WENDELL PHILLIPS on Mr. LINCOLN
AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.

Mr.. Phillips hoped the resolu-
ton would not be referred, because
it contained in Il few words, the
whole matter upon which they had
to act. lie agreed with it in tho
Importance of the forthcoming el
lection, only lie wonId intensity the
language. Nothing in all our past
history had been Of such moment.
Gus importance as this erection, He
intended to let no dark cIond over
us lead him to doubt the wisdom
ol The fathers who framed the Con,
stituliom. and who never permitted
the people under it to be bound to
the car of an administration. The
people, slnac the war commenced,
had stood loyalty to the Govern
ment. No such total surrender of
every barrier Of personal liberty as
the people had cheertully seen STRIFE
ken down, bad ever been made.
And now asked the speaker has
the Administration done its duty?"
ii the war we're to stop today, we
should find thatthe national, State,
county and town debts would ab.
sorb one entire halt of the capital
OF the country, spent in the effort
to restore the Union.
With regard to President Lin.
coin, although he might be honest,
honesty was not enough, we want
capabiIlty It's we'll as honesty.
lie spoke for twenty millions OF
white men, the laboring men of
this country. We had been fight.
ing three years. and the Confeder-
acy was still terrible in its strength.
We had advanced eight miles in u
week in Virginia. Grant is q noble
leader, Butler is another. Sherman
deserves credit, Sigol fights like a
native for the country that has
adopted him /; but Let US be Just to
our enemy. All these are gathered
around Lee, and they are just able
to hold him in check. lie hoped
Grant or Butler might succeed
against him, but after all, the Con
federacy is u terrible power. There
was neither Unionism, nor loyalt,
in East Tennessee, nor In New Or
leans. lie commented severely OF
Mr.. Lincoln'A letter to Hodges.
jeff Davis started a rebellion
but it was left to Lincoln to buiIC
ny a Confederacy. The Amnesty
PROCLAMATION had driven out thu
last remnant Of Untonism that was
left in the South. The Admins
t%ration was bringing the county
to a point where it may be impJs
sib'e to keep the people up to thu
level of resistance IL the Southern
plot.
Mr.. Phillips concluded by de-
claring his preference for any OH,
rather than Lincoln. If We cleo
Lin;Oln again, no man of middle
age would have a CHARGE to see
reconstruction of the Union, anC
if the war was not stopped in two
years, the money question would
swamp us.

\ FUNERAL CAKE BAKED FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The cost Of the great American
Abolition war up to this time, may
be chronicled as follows :.
Two hundred thousand men
killed-seven hundred thousand
men disabled for life. We include
both the armies of the North and
the South in the above numbers.
The property destroyed blythe war,
may be stated at six hundred mil
Injury to commerce, one
hundred and fifty millions. War
debt-inc.udiug North and South
eight thousand millions.
If the wal We're to end in tie
abolition of slavery, BY the sword,
and the suhjugation Of the South,
a standing army Of one hundred
thousand men would have to be
kept up, and three millions Of poor
negroes would lave 10 be supported
for many years. Billions Of dollars
have been lost to the country, ny
turning manufacturing and ugri
cultural producers into CONSUMERS.
This Abolition war has beer the
means Of causing the death of one
man out of fifty men capable OF
bearing arms in The United S~tates,
and Of crippling or otherwise dis.
aiding one man out Of every tell.
1t will thus be seen, that the Abo
lition wal has caused The destruc-
ton OF property to the amount of
about eight hundred million dollars.
and led to the expenditure of eight
thousand millions US a war debt.
These are strange facts, especially
80, when we know that the Ado.
lition churches OF the North, aud
ambitious men in the Souti, have
been the oven, and the War Demo
Gratis the bakers, who have aided
in heating the oven in which the
Funeral Cake, which we now place
on the table for the retre;hment OF
hungry war men, has been baked.
The worst Of itHis, that those who
arc opposed to the Abolition war,
and sigh for peace, will have to eat
their full share of the cake, and 50
will their children's children after
them! What has become Of the
souls Of the tens of thousands
hurried from the battlefield into
eternity, is Il question to be an.
swered OH the Day of Judgment.
The bulk of the American Pro
testant churches have certainly
stained their hopes, their prayers,
and thair robes in blood, but no
in 1.-The blood OF the Lamb"
As a free man and an Angie

and devilish" war, that they vii
