Wendell Phillips ON the Rampage
He DenOunces the President
and MIR. Seward-Hehames Gen.
Grant for the Presidency.
Nrw York, May S.-The following are
the more noiiccah points in the speech of
| Wendell Phillips at the anti-slGFery meet
| ing to-day. He read q resolution setting
! forth that the scene of the late war was
! changed; that it was transferred from Lee
| in arms to chicanery from Richmond to the
| White House.
He believed in universal enfranchisement
4 and universal amnesty, although he was
not opposed to Furnishing rebels. Disfran-
/ ohisement, which Congress is now discuss
.I,ing, but binds men more together, and by
/ the tenderest Of all ties--common misfor-
/ tune. Why disfranchise menp We can
i overcome jeff. Davis and thousand like
him by our great weapon, justice. He did
not quite believe that the South feared Ne
| gro Suffrage. Voting once year would
not frighten them. .,.tvl,E-.
| President johnson knows that when he
Itook the Office, comprehending the under
living principles, he belied the people by
his conduct. He knows that If the great
Republican party remains as one man until
| 1865, but one man can be President, and
thats man is General Grant. President
johnson and VIM. II. Seward set themselves
against this, and endeayored to break up
the dominant party in the hope that some
of the fragments might float around them.
