The AbOlitiOnists Rampant.


The aboltionistsof Boston and vicinity
celebrated the 4th at birmingham. PHIL
LIPS, GARRISON, FOSTER and. other leaders
were present, and GREELEY had repre-.
sentative to report the speeches for the
Tribune. PHILLIPS went in boldly for
amalgamation, as follows:
Now, am going to say something that 1
know will make the New York Herald use it's
small capitals and notes Of admiration Qaugh-
teri, and yet no well informed man this side of
China, but believes it in the very core of his
heart That is, "amalgamation "a word
that the Northern apologist for slavery has al
ways used SO glibly, but which you never heard
from Southerner. Amalgamation Remem-
Der this, the youngest of you: that on the 4th
day OF July, 1868, you heard a man say, that
in the light of all history, in virtue of every
page he ever read, he was an amalgamationist,
to the utmost extent. (Applause.) I have no
hope for the future, as this country has no past
and Europe has no past, but in that sublime
nlingling of races which is Gods own method
Of ciyilizing and elevating the world cloud
applause.)
STEPHEN S. FOSTER, of Worcester, re-
intorced PHILLIPS, especially in his abuse
of the administration, and was more logic
al and consistent in his malice He said
He had no choice between the government
of JEFF. Davis and that of Abraham Lincoln.
"a Volce-You are cOpperhead) Both are
lighting for slavery, and the fugitive slave law
is still in force. He did not see how any abo
litionist could aid on the cause of enlistments,
He had discouraged enlistments, and should
do so.--( Kisses, and voices-You are copper
head.) He hoped that jeff Davis and General
Lee would be successful in PENNSYLVANIA. and
he prayed for our defeat. He hoped General
Lee would take New York and Boston. and
the North be brought to the verge of starya
ton, till Abraham Lincoln be compelled TO pro-
claim universal emancipation and give the ne
gro his rights and acknowledge his equality.
The abolitionists are third party in this strife
taking sides with neither Abraham Lincoln or
JEFF. Davis. They are opposed to war: war is
OF the devil, and, if followed up will lead to
he'll. If, as we say, God is on our side and
we have q. righteous cause, and the most re
sources, twenty millions to their eight. why
don't we succeed? G. voice-BecauseS Stephen
Foster amt down thefe) IF God was on onr
side, we should succeed The North is pro.
slavery and the war is a just retribution.
This is the talk of the men who own the
radical wing of the Republican party, and
who have had more influence in controlling
and directing the policy Of the Admins
tration than the conservative masses of the
country. At their bidding Mr.. Lincoln
proclaimed emancipation, and Congress
enacted confscation, and in conformity
with their fanatical theories these measures
are now upheld, to be an impossible bar
- Al - Il.
Union and peace. In league with the
lunatics of Birmingham, and their ser
wants for all purposes of evil, are the Re-
publican orators and presses VINO clamor
against the reconstruction of the Union,
except on the basis of emancipation. Wen
dell Phillips asks no more than that the
Administration party shall cling to that
position.
