POLITICAL.

Benjamin f. Butler accepts, IN a long letter, the
Democratic nomination for Governor of Massachu-
sets. He declares himself in favor Of Protective
Tariff. He thinks that Slavery does not exist any
where by natural right, but only by positive enact
ment but that the bred Scott decision protects it in
the Territories He opposes the admission of negroes
into the militis which he calls insult to the volun
ieer militia. The Revolutionary army did not think
20. He denounces the State Administration, and
charges il with centraizng policy, aggrandizing the
power Of the Stste at the expense Of the towns
LLIEo1s.-A Springfield correspondent writes us
that the nomination of the Hon. john A. McCLER-
EAxp by the Democrats of that District, to fill the
seat in the next Congress vacated by the death of the
lamented Thomas l.. Harris, is very dstastefu to
many of the party, while the Republican nomination
of JONI NJ PALMER as his opponent is very popular,
and will poll more than party vote. McClernand is
now presented as q DOuglasite, though he stumped
against Douglas go late 1854. There are hopes OF
Judge Pamer's election.
GEORGIA The Sardnazi NeEs Of the Sth has full
returns from sixty-seven counties, III which Gov.
Brown has a majority of 1888 votes, being gain
over his vote in 1867 of 4372 votes. His gain in
Cherokee bis own county, is 253 votes, and in Bald
win County, where he has reslded for the last two
years, l42 votes. In the Hid Congressional Dis
trct, Mr.. Hardemsn opp is elected by 40. Mr..
Tippe Opp was elected in 1857 by $50 votes. In
the With District the is close. The returns thus
far indicate the election Of Harper DEM bya small
majority Full returns for the With District are no.
yet in but enough has been received TO indicate the
election Of the Democratic candidate for Congress, j.
J. Jones, by majority OF some 300 or 400.
The Vernon. Legislature, which assemblies on
Thursdsy, Oct. Is, is composed Of 2o3 Republicans,
30 Democrats and Independent, in the House, while
the Senate is unanimously Republican. The House
will probably open with sharp contest for the
Speakership, Mr.. Edmunds Of Burlington the last
Speaker being opposed by TIE southern counties, on
the ground thst their section has not been thus
honored since 1915 and only once since 1885. Wind
ham County presents Mr.. Kellogg of Brstleboro and
Der nipgton County Mr.. Kellogg of Remington. Tae
Brstteboro Kellogg is thought to be the fsSorite in
case the old Speaker is not reelected.
