for him to fraternize with BAEz and en-
dorse his executions of his people.
WENDELL PHILLIPS, the colleague OF Mr.
GREELEY, is not so squeamsh. tie Is more
logical. He follows out to the proper con-
clusion fbe barbarism which Mr. GREELEY
shelters as a hen doth her chickens under
her wings. PuILLrPs urges General GRANT

the consolation would be that the world
would not lose great deal.
But no; we would not have Mr.. GREE
LILY hurt. He is an enigma. He cannot
stomach the worst things Of the extreme
Radicals, and that is to his credit; but lie
continues along with them, like an emil
grant who is all the time complaining OF the
route, and censuring his companions ior
not taking another.
Yet since the world was formed there
never was such set Of tedlamttes as no"

The philosophers, like those OF the french
revolution OF 1850, would sacrifice the La |
