would not limp so as to become laughing

fess that love the man, although cannot

limits his usefulness by his fierce warfare
against men and measures that are too long
or too short for his iron bedstead.
Mr.. Phillips is a man of fortune, and Of
the distinguished few who contribute to sup
port the enterprise in which he feels an in
terest as much as he cxpends in sustaining
himself and family. Physically he is no
bic specimen of man. His head is sparing-
ly covered with reddish hair
"Tho golden treasure nature showers down
On those foredoomed TO wear famc's golden
crown"
A Phrenologist would pronounce his head
worth more than the South would be willing
or able to give for il. lie has large idealily

nevolcnrc, aud the genial sunshine of good

abidrs by his friends through evil aud
through good report Ills face is pleasant,

full vigor of manhood, and ever rrndy at Il
moments warning to battle for what lac
deems The right. Woe be unto the man who
enters the arena with him, for lie wIelds

strong men huvc been slain 10y him; yea,
many mighty men have fallen before linn.
Had he united with either OF the great po-
litcu parties he would hive been chosen
az a champion, for he is brilliant as ChOutc,
without lis bedlauiish idiosyncracies;
clear us Clay, without his accommodating,
human-sucriiciug, compromising disposi-
ton; learned as Winthrop, without his
bookishness or drawng-room manncrism; (;
genial as Cass, without his dullness; fiery as
Benton, without his unapproachable self
suiliciency. lie would entertain a promis-
cuous audience better than either of the
above named men. He is not so logical as
the late Daniel Webster, not so luminous as
the ever-consistent Calhoun, not so learned
rs the second Adams, not so thrilling as KIN
tuckys favorito; aud yet he is more in
structive aud more interesting speaker than
either of those distinguished men ever was,
even in their pnlmiest days.
Wendell Phillips is universally esteemed
and beloved. Even those who hate his
creed, and dread his power, admire his dis
interested kindness and irresistible eloquence.

Final Flight of the Slave lIuntCrS-.-A Pre-
CiOUS COnlCS sion.

The paid agents of Georgia slave holders
have iiually turned their backs upon the me-
tropols of New England, aud the home of
Webster and Eliot, and gone off with their
ears full of heas TO give the solemn word for
the dissolution of the Union. We have il on
the authority of Col Spooner, the propri-
etor of the United States Hotel, that Hughes
and Knight left in the express train for New
York yesterday afternoon, though delega-
ton Of the Vigilance Committee who were
on hand To watch their hegira and honor
them with an escort out OF the State, were
completely evaded. They must have escap-
ed out of some back door which was not
watched, or through the front or one of the
side doors, all of which were watched, dis
glliscd as females, for Col. Spooner affirns
positively that they went.
We are inclined TO the opinion that they
did 20, for they confessed to Col. Spooner,
and others whom they considered friendly
to themselves, they could not arrest Uiiiiam
or Ellen Crqtts, and that if they could have
done so, they did not think THEY COULD
HAVE TAKEN THEM OUT OF THE STATE. If
this be really so, land if il be not yet so, it
must he made SOL then great point is gain
ed. Georgia slave holders, backed by all
the power of the United States, cannot take
a slave from the soil of Massachusetts The
hunters can't live on Massachusetts soil.-
Glorious That is just as it ought TO be-
That insures not only the Union, but some
thing worth having n Union for
Still some people doubt whether the
scoundrels have really left us. Aud surely
a good watch should be kept against them
and the like of them. What they cannot do
openly they will seek TO do 10y the meanest
aud most clandtsline stratagem. Slave
holders only dcspise stealing, when slaves
are stolen into liberty. They are ready
enough 10 steal them into bondage Massa-
chrseus boys must let item know they can't

RELATION OF GovERNMENT TO Con-

bound, as an individual, by the laws of God.
The obligation of obedience 10 Govern
ment apostolcal example has taught us, does
not authorize us to obey man rather than
God. II "Me potcers that BE-" whose legiti-
macy even the right of revolution does not
allow me to question, should require me to
abjure Christianity, | must neither obey nor
resist, but suffer. If Government should
require me, as a military officer, TO fight in
an unjust war, | must send in at once my
moral protest and my resignation. II a
Government require me, beyond its right of
securing sell-preservation and justice, TO vi
olaie eternal right, or the law of God, such
a Requirement: is null, and ! must disregard
it. II | have ever taken any oath TO sup
port the Constitution, regardless of Gods
law, my conscience has been entrapped, and
that oath, to support an unrigbteous Consti-
tuition, audibly and firmly, must utter the
reserve, except it reverse the law of Cod"
and the Government which would make that
reserve ban of ostracism upon me is n
Government of blasphemy.-ProE Uhedon's

Who the tint of our brotherhood wear
If that token they lack-if the creatures arc

La, la, La

Every man of each sect holds his head up, erect
As the eagle that faces the sun;
Ah you do not see here class o'er class domi-

Rue alone in base thraldom their sin;
And tho guilt of all dies in American eyes
Far the deepest, is darkness of skin
La, la, la

Hero fond welded pair independently share
All the joys of tho conjugal life,
There is no law to part heart united to heart,
Wife from husband, and husband from wife.
Such barbarity fell, as the offspring to sell
From the parent is wholly unknown;
But their lips If too full, and their hair curly
wool,
Should have no child nor wife of their own!
La, 10, la

At the tyrant's proud hand there's no scourgc

IN this state of things, how is any old
"logie" ofn bunker to get a "National" party
to make him President in 1882 The only
hope of such men is to form all Hunkerdom
into new party. Daniel Webster's heart is
set ON being our next President; and he
hopes to succeed by inducing Northern
hunkers to combine with Southern wings, to
whom will be added all such Southern dem
ocpts as follow Howell Cobb and Senator
Footc
Gen. Cass looks to similar combination,
and hopes TO manage il by means of the
Washington Union and his unterriied fol-
lowers in the Free States. Mr.. Clay is sure
thai he is king of the compromisers and must
be Ring of tue new party.
Well, tits high time parties were re-organ-
lied. The old parties have accomplished
their mission. The issues between them are
settled or dead. Ii is time for them to 20 af-
ter their predecessors. To support a party,
merely for the sake of party, is unnanly and
base. A party should represent principles
aud be means of carrying them out No
man should support party which is a mere
parry and nothing else.
