Mr. rhillips having been introduced to the
audience, proceeded to speak as follows:
A YEAR AGO AND NOW.
Ladies and Gentlemen: This is the 25th day
f October, 18C6. On the 2."th day of October,
1665, standing on tbla platform, I ventured to
say tbat the President of the United States,
instead of being a mistaken friend, was a deter
mined enemy of the republic; tlmt instead ot
being a comrade to be conciliated, he was a loo
to be opposed; thai instead of a bulwark to bide
behind, ho was an obstacle to be removed. -1
ventured to Bay that the Robcliion, defeated In
Virginia, bad taken up its headquarters in the
White House. About one-tenth of my audience
accepted the statement, anJ nine-tenths received
it with hisses or silent indignation. An event
ful j ear baa rolled over our beads since; and 1
think it tbe proportion were taken in any
audience in the land to-night, the nuuubcr tbat
d Ween ted irom me then would agree with me
to-day. (Some applause.)
TUB PRErtlPENT TDK TOOL OF THE BKBEI.S.
Her plot is )ust what It wa-i in 1801 -to be
the Government; and in thirty davs alter the
death of Lincoln stie had her tool her will
ing, conscious, pliable tool seated in the
White House. (.Cheers.) They say Johnson
hag betrayed the Republican party. Betrajed
it 1 To whom f To Weed, to Richmond, to
Cagger, to tbe Democrats? No I He didn't
stop long enough even to ba counted in that
camp. lie betrayed both to the actual Rebels
south ot the Luc. Your cuildieo, in my
opinion, if my instincts are right, will seethe
evidence in black and white before the 4ih of
July, 1867. Andy Johnson was hand in glove
not with the Democratic party he didn't
linger long enough In ihatcauip to betray u
tut hand and glove, with thrs prisoner at For
tress Monroe and his coadjutors. (Aoplituse.)
Yen, the peril through which the republic
found its way will appear in fifty years' time
infinitely more fearful than it doe now. His
tory does not show us a dingle instance of a
large majority surrendering its purpose after
one unsuccessful eflort.
And to-day the South, under the leadership of
Andrew Johnson, renews its purpose, as every
ujujuniy iius uune unaer similar circuin
fight tbat same tight between oligarchy and
freedom over again inside the Hue. Thin hnttia
bM to be fought over again by us as the nation.
I believe this, that the President of the United
Stales lor the last twelve mouths has been the
conscious agent of the leading Reoels at the
South to continue this war in ita new phiise in
the phase in whioh they originally meant to
origiuate It they to be tbe Government, seated
in Washington, recognized by foreign nations,
with control ot the treasury, of the army, and
ot the navy.
1 CABINET FICTTjRB.
Well, what have we to lobk to to meet that
plot? What (nave we to protect us fr.im this
vile rebellion, which the l'resideae btmtielf Iirh
instituted within the lust Fix months t There is
the Cabinet is that nothing r What are its
materials? An Attorney-General, selected be
cause he would be a ready tool of the President
because his experience in the dirty practices of
liia piofession have made htm lit for the lob; a
Secretary of tbe Treasury, f much at one with
his master that in the lolloping out of this pro
ject he is more likely to be tbe tempter than the
tempted; a Secretary of tbe Navy, whose incom
petency for the work Is such that hia very hold
ing of the otiiee is a farce, and whose
thorough corruption is so notorious that any
honest act in his Administration must have been
on nversieht and a mistake (lautrhterl a mun
who never had any opinions, but who was j
always ready to surrender himself to the bid
ding ot his master; a Secretary of War, whose j
career is utterly inexplicable; his next act may
give us tbe key tbat will mane it intelligible on
the theory of honor, but at present it hangs
nnder a cloud; a Secretary of State, whose best
friends condone his weakness on tbe sole ground
that age has dimmed the energy ot his prime
(sensation) is there any force in tbat Cabinet to
withstand iUchier?
THU VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,
But Congress and tbe Republican -party exist
and they can withstand him. Well, the Repub
