bling around him in the vulgar quarrel of party.
The letter has at length appeared and it bears the
marks of the strong and peculiar writer So far
as he is right he goes on like war elephant,
bearing down whole ranks before him, tossing
squadrons upon his ivory usks, and dscomfting
whole hosts with his tremendous pro boscis, while
from his castellated back armed men shower jave
ms. But he has, in his worldly WISDOM proclaimed
heretofore that slavery in the District ough not to
be Immediately abolished. He could not adopt the
vulgar ultraism of the abolitonists. He could
appreciate the right of the Anglo-Saxons of Massa
chusetts 1t was connected with politics, and seats
of government and national declarations. The
minor right, of the slave in the District to LIBERTY
he could not value That he can see taken away.
And when he to talk of that, he like Samp-
son after his hair was cut,-by so much the weak
er than common weakness, as he is stronger than
common strength, when be is in the right. Will
liam Goodell has taken up his reply TO him, which
will make Mr.. Adams feel a great deal worse
than Andrew Jacksons election to the Presidency.
That we may presume he did not care deeply
about
Goodcll has reluted and exposed Mr. Adams in
plain, argumentative form. He had to write ire
mednous long letter to do this Mr. Adams was so
entirely wrong and his error was so commonplace,
that Goodell had to waste an immensely of words
to give HIM formal retutatlon. We did not pub
fish Mr. Adams letter. Goodell's contains enough
of it to show its drift. The reader of GoodelPs
will understand it quite as well as if he had read
it,-better than if he had read that alone We
publish Goodes by parts and exhort our readers
to give it calm perusal, tits a powerful produc-
ton and displays the writer's distinguished pow
ers ofargument. 1t abounds with proof of the
wonderful steadiness and clearness with which he
can hold his adversary all up before him, and see
the whole of him, and whereabouts lay the weak
and vicious parts ofhis reasoning. We pity Mr.
Adams-but it can't be helped now. Let great
men lay aside their pride and they would escape
these pit falls.--Herazd Of Freedom.

Wendell Phillips.

We wish we could introduce this peerless young
Bostonian to the free labor ant-slavery New Hamp-
shire Born and bred of the flower of that proud
ctys aristocracy, he is the friend and the brother
of the colored people and the aboitionists. His
father, John Phillips, was, we believe the sponta-
neously selected first mayor of the city. When
the naughty to1on first took upon itself the more
metropolitan name of city, who for lord mayor,
but John Phillips, the representative of all that
was cityish and ancient and honorable in this
New-Engand London. Wendell is his son
and he is rare instance the union of princely
rank with talent and the personal grace and ac-
complishment that can adorn it. And where do
we find this young star of arstocracy? Shot
down from his lofty orbit in the milky way of van
ity's Skies and coursng in the depths of abolition
sofas of the Otses, Searses and the what-not mac
cessibles of Beacon street, or parading the flags
of Pearl street with the mindless heir-apparents,
you find him obscured with Garrison, in the depths
of Nassau Court, beyond the explorations of the
butchers cart and the hally-boat man, or going
arm in arm with Oliver Johnson to an anti-slave-
ry meeting in Belknap street or madam Parkman's
stable, the Chardon Street Chapel. This is the
young Pitt who struck James r. Austin with
lightning in Fanui Hall,when that base and bloody
minded man attempted to throw over the modern
mob and the murderers of Lovejoy the mantle of
the revolution, and the same that hailed the COL
ored man in afectionate and fratcrnal accents, as
brother Cole the other day, in the thronged as
sembly of the New England Convention. We
heard his beautiful farewell address, and were the
more astonished at it, that it was unprecedented.
In the forenoon Garrison proposed that some res
outions be prepared connected with Phillips con-
tempated voyage to England, to be offered in the
afternoon, that might call on him for a farewell
address to his an-slavery brethren and sisters be-
fore crossing the water. This was probably the
first intimation of it to Mr.. Phillips, who was
present, one of the committee, and he had only a
few hours to think on what topics he should speak.
The reporter has given his words, but could not
give the tones, the spirit the manner, the person.
He has gone and the the besseing of Almighty
God be upon him on the sea and in the old land
to which he goes-the land of Westminster Abb
hey, of Thompson and O'Connell.-HeraM Of

To Political PartiZanS.

When we accuse both political parties of hav'
ing sold themselves to the Shareholders, we are
very far from charging every supporter or even
Jealous supporter, of his partys standard with
having personally ratified the bargain. The mi
guilty is chargeable mainly upon the party leaders
Hosts off good men are attached to both parties who
abominate the veto pledge of Mr.. Van Buren, and
the cowardly dcspotism confessed by MIR, Clay.
What we wish them to consider, is, whether in
national politics the ends which :hey propose,
tanned while Shareholders maintain their present
supremacy? Does it make one hairs difference
to the country whether it is under wing or demo-
cratic control, so long as knot of aristocrats of
the most ultra-tory stamp actually govern it I!

capes which we remember to have read -
Remarkable EScape.-On the passage of the
ship Anaxander, from New Orleans to New York,
young lad of about fourteen years, from natural
lrolicksome and mischievous disposition, became
so troublesome in his pranks, that it was threaten
ed by the Captain if they were continued, that he
would confne him in water cask. Our young
ster took no heed however, and at the next offence
was put in the cask, which was headed up, leav-
ing large bung-hoe for the admission ofair That
night the ship encountered violent storm and in
a sudden urch, the cask containing the boy rolled
INTO the sea. The circumstance was not no.
ticed by those on board. Fortunately the cask
struck bung up, and foated thirty hours, when it
was thrown upon the Beach at Cape St. Bias
Here the boy made desperate efforts to extricatc
himself from his prison without success, and in
despair gave up TO die. Some COWS however
strong over the Beach, were attracted to the casL
and in walking around it, one of the number, it
being fly time switched her tail into the bung-h
which the lad grasped with desperate resolution
The cow beloved and set off for life, and after
running some two hundred yards with the caSk,
struck i: against log on the beach, and knocked
it as we say, into a cochd hat. The boy thus
provdentially released was discovered by some
fisherman on the point and taken into ApaachicoIa,
where small collection being made for him, he
was enabled to proceed North by the way of Co.
lumbus.

chains for the limbs that are not from the most
urgent necessity necessary. 1t strives to improve
the social and moral condition of man, by appeals
and arguments addressed in the spirit of love to
his highest and noblest faculties.-Bay State
