routed General Mcclellan, and captured his
wagon train, they could have marched right On
to Washington. Failing in this they have lost
their game, and we have now the men, the
means and the facilities Of all kinds for the
complete expulsion Of the rebels from Virginia,
army, government and all, before the LIST of
October.
Wendell Phillips spouting Foul Trea-
SON.
At the anniversary celebration Of the eman-
cipation Of the slaves of the West Indies, held
at Arlington, Mass, Wendell Phillips, the
coryphGus Of the abolition faction, delivered
speech which, in treason and sedition, has out
stripped anything he has yet uttered. 1t seems
as if this bold, bad man was waxing more auda-
cious under the impunity he experiences. He
threatens the President with deposition from
the chair Of the chief magistracy, and if Mr..
Lincoln does not haul him up with a short
turn it il possible he may carry his threat into
execution. He says, "The government fights to
preserve slavery" and again, GAS long as you
keep the present turtle at the head of the
government, you make pit with one hand and
fill it with another" Here is, first, falsehood
that the President is fighting for slavery; and
second, there is an infammatory appeal to the
people to overthrow the government and
depose Mr. Lincoln, whom the orator describes
as 20 TURTLE" Next, he calls the President
"a mere convenience" and lastly. "a broom
stick" He caps the climax of his treason by
saying, "Better the South should go to-day
than looo ouofhor 1;fa IN urnIopo tho unon
the present detestable policy. Let
this Union be dissolved in Gods name.
England ought to recognize the Southern con-
federacy."
Such are the atrocious sentiments of the chief
representative man of the abolition party-its
organ in common with the Tribune, the Post
and the Independent. Surely, il any man can
commit treason by words spoken or written,
this is of the blacklist hue, and if any maA
ought to have been arrested since the beginning
of this war, Wendell Phillips is that man. He
impudently proclaims that the President "has
no backbone" and therefore it is, we suppose.
that he calculates upon impunity. II the Pre-
sident would adopt the most effectual way of
contradcting his foul calumny, by sending him
to Fort Warren, the act would be W orth one
hundred thousand armed men to the Union
cause.
This foul-mouthsd traitor does no stop here
He sows the seeds Of distrust in the army by
saying that "McClellan's balls are not intended
to do much damage to the rebels; he could not
have done more to help them than he has done.
The people need not fear for Richmond; Nc
Clellan would not take it. He (Phillips) looked
upon the present war, conducted without q
reasonable object, as total loss of blood and
treasure. Men we'll acquainted from
positive experience with the Army Of the Poto-
mac affirm that Richmond could have been
taken five different times had the do-nothing at
the head Of It permitted; but he preferred to
dig dirt in the Chickahominy swamps, and then
leave that locality and its dirt heaps ignomi-
niously. President Lincoln, through coward
fear Of the border States keeps this man in the
position he holds.n
Such Is the language of Phillips There are
two kinds Of treason and two classes Of
traitors. The traitors South we are bringing
immense armies into the field to put down, and
expending vast sums Of money in the enterprise;
and yet, here at the North, there are traitors
banded together TO impede the progress of the
Union arms by maligning and misrepresenting
the government and ridiculing the chief gene
rails in the field, and BY calling for dissolution
Of the Union. The traitors Of the North are
completely in the power Of the government,
and II ought to strike at them boldly at
once. The traitors Of the South will never be
overthrown while the traitors OF the North are
thus permitted 10 give them aid and comfort.
The arch traitor Il Wendell Phillips, who con-
fesses that for fifteen years he has been dis
unionst. Why Is he permitted TO be vt larger
II ID the faction that he leads which has been
the cause OF the rebellion. IL FIRST furnished
the pretext to the secessionists to throw off the
yoke, and now 1t does its utmost to encourage
them and discourage the government and the
army pouring out Its blood for the Union. In
the beginning Of the war Greeley said the Union
ought to bs dissolved If the South desired IT, and
that the action Of the sccessionists was justified
by the principles of the Revolution Secession,
therefore, Ia but the stem and the branches of
the tree Of treason. The root that first caused
the upas TO germinate, and has ever since given
II vitality and support, is the revolutionary abo-
lition faction, which openly prsclaims Its deter
mination to overthrow the constitution as "a
covenant with death and an agreement with
He'll" Let the axe be laid 70 The root and the
poison tree will fab.
