William Lloyd Garrison, on the evening of the 27th
ult., delivered a lecture at the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn. His subject was " The North Victorious,"
in contradistinction from Wendell Phillips's address
" The South Victorious." Mr. Garrison, after briefly
reviewing the effects of the war, and expressing
his delight at having at. last witnessed the
fall of slavery, proceeded to attack the policy
and character of President Johnson, who had Mr. Garrison said, " defiantly arrayed himself against

attempted to bully Congress
imperious demands, and for whatever of violet' ce, tumult,
or confusion may grow out of his high-handed order, the
dread responsibility will rest exclusively upon his own
head." Referring back to the speech of the President on
Washington's birthday, Mr. Garrison said—" That speech,
for its indecency, bombast, malignity, and treasonable
leaning, no words can fitly characterise, and for that
and other weighty reasons, he (the President) ought to
be indicted by that grand inquest, the Federal House
of Representatives, tried by the Senate, and, for the
peace and safety of the country, dismissed from office."
Mr. Garrison stigmatised the President's censure of
Sumner and Stevens as an artful attempt to imperil
their lives by assuming to be in danger of his own. Of
the President's censure of Congress, the speaker
said : "He dares to brand Congress as a disloyal body. He
means, if he dared, to perform a coup d'etat, and either to
insist at the point of the bayonet upon having Southern
rebels put into Congress or drive Congress out of the capi-
tal." Mr. Garrison was also severe upon Secretary Seward,
saying ho might better have died under the dagger of
Payne, the Mak4iill.
