Mr.. PHILLIPS RESUMES.
GTho Enqmrer's report continues i He

form of baltic. The war 10 nothing to mb
as an abolitonist. 1t has no more interest
to me as such, than q novel has TO you after
you have found the hero and heroine hap
PLY married on the last page. Whatever
! your opinion may be, mine is that slaverv

its friends. The American people havo
opened that page of their history which will
record the death Of slavery. In due time,
and after reasonable interval, slavery viii

South Carolina dragged Lyons and Lancas-
ter to her feet, and said, "Babies, keen
quiet" Sho has starved them for eleven
months, but at last accounts they we're
doing quito we'll.
Another idea was that the North would
not fight. South Carolina tried that on in
miniature, whom she piited Missouri against
Kansas, When their orchards we're grubbed
up, tho Yankees won't home 10 New Eng
land and begged rifles. Let tho war con-
tinue twenty-four months, and Mcclellan
will be jayhawkor. The third idea of the
death of slavery ls derived from the message
of the President. / believe the President
is an honest man. but very slow one. He
desires to stand between The parties, and
finding which way tho tide was setting, he
warned tho border states that now was
their time to sell"
Mr.. Phillips continued to speak for over
an hour, but the melee in the second tier
created so much confusion that We should
not be able to do him justice, did we at
tempt to report him further.
Cries and execrations resounded from all
parts OF the house. Eggs we're occasionally
hurled at the stage, one of which struck
Mr.. Murray.
There were cries of Lynch the Traitor,
: Hang the Niger Tar and Feather the
Abolitionst, I've omit the profanity. y
Ladies and timorous gentlemen made their
, escape.
THE END.
, The stage was in confusion, and gen.
tlemun from tho audience mounted it as Q
favorable stand point from which to witness
( the row. Tho speaker vainly continued to
speak, but could not be hoard.
Tho rowdies came down stairs with cries
of Lot US take tLe stage, Lynch him,
Put out the gas When they reached the
, middle aisle, the melee became general,
/ stools and umbrellas were freely used.
, Some ladies tainted, and others scrambled
r uDgracefully over bench tops. Mr.. Pike
and other gentlemen we're struck while en-
deavoriug to keep the peace. 1t being
probable that some of the evil il-disposed
would fnd the 'gas-stop,' and put out the
lights. in which case the loss of life would
= have been frightful. Mr.. Phillips was in
t duced to cease speaking, and the meeting
+. was dispersed.
+. Both exits from the Opera House were
+, beset by gangs determined to lynch the OBJ
" noxious speaker. After some delay, he wal
