Since that date Mr.. Phillips has bpsn IN soeepG-

we suppose is "loyaly" of the latest paten and
the purest water, for observe that his language
| receives no apprehension from those custodans of
the Administrations honor who have such a
keen scent in tracing the signs Of /" disafection"
and "somi-loyalty' in every animadversion pro.
ceeding from conservative sources.
Mr. Phillips, it is known, was recently in our
CITY, having come hither, it is said, on "nis-
sion which found its motive and explanation in
the recent " order of the Secretary Of War au-
thorizing the Governor of Massachusetts, to raise
such number of volunteer companies of artillery
for duty In the forts of Massachusetts, and else
where, and such corps of infantry for the volun-
teer military service as he may find convenient;
such volunteers to be enlisted for three years,
unless sooner discharged, and may include per-
sons Of african descent organized into separate
corps" In giving publication to the ORDER the
National Republican" of this city said
Tbis order from the Secretary of War authorizes the
raising of regiments of black Massachusetts, This
s the secret OF the late mission OF Gov Andrew Wendell
Phillips, L. w. Bird DR. Howe. aud host of Others of
the radical school of politics in Massachusetts, this city,
aud accounts for their many and interviews with
the President"
On last Tuesday Mr.. Phillips, after his visit TO
this city, delivered in Brooklyn Lecture on "Our
Future" which we find reported at length in the
columns of the New York Tribune Our con-
temporary in giving place to the discourse, accom-
psnies it with the following editorial endorsement:
Exposing the polished fctions of diplomacy and the
dcorous hypocrisy of satecraft Mr. Philips dscerDs and
declares with unequaed courage Of speech what he con-
ceves be The duty of the hour and summons the nation
to the task which lies before it."
Such being " the hour and the man." we invite
our readers to mark the utterances which are ex-
pressive of the latest style of loyalty" and to
compare them with the animadversons which, as
emanating from some of the Presidents political
opponents, are held to be hardly less than treasona-
bic. We quote from the Tribune's report Of Mr.
Philps's speech delivered on the Sd instant
