Show ; Illy W. U. TolcsrnpIi.J i:.M)ELL I'llllMVN I,tTT;it. New York, 17. In his letter to tho colored citizens of Boston, Wendell . Phillips says Sumner is the dupe and endorses Greeley, the tool of the con-I con-I p pi racy between the northern eopper-j eopper-j hcada and the secessionists of the j south. It has been often announced, I and in the last instance, by the lips of ; Jefferson Davis, that tho southern , cause was not lost, and that it tuuat bo ! won by gcttiug-qjosscssion of tho go-' go-' vernmeut and Icaviug us in the oipo-! oipo-! sition. Such is the present plot. That Greely sees it would never prevent his aiding it. That Sumner does not see it is a matter of profound astonish-. astonish-. meat. At such a moment the regular , Republican parly becomes again the accepted and only instrumental resis-, resis-, tuncc, and Grant represents loyalty as Lincoln did in IsOl. If general U rant is set aide, who is offered in his place": j Greeley, 1 need not all you, my friends; what Horace Greeley is. We ; Abolitionists knew him too well. In tho weary years of our struggle ho had j enough of clear moral vision to see the juatico of our couise, but he never had courage- enough to confess his faith. If events had ever given him tbe courage he never would have bad principle enough to risk anything lor an idea. A niumier by nnture and purpose, be hii abused even an American Amer-ican ptJilieian's privilege uf trading principles for suee-.-s. iiut for the i lack ol ability lie wouM have b -cu the chiei time-server of his ao. 1 never ' knew nil iw any ut hn eulogist so ! needless and indienujinaiiu. ux ever i I to claim that ho a sincere man. |
