Radical Path.
Wendell Phillips, of Boston, addressed an audience of .Republicans at Cooper Institute, on Thursday evening on ^the issues of the pending canvass. One of the mottoes on the tickets of admission was as follows:
PMRPj 5 DESI'OSI- Till PRrSIDhNT
make the the following extract
ir in Mr Phillip speech I believe, then, that the President, of the United States for the last twelve months has been a conscious agent of the purpose of the leading rebels of the South to continue this war in the new phase in the phase in which they'originally meant to wage it, as the Govern.incut itself, sitting at Washington recognised by foreign nations the treasury, the army theirs, and the North, if necessary, iu the attitude of rebellion. Well, what have we to guard against that plot which no man need doubt after the last six mouths? What have we to guard againt it? Is the Cabinet any thing? What are its materials? An Attorneygeneral selected because he would be a tool, and because the dirty business of fllS proiessiuu mauc Him a ill tout to SUCIl a President a Secretary of the Treasury so much one with his master that if the villainy be consummated he will more likely be the tempter than the tempted a Secretary of the Navy whose thorough incompetency for the work is such that his very holding of the office is a farce, and his utter corruption so notorious that any honest act iu his administration must have been an oversight aud mistake. [Laughter.] A man who never had opinions, and was always ready to surrender his professions to the nod of his masters. A Secretary of War whose career is utterly inexplicable. His next act may give us that key which will make it ntelligible on the theory of honor, but at present it ends in a cloud. [Cheers.] A Secretary of State whoso best friends deny his wickekucss, on the sole ground that age has impaired the intellect of his crime. [Applause.] Is there any force in that Cabinet to withstand that plot?
Wendell then pitchcs into the amendments of the Constitution proposed by Congress, saying:
They call it a compromise. Compromise is a respectable word. It covers a respectable fact. Compromise is when two men differ ou a point and agree to settle it by a mutual arrangement. Coinpromise is when two uicn disagree on the amount due each ou a contract or in profits iu business, and they set down and arrange their mutual claims honorably, just and equal. There never has been a compromise iu America political history. We have lifted a swindle into a compromise, and dignified it with the name. The white race of the North and the white race of the South in 1S0G came together, and they sacrificed to their joint advantage the rights of the absent black 2—a swindle, and they call it a compromise. Prussia and Kussia met together on dismembered Poland, and separated it into fragments and annexed it to the respective kingdoms, and they call it a compromise—a swindle. Thejiouse of Representatives and the Senate, seated under the dome in safety, because four millions of blacks held their place iu the scale when the palace trembled between the North and the South, and they sat down with a rebel President aud swindled their allies out of their rights and gave it to the country as a compromise. [Applause.] And the New York Tribune bowed to it, as it has to every barefaced swiudled for twenty years. [Laughter.]
-i.
Mr. Greeley says if 1 would only be softspoken and conciliate if I would only use gentle terms, aud lead men without their knowing where. Why, he paints himself driving Jefferson Davis into impartial suffrage, when the great rebel thinks he is running into the establishment of the Confederacy. Like the Irishman and the pig that thought he was going to Cork when he turned his face to
Dublin, a suggestive picture. but which the pig and which the driver? [Loud laughter.]
No more compromises of the Constitution. No more surrender of the omnipotence of real power until Louisiana

likeness of New England, and run like kindred drop9 undistiDguishable into ohe. [Applause.] The very first task I would set the reassembled Congress, before they look at the amendments, or utter the word 'reconstruction, is, '-impeach the rebel of the White House.'' [Appl ausc.] Let the traitors of -Louisiana and South Carolina take care of themselves. We are going ^o tend to this machine of the Government that Je]otigs to us—[applause]—and the first process of commencing is to impeach the rebel that has usurped the functions of the President. [Applause Rebel is too dignified a designation—tlie great niobocrat of the White House. [Applause.] Yes. Does he wrfnt a mob at New Orleans—he ignores Governor Wells. Does he want a mob at Baltimore—he recognizes Governor Swann. Law or no law State or no State elected authority or omnipotence —no matter which, the mollis the result.
