What Is TO Nc Done with tho Abolition
Vlaftors1

. religion OF the people, has been condemned by
s. all classes Of men. Many even of the aboli.
It tionists are afraid TO endorse it without quali-
u cation. II Is extenuated on the plea that its
Q author IS insane. But what is this proclamation
!, compared with the lecture of Wendell Phillips
:. on The war, circulated by tho IfiJune, the
, Times and the World, without word OF rebuke
: 70 connteraet the poison! II Phelps would be
ht inmate for lunatic asylum, how much
greater is the insanity Of Phillips, and bow
:. much more necessary to send such dangerous
lunatic to some institution for the cure of men
tai disorders or for the safe keeping of the in
! durable insane? To one of these places Phil
y lips ought to be conveyed Immediately, if not
TO some OF the fortresses appropriated to pold-
4 cal criminals. And those who aid aud abet his
treason by their newspapers ought to be sent
to keep him company.
. The tine has arrived when it is absolutely
! necessary for the government to adopt some
decisive measures with This class OF men
otherwise ehey will subvery the government.
They arc far more perilous to It's sssety than
, the Northern secessionists "a the Southern
stripe; for thsy are more numerous, more FAM
Teal and mCr5 powerful. Ther are ess,saly
criminal cquasiS secessonists, equally traitors.
