wendell Phillips.

This notorious and talented Aboli-
ZIONIST, who according to his own state
ments, has for twenty-five years, been
laboring for dissolution of the Union,
is, at the present time, the bright par
ticular star Of the Abolition fraternity.
The lecture hall of the Smithonian In
stitute, says the Pittsburg Post, having
been captured by the Abolition com
mitee of Congress, is now used for
Abolition defamation; and the most
bitter and offensive Of the stripe are
the ones selected to deliver the course.
Phillips, the most talented, malignant
and dangerous of this class, seems to
have attracted unusual attention while
at the Capital. He was introduced on
the floor Of the Senate by MIR. Sumner,
when, we are informed, the Vice Pres
ident Immediately abandoned his seat
and descended to the floor to give
welcome and Importance to the distin-
guished orator. Indeed the attention
of numerous Senators, of the extreme
Abolition cast, to Wendell Phillips,
has so delighted the sharp-nosed mem
bers of that association, that they un-
hesitatingly pronounce it marvellous
conquest of absurd predjudices and a
wonderful improvement in Northern
ideas. +...r
This improvement or change in the
ideas of United States Senators, is
certainly very remarkable. Wendell
Phillips, while being an able man, is
a very bold one; and he very frankly
acknowledges that he has been dis
unionist, and has been laboring for dis
union for quarter of a century. For
this service that patriot Sumner intro
duces him upon the floor of the Senate,
and he receives the warm welcome OF
its presiding officer. Yancey, of Ala
bama-the Wendell Phillips of the
! South-would scarcely be introduced
to the Senate of the United States.
were he to visit Washington; and yet
he has made no such statements of his
early conceived hostility to the Union
as Mr., Phillips has. The Southern
traitors falling off was only beginning
to be suspected about ten years ago,
while the Northern crusader confesse'
to twenty-five years of active, untirinG
and effective warfare against the gov
ernment. If the lionizing Of such ;
man by Senators and others in author
Iity, evidences ga marvellous march IL
Northern ideas" we suspect that it il
but the continuation Of the marcl
which has already brought our govern
