We BEG 'olay before the publis Of America the follow
ing extracts from the speech made by Mr. Wendell Phil
ups al inc a'e anti slavery meeting, held on Thursday,
May l2b, ~ The Chinese Tooms, Broadway. New York
Any comment would be out Of place. Folly may be
laughed al, insanity pited and restrained buthe hend
ish maligniiy. The mpaeabs treason Of this Grafton
should be condemned TO immortal infamy
Phillips, as member OF The " American Anti slavery
Society,", explaining lie difference between the society
10 which he belongs and the American and Foreiga
Anti slavery Soeeyibe latter, though quite as insane
as that presided over by William Lloyd Garrison, mol
quite :" up 10 The mark" in feocy and rebeilous zeal
Win those who meet TO the OF the slave
at the Tabernacle 10 night the Union is glorious ,cih
IL Is soelrsed With them Tie character OF is
heroic, and they love 10 look the beautiful symme
Try OF lis PROPORTIONS; Dare NOR THANH GoD THAT
GAVE HIM TO Us, for us EaoD ha Thousands Of greJs
hi den behiad he glory Of iris rsputns."
II Mr. Phillips were man on This subject we
would ask him, :" is there any human institution behind
The glory OF which many gels moi inevitably hddea
Wemghl further urge that Washington did hot establish
slayeryhai he found il planted here by that very Eng
land 10 which Nc Phillips must lock for the applause
and reward OF his labofs he certainly expect neither
in this county
lie goes on
:" What has this Union done /! lido not deny that there
are some i;ht merits the Emperor Nero had merits /"
And these ate he words Of man born in the States
| OF New England He says that "No0 had merits" bu,
does not dare to thank Gol for The character of Wash
ugton How readily the live donkey fling his heels
in The face of the dead lion
The anti-slavery orator proceeds:
ITO the men who stand at the head OF it, and have
swon 70 defend il, this is glorious Union Va teash
| our hands gt"
Would 10 heaven. Mr.. Phillips. thai ,he Unioa could
wash lis hands of you We proud TO say ,ha, the
men who stand at the head of the Union prepared TO
defend what they believe 10 be The most glorious and
beneficial fora oil government that the progression OF
humanity has yet arrived e.
Further on be says:
1--WE should have commerce, manufactures, and agri.
ture ihom Tie Union. Oar strong arms and energetic
hearts would secefe them 10 US but II has h0rsed
III pah holding but tu'stscn as Ltas.'
The only curse" our Union waited on lis wing
is tia absolute liberty, perverted into license under the
guadianrhp OF VIII ch any uian's tongue is allowed TO
sp, It's venom upon all that sacred in history, priced
By manhood, dear TO national honor We should not
hare comme!te, manufactures, agriculture, without
The Union" we should haze collection of petty
States nmca 10 each other, torn by civil brc harassed
on every frontier, wretched internally and lying the
mercy of every foreign foe domestic traitor; the repab-
lie OF ST. Domingo would become paradise TO any one
OF our States and military chiefs distinguished in civil
wars would asurp imperial power where federal ex-
ecuve could restrain The promptlngs OF local ambition
Mr. Phillips probably. is pleased with the prosper OF
war he even says " is idle TO talk OF peace with the
slave power y He coolly says, 81 HATE THE UNION.
and adds:
O1r Amr ian abroad is constant apology he is Obliged
10 apoogiss continually for lis Christianity and his repub
| titanism"
| The American abroad is very different being, and
holds position widely apart, from that which Mr.. Phil
lips assigns him Amongst the idiots and hypocrites Of
Exeter Hall-despi,ed in their own country even-he
may hear anacai rant similar to. bu, less vruent
,han this which the American abolitionst discharges.
BY the sensible and thinking portion OF The British.
French Geiliian, Spanish, and Italian people the Aer-
can citizen is regarded organic fo,cs in favor of lib
eIy-as sovereign power, and the destined redeemer OF
The political freedom OF humanity.
| The resolution 10 which this precious speech an
introduction reads briefly thus
Kssoite6, That resihm original prime ples-im-
m.aaisy ard unconditi ona patton the soil and
we conviction there Is hope OF gain ny
| his EXCEPT RY LUTON or THE UNION, THE
l oYEEi iiRow OF InE AMERICAN CHUkcH.
We have devoted space TO this person than be de-
serves we have spoken calmly, Tor the frsdy Of
Tempt Restraints the aTdor Of indignation. Our structures
have only related his practical assault upon The Union
The klasphenes which he fit 10 utter entail their
own reista,ion and punishment without our aid.
