General Bu,icr Il, Hon.

General fsu,icr at Home.
Gen b. F. Butler of Massachuse,,.
returned home for few days of res, ,n S~
which he will again return to ac,ivo A.
the Seat of war. He was eycrvw.. '%
ceived with great enthusiasm. AIS.
field he was introduced to the crowd h lug
Mayor, and in response made 4 can't. ivy
speech as follows - s%
"Fehow Cidseas II feel M, H.
nothing personal in this greetlos ,Sg
but il comes from hearts oyerao@;n" uaN
love for our country, and says tberee mug
be but one country and one Union. WA vu
passed through here to the seat Of w ""a
the spring, there were many tounS l% ~
sneered at Massachusetts, and calloa r@
the author of this war. Now tbrooata
the loyal states, the universal voice i I e's
bless old Massachusetts. The hon.
Massachusetts men lie in South Gu
where our citizens fell in protec,no
land from British invaders, and NV
chusetts men are loyal now as ever N
time for all talk of compromise Is n.s.
there can be no compromise till reLaIra.
citizens return to their allegiance. pros'.
ton implies duty, and the rebels INNS, !.
cali on us for protection till they nav a, |
duty. There has been much fault ionoS
the North With the inactivity Of the nay
and the slowness OF the army. The ss
the Government has been treating tLa
belious portion of the country as NAM,
would treat disobedient child. Frs, /
shuts him up, and then if he shows no 10,
Of returning obedience he puts him ias
sort of straight jacket. II all hi, / n,
awaiting, the son must be put down NJ
tied. Aud so, as the Government Ia, :
brought the Rebels TO their sepses by Jv
ting them up with the blockade. thew N,
be tied and they must not complain ifins
struggle they get torn garments and Nh
noses. They have no occasion to call Z
foreign powers to open the cotton pOr, \
them, for we intend TO do that our,eI,u
The navy has just begun 10 work, and q,
they will find that even New Orleans Nj
Galveston are not beyond the reach q 4
federal power. Napoleon once said Il
where his eagles were, there was Fras
and so would we say, wherever The S,s
and Stripes wave. there Is freedom fOr I |
and respect for the constitutional law.
! is curious coincidence, that on the s@l
Virginia, where the Dutch landed The iu |
slave, there on the very SPIT freedom 10 1 |
slave WAS announced as one of the rezs
of the war. Ii is coincidence which
cured to me since that time, bnt " |
! there that | first proclaimed slaves &2
trabapd Of war. The constitutional ii.
Of every man who is true TO the corry
will be respected, but those who are bea
with arms in their hands must expee
have their property eon6scated and sa|
: salves set free. We have been tryh. j
sloye the problem for long time, hosH|
should live With 100000 of slaves All
need be we can demonstrate our ablaJl|
live with 100000, Of freemen. 10 II
the Rebels have nothing to complain d
we have good authority for saying ID
: those who take the sword shall perish Va
: the sword. And now, let us nh supports
: Government in this struggle. Let al y
party names and differences be throwRaSs
when we have a country TO govern, si
viii be time enough to settle our diiiersD@
it we have any, and determine how il ID
be governed"
The Gen appears to have suffered ~
'
from the hardships of camp life, and vi
' it not for his bronzed face and miiiTI
e dress, he would appear the same as gs
: the famous Massachusetts lawyer. u
speech was repeatedly interrupted by baa|
T. cheers and cries, of good "and hsi'a
= doctrine &c.
