THE BENJ1VIN LETTER.

The card from Mr. ThurlOw Weed Barnes III
Yesterdays TRIBUNE, makes clear his good
faith in using III his memoirs of Thurlow Weed
tbe letter ascribed to Judah =. Benjamin,
n1intcd in THE TRIBUNE II week ago. Men
will differ, however, as to whether he
furnishes sufficient evidence for his be
lief-in spite of Mr. Benjamin,s re-
ported denial In the authenticity of the
letter. Mr.. Weed thought it genuine
and meant to use it. The gentleman who fur
nished it to Mr.. Weed thought it genuine, and
is understood to have been in n position
that might have enabled him to know.
Mr.. Barnes certainly explains away some OF
the most plausible objections raised in the sharp
newspaper discussion the letter has aroused.
1t is easier, forexample, to understand why even
q Senator might seek Consurs aid in getting
at a Foreign Minister, when We arc reminded
that the Minister was new to this country, and
was then and for months afterward absent from
Washington.
Still, argument Is not proof, and till Mr.,
Barnes gives the name of the gentleman who
vouched to his grandfather for the letter,
many will doubt 1t. On the other hand,
some will as positively refuse to accept Mr.. Ben
jamin's reported denial as final. With no dis
position to detract from his well-earned fame
in England, they simply say there was nothing

VENDELL PHILLIPS.

1t is impossible to understand the character
and career of Wendell Phillips without re-
membering some things in the history OF the
last generation which we would much rather
forget. There is no danger now that the services
rendered to humanity by the old radical
abolitionists, or the courage with which they
upheld their cause, or their influence upon the
National conscience, will ever be underesti-
mated what we are apt to overlook is the real
nature of the opposition against which they
fought. To tell the truth, the pro-slavery spirit
at the North was a devil of a disgustingly base
and vulgar character The agitators were
hated, mobbcd, outlawed, murdered, not so
much because men believed In the right to hold
slaves as because agitation was bad for trade.
The despicable commercial instinct which
underlay most of the sO-called conservatism of
the free States would be almost incredible if the
documentary proof of it were not abundant;
and it went far to Justify the contempt which
shareholders entertained for the Northern
people, until our better qualities were aroused
by the shock of war. Mr. Phillips and his COM
panOns recognized the enemy with which they
had to deal; they found ii powerful in politics,
in business, in society, in literature, in the
churches. In all these expressions of the
National life they saw fawning shOpkeeper
whose highest rule of conduct was not to offend
a customer. The vigOr and directness of their
attack made it inevitable that they should be
hated at home even more cordially than on the
other side of the line. Society cast them out /;
and in return they became enemies of society.
The great reform TO which they had dedicated
their lives came much sooner than the most
sanguine of them had hoped, and it came in a
way not chosen by them. 1t is often the fate of
refoImers to see their aims accomplished by
agencies in which they have no direct share,
and in which even their remote influence is not
at once discernible. We know now that the
@incendiaries" of the period before the war
were the forerunners of the grand uprising for
liberty and Justice; but when the contest began
not even the radicals themselves quite under
stood it, Providence was wiser than Mr.
Phillips. The popular reverence for the Union
and the Constitution, which the Boston orator
abhorred as the mainstay OF slavery, became
the irresistible agency of emancipation and the
leaders who conducted the n )vement to the
triumphant close were the politicians whom he
had loaded with invective as hounds and
imbeciles. 1t is pathetic illustration of the
blindness of man and the vanity Of human
schemes for the regeneration of society that so
