A Story OF Wendell PhilIinS.

A little PENNSYLVANIA hamlet had
been thrown into commotion by the ar
rival of slave hunters from the South
one day when the abolition agitation
was a. its hight The obnoxious fugi-
tive slave law gave them protection.
Wendell Philips WAS to speak in that
town that night The fanatics and
cav ana order" people we're all stirred
up Some uneasy spirits predicted
trouble 4 trial before the local
justice was TO come of in the evening
at the same hour of the Phillips meet
ing The trial was to determine
whether black woman and a black
man. claiming TO he husband and wife,
should be delivered up, with their
three children, to the Legree creatures,
who, armed with abundant legal pro-
cesses, we're bent on taking them to
Georgia cotton fields, whence, it was
alleged. they had run away. When
Wendell Phillips came upon the plat
form that night his hall was not filled;
many Of his sympathizers we're with
the rest Of the town down at the
Justices court The orator had been
told Of the excitement in town; those
who had come TO hear him expected
storm Of the indignant eloquence fitted
to this local text. They were disap
pointed. He spoke scarce five minutes,
and when he retired it was abruptly
The courtly, polished Bostonian was
rude IL his conduct. The
trial in the Justices court was
long Abolitionists were inclined to
dispute the Southern claim inch by
inch. A message delivered to the
Judge in the middle OF the trial stayed
proceedings for a minute or two that
that officer might step into an ante
room to see q caller IN this ante-room
were locked up the five human beings
whose fate was in the balance. When
the Judge returned to the bench he
seemed unusually stern; he repre-
manded every man who spoke in the
fugitives' behalf, talked theoretically of
unfolding the law, the countrys safe
guard, and in language that admitted
of no misunderstanding announced
again ard again that his decision would
deliver up the negroes again to servi-
tude. He seemed strangely intent on
argument, unnecessarily conbative,
and for no reason so much as his volu-
billy the trial stretched out to the edge
OF midnight. Then when adjourn ment
came the Justice with some ado hand
ed over an order TO the gentleman from
the South to remove the property.
But that back room was empty; the
birds had flown. And the people who
had arranged to entertain Wendell
Phillips that night waited up till morn.
ing broke all in vain. No Wendell
Phillips came; he had disappeared as
mysteriously as had the negroes OF
that nnte-room. There were folks who
put two and three together; there were
folks who didn't wonder when at thenext
election the Abolition vote went solid
for The rebel Justice. His sterness, his
Southern sympathy and long-winded
oratory had been sham; he had fol-
lowed instructions from Wendell Phil
lips, and giving the father and mother
and children time to push on many q
mile toward freedom further North

Probably no unphysical argument
addressed TO genuine dynamiters would
be likely to have any powerful effect.
But words may not be entirely misap-
piled when addressed TO certain Ameri-
can politicians who seem at times to
hesitate in their attitude toward dyna-
miters themselves. the aiders and abet-
tors of dynamiters, or the sentimental
reason for hesitation is generally obvi-
ous 1t is question Of political votes
of personal or party success.
Well, there is one thing to be said to
such doubling and hesitating politi-
clans: Gentlemen, you are making
mistake. To use an expression made
popular, we believe, by Gen. Hawley
some years ago in regard to a very diff
ferent question. dynamiting is mot the
American way!" The methods of the
assassin, of the sneaking and cowardly
murderer are not, and never will be.
popular in this country. 1t is true that
two of our Presidents have met their
death at the hands of the illegal taker
of life, but there was no popular sup
port to either mad and murderous act.
Lynch-law, on cur borders especially,
has had too much vogue, but this is de-
creasing; and there ~ long distance
between lynching o william who it is
feared may escape justice, and the das-
tardly and reckless use of explosives,
where invaluable works of art, and in
nocent men, women, and children, to-
gether with the supposed "oppressor,
are COMPOUNDED In common destruc-
ton.
Let the question once be brought to
an issue in our American communities,
and the politician who hesitates to de-
nounce dynamite, ami all that goes
with it,-all cowardly and conscience
less attempts to settle either public or
private questions by means of private
and secret violence, such man is lost.
Hewill find too late that his Difference to
an unreasoning, brutal, and restricted
sentiment has brought him into contact
with the great, sound. uncowardly, law
abiding sentiment of the people of these
