/ pat 1t to gentlemen on the other side,
Are you responsible for him? All! you re-
ceived him, how ardently in this city and
Capitol last year!
Mr.. Eliot-To whom does the gentleman
refer?
Mr.. Cox-Wendell Phillips. The Senate
doors flew open for him; the Vice President
of the United States welcomed him. Sena-
tors flocked around him; Representatives
cheered his disunion utterances at the Snaith-
sonian: and you will follow him wherever
he leads. He is practical amalgamation-
ist, and he is leading and will lead you up
to the platform on which you will finally
stand. You may seem coy and reluctant
now, but so you were about the political
equality of the negro year ago; so you
were about abolishing slavery in the States
two years ago. Now you are in the millen-
nial glory of abolition. So it will be here
after Nth amalgamation!
Here is what Theodore Tilton, editor OF
the Independent, says in the circular to which
l have referred:
Have You not seer with your own eyes-no man car
have escaped it-that the black race in this country
is losing its typical backness? The Indian is dyini
OUT the negro is only ehanging color! Men who. by
and by. shall ask for the Indians, will be pointed t.
their graves: There lie their ashes" Men who, b.
and by, shall ask for the negroes, will be told Ther
they go, clad in white mems skins" hundred year
ago a mulatt0 was q curiosity; now the mulattoe
are half million. You can yourself predict thu
future.
Mr.. Eliot-The gentleman will permit mt
to say that surely all this was under stat,
ofslavery.
Mr.. Cox-I will show the gentleman di.
rectly that his friends and leaders propose
to continue it in state of freedom. 1t will
be the freest kind of license.
Mr.. Eliot-The gentleman will allow mt
to suggest whether the difficulty he labors
under is not that the Democratic party il
afraid the Republicans will get ahead o
them.
Mr.. Cox-I am not afraid of anything O
the kind while white people remain upor
which we can center our affections an(
philanthropy. You can take the Who'll,
monopoly of 'miscegenation." We abhol
and detest it. The circular referred to ha,
other Endorsements, which quote before
reach that Warwick of Republicanism
Horace Greeley. The Anti-Slavery Stand
ard of January 30 says
This pamphlet comes directly and fearlessly-t to tn
advocacy of an idea Of which the American peopl
laws will fulfill and vindicate themselves. 1t is il
the highest degree improbable that He has placed
natural repugnance between any two families of Hi

companonship together. II, on the contrary, He ha
made no such barrier, such one is needful or dc

The future must decide, how far black and white ar
