Wendell Phillips and His New Agitation.
The irrepressible Wendell Phillips has con-
cluded to let Cufy slide, and has undertaken
to create a new agitation, in the shape of an
intensified anti-rum movement A convention
having this object in view assembled in Boston
a day or two ago, and, among a number of
stringent resolutions against the liquor traffic,
adopted the following:-
Resolved. That there can be no greater peril tina n
party competition Tor the liquor vOte that any party
not openly opposed to the traffc must engage in
this competition must court the favor OF the crimt-
nal classes, must barter the public morals the purity
of the ballot and every object of good government
for par ty success.
Resolved, That this corrupt competition must be
coeXstent with the life and political power OF the
trac; that Issue against their existence is there
FORE the only remedy and that no such issue can be
made without Independent political action.
Resolved therefore, That the organization OF an
Independent political party Is an inevitable ne
Cesslty.
Thus has the flag of the prohibtionists been
flung to the breeze, and the old abolition rally
ing cries will no doubt be soon heard through
out the country. With Wendell Phillips and
his believing cohorts enlisted in this new agi-
tation we may expect stirring campaign, moi
only the coming fall, but for years to come,
until, perhaps like the climax of abolitionism,
it's force shall be felt, not physically, but
morally, all over the land. Such agitators as
Wendell Phillips can never rest in quiet SC
long as an opportunity for the exercise of their
fanatical views can be secured. Therefore we
may anticipate hot anti-rum war, which, in
intensity, will scarcely find parallel since the
old anti-slavery excitement of years gone by
The fight will commence in Massachusetts,
Phillips being already nominated as the pro
hibiton candidate for Governor, and a pro
| gramme for the campaign is already mapped
| out.

The special correspondence by mail from
Europe which appears in our columns to-day
continues our narrative Of the progress Of
events in the Old World to the 9th of
August. The letters which we publish do
not refer particularly to war events in the
field as between France and Prussia. Our
writers apply themselves more Immediately to
of the conflict which Is now raging between
these Powers, the present position of England
as neutral her code of neutrality as it was
interpreted and observed during the Ameri-
can war, and the agitation which is just now
existing among her own subjects and the sur
rounding populations. Belgian neutrality, the
questions of coal and other war contrabands
and the neutrality of Luxembourg have been
all ELECTED and presented to the British Cabinet
for consideration, if not for positive action
thereon. Hampered by the recorded facts of
her 'belligerent recognition" of the American
rebellion and by those connected with the
escape of the Alabama Great Britain now
suffers the fruits of her diplomatic duplicity
during our struggle for national existence here.
She suffers in fear and trembling. She is
pledged by her guarantee to Belgium, fearful
OF France, doubtful of Prussia, and compelled
to outstep really independent neutrality by
costly maintenance Of her huge navy at a
standard of force which almost exceeds that
of actual war. The people grumble at all
this. A powerful democratic groundswell is
getting up all over the country. 1t will gain
force as it aggregates to a roll-crescit
eundo-which will sweep to Mr.. Gladstone's 3
feet. 1t may surge around the steps Of the
throne. Ireland remained agitated British
finances were troubled. No one could pre-
tend to say when a great political crisis would
occur in Britain, but few doubted its approach.
The war convulsion between France and Prus-
sia is certain to produce the most serious con-
sequences to both of these nations immedi-
ately. The European peoples know that these
effects cannot be confined by territorial bounda-
ries. So they are fevering for political change,
but as yet unconscious of what form it may
assume.

Mr. FRELINGHUYsEN has formally declined
the mission to England in letter which we
publish elsewhere. Senator Howe, of Wiscon-
sin, is gentleman who would fill the position
with great credit to the country, and would
probably accept it if nominated. 1t is of
course easy for President Grant to find many
persons who would accept, but he will not
find many who would bring to the position
more capabiity and more Ameyicanisn than
Senator Howe.

1t was a delightful time, in the
haze of a soft September twilight, the
few bright stars that favored us with
their twinkling light seemed to be
no ding sweet converse, which then.
IN the dreamy days of my girlhood,
reminded me of two lovers, telling,
with their sparkling eyes, the first
young dreams of love. l was young
then-only fourteen-wore short
dresses, and short hair curled closely
around my head, and was passably
good-looking; at least, my school
mates said that l was; for in playing
those plays, that seem to us so simple
now, when some one was. appointed to
come in the guise of ofa count, or a
Spanish knight to court the fairest of
the daughters of lady chosen from

for saying that I was passably good

But as I said befoFe,. it was a de-
