Wendell Phillips -hHs Blown his
Horn.

WENpELL PHILLIPS, a pioneer in the ABB i,ry
olition movements not disposed to rejoice
over the election of General GRANT as a
victory in which every thing needed has
been won for the Atoiitionists.g lnTla
weeks Anti- Slavery Standard, he. announces
that the work OF the Abolitionists is not
over, and will not be over until the Negro
is secured iu every political right that the
White man enjoys. He insists that the land
In the South belongs to the Blacks and that
it should be parceled out to them that i'm
mcdiately upon the assembling Of Congress
an additional amendment should be adopted
to the Constitution "forbidding disfran-
chisement or prescription from official trust,
on accountofs race orcoler in any State or
Territory of the Union" He insists that
" the Negro is still the bone of contention,
and until his manhood and political equality
is everywhere recognized he will continue
to be disturbing element in our politics."
In General GRANT he does not have i'm
plicit faith. He demands the immediate
Impeachment and removal of President
JOHNSON. This, in his estimation, should
be an accomplished fact by the 1st ofJan-E
uary. With BEN WADE in the Presiden-
tial chair two months before the inaugu-
ration of General GRANT, he thinks the
road could be made easy for the Radicals
to travel over. On this point, he speaks
thus: LrS a3Ic4og
:sWith Wade even two months in the
White House, and such tools OF treason as
Rousseau, ,Seeedmanfand company, of New
Orleans, replaced by Sheridan and other
trustworthy, loyal men; with the recon-
struction laws property revised and amend
ed; with suffrage and the right to hold
Office vouchsafed to the negro everywhere,
the nation may be well on the way toward
peace having secured its essential con-
ditions, before Grant is inaqgurated.p -
Inas much as WENDELL PHILLIPs could ,
not defeat the nomination of General
GRANT for the Presidency by the Republic
can party, it is not likely that the present
Congress win again undertake the Impeacf.
ment and removal of the President, to the
end that BEN. WADE may tie up General
GRANTS hands, In the shaping of his policy
and dispensing Of the patronage.
The JOurnal In Forced, by It's Ar
gument, 60 ADMIT that .JOhnsOnl
was Right.
In its efforts to get rid of the Tenure of
o flee act especially as regards its effect
on members of the Cabinet, the Journal
pronounces its continuance a iagrant vio-
lation of the Constitution. It was for the
supposed violation of this same unconsti-
tutional law, in the removarof q Cabinet
officer, who, by the bye, did not come un-
der its provisions, that the attempt was
made to impeach President JOHNSON and
give his Office to another, and because a few
Republican Senators did not lend them
selves to the outrage. the Journal blew off
In abundance of steam, in fierce denuncia-
tion against them. Now the law is wrong
If so, President JOHNSON must have been
right. If the law, as the Journal says it is,
Is unconstitutional, then it follows clear
As noon day, that the effort. to remove
President JOHNSON was but an exhibition
Of malignant spite, and if accomplished
would have removed an honest man because
lie would not dc. . dishonest act in retain- 4
ng bad man in office.
