Wendell Phillips has been heard from on
u.
of his remarks at Brooklyn, New York Here
they are:
NEw YoEE, Nov 2-WendeI Phillips, of
Boston, delivered lecture last night in Brook
Ign, in which he argued that John Brown was
the only American who had acted boldly UP to
the true American idea He cast aside also
those false and fatal wrappings of an effete con-
servstism and refused TO regard anything as
Government or any statute as lay, except those
which conformed to his sense of justice and of
right Virginia was not State, Mr.. Wise was
not Governor, she Union was not nation;
all these s0.calIed Governments were organized
piracies, and John Browns was to-day the only
real and true government on the soil of Eir-
GINA, and had an infinitely better right to hang
Coy. Wise than Gov. Wise had to hang him
he also said, think You can make better use
OF iron than forging it into chains. If you
must have the metal, put it into Shapes rifles;
1t IS great deal better used that way, than in
letters; great deal better than great clumsy
statue of a false great man, for men to kneel
down and worship, in State House yard.
Tom Corwin, Of Ohio, was present on the
platform, and being called upon for speech,
said he was there merely by accident, and beg
ged to be allowed to reflect upon what he had
heard before giving his vote upon the matter.
1t appears to US that Wendell was unusually
muddy in the above, or else the telegraph agent
hasn't done him justice. All that is visible is
the usual obltquity of his political views unre-
lieVed by his.wonteu brilIisncy. The feature of
the meeting must have been big pot-belHed
Tom Corwin, swelling with Fillmore conscrva-
tism, trying to keep down rush of impcrtur-
! liability to his face.
