THE MANoN HoRSEBACK-"LoNG
LIVE ULYSSES GRANT

but ruler for life, has at last been
/ openly avowed in a Massachusetts
Republican caucus The Daily Id
certiscr of yesterday contains re-
port of a Republican meeting at
Lynn, which it calls "a rousing de
monstration" and the report of which
it heads as follows: wendell Phil
lips; His First Republican Speech !;
No change in the Democratic Par
ty; the Contest of 1872 exactly the
same as tina, of 1865; Long live
Ulysses Grant At this meeting
NJ Jones presided, and Gen. But
Ter was received with the "wiIdest
enthusiasm Butler preceded Phil~
lips in a speech and received the
great orators most fulsome lauda-
tious as "sifted Democrat so
thoroughly 'sifted" as to have be-
come one of the select few, including
Gen Dix, with whom Mr.. Phillips
could fraternize. OF the Generals
speech, Phillips said according again
to the Daily AdrertiScr: II do not
propose to add an appendix to that
earnest, sincere, eloquent, exhaus~
tive and, think, unanswerable ar
gumeut. Why, then, you may ask,
are you here am not IA Republi-
can. never found myself before on
a Republican platform. When |
came here to night, as some of you
know full well, came to the Repnb-
Iican platform at a moment when the
greatest, the oldest and most honor>
ed friend of my life has quilted it.
Why dc l come here owe nothing
to the Republican party; ask
nothing of it individually. came
here honestly, sincerely, from a full
heart, because | think that to dag the
great conflict is safe noschere bt IN the
Republican party. [Applause.l If
| thought there was question, if |
thought it a matter upon which, to
an honest man, there could be an
honest difference of opinion, you
would no! see me here. You know
me some of you, for more than thir
ty years, for in your presonc e have
carried my heart on my sleeve,
known and read of all men," Mr..
Phillips then, in the report of the
AdUertiSer, states his conclusion in
the whole matter in the terse senti>
ment with which he closes his
speech:
II sag lony lice Ulysses Grant!
May he continue to be President ofthe
United States until eUe,y sehite man
Deer forty gears Of age, aoho liueS South
Of Mason and Di1On'S line, has been
.torerer put into the ground" Loud
and continued applause. at tht
close Of Nh. Philips speech, cheers
aceyc gioen for Grant and Wilson ana
| t6r tie speaker Ofthe evening." Is not
this an admission, by one who carries
his "heart on his sleeve" of most
than has ever been charged upon the
GRANTEES as to future designs 7 Did
Gen. Butler join in the cloud and
continued applause" that greeted this
sentiment of his great admirer?
What say the Republicans of the
Union to it What says their most
partisan organ, the Daily Advertis-
G, Let us have its own words
"The Republicans of Lynn held an
immense ratification meeting, last
night, in Music Hall, Wendell
Phillips made his first appearance
upon Republican platform, and
made a speech giving the strongest
reasons for supporting the Philadel-
phia candidates" And this same
speech receives the commentator of
all Republican journals.
Inscribe it, then, gentlemen, in all
its nerve, pith and candor, on your
banners gB"Long live Ulysses
Grant! May he continue to be-
President of the United States unit
every white man over forty years o
age, who lives South of Mason ant
Dixon's line, has been forever pu
into the ground" sd
The editor of the Post says
The remarkable sentiments uttered
/ by Mr.. Wendell Phillips at Lynn
fully justify the pungent criticism o.
our correspondent" The man on
horse back was never more clearl y
pointed out; and it is notable that
the first formally partisan speech OF
Mr.. Phillips should he one proposing
dictatorship in the plainest Ian
guage. Promptly and even enthu-
siastically, the Granite journals ap-
plaud the sentiment, and re- echo the
aspiration that Grant may occupy
the Prudential chair until every
Southern white'man over forty years
of age shall be put forever into the
ground, Thirty years, at least, ant
and possibly double that time, IS th'
only limit Republicans put TO tn
arbitrary rule of one man; and VIII
can suppose that, when they hay
accomplished such a lease of power
Grant will give his Imperial author
itv! 1t is not reassuing - lear'
in the words of the Daiiy, that ;hl
is the strongest reason ior support