lican party is mighty; tbe States have spoken
unanimously spoken but tbe States which have
to speak will tpcak more unanimously still,
r&pplause.)
WHAT THB BEFFBLICANS PROMISE.
But the Republican party undertakes to pro
imise in the canvass that, these amendments
accepted, the South will bo admitted. But you
, aay to me this is not a fair statement. I allow
it needs no addition, for the state ot the political
.canvass is unprecedented. Rut all I have said
is fair when the leading journals and national
.and State committees hold this langnnee. Go
with me to the caucuses addressed Ty General
Wilton, of Massachusetts; Ashley, of Ohio;
.iniW Kel!ev. of 1'hiladelDhia: bv Governor
Banks, of my own State, and by Bout well, of
Groton by any man from Massachusetts to St.
Louis, standing lace to lace with his constitu
ents. Wbat is his language? Tbat be would
jiot admit a sinelo Southern State till tbe black
roan has a vote. And while tbe Tribune and
1'oel and the whole of the national and State
committees are pledging to the South this boon,
the leading men of the Republican party, face
to face with their constituents, are declaring
that tbey believe nesjro suffrage indispensable
to any sale reconstruction.
Banks bets gone further, and told his consti
tuents in Kssex that not only was he himself
convinced thoroughly that negro sufl'ratre is the
inevitable and indispensable clement of any
just and Fafe reconstruction, but tbat be knows
for a fact that the maloiity of tbe House ot
Representatives believethe same thing. (Cheers.)
And why did they not vote for it? Go to the
people's caucuses, and you will there tlnl every
man in lavor of negro suftrage, and you go
mi to the House of Representatives, anl then
is there no man for suffrage. You may remem
ber reading that when Charles Lamb was a
vountfster he was taken to the burying ground,
and he there read all the tombstones full of
praises of the dead; he turned to his moiher
and aske: "Motner, where do all the bad
folks go V (Laughter.)
So when you have heard these impartial suf
frage speeches In caucuses, you go to the House
ot Representatives and ask where suffrage is,
and echo answers where f It reminds me of a
person who, when a lury broueht him in guilty,
eaid, "Gentlemen, individually you have my
deepest respect; but as a jury my thorough con
tempt " lLauohter.) So I am forced to sav to
tboec individual speakers in Maine and Indiana
and 'Ohio and Pennsylvania Gentlemen, w?ou
Lave my unmitigated and unmixed confidence
and respect; but in the House of Representa
tives yon have my unmitigated contempt. (Ap
plause and laughter.) .
IHK CONSTITUTION A BWINDL1.
I There never baa been a compromise in Ameri
can political history. We have elevated a
rwindl into a cemrom.lie and dignified it wu
stances, sne leaped into the saddle the day
Lee's army surrendered, and to-day her obieot
to to take possession of the White House, mid
he name. The white rare of the North and
the white rare of tbe South came together in
1789, and sacrificed to their joint advantage the
rights of the absent black. A swindle, and they
called it a compromise. Prussia and Rula
met together and dismembered Poland, sepa
rated it into fragments, annexed it to their re
spective kingdoms, and called It a compromise.
A swindle I
TBI CONSTITUTION it AMENDMENT DITTO.
The House of Representatives and the Senate,
seated under that dome in safety, because tour
millions of blncks held their place in tbe soale
while the balance trembled between North and
South, with a Rebel President, swindled their
allies ont of their rlehts and gave it to the coun
try as a compromise.
TBE "T4UBUNE" A SUPPORTER "OF BAREFACED
SWINDLES.
And the New York Tribune bowed to it. as it
has bowed to every other barefaced swindle tor
twenty years. (Laughter and applause.) And
Mr. Gieeley says it I would be only soft spoken
and conciliate, it I would only use gentle terms
and lead men without their knowing where 1
Yes, he paints himself driving Jell". Davis into
impartial suffrage, while the great Rebel thinks
he Is running to the establishment of the Con
federacy; like the irishman and bis pig who
thought he was goinz to Cork while turning his
lace to Dublin. (Laughter.) A suirswtive pic