The first step is to impeach the mobncrat of the White House, and the second step is to depose him. 3}he impeachment is of no value if it drags its slow length along through the Senate Chamber, and the impeached party wields the array and navy, and the patronage of the Government, against the impeaching House, aud the judicial Senate. The moment that the Executive of the United States is impeached, statesmanship and the Constitution, and the necessities of the hour dictate that his place should be supplied —(applause)—until acquittal restores him to office, or condemnation subjects us to the choosing of a new President and Vice-president to supply the dead nnrl tko nutl Tint, oltwlulr fVr»»» this step of interfering with the functions of the Executive, but the Constitution undertakes to give us power of impeachment in such a "way that'in any ordinary time the President of the United States should be_ ever practically liabie to impeachment. Such an emergency has not a precedent. It is only a concurrence of circumstances that renders it. possible, and that same emergenoy dictates that we snould be the arsenal of constitutional weapons to make It efficient. I would, therefore, unseat the Presideut. Like the English nation in '88, I would make the law of the realm inside the Constitution.
It would be a farce aud a sham to try the President while he remains iu office. In the nature of his trial, in the concurrence of the constitutional remedy, there js nothing to repudiate the step, and there is every thing iu the Constitution to dictate it. I say, therefore, impeach the President, aud while he is pn trial sequester him I What is the advantage? It is that we run the machine.' (Applause.) Theni the undivided North, the lor
Gentleineu, the great defect iu our Government is, that- when we have accepted a pivotal man we have got to keep him for four years. Andrew Johnson, when once planted upon the Government lasted four years. It is a great defect] perhaps an inevitable one iu the machinery of Republican institutious. In England, when the people .are weary of Lord John, iu an hour they have Earl Derby. In twelve hours, weary of him, they may have John Bright at the head of the Government. The Queen governs only in the sense that she reigns. ..She does not really. In the ^rue sense she docs not govern, she only reigns. With us, in ordinary times, we must wait four years before the Government can right itself. In ordinary times we should be obliged to bear Andrew Johnson until the -Itli* of March, 18G9, but his treachery, his collusion with rebels, his resistance to the laws of Congress, the blood of New Orleaus upou his conscience, his sins against the whole sense aud spirit of the hour enables us to depose him. [Applause.]
I, for one, have waited two long years to commence this inevitable antecedent of reconstructing Southern territory. 1 am not for waiting two years longer for the rebels at the White House to build up the Southern aristocracy, and give it strength, organization prosperity, capital. 1 am not for waiting two years for the representatives of the South, in Senate and House, to manipulate this Government into submission. The right and power is ours, and I would commeuce to-day by sequestering rebledom from this Government, and control all the niachiucry of national affairs. That is to be done by notonly impeaching Mr. Johnson, but by sequestering him from office while the trial goes forward. There is but one problem before us. ohusou Republicans, Senators and Representatives, are but puppets. The nation has but one business: it is to make the idea that conquered in this war dominant down to the Gulf. [Applause.]
It is to make free speech, free press, and freedom of commerce, energy and enterprise the law of the republic, aud when that commence peaco commences. When that process commences, reconstruction commences. All that I gay to you of parties, and all that I say to you of impeachment, has no individual pur

(Applause.) But men say, •'You destroy party," you einbarras the present situation of affairs. These arc great arguments, I confess, and therefore there is the Tribune says: "Why, you should not attempt it."
Graut is responsible also. The most humiliating position occupied by any man on this continent is occupied by Ulysses Grant. [Hisses and applause, the latter predominating.]
Well, you may hiss me. Have we conqured New Orleans, or have we not? Does it belong to us or to Jefferson Davis? (A voice, "To Davis.") So it does. If it really belongs to us, it is whose business to sec that the streets of New Orleans arc safe for every man that has a right to walk under the flag? [A voice, "Grant's."] The armed hand of the nation wreathed in tobacco smoke and bathed in the soft bree7.es of the lake, while the national banner clings, in every Southern city, to the flag-staff, heavy with Union blood. Imagine Ireland in rebellion, and imagine the rebellion sobdued. Imagine the news coming to London to the Iron Duke in the War Office, that an Englishman cheering for Victoria had been murdered in the streets of Cork.— Do you suppose that Wellington would have gone on a pleasure jaunt with the Queen to the Isle of Wight, or othei isles? lie would have been in the streets of Cork in two hours, and if there had been soldiers enough in the British empire, lie would have made it safe for au Englishman to walk the streets. [Applause.]
