Wendell Phillips in recent
speech at Arlington, Mass, poured out the
most vile abuse upon the head of our patriot
ic President. He said the President has
neither insight nor provision, hat be al
lows himself to be bullied by semi traitors.
declared that he is "the turtle at the head
of the nation "a "broomstick," waiting
for the people to take hold Of him and sweep
slavery ont of existence" &c. Phillips said
when in Chicago, he had learned from ILL
nois lawyers that Lincoln never was known
to say No, that he has no back bone
Had the American people asked for a man
of all Others least fitted to lead, they could
not have got man better suited" and so on
to the end of his malignant attack. And all
this merely because Abraham Lincoln, by the
grace Of God, and the choice Of the Ameri-
can people, President of the United States.
because Abraham Lincoln, who has no
back bone, and who never can say no,-does
say No over and over again to the persistent
demand of this same Phillips, that he shall
be permitted to take hold of the President
like broomstiok, and sweep slavery from
the land Wendell Phillips does not con-
ceive it possible tina. the President may have
better and more efectual policy for Kidding
the country Of slavery than the wild scheme
which he proposes. Perhaps all the wisdom
and backbone in the world will be buried in
the coffin of Wendell Phillips. Who knows

for the earthwork in the field this side
the Cathedral Cemetery, some days
ago, two human skeletons were found
much decayed, tbs true, but the bones
clearly distinguisha.le. A leaden bull
let was found Embedded in the spine
of one, and portions of leather were
discovered around the feet, showing
that the person vas buried with his
shoes on. They were probaly soldiers
in some former war.
Thursday last similar discovery
was made at Thunderbolt. While dig
cling within a few feet of the old Bow
ling Alley, and about three feet be-
low the surface, human skull was
thrown up. 1t had been buried with
the face downward. Upon the side Of
the skull, just above the left ear. was
orifce abest the size of and evident
ly, made by bullet. Sevcal other
bones of the skeleton were also found.
The teeth are in a perfect state of
preservation. This too was probably
some hero Of other days. who fell no.