ture, but which is the pig and which the driver?
(Roars of laughter.)
THE NKGROE8 THROWN OVERBOARD.
But it is no matter of merriment, for the Re
publican party do not beiieve tnat these Consti
tutional amendments are conducting them to
Impartial suu'raee. The masses may be delnded
for a moment into the idea, but the leaders
know and accept tbe amendments because they
know that they are conducting to the perpetuity
of their own party, and, possibly, tithe salva
tion of the national finances. Tbey know it in
their own hearts, and they accept and enforce
them because they know that, in order to per
petuate the party aud save tbe finances, they
throw overboard the burden of the negro's
claiinp.
GREELEY NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
That very same leader, your great, and even
in some respects, meritorious journal, eighteen
months ago. when 1 undertook by way of pro
test to announce that it ever the Congress of
the United States accepted the'Southern debt, I
wou d agitate lor its repudiation to my dying
dar, and thus advertised them ot it before
handthat very same journal warned me not
to run a .iit against wiudmllls eighteen moulhs.
Later, to-day, these sain statesmen pas the
Constitutional amendment to avoid that very
conjunction which eighteen months ago
they called a windmill. (Laughter and ap
plause.) And these are the radical statesmen
you are called upon to trust;! I d ..n't deny
the service!' of that great editor any more than
I do the services of Senator Wilson. I don't ask
you not to respect them. I only ask you not to
trust them. (Renewed laughter and applause.)
The Constitutional amendment, as far as the
nepro is concerned, is a swindle. Don't pollute
the respectable word com promise by applying
it to the Constitutional amendment. The negro
is sacrificed to political exigencies: he is "round
between the upper and nether inilf-stoncs of the
Repnblicau party.
THE RtBEL DEBTS.
If you exclude the wgro from voting, how
long will it. bo before the old dominant race at
the South assumes Its former position nt the
head of the State ? How long on the position of
finance will they remain in the minority ? How
long will it be before tbey have the same political
nirenirth tbey bad belore 1861? 1'hey have
ued it for hfty years with unmitigated triumph
except in tbe one matter of Kansas. Why
should they fuil in time to come? Vice-President
Hannibal Hamlin told you tbe other night,
it not on this platform, on some other, how be was
uppioiiched in the Texas demands with, bonds
offered at five dollars which his vote was to
make worth a hundred in twenty-four hours.
With millions upon millions of other securities
floating in the House ot Representatives, with
fifty or sixty Southerners wielding them, how
soon will not revolutionary enthusiasm chill and
the ordinary temperature of political virtue bo
reached? How soon will the financial question
be made a football, as every other political ques
tion was when the South was dominant of old.
REJECT THE AMENDMENT.
The Constitutional amendment Is not only a
swindle it would give us back to the same po
litical denomination that ruled this country up
to 1860. Put your foot upon it. Scud it drift
ing, and send Congress back to its hall to ndmit
no Southern territory at present not, perhaps,
till long after the 4th of March, 1809. I don't
believe in reconstruction, with streets running
down with blood and free speech suicidal. The
South la repealing once mere her old maxims.
Tbey must be rooted up, smothered up. and
covered over with the rich growth of Northern
emigration and brains aud money belore you
can begin to talk aoout reconstruction.
TBE IMPEACHMENT OF THE "REBEL-IN THE WHITE
HOUSE."
In' Older to this, tbe very first task I would set to
the reassembled Congest before they loon at the
amendments .:" ttr the word reconstruction, is to
impeach the Rebel in the White Uoue. (Great and
prolonged applaaso.l Lot the traitors ot Louisiana
and South Carolina take care of theniselvet We
are rows to attend to that machine the Govern
ment that belongs to n. (Cheers.) The first pro
cess to comtuenoe, I say, is to impeaon the Rebel
who has usurced tbe fuuctions of President. (Con

