New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1862-08-15

The N. Y. Times challenged ia to com
parl-on of the respective attitudes anh Incu''
cations of c. l.. VallaudIgbam aud Wendell
Philips with regard Ia the war Tor the Union
We made the desired comparison rs fairly,
clearly, and thoroughly 81 40 could. III
essence il US ioo~s:
Mr.. yallandlg ham is a cordial ally aud iace
tool Of toe Slave Power which, after thirty
wears inc,s.aut plotting Ia destroy the Ameri.
can Republic ba. at length eliminated IN
formidable Rebellion aud bloody Civil War.
Mr.. V. ~, of course, hostile Ia the efforts OF
the Goyernmcn, aud Loyal Millions to crush
the Rebellion. because he feels That their sue.
cess i. the downfall of the Slave Power. So
be does what be can, by voice aud vote, Ia
paral,ze the efforts of the Government and
insure the triumph OF tho traitors.
Mr.. Wendell Phillips, on the other hand, is
life long and inost active. intense enemy OF
the Slave Power. Regarding that Power
(,ruly) as tie rcal conspirotor, the arch Rebel,
he iusi.ts that the Government, IN struggl ~
-cainst the Rebellion, should strike directly,
bodily, dciernnucdly, at tie life OF It's real
.reny. And because the Administration I'm.
r. emcd uuwi-ling or unrcady 10 do this, be
mort uuwlscy aud mistakenly. u We think
condemns the struggle uow making for the
Union ~ unprinc,pIed AID futile, aud dseour-
axes enlistucnis III the Union arnles.
/ In other words: Mr.. Vallatdgham opposes
the war, ~ now prosecuted, III the interest OF
SlnS,ry aud the slave Power; Mr.. Philips ID
IN, of Impartial and Universal Freedom.
Differing from each al them, We condemn
the policy of Mr.. Pull pa, while We detcSt aud
abhor IN every aspect the course OF Mr.. Val
landigbom.
We have not succeeded in satisfying Thu
Times. OF course not; tor We appealed Il
fundamental principles. We submit, however
that we hare succeeded in calculating the con
trast between the respective positions OF Mr.
V. and Mr.. T., aud shown why one Of them
should be regarded with a charity which the
other does not deserve.
In dong this, We glanced at the obvious
truth that, were Mr.. v aud Mr. L. to b.
dropped safely from some errant balloon il
! Richmond, the former would be welcomed and
Toasted by the JEFF. Davis conspirators as
friend aud ally, while the latter would b.
exccratrd, and probably put to death, as al
impacable, deadly Toe.
This, Tie Times cayils, "is not original will
THE TRIBUNE" We trust not. We woulo
fam believe that 10 obvious and searching
toich.tone had already suggestrd Itself {,
thousands. We do not see however, that h.,
fact that "a generous, outside friend" IN,
is at all material. We must continue to regret
that tie Government, while assalcd By IT,,
whole power aud venom Vi Slavery, should a
the same tune be open to criticism from til,
side Of Liberty.
We stated the fact that Mr. Phps's propo
sition Of now Republic Wa. intended to de
liver us from
I" that and scsnd,Ow anomaly bossed mode
public, wherein Ia assouto owne, and master

which The Times traycs,ies us follows:
