The PRESIDENT, in removing from ofhce b. r.
BurY.ER. and some other citizens Of that division.
of the Democratic party to which ne belongs, lad
as well have thrust his hands into hornets nest.
Their friends are reused into vehement ind gnaton
One effect of this prescription has been to unseal
their lips as to certain things which have hitherto
been considered and kept as family secrets, but
which, now that the family is broken up are no
longer So The subioned extracts from an article
in The New York Evening POST upon the SUBJ
ject throws valuable light the doings Of the
Baltimore Convention Of 1914. If the +" POST had
in addition, let us know ,cho il was that msled''
Mr.. BUTLER as to Mr.. Folks character so as to
induce him to pluck up his " drowning honor by
the locks" we dare say that we should have the
key to all that is yet mysterious and inexplicable
in the Oregon question, the Texas annexation, and
the Mexican War.
FROM THE NEW YORK EVENING POST.
The Washington Uaion, see, preserves prudent ST.
ence in regard to the removal Of Mr. BuLER did in
gard to the infamous trick by which Mr. Polk obtained the
of Mr. BENTON and others for giving him discre-
onay powers in the annexation of Texas. The Union is
doubtless right When nothing be said it policy to be
silent No pretence he made that Mr. BUrLER not
admirably quaed or the ONCE nc hed by extent OF ega
learning, accuracy Of legal judgment, conscientious attention
public duty, and strong both Of justice and hui
mainly He displaced without the slightest pretence that
he has been any way wanting to the responsibilities Of
his post.
What makes this proceeding gross the part OF Mr.
Polk is the fact that Mr.. BUTLER HIM PRESIDENT.
We do record the fact Mr. BUTLERs honor, but is
fact nevertheless it was Mr. BuTLER oho ertricated Mr..
Polk from the obscurity into Which he 1uas sinking Ten
Resee and med by opinion Of his character,
brought hr before the nation candidate the highest
place eaaton had to bestoac But for Mr.. BuTLER's
ertons his favor the Baltimore Convention of 1874 he
could not have become candidate and if report say true,
be has not hesated to acknowledge his obligations in the
terms. He pressed upon Mr.. BqTLER the offer of
place in his Cabinetthe Department of War and when he
found him firm in refusing it, appointed him to the post o.
United States Attorney for The Southern District of New
York From this Office the grateful suddenly

THE DUTY OF ALL GOOD WINGS IN THE PRE-
SENT EMERGENCY.

While we have encouraging accounts from abroad,
our friends should not suffer themselves to neglect
their own political duties in their own State and
District. However confident we may feel Of carry
ing any State for the Wings, we must remember
that no State will carry itself. We must employ
the usual means we must perfect and extend our
organization we must circulate political inlorma-
ton; and we must see that the full Wing vote is
brought to the polls. There is ample time to do
all this, get there IS no time to spare none to be
wasted in inactivity. EVERY MAN HAS A DUTY TO
PERFORM; every Wing should act as self-const-
tuted committee, and should make il his chief bust
ness for the coming two months to help elect TAY-
LoR and FILLMORE. He can do no other business
half so profitable. No man who is interested in
the prosperity Of his country can do any thing half
so profitable, from this day till the 18th of Novem-
Der, as to devote himself to politics.
When the nomination of General TAYLOR was
first announced the Wing party seemed to think
that the election was already won, and that they
had nothing to do except to vote-such Of them as
might find it convenient-n November and some
seemed to think that it was hardly necessary to do
this, but that Wing would count against as many
Locofocos as one American did against Mexicans at
Buena Vista. They thought that the Harrison
campaign was to be fought over again, but they for
got that the Harrison campaign did not fight itself.
They forgot the extensive means which were en-
ployed to carry that election how the whole body
of the Wing party gave themselves up to politics,
and did no other business. The same energy, the
same exertions now will accomplish the same re-
suits and listlessness and inactivity now will ac-
complish what HstleSsnesS and inactivity would
haze accomplished then. The Wings are just be-
ginning to find out their mistake they are just be-
ginning to see that, if they mean to elect General
TAYLOR, they must work for it: and, having come
10 that wise conclusion we have no doubt that they
will follow il up with the necessary exertions. Let
US avail ourselves Of the good feeling which is now
starting, Of the enthusiasm which is kindling all
over the land, and glorious triumph for the coun-
try will reward our efforts !-Proridence Journal.