jaw or no law, tstate or no state, iimueu autnoruy
or omnipotence no matter what a mob and tho
result.
IMPEACH ANV DEPOSE.
Impeach the moboorat of the White House as the
first st-p, and tbe s.cond stop is depose him. ( Ap.
plause, ) Ad impeachment is of no va'ue it, whi e ic
drasrsit slow lenirtb through the Senate Cbamber

I know men ihrinK from this, and say it .is an
attempt at interfering with tbe functions of the
juteonuve. vui tne twustitution UDueriasei 10

There is no chance that in ordinary times tbe Presi

liable to inipeaohinetit. buch an emercreney as the
present, such an uprising of tho popular entbuslasm
as tho civil war, has left us tbe only concurrence of
C'rcumstaucos that renders it possiole, aud that
same emoreeDoy dictates that we should ex haunt
the arsenal ol constitution! weapous to make It
efllcmnt. As in the case of the hnaiish nation In
1088 maklnff the law of the realm inside tbe con
stitutional piocedents a iarce and a sham, it would
be a farce and a sham to attempt to try the irei
dent while he remains in ofline.
In the nature ol the trial, in the concurrences of
the constitutional re mod v, there is nothing to re
pudiate the step, while there is evervtblng in the
ciu'ouistanoci to diotate it. I say, tnerefor, im

United States brea'hajhe breath of lU own sp rit

These are rood argunwti, sayi the Tribune, but you

ITAB'LITT IN GOVERNMENT A GREAT DEFBCT.
Gentlemen, tbe great deloot in onr Uovornmoat Is
that when we once accept a pivotal man we have to
keep him for tonr ers. Andrew Jackson wnnn
once plrnted on this tioverumont lasted tor four
yean. It is a rreat defect, pe. haps an Inevitable
one, in the machinery ol republican institutions. In
hug ai d, when the people are weary of Earl John,
in an tonr tiiev have Karl Derby. In twelve hours,
if thev are weary ot him, tbev may put John llngtit
at the head ot tbe Government. (Cheers.) The

it atintooratlo level, otieys at onoo the re educated

In ortlinarv times we shonid be obliged to bear

Jolinson is but a weed, to be lorgottcn, 1 hope, to

great national duty. This is our only object. It
seems to me tbat in talking of men on this qnestlon
we forget the very essence otoor duty; wears chop
ping logic. We aro amusing ourselves with emptv
words, while wo are constantly lore. ting that our
oi. I y and indispensable work is not yet even btguu.
Not only that, but we have not arranged the

