Wendell Phillips Sunday night harangue
in Boston was most vituperative affair.
He devoted himself to the consideration Of
two points: first the glori6cation Of dis
union and second, an analysis Of M.
Stewards recent speech in the Senate. The
speech is fully reported in the Boston Atlas
and Bee. We quote few extracts to show
the temper of the whole: um gHo1y Ia nj
''c'a2J THE CHAIN PARTED. iii.i5= -4i $50
ssThe Lord reigneth; let the earth re-
joice." "The Covenant with death is an
nulIed-the agreement with He'll is broken
to pieces" The chain which has held the
slave system since 1887 is, parted. Thirty
years ago southern leaders, sixteen years
ago northern abolitionists, announced their
purpose to seek the dissolution Of the Amer
lean Union. Who dreamed that success
would come so soon? South Carolina,
bankrupt, alone, with hundred thousand
more slaves than whites, four blacks to three
whites within her border. filings her guantlet
at the feet OF twenty five millions of people
in defence of an idea. would That New
England could count one State as fearless
among her sex. Call it not the madness of
an engineer who places himself in front of
bis cannon at the moment of discharge;
call it rather the forlorn hope of the mari
ner Selling plank or spar in the fury of the
storm. The mistake OF South Car DINA is,
she fancies there is more chance of saving
slavery outside the Union than inside.
Three States have followed her example.
Probably the rest Of the Slave States, or
many OF them, will fud themselves unable
to resist the iDfection-aHd then the whole
merci!ess conspiracy OF 1887 is ended, and
timid men will dare to hate slavery without
trembling for bread or life.
THREE CLASSES AT THE NORTH.
Then look at the North divided into
three s,ctions-l. The defeated minority,
glad of anything that troubles their con-
querors. 2. The class OF Republicans led
by Seward, Offering to surrender any thing
to save the Union. [Appause.] Their
gospel is the Constitution, applause and
the slave clause is their sermon on the Mount.
Laughter and applause They think that
at the Judgment Day, the bIacker the sins
they have committed to save the Union,
the clearer will be their title to Heaven.
3. The rest of the Republicans led by the
Irabune-all honor to the Tribune, faithful
and true who consider their honor pledged
to fulfill in office the promises made in the
canvass. Their motto is: 1.-THE Chicago
platform, every inch OF it-not a hairs
breadth of the territories shall be surren-
dered to slavery" Applause But they,
too, claim the canuOn's mouth to protect
forts, defend the flag and save the Union.
At the head of this section, we have every
reason to believe, stand Mr.. Abraham Lin
coin.
All these are the actors on the stage.
But the foundation on which all stand d.
vides only into two parts-those who like
slavery and mean it shall last, those who
hate slavery and mean it shall die. In the
boiling gulf goes on the perpetual conflict
of acid and alkali-all these classes are but
bubbles on the surface. The upper mills
stone is right and the lower wrong. Be-
tween them government and parchments,
parties and compromises are being slowly
ground to powder.
The speech of Mr.. Seward regard as a
declaration of war against the avowed
policy of the incoming President. If Lin~
coin were Andrew jackson, as his friends
aver, be would dismiss Mr.. Seward from bis
Cabinet. The incoming administration, if
honest and firm, has two enemies to fight,
MIR. Seward and the South.
His power is large. Already he has
swept our Adams into the vortex-makipg
him offer to sacrifice the whole Republican
aforementioned, as events have turned,
he has sacrificed only his own personal hon.
or. Fifteen years ago John Quincy Adams
prophtsied that the Union would not last
twenty years. He little thought that dis.
union, when it came, would swallow bis
sons honor in its gulf. ..-......
Indeed, Mr.. Stewards picture
of the desolation and military weakness Of
the divided States, if intended for the North
is the emptiest lie in his speech. I said lie

AWAY WITH THE UNION. I'D
Take your distorted Union, your night
mare monster, out of light and range Of the
laws of trade and competition then, with>
out any sacrifice on your part, slavery will
go to pieces! God made it law OF His
universe that villainy should always be less;
and if you will only not attempt with your
puny efforts to stand betwixt the inevitable
laws of Gods kingdom, as you are doing
to-day, and have done for sixty years, by
the vigor that the industry of sixteen States
has been able to infuse into the sluggish
veins of the south, slavery will soon drop to
pieces by the very influence Of the COMPETE
