A Wendell philips Reminis
Mconla News


The writer recalls to mind an in
stance of one of Mr.. Philips remark
able triumphs in old Faneuil Hall
on the occasion Of one of the visits
Of George Thompson, the emissary
of the English abolitionists, to this
country. 1t was somewhere about
1850. Opposition to the prevailing
anti-slavery agitation then ragged
high in Boston. Thompson was stig-
matized as the paid agent of those
Englishmen who desired to destroy
the United States Government, and
Democrats deemed it patriotic duty
to prevent him from speaking or be-
ing heard. They filed the hall at an
early hour, and when the meeting
had been organized the bowling mob
commenced their hideous noise. The
platform was crowded with the lead
ing 'abolitionists- harrison, Foster,
Burlingame and the like. All the
attempts Of Thompson to be heard
was unavailing; the bowling, shrek
ing and groaning was kept up inces-
sanity by the mob. Other speakers
met with the same fate. Burlin-
game, one Of the most snowy orators
of the school, had to give up the at
tempt ,as did all others save Wendell
Philips, who at once silensed the
hall, commanding attention by one
Of the most eloquent appeals address
ed to the justice Of his hearers, ever
heard in that old revolutionary tenn
pie Of liberty, mingled with the
shar pest sarcasm against their at
tempt to stifie free speech. He was
heard patiently throughout, and his
was the only speech allowed on the
occasion. It was an involuntary
tribute to the genius Of oratory such
as has seldom been paid, and stamp
ed Wendell Philips al the greatest of
American orators.
