Wendell Phillips on Grant.

The New York Anti-Slarsry Standard
publishes letter from Wendell Phillips,
written at Cincinnati on the 29th ult, in
which he refers to Gen. Grant as follows
/ am not surprised to find that Grant
is not as strong out here as in the East.
Bondholders' patronage there has weak
ened him here. have not seen, neither
have / met any one who has seen
an original Grant man. Every Re-
publican prefers some one else,
but submits to General Grant, since
the wire-pullers will have it so. A wrong
move on the finance question would
push him from the track. And the diff
ficulty in this quarter is SO great, while
the willingness for Radical reconstruc-
ton is so perfect in the West, that l am
more and moro persuaded we can, as to
the negro question, shape the party plat
form exactly as we wish it, if we are only
faithful, and exact all that belongs to US.

A Democratic contemporary sends US
an article marked on this subject, when
purports 10 find likeness between the
French Democrats led by Robespierre,
and the American Democrats, led oy
Abraham Lincoln. What misconcep-
ton; Centuries ego the Franks, IKE the
Normans in England, conquered the
Gauls, aud the.great mass OF the French
people remained abjeot serfa OF the
hnobles until 1889, when they revolied,
and, under the lead Of Robespierre,
abolished all the privileges, vested
rights" expressions and wrongs OF q
thousand wears. and when the mobiles
resisted and struggled to retain the fac
titious mower over their natural equals,
thew sent them to the euillotine, and very
properly chopped of their noble
heads. II Robesperre was wrong, then
Washington, Jefferson and Patrick
Henry. and the glorious men Of l7T6
were wrong, for the French Democrats
or so-oaled Jacobins we're taught by La.
fayette and his returning soldiers, and
moreover, had about million times over
more cause for their casting off the rule OF
the Bourbon monarchy than the former
had for casting of that of George III.
But what do the American Abolitionlsts
propose2 Why, to abolish the natural,
God-given supremacy Of the white man,
and amalgamaie with negroes True,
such n monstreus idea could never orig
mate with Americans. II comes IRON
Europe, from those who believein aruh-
cial INTERCHANGEABLE and peasants
who know, oy instinct, that If We could
ever become 50 vile and utterly degraded
as to "aboish " our legal supremacy and
make negroes citizens, the bottom OF our
system is knocked out of course, and
again those faetitisus distinctions OF class
common to the Old World must needs
follow. And after fifty years Of agita-
tion," their ageRts and tools so poisoned,
and debauched, and perverted the Amer
lean mind, that great party, led oy
Abraham Lincoln, sprung up to do this
accursed thing, and at this moment
actually claim to have accomplished II,
and included the negro in American
citizenship But the people will soon
understand the matter, and then they
will not only re-establish their legal as
we'll as natural supremacy over negroes,
but they will murder every beast that
has thus labored to betray and degrade
them and ruin their institutions. In
view of these facts, is it possible for the
human Imagination to conceive OF any |
two things SO utterly antagonistic, or
such complete opposites, as Robespierre
and Abe Lincoln2 We may suppose
the former personally devil, and the
latter a saint but the cause led by |
Robespierre is the cause of God, and the
latter that of the devil, and black as its
father in hell.-New York Day Book.

"GONE A BEGGING.,

The Salt Lake Telegraph in mention
ing the delivery of a missionary sermon
in Hartford, Conn, by Rev. Bishop Dan
iel S. Tuttle, ridicules that gentleman
for soliciting contributions TO build a
church in Salt Lake City. The history
of Brigham Young and of the Mormons,
coming without money and building up
prosperous towns and churches, is cited
in seli~glorifying way in contrast with
the Episcopal Bishop, who asks the peo-
pie of The East to contribute ten thou
saad dollars to build a school-house, ard
six thousand dollars to pay for the
q. arch lot in Salt Lake City. 1t would
Us well tar tbe Telegraph to remember
that Bishop Tuttle and the
Episcopal Church do not propose
to collect by coercion one
tenth of all products their struggling
people to support the Ministry and build
edifices. The Mormon's give to the
Lord under compuision, and therefore
give literally, but if the Lord loves
cheerful givers there is little affection
bestowed In MormondOm. Estimate the
population of Utah at 100000, the tithe
paying population one in five, and the
annual product $500 each, you have an
ANIMAL product of $6,000,000, and a net
annual return to the Church of 5000 900
that is wrenched from the reluctant as
mercilessly as an Irish landlord distrains
the last head of stock from a tenant. In
this way Brigham Young has built his
palatial residences and comfortable
houses, mills, shops, etc. holds forty
acres of ground in the heart of Salt
Lake City, and the best farm lands in
Utah. supports 800 people, including
three sSOre wives and an hundred chill
dren, In unapproachables style, and has
his millions of Church and individual
pounds sterling on deposit in the Bank
of England. Bishop Tuttle is univer
sally regarded in the West as an earn
est, industrious, able, liberal hearted
minister. and has endeared himself to the
people of his charge as few men could
There are people of his faith in Salt
Lake City. The Mormon Church and
schools are exclusive anil the Mormons
distrustful of all "outsiders," as Brig
ham terms US. If Bishop Tuttle can
commend the necessities of his people
to the contributions of the Church in
older and abler communities. he is but
doing that which precedent has estab-
lished and that has ever been responded
TO generously by the Episcopal Chur ch.