HUMILIATINO POSITION OF GENERAL GRANT.
Here Is Genet al Giant, (he aimed baud or the
Government, and men l.uk his name wiih euliuuW
of honor. While Andy Johnson is responsible, in a
primaty tene. lor tbe mussacre at New Orleans, in
a tru sense Ulysses Grant is icsponstble also. ( A
uead silence. ) 1 be most humiliating position occu
pied to-t.av by any United States man on this con.
titieutis occupied by Ulvsses Grant. (An individual
on ilio platform attempted to endorse this sentiment
by clapping his hands, but the a'idionoo indulged in
a vi rv gaueral reprobation of It by hissing, and cries
of "No, no.") Mr. i'hiilips, lesumlog, said: Well,
yon h is me.
Have we conquered New Orleans or have we not?
Does it belong to us cr to Jo.i. xiavis? (A voice, in
a verr faint tone, "Davis.") It does. The theory
is it belongs to us. It it does, wbose btisinoss U it
to sco that the streets of New Orleans are safe for
everv man who has a light to walk under the flag ?
(ibe same weak voice, "Grant's.") Tne armed hand
of tt e Government, wreathed In tobacco smoito and
tallied in the rott breezes ot the lake, white tna
national bai.nor was clinging in every .Southern
city to ttio flagstaff, heavy with Union blood! Ima
gine Iicland in reboilton. Imagine it subdued.
Imagine tbe news to oomo to London whilo tno
Iron Dnke" field tho W ar Oflico, that an Engltih
man cheering lor Victoria bad been murdered in
tbe at reel ol Cork.
Do you suiipooe Wellington would have gone on a
private iauni with the Queen to the Isle ot Wight or
the Highlands? He wou d have been, in six hours,
in the street ot Cork ; and it tbore had been soldiers
enough in tne-Hritlnn Empire, it would h .ve been
sato lor Englishmen to walk tho?e streets. (Ap
plause ) General Grant can anticipate trouble in
Maryland. He knows beforehand tbat there niav be
bloodshed in the streots oi Baltimore, and he can
hold long Cabinet councils with this man and that
to see that there is no riot tbat can lavor radicalism
lu Baltimore.
W by did be no, know of a riot In New Orleans?
If he did not know, why aid be not hurry to the
spot? I claim it or the war arm of tne Government
tbat if we have conquered the South, it should oe
sate lor a Northern man auywoere where tho flag
floats. (A plause ) What is it to me tbat the flag
floats in satoty on Faneuil Hall, as it has done for
sixty years? if General Grant is a general, at the
head of the military foroos ol the United States, he
is there to inaae tuat flag my protection as much at
Memphis as in tbe streets ot Boston.
GRANT AND THE PRESIDENT.
If he has not troops enougb to do it, why don't he
cometoConrrecs and say so? If be bas troops enough
to do it, why didut he? Doe any man hinder
mmr ii were i any Hindrance, u ii nis ouiy 10 ceil
os about it, (Checrs.l If the bead of thena ioual
forces is not permitted to make the streots of tbe
nation sale lor its citizens, who is it that hinders
him? Ihattaot he owes to the nat'on. imagine
the nnanimitv of tbe Northern rebuke, aud the
utter, abso ute annihilation ot Andy Johnson, if
Ulysses Giant had said at the time of tbe New
Orleans massacre, "1 wanted to prevent it, but was
not petmitteo."
W hat I claim of Northern men, politicians, and
generals alike is, that it to their knowledge there is
treason in turn places they should say so. (Cheers.)
I don't ask them to submit to the indignity of otfioe
when they are not permitted to discharge i s duties.
Now, while New Orleans and Memphis aie possible,
I assert again, and I say that .you will agree with
me, that tho most humiliating position occupied by
an American is held by the General of the United
BtateSj (Hisses, aiid some app aiis. )
OBANT AND BEN BUTLER.
I have compared him to an Englishman. Let me
at the risk ot some Stato partiality come near borne,
l'ut our Ben Butler in his position. (Loud laughter,
cheers, and hisses, equally intermixed.) Give him
command ol tbe force of the Uuitod States. (More
laupb er, app)aue, and disapproval.) Do you be
lieve New Orleans would have been possible? (Cries
oi "No," ''Yes," and continued meniment.) But
it by some unforeseen accident it had taken
place, do you suppose that Mayor Monroe would
have lived to.flav to boat that be had
defied tbe Government ot the United States, and
pouted out InlUie streets of New Or eans the blood of
its most loyal citizens? Men say Grant stays in his
