GEN. BUTLER's OPINION OF GEN. ScoTT.-
General William o. Butler, Of Kentucky,
at recent Democratic ratification meeting
at Carrolton, in that State, spoke as follows
of Gen. Scott:
General Scott is known to the nation, and
to the world; and as it is not my province
to paint Wing portraits, / would be content
to examine his position before the world
without saying any thing Of him personally
but for the known positions We relatively
occupied in the city of Mexico, and for the
purpose of saying publicly, that through
out ouI whole intercourse, though delicate
and embarrassing, he acquitted himself in
such manner as to win my esteem and ad
miration.
| In 1913, Gen. Butler was the candidate fol
the Vice Presidency. After hearing the effort
made by q few ofthe leaders In this city, on
last Saturday evening, to defame moi only
the civil, out military character of General
Scott, one is constrained to ask what Gen
Butler "knows about warr'

shire Democracy aud Catholic Emancipation.
This energetic and talented young lrishman
has been to Concord for some time, examin-
ing the official records of that State. He
has returned to New York, and short time
since made speech Of great power. He
has demonstrated from the records, beyond all
controversy, the following among other
propositions, viz:
/. That the Democratic party Of New
Hampshire has not at any time manifested
any general or earnest desire to expunge the
odious and unjustifable persecution ofCath-
olics from their State Constitution.
2. That the Wing party Of New Hamp-
shire has not--as has been falsely asserted
by Vice President Dallas among others
resisted and defeated the Constitutional a.
mendment required.
8. That Franklia Pierce has not takpT
any such decided and CONSPICUOUS part il
urging Catholic Emancipation as his friend
have represented. stf-i I
b. 4. That the Wings ofNew Hampshire
cast greater proportionate vote for that
Emancipation than the Democrats at each
of the elections when it was submitted to q
popular vote; and f'fr' o"
10. That the Democracy Of New Hampshire
might and should with the help freely ren.

in Richmond, Va, IN which he speaks Of
Gen. Scott IN t!.is wise: sies.
Ihaye no charges to make pgainst the
military conduct, the gallantry and heroism
Of the ilustrious General whom tine Whigs
have presented to the people Of the United
States as their candidate for the Presiden-

[Applause. will refrain, because, as an
American, have too much pride Of country
to cast the slightest shade Of dishonOr upon
those glorious deeds which form part Of A
merican history. .-.s.
For the character ofthe newsPap press
OF the United State1, We regret that there
are some newspaper editors capable of do
ing what even the Little Giant sco.ns to do.
They are guilty Of doing what he says ''truth
and honor forbid" They not only depre'
ciate his merits as a soldier, but, in order II
accomplish the object more efectually, they
shamelessly join the British press in pro-
claiming that some of the most glorious o
all the American victories in :hs last wal
were British victories.

Our ApoYrED GERMAN CITIZENS We
are glId to note that spirit of inquiry is
rife among the Germans Of our country and
that they are not willing to take the nans for
the substance. The GermIns of New York
city held another large and enthusiastic
meeting on Thursday last, and were address
sed dforcibly and at great length by Mr.. A
Eickhoff, editor of the Algemeine Zeitung
The resolutions were particularly good, Of
which we publish the following:
WHEREAS, The Wing party, by proposing
wise measures represent the interests oi
the people of our adopted country, and the
Democratic party is acting against the OBJ
ject which its name pretends TO indicate
whereas, the idea of a mere negative policy
which the so-called Democratic party repre-.
sent, must necessarily become an absolute
one, and has nearly become SO; whereas,
furthermore, the Democratic party, in spite
of its device, proves itself hostile towards
the measures of genuine progress; There
fore,
Resolved, That we recognize the cardinal
principles of the Wing party, the party Of
intelligence and republican virtue, as being
those principles which are most adapted tose-
cure the common welfare Of this country ,and
that We will strive to realize those princi-
Piles which appear to contain genuine prog.

( irTHK DEPTH or MEANhEss. ss.-About ,he
meanest electioneering trick we have vet
.eard Of 10 now Practiced % some extent in
this city and vicinity by some Gnphncipied
LocOfoc9s. IL Is that Of going about and
.whispcriBgin the ears Of persons known TO
possess strong antipsthy 20 Catholicism, that
Gen. Scottis Catholic. Not daring, for
wen known reasons. 20 urge this objection
publicly, they resort tothe manner we have
named with the hope Of drawing of few
votes from Scott. The trick Is too shaIIow
to do much harm, andwe only sIIuds to it
TO let them know that we are aware Of what
they are doing. g.-Pqaa Register.
The same game IS played IN this county,
but tis by no means the worst. A Rsver-
end gentleman, calling himself MATHEWS
from New York, has been through this and
perhaps other counties, lecturing against
Catholicism. and at the close of his lectures
states that Gen. Scott is a Catholic and
therefore ought not TO be supported. The
hats then passed around and collection
solicited to pay his expenses. We are
pleased to learn that the Trustees of one Of
the Churches in Salem very properly re-
fused toallow this Locofoeo in disguise 10
disgrace their church edi6ce, and we have no
doubt that all other protestant churches
would follow the example, did they know
beforehand what TO expect. II his closing
assertion is sa~ple Of the lot, lbs career is
calculated to injue that which he Processes
to uphold, We have been requested to call
attention to this, as bad men sometimes
creep into positions where they may DO much
injury. ,.. +-.-.....- ..-

didste for the Presidency, thus describes the
reception hall Of that''insuferable old aristo-
ers'-' We trust, ifany sweet-scented Loco
should see this, he may not taint at the vul-
gar picture. The writer says:-
The Generars reception hall ives plain
bedroom, furnished with a comnon table, q
single bed, washstsnd, rocking chair and two
other chairs, and large travelling trunk.
The great man was alone, and was seated at
the table with a book in his hand. while the
table itself vas covered with books, papers
and letters. Upon our entrance he imme-
diately arose and shook hands in tie mos,
cordial manner, and resiguing to me the olc
trocking-chair from which he had arisen
was about TO set himself on the trunk bu
this time Out-generaled the old chief, AM
took position upon the trunk myself.
al had frequently seen the General be
fore, at intervals during the last ten years
but my friend and myself both thought We
had never seen hiIn look 50 well as upor
this occasion. His complexion looks more
healthy, and viVscity,I may say, that WI
had never obseryedtefore. He was dresset
in plain clothes, and wore Grape upon hi,
left armin double mourning for the late dis
iinguished dead--his friends Henry Clsl
and General Roger Jones."r'
