| rious victory. (Great applause.) Let us then,
Ieat Andy as q poor little thing; let hum go It
alone, and Jet Congress attend to the legitimate
business OF the country.
II the soutberners had achieved the final
victory, what would South Carolina have done
She would have moulded Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts in her own likeness. She would
rave called the roll Of her slaves on Bunker
Htl-all that be desired was TO read his procla-
nation Of liberty under the palmetto tree.
(Great applause
The speaker now proceeded TO show that
many people In the North are almost willing 10
shake hands with the South uDon almost any
terms, with the view OF a resumption OF trade
between all sections OF the whole country This
ne considered dangerous. 1t would be tar better
to SO act that when business relations are fully
restored, II be lasting, and therefore more
healthy and. beneficial. ~.
When Congress meets, they have a stern duty
TO perform. Let them throw reconstruction out
of one window--tho Constitutional amendment
out OF another; let them impeach the President;
let them remove him and take hold of the sup
plies and run the machine at the bidding OF
Gods law.
The distinguished orator retired amid rounds
of applause.
MIR. Henry B. Stanton was next introduced,
and said that probably it would nave been better
had he spoken before Mr.. Phillips for he did
not know but that he might disturb the rehec-
tions OF the audience produced by the remarks
OF his predecessor. He (the speaker) said that
he stood before the meeting as a Republican,
anu luhL nc uSSIeu 10 make q lew remarks upon
the recent Republican victories. What do they
mean and what is to be done with themY He
would not take the audience back to that era in
1865 when the Rebellion was crushed out, and
when, by the grace of God and the bullet of
Booth. Andrew Johnson took the place of Abra
ham Lincoln.
When he thus ascended to power by this
means, he found everything in confusion; the
pillars OF government broken and lying around
HIM loose. He did not call Congress together
to help to put things in order; things that had
been arranged by the wisdom Of a Jefferson
and other patriots, but he attempted to do all
himself He IN his blind ignorance, took the
helm of the ship of state and, attempted 10
weather the most terrible storm that ever con-
yulsed the political waters.
The speaker now alluded to the fact that the
name Of Hanover had been botted from the
German map; that the kingdom had been over
turned, and the KING, without his crown, had
been driven an exile into England. He con.
sidered that the body polite of the United States
had the power and the right, and should do the
same thing with the South-strike its name
from the map OF America. If he would not go
this far, he certainly would suggest to the
Southern people to be a little more modest and
not claim as a right to have word to say in
regard to reconstruction. The speaker now
alluded in condemnatOry terms to Andrew John
son, and called upon Congress TO carry out the
will Of the people as expressed in the recent
maiOrities at the ballot-boX, during which he
was frequently applauded.
