The Presideat aud tAe Psocssmation.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican assumes 70 set
tie the question Of veracity between
Wendell Phillips and the President.
II will be remembered that the Wash
ington correspondent of the Tribune de-
MED, on the most reliable authority,
that Mr.. Lincoln ever told Wendell
Phillips that the emancipation proc'a-
nation "a. the most foolish act OF his
life. The facts, as stated by the other
correspondent are as follows:
A friend of mine went to Mr., Lin
coin the other day with this statement
Of Mr. Philips, with the expectation
that the President would indignantly
deny its truth, bat the Pres dent avoid
ed the issue, but certainly did not deny
the truth Of Mr.. Phil, ps' allegation. II
il well known that aLout a year ago,
when the elections had nearly all gone
opposition, that the President was heart
sick. lie regarded the proclaim alton a,
q political blunder then. 1t does MOI
foil w that he was convinced that be
had no ght TO issue it, or that in mil
itsry sense 1t was a m.s,ake. lie simply
meant, IL ub,lc-r) that hy issuing it, he
pat Huns II into minority With the
people, aud he we'll knew that it was i'm
possible for HIM to carry on great war
against the feelings OF maj rity Of the
people. The remark Of The President o
Mr.. th,llip. regard as not sho ing hi
sentiment on the avery question IN the
slightest degree. Now that the people
have ratified the pfoclama ion, the Pres
ideut is delighted. lie said TO friend
OF mine the other day-"however it may
have been in the past, think The coun-
try. now, is rea ly for radical measures"