General Graut can anticipate trouble at Baltimore. He knows beforehand that there will be bloodshed in the streets of Maryland. He can hold long Cabinet counsels with this mau and that to see that there is no riot, that can fiivor Katlio,.Ko,„ in Baltimore. Why don't he know of a riot in New Orleans? If he did know, why didn't he hurry to the spot? I claim it of the war arm of the Government that if we have conquered the South, it should be safe for Northern men any where where the flag floats. [Applause.] It is said to me that the flag floats in safety over Bunker Hill as it lias for sixty years if General (irant is General, and at the head of tho armed forces of the United States, he is there to make the flag my protection, as much at Memphis as in the streets of Boston. [Applause.] If he has not. troops enough to do it, why don't he go to Congress aud say so? If he has troops enough, why don't he do it? Does any man hinder him? ^(Applause.) If there is any hinderanee iu the nation, what is his duty? Tell us of it? If the head of the national affairs is not permitted to make the streets of the nation safe for its citizens, who hinders? The answer he owes to the nation.
Imagine the unanimity of the Northern rebuke imagine the utter anihilution of Andrew Johnson if Ulysses Grant had said at the time of the massacre at New Orleans, "I wanted to prevent it, but was not permitted." I do not ask officials like Grant to submit to. indignity in nfiion. wliou they are not permitted to discharge its duties. I don't iho... to misrepresent the responsibilities of tho office if they don't try and perform its duties. A year hence you will agree with me the most humiliating position occupied to-day is held by Lieutenant General Grant. [Hisses and applause, the latter prevailing.] I have compared him to England let me take the risk of partiality and come nearer home. Put our Ben Butler in, Lieutenant General. [Laughter, cries of "spoons," and applaus.] Give him command of the forces. Do you suppose New Orleans wo'd have been possible? [Voices—"No, no, never!"] But if by some uuforseen circumstance it had taken place, do you suppose that Munroe would have lived to-day to boast that lie had defied the Government of the United States and bathed the streets of New Orleans in loyal blood? ['"No. no."]
na
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, were closer than any other places or any other States on the face of the globe. The elements of nationality were ours, and with arms enough in our hands we were certain to crush out rebellion, and we are certaiu to do it now. But all wc want is honest, intelligent, plain-spoken men to lead. I do not fear the President. Koar him! I never read one of his speeches. I never heard of one of his acts, that it did not remind me of the scene I saw painted ouce of the way the poor peasants in the uttermost provinces of Russia hunt the bears. Too poor to buy muskets, his hide impervious to any arrows they can make, they practice on his credulity.— Ho loves honey, and they go to an empty tree and fasten a peg above tho hole where the bees have built, and to the peg hang a cannon ball or stone. When the bear cotncs to push his head iu for the honey, aud moves the stone it comes back on him. Angry at the blow, he gives it another toss it comes back stronger he rises in rage and pushes the moving pendulum with a still strougcr blow and it comes back with the added momentum and so ho swings arouud the whole circle. [Loud laughter.]
Well, now, Vermont was a good blow, Maine was a better, and Ohio was appalling, and Indiana and Iowa were terrific. [Applause.] Aud when Massechusctts, and Connecticut, and New York, and Illinois, and all the States swing the circlc, why I shall have no fear of that individual obstacle. It is not there that my anxiety rests. It is in the Republican party and Congress. It is that for the sake of expediency, fearful of each other, fearful of certain results, that it will postpone the battle as if when Lee and Grant met in final encounter they had come together and counted troops, and theu postpoued the fight a twelvemonth. No postponement until the fourth day of March, 1869 the fight begins on the fifth day of December, I860'. And from that hour the machinery is exclusively ours. [Applause.] Do our duty, and in 'G9 wc shall be iu a far different state from this. Wc have had traitors before we had one in the White House who called himself an "old public functionary." The last year he has been writing a book to show the world why his treason did not succeed. We have got his twin in the White House to-day, lie calls himself an "humble individual." Let us do our duty iu December, and long before the fourth of March '59, he will be making speeches to explain why he did not succeed.
