Wendall Phillips that is. Not our Wendell.
March 24, 1862:
Abolitionist orator Wendall Phillips is booed while attempting to give a lecture in Cincinnati, Ohio. The angry crowd was opposed to fighting for the freedom of slaves, as Phillips advocated. He was pelted with rocks and eggs before friends whisked him away while a small riot broke out.

"friends whisked him away"
Friends would whisk our Wendell away too, if it ever became necessary.
