Mongrel Disgust.

The Massachusetts, Abolitionists are
digusted with Grant and impeachment.
They held their annual "pow. WOW" in
Boston on the eth Of May, when Wen
dell Phillips presented series Of resolu.
tions, and advocated their adoption in q
speech marked by even moro than his
usual force, invective and satire. lie de.
nounced General Grant Speaker Colfax,
the Mongrel and Democratic parties, the
Chief Justice, the Mongrel Senators who
voted for the acquittal Of tho President,
and said that "Radicalism" had been
killed by the failure Of impeachment. lie
however, trusted to the genius Of the
country, the laws Of trade and political
economy to bring out all right in the end
TO savo the negro from destruction.
Mr.. Stephen s. Foster followed Mr.. Phil
lips in speech Of similar tone. The fol.
lowing is one Of Mr.. Phillips resolutions
in full:
Resolvcd.-That in the drunken man,
the dishonored Magistrate, the vagabond
brawlcr, tho treacherous chief, the stirrer
up Of sedition, the mobocrat, the patron
Of countcrieiters, the pardoner Of mur-
dcrcrs, the usurper Of dangerous powers,
tho conspirators against the peace Of the
nation and the execution Of its laws, tho
libeler Of Congress-cousorting with
rebels. In all these the nation finds q
President guilty Of high crimes and mis-
demeanors, and recognizes in those who
vote him innocent, only his comrades or
tools.
The other resolutions, in substance
are:
First-That defeat Of impeachment q,
the hands Of tho Republican party JUS
tifics the nation in distrusting its leader
ship.
Second-That the conduct Of the Pres
idcnt demonstrates him to be guilty ol
high crimes and misdemeanors.
Third-That the nomination ef Grant
and Colfax is weak yielding to availa
bility.
Fourth-Condcmns the second resolu
tions Of the Chicago platform.
Fifth-Protcsts against the admission
Of rebel States until the National Consti-
tuition shall guarantee suffrage to th'
blacks.
Sixth-That, if admitted at present, VI
shall have another malignant politica
power built up at the South to conten,
with.
Seventh-Condemns the. Republican
as the first repudiators, in falling to pa,
the negro soldiers for their sevices.
Eighth-Condemns Grant for his in
difference respecting outrages on th
Southern blacks.
Ninth-Denounccs tho acquittal Of tn
President, and demands the expulsion q
the recreant Senators, and calls for mo-
articles Of impeachment.
Tenth-Denounces the Democrat
party.

Where Il Came From.

Much curiosity is expressed as to how
the Republicans came by their present
name, Radicals" A pathological cuss
explains that the word Radical comes
from the Malay word "lsad," siguifying
rats, and the Chinese word "Ecol," rot

How very significant!