Thoroughbred Cattle.
As a sleek, short horn bull cixnie into the ring to-day, a model In mould, an intelligent gentleman standing beside me said, "Ah, that's a mighty fine bull, and but few who have not tried it know what it costs to keep up a'herd of such animals. A few men can make money at it but more can do tur better breeding a short horn bull to our common stock,and feeding them for market."
This gentleman spoke understanding^, because he spoke from experience. And it is a significant fact that the number of breeders of thoroughbred cattle in this SkitS is diminishing rather than increasing. I mean to say that the class of breeders who are governed iu their selections of sire and dam by herd book pedigrees, is growing smaller. Fewer men are ambitious to get placed on the record as exhibiting fine herds at State Fairs. The fitting up costs too muoh. Few have the requisite capital to establish and keep up a reputation like that of Alexander of Kentucky, and others I might name.
Now, what should be the object of the farmer iu his effort to improve his herd? To emulate Alexander It is not au unworthy ambition but the question of worthiness must be absorbed by that of practicability. A good many men have tried the experiment, aud failed disastrously. One thing is important—the standard of excellence to he obtained should be a high one, but it should also be a compensating one. It is folly for a man to spend his fortune and his life in the development, by breediug and feeding, of au ideal animal. It is far better to take nature as we find her, and use such means as she gives us to improve our condition, looking for an ultimate material benefit. 1 am not to be understood as wanting faith iu the advantages of purity of blood, or doubting the policy of care iu breeding. But" I- do doubt the expediency and profit of every farmer attempting to breed fine herds without tuition aud this tuition is better gained by an inexpensive and unostentatious beginning. Some excellent herdsmen have begun by purchasing a single male animal of pure blood and experimenting on native and grade animals, bringing up their herds gradually but surely, to a higher standard of excellence, and all
Men say General Grant sides with the President for fear he will put a worse man in. Do you suppose that if General Grant had resigned because he could not be permitted to do his duty, the army of the United States could have been lead by any body against him? Could the President have braved Grant aud Sherman, and the army and Congress? Wc have a set of men, one-half traitors and the other half willing to wait until the 4th of March before they resist them.— You let Governnieut hitch and stagger forward iu just that condition of things. What I demand of Senators, when they sec a traitor in tho White House, is to try and get liiui out what I demand of the army aud the Lieutenant General is that they make the streets of the couqucred South safe, or give up their office. [Applause.] I want our Union reconstructed. 1 don't care what becomes of Jefferson Davis. He is older than the Ark. [Laughter.] The question of his punishment is one that landed on Arrarat. [LaughterJ The question to-day is whether the President of the United States is to be allowed for two years to hold this Government over the edge of the time addiug money to the purse, in-
Niagara, and whether Senators and a tead of losing it in buying elephants Lieutenant General arc to stand there unmanageable. The experience gained prating of dignity and silencc, and the jt) breeding grades has ultimately resulted journals arc to preach of conciliation?—
Coleridge said government was made up of three elements. One was—and

[Laughter.] co'operate, power to act together aud Wc remove him in order to begin the great national duty. This is our only principle. It seems to me a's if talking of men ou this question, is forgetting the very essence of our duty. We are constantly forgetting that our only indispensible work has not even yet begun. We huve not learned the machinery by which to effect it. Let us remove the first obstacle. General Grant represents the

While in this subject, I wish to quote, in this connection, from a recent article by an experienced breeder: "Pedigrees havo been so much mixed up by editors of herd books and breeders, that it is impossible to tell the pure from the impure. It is pretty muck as

'pure bull' to reccomniend them—he boing doubtful as to his origin, as a pure sire. lean refer to you several pedigrees in in the American Short Horn Herd Book, which I know to be crosses of Devon and Short Horn. It is impossible for honest men to contend for pure bred stock when grades come up and beat them by the palaver of oratorical men. Thus, between the forcing and stunting systems, the fiattoring portraits, the false pedigrees, the tricks in the trade, and 'sales without reserve,' it is almost impossible for'an honest breeder to keep a straight course. I am bound to speak the truth, for I know every word I write is true, and can not be successfully contradicted, for I have been a 'chiel among them takin' notes.1 Therefore, the sooner the breeders go to crossing the more money they will make by breeding, and breeding for the butcher is much more profitable than breeding' bulls for the public, unless the breeder has a great" name. But many of those of fame, in. England have not 'cut un so fat' as their cattle, wlieri the depth of the grave contained them. After struggling for noteriety their whole lives, the coffin is the end of all, and 'the tricks in the trade' may rise against some of them in the resurrection, and they have to hang upon a: (very short) horn of the dilemma."
