Wendell Phillips.

One of our citizens who often listened to the delightful oratory of Wendell Phillips says: Tn 1860 was one of an audience of over two thousand people who, in the large hall of the Cooper Union, New York, heard with such breathless attention that 8 pin fall might have been noticed through the room that wonderful peroration of MT. Phil lips famous lecture upon Toussaint L'OVer- ture, in which he said substantially: When some future historian shall write the chron- icles of the ages, he will name among the representative men of all times-Phocion of Greece, Brutus of Rome, Hampdsn of England, Lafayette of France, Washington, the bright consummate flower of oar own earlier history; John Brown, of our later sunbeams he will transcribe far above them all, in the clear blue, the name of the hero, the statesman, the martyr Toussaint LOverture.' Wendell Phillips never lived upon level with the thought of his time. Piercing throug gh the clouds below the mountain heights he emerged therefrom into the pure ether beyond. There, from his wondrous voice, in words musical as flute notes but far reaching ss trumpet sounds, came the invitation to the multitude below to come up thither. He lived to see the throng press upon his recent footsteps, and then he went up higher. If were his public eulogist, I might say that with the narVelOuSly tempered SlIVeE uaumoE OA A1S eloquence he struck from the f1inty indiffer- ence of the time sparks of truth that with electric power vivifed the paralyzed con- science of the nation.
 Ut is with i'll grace that one of Connecti- cuts representatives in Congress objects to the considering of resolution in honor of the name of Wendell Phillips. Does that rep resentative stin harbor the same unhappy feelings as when Gas was reported) he made the idle threat that Massachusetts troops should, if they passed through Connecticut to the seat of war, pass over his dead body?"
