was generally understOod he would reply to
the attack hfade on Kim last week, BY Wen
deIl fhllllps in his lecture on the SoGth.


Inc GENERAL dweb at some length on the
| question that has been raised touching his
rights OF citizenship in Massachusetts, be-
eanse ne was not sure whether the people of
his district were satisfied in their own minds
whether he was citizen or not. His expla-
nation covered his whole course of life since
he left the state five years ago. As to the
fact of connection with the New Orleans bar.
he said he was admitted by virtue of his
being a member of the bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States.


In allusioh to the aspersion of Phillips,
who asserted that he was followed by the
curses of every loyal man in Louisiana, the
General said that his administration in
Louisiana, was in direct and religious con-
formity TO the orders Of Mr.. Lincoln. There
was not an act in his life in connection with
the freedmen of Louisiana, which, when
properly presented, would not receive the
approval of the people of Massachusetts.
There was not single order, regulation
or principle in his policy that would not be
approved, when properly explained, by
good men in the South. He had heard that
1t had been asserted by man of large ora
torical powers, that a Major General had
withheld the pay of the colored soldiers on
the pretense OF supporting their friends and
of providing them with situations. This
unquestionably referred to him, and he
would answer it by saying that there was
not word of truth in such an assertion.
He had never withheld money from colored
soldiers for any purpose. On the contrary,
he had provided them with houses, &C., and
when he left Louisiana there were 10000
negroes, by his proclamation, in the day
and Sunday schools of that State


He did not claim to belong to the class
who think they can by the power of their
intellect and force of their oratory control
affairs better than Providence, and see into
futurity with such unfailing vision. No
man, whatever may be his capacity, can
change to falsehOOd or Overturn current his |
tory. He did not hesitate TO say that what
ever judgement may be passed on other of
his public acts, his course in Louisiana, if |
understood, will be regarded as most hon
orable.


The remainder of the speech is mainly a |
repetition of that delivered last week in |
Music Hall.

Thurlow Weed replies with much Sc
verify to General SlOeuRs gratuitous at
tack upon him. He says: "Of General
Slocl.t1. when in the Legislature, asked
nothing but that he should discharge MS
duty faithfully and honestly. never,
directly or indirectly, intimated wish
that he should vote for or against any rail
road or other measure Of personal
or pecuniary character. In short, l did
not exchange word with Geueral SlOcum
upon any legislative question other than
such as related to the public welfare. With
this knowledge, and in a manner 'unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman, he
CONVEYS the idea that l sought to induce
him to vote for certain swindling railroad
bills" Also: "When the war ended, L
met General Slocum at the Astor House,
! His manner was more than usually cor
| dial. In the brief conversation that en-
| sued. he spoke quite emphatically on his
enduring personal regard tor me. 1t IS
apparent now that the inglOriOus bargain
with Copperhead John A. Green, which
leaves General Slocum shorn of consist
encv. patriotism, and fidelity, was even
then consummated; and that with lin
gerinr sense of personal justice and honor,
he intended to say that, though ne might
