Greeley advises me to be more generous in my
judgment Now, nature intended Greeley for
simple.hearted and honest man, and when he
has followed nature he has done nobly, and ue-
serves the thanks of his country; but an OK is
unfortunate moment Greeley conceived the
idea that he was made for TalleyTand, and
since that he has been trying to trade prlncl-
pies for immediate results He Is always
parading his tact. Now, man VINO has tact
does not talk about 1t. The ass made himself
ridiculous by initiating the spaniel. Alter
some further comments on Greeley, the speaker
required to Johnson, and said he did not intend
by calling him q traitor to say that he would
betray the nag to the BRUSH, but ne mad been
a traitor to the idea he espoused when he
took sides with the North in the late conflict.
AS soon as he came into power he sought to
restore the oligarchy of the SOUTH he dld TINS
knowingly and Intentionally. The speaker
then referred to the national debt, and
said that If the South were allowed to
come back to Congress with their pre-
sent ideas, they would say to the North:-
You told us in 1865 that the Constitution
could not be amended without our help; now,
If you could not do that you could not contract
a debt, and the national debt is invalid unless
you will rat1fy that we will ratify yours" etc.
After few words about the Fortieth Congress,
which, he said, was not composed of saints, and
a word or two in favor of impeachment of the
President, Mr.. Phillips came down to the Presi-
dental election of 1868, which, he said, was the

country for the next fifty years. If the Demo-
Gratis succeeded, we would lose two thirds of the
fruits of the war; if the compromising Repub-
licans succeeded, we would lose One-halE but
tfThaddeus Stevens was elected we would save
90 per cent. Public opinion drifted strongly
towards General Grant, Grant, he said,
had no ideas, and was not the man for a nation
soldier. No soldier would have kept away from
New Orleans when its streets ran red with
Union blood. If after the Duke of Wellington
had subdued Ireland and returned to London,
he had heard that man was murdered in the
streets of Dublin Tor cheering the Queen, he
would have been in Dublin in six hours and
henceforth it would have been safe for any man
to cheer the Queen from morning till night.
He would not have first gone TO the High
lands of Scotland to lay the foundation Of a
monument. The Duke of Wellington was
soldier. But 1t was said by the friends OF
the South. but was not allowed to. II that were
so, Grant owed it to the people to say who pre-
would not remain in the Presidential chair
thirty days after it became known that he had
dismissed Grant for doing his duty. Congress
would have impeached him long ago. Mr.. Phil
lips closed by warning his audience, as they
remembered the graves of 100000 Union soldiers,
to be vigllant and watchful, and see to it that
no one was allowed to take the helm of state
who was not true in every drop of his blood to
the principles which inspired the loyal men of
the North in the late war.-N Y. Times