position lost tbe President should put a worse man
in. Do you suppose that Congress would permit
this if Grant should resign? Do you suppose the
arni of tbe United (States oould be lod by any ono
against fcherman and Grant with Congress behind
tbem? It is tho idlest fa seliood iu (he world.
TBE QUESTION OV TBE SAT.
Wo have a set of men in power, one-half of whom
aro intentional traitors, ana the other half propose
to watt untd the 4th oi Marco, leaving thu Govern
mei.t to hitch and stagger on witn a ftraitor at the
W lute House. I want to hear nothing about Consti
tutional amendments. I want to hear nothing about
roeou. traction I don't caie what becomes of Jeff.
Davis. He is older than the ark. (Laughter ) Tbe
question of bis punishment landed on Mount Ararat
and coos to picoes thane. (Continued laughier ) The
qcestionot to-day is whether the President is to be
allowed for two years to bold the Government over
the edge of Niagara, and wi elher Senators and
Lieu tenant-Generals aro to stand irom motives of "ti
que' to silent, and journals are to preaoh concilia
tion. I sav, Nol Tbe war is not ended The fight
recommences in a n-w shape. If General Grant
has sui rendered as Sbermau rid to Johnston if he,
like Sherman, has surrendered to Johnston, let us
knowir. ibis people aro bound ana sure O save
thu nation. Wo have got every element upon our
side. Co Bridge said that Governments were made
up or three elements: One, and the first, was sub
missiou to the laws, tbe power ot co-operation, t le
power to aot together; seooud, alleglauoa to some
thing, to law or ebartei ; and the tund was, loving
your national brother better than any other taiug
In tbe world.
1 he North had these three elements the South
had not. We were organised ; we wero law-abiding
citizens, we worshipped tbe common law of the Con
stitutiou. It atood to us In the p aoe of Bonaparte
to Frenchmen or Cbarlos tjtuartlo a Highlaudinau.
Illinois and Massachusetts. Ohio and New York,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were bound to each
other closer thaa any other States oa the face of tbe
glob. Tbe element ot nationality were ours, and
with the army and nary La onr hands w were sure
to crush out Rebellion, and we are sure to do tt
again to-day. (Cieat applanse ) Bnt all we want is
an honest, plain-spoken, intelligent man to our leal
BE DOES NOT FEAR TBE PRESIDENT,
1 do not fear the President. Fear him t No! I
never icad one of hit speeches, I never heard of one
ot his acts thai I was not reminded or a siory I have
read ot the manner the Russian peasants on the
outermost province of Russia nave ot Rilling tno
bear. lbee peasant are too poor to buy niuikcts,
and the bear's aide is impervious to any arrows
they can make, so the banters practise upon the
Ik m 's creduiitv. The bear loves honey ana will do
anything to obtain It. So they go to an empty bee's
net and fasten a peg above a hoie where the beos
have built, and from this peg they hang a cannon
ball or large stone and wheu the bear comes to
push bl bead In lor the honey ho moves the stone
and it comes back upon him with force. Angry at
the blow be gives it another toss, and it returns on
him with stronger force.
Iio raises himself again, and in his rage he pushes
the moving penou nm witn greater sirepgtu, but
back it comes with additional momentum, when he
swiiigs round the whole circle, to use a late pbiase.
(Laughter.) Well, now. Vermont was a good bio,
but Maine waa better. Ohio was appalling, hut In
diana was terrifio, and Pennsylvania was a settler.
(Great laughter.) When Ma actio setts and New
York, and Illinois, and all tue rest oi the Stales
swing in tbe ciiole, we will have no I oar or tbat indi
vidual obstacle. (Laughter.)
ANXIOUS THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN PARTJT.
It is not through htm that my anxiety exists. It
Is through the licpubllcan party, anl Congress
itseit, for the sake of its Ovvn expedienov measures,
and feariul ot aeh other, and fearlul of certain
re-ults. are anxious to postpoue iho battle; as it
when Lee and Giant met in their final eno ia.it r

then postponed tue fight f-r twelve months.
NO POSTPONEMENT OF THE CONTEST
No postponement of tbe fight till the 4th day or
March, 1869. Tne fight began on the 5th day ol De
cember, 1806, and irom that hour the machine in to
be exclusively ours. Do your ooty, and iu 186) wo

TRAITORS IN THB WRITE HOUSE.
