GENERAL BUTLER'S RE-ELECTION.

A very strong effort is being made by Republican
opponents of General Butler to prevent his re-elec-
tion for the Fifth District of Massachusetts. Butler,
however, is not the man to be bowled out without
a strenuous and sustained effort. Reuter, whose
telegrams are one-sided, and that side wholly Pe;
mocratic, asserted that Butler had been defeateet
but this was subsequently contradicted. A toss
meeting is to be held at Salem, when an oppesltl°ll,
candidate will be selected. A call signed by nia°'
Republicans is circulating throughout the district,
thus explaining this intention True to the
principles of the Republican party, and heartily
supporting the candidates nominated at Chicag°
and Worcester, we cannot consistently support or
vote for General Butler, opposition to his election,
being fealty to the principles and the candidates of
the Republican party. We take his record as De
has made it, and are not to be influenced by pro-
fessions given on the eve of an election. We
not agree with him in his financial schemes, an,,
so far from regarding them as unimportant, sr:
deem them fatal to the national credit and the
national honour. His well-known opposition OGeneral Grant upon personal grounds renders hi°l
unfit to be a hearty supporter of his administra-
tion, and we prefer to send to the next Congress_
t
a warm, unquestioned friend of General Gra%
rather than a bitter and persistent enemy.
he
gentlemen named, one of whom is likely to "
selected, are Mr. Dana and General &loonier;
The two papers which have hit hardest againsd
Butler's nomination are the New York Nation al3
the Boston Advertiser, and Butler thus handle.:
them without gloves :—" So far as the Nation 1'
concerned, its enmity is natural enough, considers
°$
common infirmities of human nature. The truth
is that I was an original opponent of the existeny,,
of the Nation, which originated in the followille'
manner : An association of charitable gentlemen °
Boston had subscribed a large sum of money for the
relief of destitute negroes, and to aid in recruitil
negro regiments at the South. I was one of the
subscribers to that praiseworthy object, and
_ti.
association accomplished a great amount of g 07,0
After the cessation of the war the affairs of t't
association were wound up, and it was found thil,„
there was a surplus of the fund, which I hold fro
the nature of the charity ought to have bge
sacredly devoted to the relief and care of 1"
freedmen of the South. But a portion of the trail;
tees met together, and, without consulting with, !be
subscribers, resolved that they could better
freedmen by establishing a paper in New Yer%f
their interest than by expending the surplus 9;;;,
other way, and in accordance with this resole;
tion the amount of fifteen thousand dollars
more was appropriated for the purpose of Oleo
ing the journal called the Nation. I did net
the matter in this light, and made a strT,
opposition to any such disposition of the fund
which had been subscribed solely for the direct Ir
and benefit of the coloured people of the South• of
was this opposition that gained me the enmity
'
the persons who profited by the establishmeaVTn
the Nation with the funds of the association. r'`,t
to a short time ago the Advertiser was not 110.'.4"
vourable to me, and was, in fact, one of the h;
papers to publish to the world my views on fins'ea
cial questions, about which so much has since ht
ea
written in the Republican press. But subseque° ele
to this I was employed professionally to comlneFet
a libel suit against the publishers of the Advert
for an obscene slander which they had utte;ci
against a talented and estimable young lady, am
in pursuance of my duty I compelled them, up 10
a threat of prosecution, to make a full and 04,
apology. This was on my part simply a P%r.
sional act ; but ever since then the Boston Aull'of
riser establishment has been unable to discover 94
good qualities in me. Brick Pomeroy is fort
enemy, but, unlike the cases I have belle
alluded to, I know no good reason whi.
should be so. I suppose he abuses me as the Spilbai
field Republican does, because he supposes ,t 4,1
it sells his paper and puts money in his peer' re,
e insert Butler's remarks with the more pleas the
as it gives us the opportunity of showing hog No
Nation disposed of them :—‘, General Butler Pot
been visited in this city by a Herald reporter,
the purpose of getting his views' on various o'4
jects. The reporter extracted from him, atn°ll:,4
other things, an explanation of the extraordillo
course of the Nation and Boston Advertiser.et
posing his re-election to Congress. The se"".
cause of the hostility of the Nation to him is, it 1,2 f.
pears, his having opposed the contribution of 1
'of
tarn surplus funds of the Recruiting Committee ie
Boston towards the establishment of the paPer'el,
1865, which has, as might have been expect 0.
earned for him the undying hostility of its Othe
ductors. Considering that they were, until.
r;
lf
morning of the 21st of September, 1868, eritt
ignorant of the opposition aforesaid, we leave bas
to imagine with what malignity they would to
followed him up had they known of it. The re*Tto
of the Boston Advertiser's enmity to him is+, of
regret to say, much less creditable than that
the Nation.' It was, he says, one of the Po.
papers to publish to the world his views on fi,Peorl
cial questions ; but subsequently he was erneibe
professionally to commence a libel suit agaiesmaer,
publishers of the Advertiser, for an obscene slan
which they had uttered against a 'talented se
's
estimable young lady, and compelled them, noddle
threat of prosecution, to make a full and Or
apology.' the despicable sheet WOO
against the great statesman,. and, to use his °goy
words, ' has never since been able to discoVer:rg
good qualities in him.' So it is with all the gene"-to
enemies. We have no doubt, if he had tint3„t,
give us a full account of them, we should find t7ea
although they may be numbered by the haeclas
thousand, there is not one whose hostility i 8 fee
due to the general's having frustrated some Pleo9
of villany or performed some noble or virtsed
action." We believe that Butler will overcorne
his enemies, and be returned in spite of tb,e
though Mr. Edward Atkinson has thrown hinn.
into their ranks. The great advocate of coil:11110
ment of the national Debt naturally opposes
green-back champion, and advises the voter's
