We have demonstrated time al

advocate negro suffrage in the South,
as matter of principle, or upon the
ground that the colored man has right |
to participate in the making OF the
laws for the protection of his life and |
property, but from considerations OF |
political expediency. This is shown
by the resolutions of the Grant Con-
vention at Chicago The Anti-Slavery
Standard, the original abolition paper
in the United States, pronounces those
resolutions to be ''double-hea
illogical monstrosity, uttering the
language of freedom and equality out
of it's Southern mouth, and that of
caste and race distinction out OF its
Northern one" But the clearest ex-
position which we have yet seen of
the Grant resolutions, is the speech of
the great Radical orator, Wendell
Phillips 1t was on the occasion of
recent meeting of the CAN'T Slavery
Society of Boston, to consider the
action of the Chicago Convention
Coming from this high priest of Radi-
calism, the speech will be received as
an authoritative and impartial presen-
tation of the subject:
EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECH OF WENDELL
PHILLIPS.
The Radicals went to Chicago to
consummate their work, but found
that men in their own ranks at Wash
. ington had deserted them. The answer
/ of Chicago was, we are not strong
t enough to give universal suffrage to
the negro. We must conciliate this
= element. That element has been Grip
pied by the Executive power, and they
! at least attempted to remove the Ex-
Y ecutive They have failed. Two
thirds of the nation deem him guilty.
They made the attempt. They have
. been defea5ed-defeated at Chicago.
The warning of all this is that the Rad
: ical element of the Republican party
is weak. 1t has been decided at w ash
ington thai the White House must not
q be checknated. We are informed
: that the Republican party feels it's
weakness. The radicalism Of the party
S has been divided. johnson has di-
: vided it Seven of it's own Senators
have divided it. The strength of the
I party is opposed to giving tie negro
/ the right Of sufrage-u Suffrage.
e The Chicago resolutions indicate the
q speedy readmission of the ten rebel
+ States. The necessities of the Grant
e campaign require it. The platform of
: Grant sustains the demands of these
e States. The Radical element of the
+ Northern States IS not strong enough to
elect Grant but it is compelled to bring
o in these ten States to enable it to do
e So This is confession of weakness.
J The Lincoln party of to day does not
/ dare 90 into the field, or follow Grant
o in the field. What confession OF
Y weakness and what does. it mean
O Bringing back the rebel States means
e that within five or seven years there
II will stand up in Congress men elected
e from those rebel States that will exer-
IS else the same power and influence they
e possessed before they had the right tc
