Mrs. Lippincott, better known as "Grace Greenwood," lectured at the Academy of Music, in Philadelphia, lately, on" The Lights of the War Cloud." ln commencing her lecture, she said: "Her lecture bad been objected to because it touched upon political matters, as if anything could be written now-a-days, from a '"love-letter up to an order for goods, that was not political. The politics of to-day was the history of to-morrow. To prevent any misprebension, however, she would in the outset define her position. She was a rabid Unionist and a rabider Abolitionist (applause), a woman's rights woman. & a dark complexioned Republican. She believed in the Bible and the Declaration of Independence; in "the Constitution of the United States, and the Proclamation of Emancipation. She believed in Thomas Jefferson and Wendell Phillips; George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; in Patrick Henry and Henry Ward Beecher (applause); Alexander Hamilton and Charles Sumner; in old John Brown and Benjamin F. Butler. Now that she had made a clean breast of it, she desired, before she unlimbered her light artillery, that those who differed from her mightt leave, and not disturb her in the middle other discourse."
