| AZ pOHtlcai meeting IN cooper lnsli

royal radicals held forth. whose names are
! quite familiar to the American people, to-
wit: Wendell Phillips. Lloyd Garrison
and Horace Greeley. The speech Of the
evening was delivered by the first mem

war. Mr.. Phillips said: s,

aay blow that he chose to aim; so that
matters of vexed dispute. matters Of earn

Mr.. Phillips said, moreover ?" do not

But enough of Phillips Mr. LLOYD

Graelcys speech did not amount to
much. lie was evidently depressed. and
did not see much ground for hope except
in the fact that 60! re; gns.' as he said
the other day in his Paper. Greeley talks
as though he had got religion, Hear him ::

trials, and if we are worthy to triumph
now, we shall find this rebellion disappear
like the dew of the morning When the
time shall come for it to fall, it will fall
suddenly aud utterly, and pass out OF
sight like mist
Manifestly, the philosopher of the Tn
Juns has abandoned his expectations based
on radical political measures, and has, in
despair thrown the country upon the
hands of Providence. II NAV be tough
work, after all that has beea done by the
ultraI-ts, but we rely on Providence and
the strong araa of our soldiers and the
people 20 bring Us CUT yet
