SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1062.
President Lincoln aud Wendell
Phillips.
The following extracts aro takon from
tho speech of Wendell Phillips, delivered
in Tremout Temple, Boston, on tho 17th
ult., and published in the Boston Post of
the following day:
"Who believed, when, a year ago to
day, tho Sixth Massachusetts Regiment
hurried to savo tho Capitol, that to-day
emancipation would bo decreed in the Dis
trict, and Northern regiments hold Virgin
ia under their feet ? Yet so it is.
Rut yet I do not think the act abolishing
slavery in tho District, broad and marked
as it is, so significant as tho message of
tho President. After all tho President is
ahead of tho manifestations of tho opinon
of tho people, llo holds out his hands to
tho millions and says " Support me !" Wo
have not yet answered him officially. That
message of his is the boldest voice yet
heard over tho continent. It moans more
than men accord to it. May I tell you a
story ? he always tells one. Jjas'1'01'
Noticing some criticisms upon his message,
ho said, "There is more in it than peoplo
sec. Did you ever hear tho story of the
Irishman who went down to tho State of
Maine in Maino Liquor Law times, and
asked for a glass of soda water, adding,
'couldn't you put a drop of tho crathcr in
it unbeknown to myoll 1' So I put a
large drop of the crathcr in it, unknown
to them." Applause.
That message says this, substantially:
"Gentlemen, now is your time to sell.
If you don't seize it, aud another twelve
months sweeps what you call proporty
from your grasp, without compensation,
never say I did not give you fair notice."
Applause. That is one-half tho message;
the other half is an arrow's flight beyond
even that, for it says this, "Gentlemen, if
you will sell, I will buy." That moans
that rebellion has given him tho right to
buy, and ho goes on to say, "If tho aboli
tion of slavery bo an efficient meaus of
ending thii war, if I find cannon unsuccos
ful, 1 shall try efficient nitiaus." In other
words, "Gentlemen, I will buy if you will
trade. If you won't trade, remember that
I have the right to tajje.' Pregnant woids!
Be happy that you live to hear them from
tho head of the Government. For the first
time in the history of tho Government, it
has done au anti slavery act, it has spoken
an anti-klavcry word. Applause. Enoug);
to havo gained in twelve mcutl;3.
The President said to a leading Repub'
lican politician of New-York, "Why don'p
you hold conventions often, and let mo
feel the wind of the nation? You cannot
crcato as much auti slavcry feeling as wo
shall need before we get thrnugh this war.'
Applause.
Give us an intelligent and avowed deter
mination and purpose that this war shall
not cud until slovcry is swept from tho
burfaco of the conttucnt.
Tho Fpccch from which wo take tho
abovo would havo attracted littjo uotico
but for the special consideration with which
Mr. Phillips was received, during his re
cent visit at tho seat of Government, by
tho President, Alec President and other
functionaries to whoso bauds tho destiny of
tht Republic is, for weal and woe, low
committed. After tho extraordinary at
tentions with which Mr. Lincoln signalized
tho adveut of Mr. Phillips at Washington,
it is not for us to say, when Mr. Phillips
assumes to cjuoto the languago of tho Pres
ident, that he does not quote correctly;
aud henco tho part which tho President
is mado to act in tho performance becomes
significant and of evil omen. In our car
nest hopes for tho best, wo do ijo,t moan
to delude ourselves, or mislead others, aud
it is not only our privilege, but our duty
as chroniclors of Iho times, to bring u mut
ter of such serious import jto tho attcutiou
of our readers. Tho peoplo will pauso
boforo giviug entire crcdouoo to tlio spea
ker at Trohjont Tcmplo. They will bo
slow to boliovo that tho President has boon
trifling with their confidence, imposing
upon their credulity and playing fast and
looso with questions which involvo not
merely the interests and happiness of thir
ty millions of tho present generation, but
i
tho vindicacion of tho capacity of man for
self-government, and tho preservation of
tho inheritance purchased by tho valor of
tho mon of tho Revolution, and rendered
secure, as wo hoped, by their wisdom.
And yet, all this and moro is true, or Mr.
Phillips' report of conversations is unjust
and unreliable.
What did Mr. Lincoln mean when ho
said, in speaking of his Message of the Oth
of March, "thoro is moro in it than peo
plo sec. Did you over hear tho story of
the Irishman who went down to the State
of Maine, in Maino Liquor Law times, and
asked for a glass of soda wator, adding,
couldn't you put a drop of the crathcr in
it, unknown to myself?' So I havo put a
drop of tho crathor in it, unknown to them
Why did not tho ''peoplo sco" it ? Was
it designed to bo obscure to moan more
than was expressed? Was it written blind
ly with a purpose? How docs tho story of
the Irishman and tho Maino Liquor Law
illustrato the President's position? What
does he moan when ho says "So I have
put a largo drop of tho crathcr in it unbe
known to" them? It is mild to say that
coarse stories aud flash phrases ill-become
tho Chief Magistrate of a great and intel
ligent people. This, however, they could
have passed over, as they havo done many
similar things before, less distinctly au
thenticated. But what does ho mean by
the 'crathcr," a largo drop of which was
put into the mcsssgo, "unknown" the peo
plo? Did iho "crather" upon the Presi
dents' lip3 moan abolition , as Mr. Phil
lips implies? If not, lot it bo disavowed.
Ho who, occupying a position of trust and
vast power, uses cant phrases to illustrate
his policy in public affairs, is bound to
define their meaning. If he meant to do
claro that ho was stealthily engaged in the
same mission which Mr. Phillips publicly
avows, then who can feel security in his
dircctucs or his honor?
Again, did ho say to a leading Republi
can of Now York "why don't you hold
conventions often, and lot mo feel tho
mind of the nation? You cannot create at
much anti-slavery feeling as wo shall need
befoic wo get through this war ?" What
use docs he propose to mako of more anti
slavery feeling before wo get through this
war ? If tho Uuion is to bo saved, we must
have frank, serious, mauly, patriotic di
rectness. At all events, in tho midst of
such fearful an accumulating perils, it is
no time for coarso stories and idle joking,
JSSf It has been reported that the Re
publican leaders in tho Senato fear to pass
tho Tax Bill and propose to let it go over
to the next session. Upon this the Albany
Argus says that "if Congrcs adjourns
without adopting a Tax bill it will prove
the utter imbecility of the Federal Gov
ernment which has not, so far, raised
regiment for tho defence of tho country or
a dollar by taxation for the support of
tho army ; but has, on tho other baud
bargained away the Customs' revenues for
a prohibitory tariff, robbed tho treasury
by corrupt contracts, aud concentrated
upon us tho ill will of foreign powers
This war lias been carried on by the
Stato Governments; and tho Federal Gov
ernment has been a hiuderancc and
sourco of confusion. If it oontinues to bo
derelict, public credit will be ruined by
its incapacity."
Blacic Umt,. One S. W. Morton, a
Government agent in Now York, has been
arrested and is in prison on tho chavgo of
extorting monoy from persons falsely ac
cused of disloyalty, vpon threats of sending
thorn to Fort Warren if thoy refused to
pay tho sum demanded ! Tho Albany
Argus says bo is not tho only person
against whom tjiis charge has been mado.
Whcu (.ho full ovidenco in these matters is
unfolded, wo will learn why innocent men
were fixed upon by tho government agents
and at what prico thoy espapo.
No Go. -An Allcntown corespondent
says tho proposition of old Aw; to tax
tho peoplo to buy niggora will n,oyer go
down with the peoplo of Lehi. Ho adds ;
"Tho idea of appropriating millions of
tho people's mouey, to buy niggers and
set them free I Ho might just as well
rcccomcnd tho purchase of muskrats, It
would bo no moro a violation of the
Constitution. If this wont give tho death
blow to tho old, spavined abolition party,
I don't know what wilj."
6?- Tho Conlhcation Bill was tabled
iu tho Houso of Representatives, on Wed
nesday last, by a voto of 58 to 0. All
tho Douiocrats and Uuion men voted for
laying it on tho tablo, and all tho Repub-
licuus against it.
Rivors of Blood.
Wc hopo and trmt, says tho Allcntown
Democrat, that the radicalism (of tho Pos'
itivchj stamp) which were so distressed bo
cauo MoClellan occupied Manassas with
out "wading through rivers of blood," havo
had their gory appetites sated by tho two
battles at Pittsburg Landing. Thcro was

