privilege of suffrage

nate who reigns in Washington, and to all
this baseness and debaucheIy is to be added
the prestige of a debased and venal
adm nistration, which stretched forth Its
insinuating and lecherous hand, and made
no secret of its purpose to debauch the peo-
pie and whoedle them into the support of
measures, which would prove the suppression
of the rebellion only ruse to elevate the
! ideas Of the men who for four years waged
fratricidal war in behalf of slavery. And
in still further addition to this tie prejudice
which the laboring classes have infused and
fostered against that race Of men on this
continent, that created an sntagonistic sys
tenn of labor, was constantly, wildly and
almost frantically appealed to. Everything
that could irritate and fan this prcjudiceinto
a blaze was resorted to. Hence the cry of
Negro suffrage and Negro equality. From
one end of the State to the other the
burden of their speeches aud the spirit Of
their papers were only directed against sons
one or other, or all of the rights of the
Negro, and yet with all these tremendous,
yea hurculean efforts and influences, in
which the Constitutional Amendment was
lost sight of, the Republican party came
out gloriously triumphant Can any one
calculate the magnitude ofthe triumph, and
foretell the effect it will have upon the great
and pregnant future, we are compelled to
ask again IF the Republican party can
thus triumph in opposition to all the
influence and debauchery of corrupt
administration and the dead weight ofeighty
years of slavery, as it has done at the late
elections, there is no one can tell what is in
store for this party which has crushed
rebellion greater than any known to modern
history and liberated four millions of Slavea
With such a record as this we have every
confidence in the people, and through Him
Who rules the destinies of nations, we have
every confidence in the party.

"a body hanging on the very verge OF the

Look back over the Legislative history of
this country for fifty years and will require
no argument. Slavery robs, apparently,
the mind of all its noblcr attributes and
more dcbased by it, stands before the world
in all his naked ugliness.
We earnestly believe that the policy OF
the President means the re enslayement Of
the negro, and that he only intends to
accomplish on the inside line that which
Jefferson Davis failed to accomplish on the
out side line. We cannot be lulled TO sleep
with the cry that slavery is abolished and
that there is no use of talking about 1t, we

take all the vigilance Of the friends Of liber-
ty and law to see that the negro is not again
bound hand and foot, and the fair institu-

ed to be preparing 10 pTeclpltate violent
revolution in that State The Police Com

fully and loyalty during all the Rebellion,
have fallen under the dlSpleasurc OF the
traitor sympathizers, because they refuse to
appoint Judges Of election who viii take the
votes Of the rebels registered IN defiance OF
the Constitution and hws OF the State. lie
is therefore appealed to to remove these
Commissioners and appoint others IN their
stead, who have already been designated as
the fit agents Of Treason. Having desert
ed the people who elected him, he Is doubt
less ready to punish and prescribe them by
elevatiHg and Strengthening the Rebels
Should he decide upon this outrage, the
Police Commissioners, backed by Mayor
Chapman and the Radical loyalists OF the
State, will refuse to surrender their trusts.
At thiS jJtncture the rebels claim to hare the
promise Of Indy johnson toenoptoy force 70

State to the traitors. We do not believe
that either Swami or johnson will have the
hardIhood TO perfect this croTnlnS outrage,
though the indications that point to 1t are
numerous But should this belief be dis
appointed by the result, there will be but
one remedy left, and that is for the Mary

repudiated by the man who denounces the

are right, therefore, upon calling upon the

made to give them specimen of its op

ON THE INSIDE LINE.

Many people express great surprise at
the Presidential attitude while to US there
does not appear to be any thing so remark
ably surprising in it. Andrew johnson was
reared in slave State, with all the enormi-
ties of slavery about him. He was poor
white and as such regarded the negro from
standpoint which only Southern poor
white can regard him. And as he began to
advance and prosper he became the owner
of slaves, and learned only to treat the ne.
gro as a slave. He advocated the perpetu-
alton of slavery and demanded new guarau.
ties When Breckenridge and Douglas
were rival candidates for the Presidency he
espoused the cause of Breckenridge, who
was the embodiment of all that slavery de-
sired, while on the other hand Douglas vas
anorthern man and was suspected ofhaying
some sympathy for free labor. When the
Presidential canvas terminated in the cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln, Andy johnson
stood ready to demand as many and infa
nous guarantees for slavery as Jefferson
Davis. There was no difference of opinion
between Andrew Johuson and the arch
traitor" on that score. They entertained
the same views, but only differed in regard to
the manner of proceeding to carry them
into effect. Jeff. Davis and his immediate
followers contended that the proper course
Of procedure was to withdraw from the
