It has portrait o. WENDELL PHILLIPS, one OF
the most eloquent leaders OF the party, etched By
]. Andrews from Daguerreotype by Sosthwo.tn,
which presents fac-simile Of ais keen intellec-
tual expression. Tbs face corresponds entirely
with his style Of oratory.
The writers show their usual clcarness and full
possession Of their g,ound. Even th-so pieces,
which have little merit in point Of talent, please
by their distinct cnunci4tion of principles
Elizabeth Pease, a valued English friend to the
cause, observes, although 20 but few it may Be
given TO be the uoices of the world, TO starte
mankind By the enunciation of some new and
earnest thought, or even 10 act on the universal
mind BY bringing to light some long concealed
gem from tie treasury of Truth, yet, 70 all of US
belongs the power OF determining Of what voices
we Will be The echo-to what principles we will
lend the influence CT our example and the atvo-
cacy Of our lips" And to this responsibility the
writers before us have been faithful, so that their
words are the echoes of individual conscience,
individual mind. They seem happy in the con-
sci7usuess which Lowell thus finely expresses:
Lore, Faith, and Pence. Thy 1ilics three,
Bloom on u single hearts fraii stem
Tint dares Truths UNPAID bcnGnHn he -
Though Unbe!e's blssk winter freeze,
Thy quiet sunshine fences these.
Ole OF the mos. interesting features Of the
beck consists in TIC contributions Of the men OF
color. These not Only compare very !.volaby
with those peaned by while hands, but-whcn we
see such rapid progress as in the case OF Doug
lass, who was ''only six years s.nce q fugitive
from Southern cornfsld"-are the most unan-
swerable arguments in favor of the capacities
Of the African race. Thar Claims need no hr.
gument.