suffice, in our opinion, for n wholo cam
paign, and wc trust that tho most exacting
of grumbling Abolition radicals will agrco
with us. Tho contemplation of such a
massacre makes tho heart turn sick and
tho blood run cold; but of course it was
unavoidable, and, like all other inevitable
afflictions, wo must submit to it with the
best grace wc can musior. Law and or
der must bo maintained, aud legitimate
government must bo supported, at all haz
ards, or else wo havo nothing left but an
archy and revolution. This horrible sac
rifice of human lifo is tho penalty wc must
pay for our national indiscretion. The
Union is being rc-bnptized in tho blood
of its martyrs. May that baptism sccuro
it what it seeks an immortality !
But, leaving Gen. McClellau to his ul
timate triumph over these Abolition vipers
let us return to tho consideration of that
lust for bloodshed which seems to charac
terise tho latter. We cntertaiu an intense
disgust for all such sanguinary cowards,
and so must every man who regards a civ
il war in its proper light. In nicotine a
foe upon foreign soil, or in struggling with.
the invaders of our native land, tho spirit '
of wholcsalo slaughter may possibly have
something to justify it, iu tho face of hu-1
manity, for tho wanton destruction of hu-
man life. In warring with erring broth
ers, at home we havo no such juttification
for an inconsiderate massacre cither of nics its very name and calls itself the op
our gallant volunteers or of tho ranks of positc of what it is, thon it bocomca just so
enemy. It is a species of barbarity to up-' Riueh more dangerous as a secret is than

Shooting of Mr. VS barton at
Washington.
Wc havo been furnished from an authen
tic sourco with tho particulars of tho kill
ing, on Monday, at tho Old Capitol prison,
Washington city, of Jesso H. Whorton,
ono of tho prisoners ooulined thero. It
appears that about 11 o'clock Mr. Whar
ton approached tho window of his room in
the second story, when tho suitincl stand
ing on tho pavement below ordered him to
tako his damned head in, or ho would
shoot it off. Wharton, a young mau of
high spirit, retorted by saying that nono
but a coward would thrcaton an unarmed
man aud a prisoner. An altercation en
sued. Whartou walkod to the rear of tho
room, but hearing tho sentinel talking on
the pavcinout, again advanced to tho win
dow, folded his arms and said : "Shoot,
you damned coward, if you dare." Tho
scntiuel took deliberate aim and fired,
the ball passing through tho lungs of tho
uufortunatc young man. -Mr. Wood, tho
Suporintondent,kindly sent for Mr. Whar
ton's wife, who is the daughtor of Colonel
Whiting, of tho Federal army ; and Dr.
John 0, Wharton, his father, who resides
at the Agricultural CelleKO, near Bladcns-
burg, was called to his bedside in time to
sec liim expire. Tho facts, as above stated,
wo understand, wero derived from his fol
low prisoners, ono of whom is a son of
Chancellor Walworth, of Now York. Mr.
Wharton was formerly a lieutenant in tho
U. S. army, but was arrested four mouths
ago at Ilagerstown. He was a nenhow of

This Mr. Wharton, liko other political
