A New York Herald reporter visited
Wendell Phillips at his residence in
Boston, on Tuesday, when Mr.. Phillips
opened his mind to him very freely.
His language proves conclusively that
he Is still the same f4natical enemy of
his own race and of the country that he
was before the war. He has done enough
mischief to satisfy an ordinary devil,
but. fiend-hke. he seeks to keep up the
strife and destroy what spirit is left the
South. MIR. Phillips must know that it
IL not possible for the negro to be tine
equal OF the white man in any part of
this country. or in any other country.
Isolated cases Of negro smartness and
success may appear. But after an edu-
cation OF more than a century in the
Free States. where the negro had all the
chance that any other laborer had, be-
side the sympathetic aid of large body
Of men entertaining some of the views
OF Phillips, yet it il fact the race has
advanced but little from the position it
occupied; while all the European whites
that came to our country have made
most wonderful progress in all the arts
and sciences. Mr.. Phillips hatred Of
the white race in the South and his ex-
pressions Of love for the negro will re-
suit in no good TO the latter. The South
is anything else than what his imaeina-
tion paints it. The character Of the
Southern gentleman, scholar and states
man is SO well established through the
progressive history of the United States
that none but the most ignorant will be
deceived by the derisivs terms which
Phillips applies. The Southerner is not
near SO wild" as the wicked infidel who
delights to traduce and villify linn. In
referring to Grants letter and the Force
Bill, MIR. Phillips said:
81 like the letter. 1t does not change
my judgment, however, which is that
all things considered, Grant is emphati
cally the man for the next President.
