Wendell Phillips Doing Good.

we hnd the following IN the washington cor
respondence of the New York Times:
"ANT1-ABoL1TIoN SENTIMENT IN THE WEST.
prominent gentleman, and Republican Of
fice-holder, who has just returned from Cncin-
natl and other Western points, reports general
development of an intense anti Abolition senti-
ment in all quarters Of the West, since the
Wendell Phillips riot in Cincinnati. He says
violent denunciations of Phillips and all Of his
kind are heard among all classes. and that threats
are made against many Abolition members of
Congress, that if they show themselves before
the people in the West, they will fare worse
than Wendell Phillips did. This feeling, he
reports, is based on the popular repugnance to
negro equality, towards which the Aboitionists
are supposed to be tending-no white man be-
ing so poor in his own esteem as not to feel him
self better than niger"
| And this, of similar but still higher interest
in the Washington correspondence Of the New
York Express:
"The Mcclellan prosecutors have ceased guer-
rilla warfare, and resortel to regular organized
opposition. A self constituted committee, con-
sisting of members and Senators. formally waited
upon the President and demanded that General
Mcclellan should be deposed. The President
very summarily suggested to them, that they
had only to attend to their legislative duties
and that he would attend to his peculiar sphere

position of attachment to and confidence ir

produced quite dsagreeabe sensation among

General -in-C Chief they imagined had been estab-

worth while to mention just now was not to be
nveigled into their nefarious schemes, and relies

to the Abolitionists.
"The evidence of break of the President

becoming daily more manifest. The argument

President, is regarded as being just one in favor

people will be gladened with the knowledge,

defenders of the nation"
And we give this also as we find it, in an
evening paper:
"New York, March 1.-The Herald's Wash
ngton despatch says the disposal of the thou

rec negroes from residence within their limits.
New England is regarded as the only available

that upon the very first intimation of purpose
to let Massachusetts Abolitionists experience the
fruits of their own doings, they are ready to
take it as "a gratuitous insult?' Surely, this
is not the charity which we had been led to ex-

not but be taken by "the wisest of the Adolf

carrying out of their emancipation projects. II
