Wendell Phillips ON the Nations treat
ment of Traitors.
Wendell Phillips, in a recent speech at
Boston, ON the assassination of President Lin
coin, did not hesitate to breast the tide of
popular feeling which demands the halter
lion which has failed. Mr.. Phillips was viii.
ling to use Punishment and confscation
against ''the thousand rebel leaders," but
not against their followers. This, of course,
is apart from the question of proper punish
ment for the assassins of President Lincoln.
MIR. Phillips said:
What shall we say to the punishment of
rebels The air is thick with threats of ven
geance. | admire the motive which promps
these. But let US remember that no cause,
however infamous, was ever crushed by pun
ishing its advoca'cs and abettors. All his
tory Pr Scs this. There is no class Of men
base and coward enough, no matter what
their views and purpose, to make the policy
of vengeance successful. In bad causes as
well as in good IL is still true that "the blood
of the martyrs is the seed Of the church -
We cannot prevail against this principle of
human nature.
The only punishment which ever brushes a
cause is that which its leaders nece sarily
suffer In consequence Of the new order Of
things made necessary to prevent the recur-
renee of their sin. 1t was not the blood of
two peers and thirty commoners which En-
gland shed after the rebellion of 17l7, or that
of five peers and twenty commoners after the
rising of l145, which crushed the House of
Stuart. Though the fight had lasted only q

A Word en- PEASANT.

We presume few persons, who read the
daily reports of subscri ptions to the "Nation
al Lincoln Monument Fund, +" in this city fail
to be surprised at the apparently almost
scandalous paucity of subscriptions, and the
seeming reluctance of the people to send in
their money FIR such purpose. But such
result need not be surprising to any one " ho
reflects upon the facts. The real truth Of the
matter is, that the association Is not a ma.
tional" one In any sense of the term, but a
''repu bican" one. Its organization was
made by a few of the most rampant, bigoted
and narrow minded of the party in this city :;
and while it is true that one or two democrats
have been placed among its corporators, they
have been abused without stint, aud a terri
BILE outcry has been raised by the abolition
newspaper of this city, and its correspondents
(some of whom figure conspiouously among
the agents of this assooiation) that any dem
ocrat should be permitted to take part, in any
manner, in the funeral ceremonies to the as
sassinated chief magistrate of the nation.
By these men democrats are virtually told,
"You internal scoundrels of copperheads.
your professions of regret at the murder of
President Lincoln, and of horror at the terri
bic crime by which the nation is deprived of
its head. are the most contemplate hypocri-
sy. You did not vote for Mr. Lincoln more
Luau yUu TtShfuou sOUe OI MS measures
as unwise and opposed them therefore it is
impossible that you should feel genuine sor-
row at his butchery. Be off. then, you ras-
Gals ! you shall not be permitted to feign a
grief you do no. feel, and take part in
what is exclusively our funeral. You may,
however. be grsciously allowed to contribute
your dollar to help build our monument, but
80 soon as that is done, you are to get out of
the way or be kicked out. This right-the
right to contribute-we will you. but no 9TH
err"
Now we have heard scores of democrats,
whose money would otherwise have been
freely and gladly contributed to assist in the
erection of a monument to his memory whom
now the whole nation mourns and revefes, de
clare that they will not give dollar to such
an organization. We do not here approve
their action, but such is human nature and
should have been expected. The com
mittee, in it's official character, has done no
act particularly offensive to democrats ex-
cept that nineteen twentieths of its agents in
the various counties OF the state are psrtisans
who have rendered themselves particularly
odious to democrats. aud who are only distin-
guished for their zeal and intolerance In the
cause of abnlitionism but the tone Of the re-
pu bliosn press. of this city particularly, has |
utterly Disguised every intelligent democrat |
who has read il, and disinclined them to con |
tribute 10 this fund.

in this association, nor. indeed, any places st !.
