On the night of the ls instant the Democrats Of
New Orleans made demonstration in favor of
Gen. BUTLER, by getting up grand torchhght pro-
cession, which paraded the streets making conside-
rable display. One of the incidents OF the evening
is thus recorded by the Pcayune:
"Whle the procession moving another part Of the
city, number of persons in the neghbohood of the st
Charles Hotel perceived Gen. TArIoR in the ladies' saloon,
where he had been invited by Gen. GAINES to witness the
display, The they caught glimpse Of him they
gave three cheers for old Rough and Ready Gen TAYLOR
Immediately retired to part of the room in which ne could
be bat the crowd continued to increase and with
the cheers for the old hundee Of Buena Vista increased Also
In few minutes the streets in and about the hotel were
thrcnged with multitude Of persons all cheering Gen. Tay
o Several gentlemen Of the Of persons
present left the crowd and Gen Taylor and desired
him appear at the window Of the saoon nothing else
would satisfy and dsperse the accidental asembage The
General objected to doing SO, it would nleer-
with the appointed ceremonies Of the night But the
crowd continuing increase, and the cheering likewise he
length appeared at the window. When he by
the multitude below, the cheering deafening As
silence could be obtained Gen. TArLon addressed the peo
pie in the street to the following effect:
80 Felow-c citizens / accidentally in this city, and

That ZACHARY TAYLOR is an honest as well as

A friend has just related to us an incident of the

For the Green Mountain Freeman.
A Uall for Vermont (IirIS.
Boston, Sept. 9Th, 1913.

Mr.. EDIToR-I see by the papers that the Agent
of the Agawam Canal Company is in Vermont en-
deavorng to engage abou two hundred girls to work
in factory at West Springfield Mass"
According to the statements put forth, the Agents
and Directors are to be regious-the boarding hous-
es are to be keptby religious families and the utmost
care is to be exercised to promote the morals of the
operatives, and have religious influence pelvade the
entire establishment There is to be house of wor-
ship and congregational minister, and none are to
be employed who are profane or immoral, who violate
the sabbath intoxicating drinks. 1t is said fur.
ther that the Agent intends that all the girls empIoed
shall be from Vcrnlont.
The above high sounding pretensons constitute one
Of the many notable expedients which are resored to
by manufacturing companies to induce young ladies
to leave their homes and friends and 90 to another
state to work in factory, among strangers. at the
risk Of sacrificing health and comfort for few paltry
dollars, which they may, may not, be able to save
over and above the expenses incurred This project
is cunnngly designed to draw off the daughters Of
those parents whose scrupes and fears for the charac-
tiers and well being of their children have hitherto
kept them from conserving to run the risk of sending
them into distant factories. 1t is thought that the Gre
ligious aspect which every thing connected with this
factory is to assume will remove all scrupIes and fears
and induce pious parents to sacrifice their daughters
to the worship and worshippers of mammon. Nc
doubt the Agent will be successful; though sincere
ly wish that the Vermont girls" will be wise enough
to stay at home and not submit themselves to one o.
the worst forms of wuges slavery, to be rung out Of
bed-rung to their meals and rung to their work day
after day, to enrich corporation rich enough already
We might ask, why the Agent designs to employ
Vermont girls only? Does he suppose them more
grccn" than those of other states, because they live
among the Green Mountains? hope they will stay
at home among their friends and breathe the pure ali
of their native hills. Abb.

From the National Era.
.IOhn ?, Hale,

That we preferred John P Hale to any other
man whose name was before the Convention is
fact which we have no wish to conceal. We be-
lieved and still believe him to be the best repre-
sentative of the Free Movement He had re-
luctlantv consented to the use of his name by
the Liberty party last fall, with reservation
creditabe alike to his foresight and his magma
nimity-of the right on his part to withdraw it
in the event OF a more general movement of the
people of all parties. His whole conduct in this
matter has been high-minded and honorable,
evncing an unsefish devotion to principle and a
generous elevation above merely personal con-
siderations. His course in the United States
Senate, under circumstances calculated to EN-
barrass and utterly discourage any one incapa-
BILE of looking beyond the present time, and with
out faith in the ultimate triumph of truth and
Justice, has been such as to secure the cordial
appreciation of his friends, and to extort from
his political opponents the admission that he has
consistently and faithfully maintained his prin.
ciples After a long and severe ordeal, he comes
out from his first session in the Senate with the
reputation Of sagacous legislator and success
full debater, and with wide.extended personal
popularity Even the large vote which he OBJ
tanned in the Convention at Buffalo does not give
an adequate idea of the popular feeling in his fa-
vor. Considerations of policy and expediency,
in view of the peculiar circumstances in which
they were placed, undoubtedly led many who
would have preferred him to lend their support
to the successful candidate. The heart of that
mighty assembly of freemen was with him, and
the slightest allusion to him called out its thun-
ders of applause.
Althoug Oh not authorized to speak for him, we
think we can safely assure our friends through
out the country that, in the struggle now going
on, John P Hale will be found in the foremost
ranks of the host of Freedom, careless whether,
to use his own words, he acts as Captain, cor.
pora or private" anxious only to do his duty in
arrestng the onward march of the Slave Power.
