A SEcTIosAL PARTy-Therc is
nothing so delightfully."- edifying as the
bold uttcranccs of Wendell Phillips,
when he takes tbc idea into his hard
head to upset the vain boasting of his
party in its moment Of patriotic cifu-
sion. The claim which the party
makes OF being the party Of the Union
is ruthlcssly disowncd by Phillips, in
this fashion.
II Is the first sectional party ever formed in the
United States. II does not know its ow, place,
and calls itself national party, but II is not a
national party. The Republican party is the
party Of the North, pledged against the South to
the end of time.
Tho difference between Phillips and
his brethren is about this lie is given
to telling the truth, while his col
leagues are oblivious to everything Of
the kind.

"Tho Republican party has been

unwisc counsellors protesting to speak
for the State, who either misundcr

it is the intention to deal justly and

x.Gov. Brown is no Democrat,
though he writes like one. He is at
present one of the Supreme Judges Of
Georgia-placed there by Grants
bayonets--yet he cannot approve the
suicidal conduct OF the national nd
ministration toward tho people of the
South. We presume the scalawags
and carpet baggers will let him alone

TnAr pIcrURE.--A year ago the

TO tho amount he got from the State.
After farming the picture in this
