RENnELL PHILLIPS AGAIN..

That common scold, Wendell Phillips,
continues to gable. His venom, like
that OF snakes, becomes more acrid
during the hot summer months. The
rattle-snake becomes blind in the
droughts of August; and Phillips in his
blind mangnity, strikes at random.
This is one of his latest illusions:
The attempt to impeach the President
has failed. It is no longer worth while
to spend much time in discussing why.
Every one OF his vices marshsled CO.
bert in his defence. And we have no
doubt, if the whole truth is ever known.
that we shall see Freemasonry acting as
QuArtermaster in the camp, and Chief
Jesuit In that Council Chamber.
But, putting aside such causes Of the
Senate's action as women, whisky, cow
srdice, Rreenbacks, Freemasonry, negro
hate, offices for ones sixteen piGe-tree
cousins, a diseased Chief Justice, spite,
dyspepsia and nOodleism, il is evident,
on the face of things, that while a very
large majority Of the people, and speci-
ally Of the Republican party, wished its
success, there was 3 very strong doubt
among the party leaders whether such
success would help the party. Hence
the failure of impeachment. We cannot
suppose the Republican party 80 weak,
awkward, undisciplined and insufficient
as TO let the measure fail, had lis leaders
heartily desired its success. II The DdTtV
had been tDiIJing TO pat Itself and all is
DOOer into Gen. Butler hands for siLly
days Johnson mould not nOU sit ia ne
White House ANY able man thoroughly
in earnest could have carried impsach-
mept. Personal jealousy and dislike Of
the Radical element has wrought a result
which on the surface sinks the Republic
can party, as an organization, beneath
contempt. A group Of spoiled children
ouareling about their tOys-a pack Of
neWsbOys gathered, for the first time,
under 3 schoOlhouse roof-these are pic
lures OF the national Senate. A rustic
pumpkin caught in Peter Funk auction
rOom-this is the Republican party. AT
least this is the public, outside Judgment.
Phillips is, iJatUs ct in cute, liar. The
President Is q Freemason ; but we k'aOa0
that the Masonic Order and Masons
never ia the least sought to influence the
opinions or control the votes Of Senators.
We do not know that either Of the seven
Republican Senators, who voted to ac-
quit, lie a Mason at all T; while Benjamin
F. Butler is 8 Mason, OF the BOD degree,
claiming to be, but not lawfully, 33i
and Stewart and Nye, of Nevada, who
voted to convict, are MasOns, and so, we
have heard, is Sprague.
Freemasonry does not permit its in
itistes to interfere in the least degree
with the course Of public justice. ItoDly
demands that, when one Mason IL to
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-06-12

judge another, he shall do strict and inn
partial justice, without fear, favour or
affection.
John G. Breckenridge is q Mason, Of
the $50 degree, member Of the Supreme
Council Of that degree for the Southern
jurisdiction OF the United States; and
Andrew Johnson is a Mason Of the 32d
degree, Of the obedience of that Council:
but We Eao10 that he has never been sp-
psaled to in behalf Of Mr.. Breckenridge,
by any Mason of the Rite to which both
belong. Howell Cobb is a member OF
the Supreme Council, and remains IN
psrdOned.
But it is the prerogative Of Wendell
Phillips and his tribe to bsbble nom
ganga
