SPEECH OF WENDELL PHILLIPS.
Allie Celebration Of the First IF Augustu .iJing
ton, Mass.

l am glad Mr.. President, as other speakers have
expressed themselves, to hear from so many parts
of the country tO-day,-lrom many different
States. am, glad, sir, to hear the testimony of
these different representatives of the antislayery
sentiment. 1t is well known that on our platform
we accept the services Of any who hates sa-
very, matter in what form he chooses to mani.
fest his opposition. / glad to see here
sir, glad to talk with the devoted editor of the only
anti-slayery paper in slave State. | hope he will
not go out of our gathering without carrying many
remembrances OF our interests in Kentucky with
him. do not know very paric rlarlv about his
anti-slavery sentiments md method, but have a
very good test he has beaten down eight pro-
slavery presses, and has been mobLod until they
got tired Of mobbng him. That is good anti. sla.
very (Cheers.( The man who draw so nice
n distinction as to say, that often as he has been
beaten,he never was whipped, has very excellent
notion Of logic. (llencwcd cheering.) | say
accept all methods Of anti slavery | we'll remem.
ber the description which Cassius Clay gave me of
that meeting at Dripping Springs, to which our
friend Bailey referred. had asked him how pub
lie sentiment in Kentucky was. and he said-'We
get on finely; we are wide awake | asked him
to describe how, and the description is one which
shows you what large empire Of mind this anti.
slavery movement covers. The description was
as unconscious as chdkc, as simple, as if one
should attempt to describe this meeting and say,
we had thousands, and heard lliggnson and Con-
way Why said Clay at the Dripping Springs
we had great meeting. | should think SAID he
there were a hundred bowie k.iycs and seventy
pistols. daughter ana cheers. That was a Ken
tuckians notion OF Il great meeting! accept it !;
it was on his own level. 1t was proof that the
men who went there were In earnest, according to
their own thinking.
lhls leads me to another point just here. There
has been something said Of Mr. Burngame to
day. l do not like duelling. | think that the
North does rightly when 1T frowns on dueng
think that one of the great efforts of the anti-sa.
very press and speakers should be to show that the
South is barbarous. Our labor for the next twelve
month Is to convict the slave territory as barbarous
We are to take this attack ON Mr.. Sumner, with
Its endorsement 10y the South. and convict fifteen
States OF barbarlsm. There is n great deal in
words | will call the House of Representa-
tives 'Chamber OF AssaSsns, while Preston S.
Brooks sits in 1t, and the Sen ltc ikeUise. | want
to stamp fifteen States not only as slavcholoing,
but rs barbarouS. 1t is the fourteenth century.
1t is burning u man fof opinions. 1t is the fire
and stake which the Jesuits said the only
light by which truth could be elected. 1t is
than the lnquisition and its tortures, which the
Jesuit teacher alone, of all the other punishments
suffered ms pupil to behold four centuries ago. 1t
Is the Darbarism ot corrupt faith, and reckless
and coward nobility. When Mr. Burliugame con
sented to accept challenge, he borrowed an ele-
ment irpm the barbarsm of fifteen barbarous
States 1t was a great blunder 1t sullied the
position OF Massachusetts,, which stood untarnishcd
IN the hands OF Sumner and Wilson.
