Portrait of Weuasll Phillips

Did you ever see the arch leader of
the Radical sentiment of the country,
Wendell Phillips? If you have, you
will recognize the following as faithful
pen portrait of this honest but DANCE
rous fanatic:
His face is bloodless, more than blood
less-puttyish gray. John Randolph had
withered, bloodless face. but it was OF
the yellow corn tinge and texture. Phil
lips' face is grown out of diet of pea
nut paste, putty sauce and popcorn pud-
ding. 1t is livid. For eyes, pair of
sharp dots, oblique in expression, but
not in fact, icy and wicked, very wicked;
and yet, with leer running about Their
glances that would be pitiless upon d
wench, so far as moral consequences
we're concerned; a fabby agility, gluti-
nously amorous, like the hidden passion
enveloped in the largely productive folds
of an oyster. Spite stamped his grabbed
foot upon the mould in which he was
Matched, and everywhere about the upper
part of his face you see the old devil mark.
No lucid interval of sympathetic hui
mainly could eradicate that pest; and
when we come out to his nose, we touch
the sign of all paramount physique OF
his nature. 1t is destitute of muscle,
and those gallant apertures through
which courage snorts in battle, are here
but toilet holes 1t drops, it turns, it
lifts, it wreathes, it shifts, it doubles W
and down and runs back when anybody
offers him hand, fearing pull.

the enfranchised and disfranchsed can

call a convention of the people, amend

birth and by law. 1t is already decided

II ;s not. in our opinion, expedient to
call it this year 1t may not be expe-
dent TO call it next year. There are
issues to be tried in the North between
the men of the North, involving the
very gist of our Tennessee controversy
We must be prudent, consolidate our
strength and wait for the ausp'ciou
moment. Haste would mar, not menu

A writer in the August number OF Ihe

most brightly. He was accustomed to
LOOK upon nothing as impossible. Bad
roads and the waste of waters could be
overcome by "H shall be So. Small
numbers, with rapid marches and con,

NETHERLAED ON THE STUMP.

The Knoxville Commercial learns
that Col. JOHN NETHERLASD, though
completely overwhelmed with profess
sional business, delivered most con-
vincing Conservative speech to a large
and appreciative audience'-at the recent
term Of the Circuit Court, which was
held at Rutledge The "irrepressible

Colonels discourse, and he handled II

Sound Sentiments.

Governor Throckmorton, of Texas, in
his message to the Legislature, submits
the constitutional amendment for ratif-
cation or rejection, with his "unquali-
fed disapproval" of it, and adds:

The Northern papers (suys Rich

written by General LEE to General
EARLY, dated June LIST, 1864, which was
captured by General SHERIDAN IN the
fall of the same year. The letter was
written nearly year previous to the
evacuation of Richmond, and while the
battle of Cold Harbor was progressing
At that time Gen. LEE $ army was on the
defensive, it is true, and was gradually
falling back upon Richmond, but 1t was
repulsing every attack made upon 1t, and
the general feeling and expectation at
the South was that GRANTS investment

as McClELLAy's. But the letter to ten.
EARLY shows that Gen. LEE contem-
Mated with mnch anxiety the continn-
suce of merely defensive operations
around Richmond. The Philadelphia
Inquirer, from which we copy this ex
tract of Gen. LEES letter to Gen. EARLY,
thinks that Gen. LEE, at the time OF wri-
ting it, foresaw the inevitable result OF
the struggle, as then going on, and
wished TO change the mode OF carrying
on the war, but was unable to do so;

JOHNSON ON THE RIOT.

The speech Of President JOHNSON IN
which he alluded to the New Orleans
riot. was as bold as it was just, and Is
defiance to Radicalism generally The
responsibility is placed where it properly
belongs. and where it will remain for
ever 1t is the duty of the President to
defend the States from the Vaccinations
Of revolutionary men, as Gen. SHERI-
DAN characterized the Conventionists OF
New Orleans. The pretence that the
functions of the Convention OF 1864
were not ended when the Constitution
went into operation and was recognized
as the supreme law of Louisiana, was an
after.thought dictated by a feeling of dis
appointment originating in the circum
stance of the accession of the real peo
pie to power. There is no question that
the people of that State may, if they
desire, meet in convention for constitu
tional purposes. But i is different II
the case Of few revolutionary men
representing nothing except purpos'
to recast the government and throw
into the hands of negroes, adventurer
and ambitious demagogues.

ment: The gavel used by the President
Of the Philadelphia National Union Con-

old United States frigate Constitution,
which did such signal service in the war
with Great Britain; capturing, among
others, the English frigate Guerrero, the
first naval trophy of the war. The gavel
used by the President of the Philadel-
ph;a Miscengenation Convention, now
in session, was the same used by the
Presider, Of the South Caroline Seces-
sion Convention, which passed the ordi'
nance which the Radicals and other Sc
cessionisis say took that State out of the
