three cheers for Judas iscariot at the
Pope's dinner as 10 have said one word
even in apology, for Wendell Phillips,
or any other of the great lights of the
abolition movement. 1t seems to as a.
if Phillips were a seer Look how he
talks now; putting US out Of conceit
with ourselves making US say foolish,
blasphemous things because his phil
osophy is so far beyond our liking
or copprehension--and mailing down
the cold blooded facts in our presence
while yet we are mum bling a half d.
gested and only half felt requiem over
the sacred memories of a past which
Is sacred merely because it is too scrof
ulous and weak to be safely disturbed
This man comes to US now, spite OF
jim Hardy and John Bigler and the
balance of the non combatants who
raised a corps of hfers and drummers
for the short side Of s'the late uupleas-
antness," and the bones of whose sub
stitures whi,en every field but the field
Of blood; who, beside being home
guards and blackgusrds, and who,
while we are about it, used TO bawl,
for cheap and meretricious coinage, for
. southern manhood which they repre-
scented only as play in Gascony rep
reseurs life in Paris-this man, we say,
comes next to John Brown as the Amer
lean Moses. He tells US wonderful
truths, unpalatable as they are. Do you,
general reader and parlor critic, know
these lines
"Have sixty years taught US norhing?
10 1860 the English thought in recall.
ling Charles H., that the memory of
that scaffold which had once darkened
the windows of Whitehall would be
guaranty enough for his good behavior.
Bat, spite of the syecter, Charles II.
repeated Charles L., and James ourdid
him Wiser BY tbs experience, sehea the
nd.ioa, IN 1859, got another chance, they
trusted to no guarantees, but so Arranged
the vsry elements of their Government
that Wu,iars III. could not repeat Charles
L."
This man Phillips talked this way
sixteen years ago. Get the BOOKS and
read how he talked, away back 10 81
about the murder of the Rev. E. P.
Lovejoy at Alton, Illinois. And it was
because he then told wha, was too
strong truth for our weak stomachs that
we joined in the general hue and crv of
profane and' unclean generation
Of ''chivalric" Virginians and their
parasites, the Northern Doughfaces in
s;oains him behind his back Well, this
brings ia down to what be has been
saying in these times. The telegraph
reports as follows:
NEWBURfPORT, December 1.
Wendell Phillips, in a speech a: the Ly-
ceum last night. demanded that Congress
assume what the Executive had abdicated-
that it compel the States lately in Rebellion
to educate its 100000 ounces; if it refuses
TO do so, then the Government itself, at the
expense Of all the people, to assume the
duty, and afterwards send the bill to the diff
ferent States. Government must protect
citizens as well as legislate for them. The
war is not ended-out Just begun. The
speaker severely criticised the New York
Tribune for virtually saying on Saturday
last, that We could not carry on this move
rnent unless We entTeat Jefferson Davis TO
come up and help US. MIR. Phillips said
wealth and have captured the Supreme
Court worse than fancy yields its thun-
derboits to-day. A recreant Republican
who drags his ermine through the infamy
Of Tammany Hall, means to contest his
election with the candidate of the Republi-
can party. IL the Republican parry had
brave man at its head he would marshal its
forces: nail its coloTs mo forgiveness
20 the mast, and absolutely impregnate
every Northern mind with the demand that
lands be given to the blacks freely as
possible. He spoke with great force of the
coming tide of Orientals to the Pacific
shore, which Is going to be greater act OF
American civilization than anything it has
ye, experienced.
There must be some reason for this !
close folio wing of this speakers words
this particular rendition of his pub
lie speeches. Why? 1. is not because
Re is a candidate for the Senate; an as
pirans to q reelection to patiently borne
Z ofscio duties aud respon sibilities f; or
because of his trying to make a big |
concern divide its surplus |
