Unfair.

--The New York Herald complains that while Vallandigham has been tried and sentenced for making a speech against the Administration, Wendell Phillips, who had made a worse speech against the Government, insulting to Lincoln and his Cabinet, was still at large, and none dispatched to arrest him. This is indeed unfair, but the humorous tyrant will attend to them all in good time. He nicks them in order. If he carries the day with Vallandigham he may try Seymour and Hunt next, and so on down to Phillips, unless he chooses to spare him for his amusement.
