The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-07-09

While Mr.. EVERETT was peddling metaphors at
New York, on the 4lh, in the holy cause of
bloodshed and civil war, one of his allies, WEN
DELL PHILLIPS was tanning the same sacred flame
in 'tHarmony Grove" at birmingham, not very
far from Boston, PHILLIPS has always seemed to
us 10 be seriously in earnest, which rehearsing
phrase-maker, like Mr.. EVERETT, never can be;
and upon the occasion referred TO he certainly
must have shamed the devil according to the old
adage, whether he told the truth or not. We are
inclined 10 think that he did dispense more than
usual of the latter commodity, for he gave an ac-
count of some of his confederates, which seems as
faithful as if done by photograph. OF Mr.. Sew
ARD, for instance, he says what we sure every
man who has read one of he Secretary's speeches
or dispatches, and especially the DAYTON letter,
would recognize portrait if he were to read
it at the anipodes:
"As for Mr.. Seward he says "there confidence
to be paced in him II he lies he tells the truth, he
tells The truth he lies"
And again:
"He has neither the beginning the end of prn
ciple. His colleagues know that he is traitor
Every man in Washington says that he is traitor, and
every honest man in the Country, especially IN New
York, knows it.''
OF Mr.. LINCOLN and the Northumberland he
thinks little better, though still not without con-
tempt:
"The President and General Scott" he says, 'are hon
est, but hesitating and awed of Seward"
The conclusion of the war he does not see very
clearly. "SEwARD," lie tells us, ''is not honest
fenough to end the war, and LINCOLN doesn't
''dare to. The Aboltionists have to curb the
"one and spur the other" Nor does he think the
war worth waging, unless its true grounds be hon.
estly taken. ''The fundamental error of the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION" he insists, s's that they are afraid
"of being called Abolitioniss.'' And yet, he
adds, they must come to it at last. "We must
fhave emancipation or disunion:"
''The people claim of the Administration the indication
of purpose They ask the peoples support and ask
for what2 What does the Administration intend to do

Under the present system, and while the Ad-
mnistration shrinks from avowing Abolition as its
policy, he thinks that the Sonth is likely to have
decidedly the best of it.

we should conquer the South by our present means?-
