An cd Republican Speaks.

The following is an extract from the
speech of Wendell Philips, delivered in
Philadelphia, on Monday evening:
What the South needs to-day is the
element which Charlemagne, William
the Conqueror, and Cromwell contribut-
ed to their times-tte heavy hand and
fearless grasp which holds disorderly
and struggling forces quiet, until peace
tempts and wins to action the elements
which mould our modern civilization,
capital, labor, commerce, education,
hope, and equality before the law. Half
of what Grant gained for us at Appo-
mattox Hayes surrendered in Washing
ton on the 9th of March.
We need only the inaugural and
Cabinet of Hayes from which to fore.
cast his future. The Cabinet of Lincoln
was one made of Trimmer's. Except
Stanton and Cameron, every member
believed in whiting down justice to
suit customers. Grants Cabinet was
one of Mediocrities. He seems to have
shrunk from counselling with first-rate
men. Hayes Cabinet reminds one of
a story of Turner, the English painter.
He had hung up at the exhibition a
painting suDdued in color. AS he stud
led it on the wall the canvas seemed to
fade out Of sight in the presence of its
bright rivals. After gazing awhile
Turner flung a drop of bright red on
the centre of his piece, and the picture
glowed into startling effect. So can
see Hayes gathering his Cobnet. There
is Sherman, who will leave name
linked to no measure or idea-his only
record that he entered Congress poor
and leaves it rich. Evarts reminds one
of the Protestant riots In London, when
men chalked on their closed shutters
"No POpery" to conciliate the mob.
One timid citizen, anxious to stand well
with both sides, cnalked up "No Re-
ligion." Amid this death grapple be-
tween Caste and the Declaration of In
dependence, Evarts writes on his flag,
