AYTER HAHN late letter in the AHti
Slavery Standard, Wendell Phillips reiterates
his charge Of habitual and almost continual
drunkenness against Gen. Grant, and shows up
the shallow basis upon which Senator Wilson
and other Radicals, who favor Grant, deny the
ugly charge Grants father told how his Ulys
ses, when q small urchin. rode the monkey in
the circus; Wendell Phillips tells how the
monkeys ride the same individual now he is u
man grown. No wonder Grant don't like Cop
perhcads ;--hc sees too many snakes all the
time.
