FROM EVENING POST
The Washington Union, we see, preserves a
prudent silence in regard to the removal of Mr.
Butler, as tdid in regard TO the infamous trick by
which MIR. Polk obtained the votes of Mr. Benton
and Others for giving him discretionary powers in
the annexation of Texas The Union is doubtless
right. When nothing can be said. it is policy to
be silent No pretence can be made that Mr. But
Ter was not admirably qualified for the office he held
by extent of legal learning. accuracy of legal jude-
ment, conscientious attention TO public duty and a
strong sense both OF Justice and humanity He is
displaced without the slightest preience that he has
6een In any way wanting to the responsibilities of
his post.
What makes this proceeding more gross on the
part Of Mr. Polk is The fact that Mr. Butler made
him President. We do not record the fact to Mr..
Buffers honor. but it is n fact nevertheless it was
Mr.. Butler cho crtrjcated Mr.. POLK from the OBJ

and, mis'ed BY an errogspus opinion of his charac-
