DEAD.-Wendell Phillips says the Re.
publican party is dead, and he ought to
know, for be has nursed it from its BIRTH
He gave it life and vitality; he fought its
battles when it was weak and odious, and
men who denounced it then are now the
recipients Of its favors. There is not a
true hearted American who will not re.
joiCe at its death, and who does not regret
that it did-rOt die before it plunged our
once happy and free country into misery
and despotism. Here is what Phillips
said in late speech in Boston:
"The Republican party does not exist
There is spectre walking over the country in
its shroud. but there is no such party. II has
not existed since the Baltimore Conv eution,
when it was buried in the will of Abraham
Lincoln. deny the existence of any political
force entitled 10 be called the Republican par.
ty."