The Impeachment of the President. The following very sensible article is from the Albany Journal, the central Radical organ of New York. We trust that its warnings and its cautious will be heeded in the quarter to which they arc addressed. If they are not, tho darkest and worst chapter in the history of tho country iB about to open. The Journal says: "If an impeachment^was ordered, it would not merely be tho trial of Andrew Johnson but also the arraignment of a party which represents a very great majority and exceedingly active minority (large majority, counting the South in) of the American people. That party accepts the President as its leader aud exponent. It sustains his policy with energy and determination. It defends, upon what it calls Constitutional grounds, the very acts which are relied upon to justify the process of arraignment. It says that any attempt to withdraw this power from the Executive would, in itself, be usurpation. We can not doubt that if articles of impeachment were to be prepared, the Democracy would consider itself as having bee'n placed at the bar—would repudiate the judgment as the fulmination of one party against the other, and would stand ready to uphold the President in a refusal to suhmit even though that refusal sho'd result in civil war, as would be most likely in the o*oited state of the public mind certain prevail.

of affairs.
A chief magistrate condemned a court whose junsdict.on is denied at the outset by several millions of Ameneata'-0itizej,8 He refuses to obey procoss. The Senate declares him out of office but he persists in the exercise of prerogative. Congress, then, representing the Government, undertakes to oust him but he summons to his aid what military he can command, and-prepares to test the question of force,. Meanwhile, the violence and turbulanee engendered at the national capital extend through every section of a country not yet fully recovered from the delerium of war. Parties are developed in each town, oity and hamlet, holding excitedly to the most pronounced opinions on one side or the other, aud ready to fight for those opinions. A spark might at any moment drop into such a magazine, and then—what then? Wc of the north yet hardly know what civil war means, as tlicy have learned it who havo seen street divided against street, family against family, law obliterated, order destroyed, civil security overthrown, and neighbor arrayed in mortal enmity against neighbor." mm i'
Affecting Scenc at an Execution. The New World relates the following incident in'connection with the execution in that city of Frank Ferris for the murder of his wife.
By some oversight on the part of the officer who had the children of tho condemned man in charge, the duty of taking them away from the Tombs before the execution, was neglected. Tho result of the oversight was one that many of those who heard what occurred as the execution was going on will, perhaps, never forget. Just as the last words of the culprit had been pronounced, the cry of a child, long and piercing at first, and then in tones of terror, screaming out. "Farther, oh, my father!" resounded through the halls 'of the new prison. Many a stroug man turned pale .it the sound, and many a lip quivered that, perhaps, never moved from emotion in such scenes its that before. The ory was that of the little boy, "Billy," who, if he could not see dangling in tho air -the form of him whom he used to call father,' at least was made aware, by some 'means'or another, of the terrible scene outside of the walls. Whether the1 last earthly voice heard by the dying father was that soul-rending cry of his child no 4ne can ever tell. Lot us hope his 'ear was deafened to all wordly sounds before that' cry went up witlrsuch horror blended in its echoes as to make strong men quake and tremble with dismay. -MV-T orfuT,
