GEN. BUTLER AND THE VoLUNTEERs.-Our
readers are aware that several of the volun-
teers applied for their discharge in N. Orleans
and for doing this were placed under arrest
They then appealed to the law, but were met
in court by Gen. Butler, the locofoco candi-
date for the Vice Presidency whoargued the case
against them and defeated them. Since their re-
turn home, however, they are making themsel-
YES heard. We find the following from them in
the Louisville Journal of Friday last;
A just and grievous cause of complaint on
our part against Gen. Butler is, that, when we
brought suit in New Orleans for our discharge
at that point, on the ground that the term of
our service expired at the close of the war, he
made his appearance before the court and de-
livered set speech against our application and
defeated it. In doing this he transcribed his
duty. When called on by the courtto say why
he detained US in service, he was required to
say no more than that he was obeying the Or
ders of the Wac department-he was under no
obligation to play the lawyer for the purpose
Of thwartinng and defeating us in manner
which so deeply concerned our comfort and
our welfare, and in which he knew that the
strongest feelings of all of US were enlisted
Even if he thought it was our true interest TO
be packed home by the Government like sheep
OF hogs, amid filth and vermin, he might
have contented himself with expressing his
views to US upon that subject, and then leav-
ing us to apply to the courts for discharge as
we saw fit. Surely he was not bound, unless
he thought US children or fools, to exhort tht
court to deny our application.
Another and if possible a still stronger
cause of complaint against Gen. Butler is, tina
in his speech against our application, he insul
ted and slandered us most grossly. He remark
ed that it Mould be an imposition upon the CT
ty of Neao Orleans to discharge in that com
mlunity slsch a body of soldiers as aras then i,
that city. We know that he said this, for W.
heard him say it. We are at a loss to conceiv'
what cause we ever gave him for such deeI
stigma upon our characters. We are no
thieves, or assassins. or rioters, or drunkards
E or house burners, or insulters of women Th
peace and quiet of New Orleans would hav
been perfectly secure if we had been discharge
there. We were citizens before we were sol
diers, and no community need be alarmed q
the prospect of our becoming citizens again.
Gen. Butler has reason to know that we hav
maintained the high character of American
, even in the cities of foreign enemy, and h
, need not have feared that we should take tn
first opportunity of FORGETTING it on our return
to our own country. His remark to the cour
was calumnious, and we resent it as morta
5 insult. THE VOLUNTEERS.

JUsr VIEws-Hon. Thomas EWING, OF
Ohio, recently addressed a letter TO the
Wings of that State, urging the support of
General Taylor for The Presidency We
lake from hal letter the following extract TO
which we ask the attention of our readers:
|, has been objected that he is military
cheflain, and il is true that few men in any
age or nation have achieved more brilliant
and enduring fame than his. With some five
thousand men, chiefly Volunteers aud new
recruits, he routed the regular Mexica ar
my of20, 900 men, commanded by their most
distinguished general and tactician. This
victory, won against such fearful odds, aud by
new, undisciplIned troops, is honor enough
1t proves too, how great, how abiding and
implicit, was The confidence of the troops in
their gallant commander.
Nevertheless, | would as an example pre-
fer the selection Ct acandidate from civil lille.
But experience proves that the profession or
employment o: candidate has little connex-
ion with his fitness. Washington was SOL
der, Polk lawyer. The names in juxiapo-
slion suggest the whole argument. One
loved peace, the other war-the one adhered
to the constitution, the other violated one OF
its most important and wisest PROVISIONS
one said. ''why should we quit our own TO
stand on foreign ground" the other sought
new territory by conquest.
This proves, what all of US know, that
professions are nothing, while sound princi-
plies and honest purposes are everything. |
| care not from what walks of life man
] comes, if he brings with him an honest heart
and capable head. There is security
in that, but none in the intrigues of hack
MED politicians.

JOHN A. DIx.-We have seen a letter SAYS

templates the planting of slavery upon free

GEN. CAss IN ALBANIA correspondent
of the Southern Record thus speaks of the OPP
position to Gen. Cass in that State. Several
of the gentlemen mentioned are well known as
the most influential members of the Locofoco
party in the State of Alabama. This proves
that DIR. Yancy is not alone:
'sin and Immediately around Montgomery
nearly all the leading Democrats are opposed
TO them. Certainly those who have heretofore
been most prominent are opposed TO General
Cass; and among the number are Messrs. Bel
ser, Yancey, John Gilmore, n. Harris, Scott,
Semple, May, and others. Mr.. Belser came
aat on the 2lst inst, in the Montgomery Adj
Tsertiser, witha long article against Cass. They
nave been arranging to start paper there in
opposition TO Gen. Cass. 1t is to be conducted
by their ablest writers. | learn an effort will
be made by them to run third candidate. II
1t should not be done, some of that party will
vote for Gen. Taylor, and Fillmore too."
