declares :'That in the long suffering OF this nation
under the crafty policy Of Andrew johnson patience has
he'd It's perfect work, and in such III judged forbearancs
We recognize not the virtue Of great magnanmty, but
the folly and wckednsss Of short sighted moral
and . connivance Of wrong"

still triumphant In the Executive councils and call for

Wendell Phillips a. usual, was the leading speaker.
Of JEFF Davis and said Horace Greeley seems to think
that oil want Is TO punish Mr. Davis but we dis
regard hundred thousand Davisss He s a weed in
personal sense, upon the surface OF present AFFAIRS his
only value Is as the index Of the purpose Of the Northern

Now tho Union League Club OF New York represents the
most decisive and energetic minds OF the republican
party OF New York, and the strongest Of the radical
ring Of that party, and when the leader OF that party
attempts and protect the leader Of the rebels
hcy dare not rebuke him They forget the great epoch
Of the nation. and Mr. Phillips said II think Horace
Greeley has not the rs conception Of the beginning Of
the epoch In which he lives. God means him for sim
pie hearted, nofensive man but no supposes himself
10 be an acute knave The fact that his comrades
and the country presses OF his party dare not rebuks
him q amentable fact In regard 70 the Presidential
election OF 1893 Mr.. Phillips said The country
bear the defeat Of nominal radical but We can't sur
vive the election OF Grant Senator Sherman Tho

OF the North Ii written in the constitution when
the United States has got the right TO construct
schools for the children born ts territory and when
every black person a the South may have forty acres Of
land for his within ten miles Of his birthplace and
the right the ballot and appeal TO the ballot boz
TO protect him In the enoyment Of life and property.
