THE Lust oT BUTLER.
Batter, the beast, has at last finished his
career in New Orleans, and Is succeeded
by Banks, who Black Republican as be is
can scarcely be more OF a brute than the
bideous wretch whom the q. s, Govern.
ment has employed to torture gallant
people and to make for itself an immortal
iniamy. That Butler should part unpuE.
ilhed from the scene Of such crimes as be
has perpetrOted is the GROWING humilia-
liou of the shame and sorrow which, from
first to last, have characterized bis demo-
MAC mission. But New Orleans once sur
rendered to his hands, all that has follow
cd has been matter OF course, An un.
armed people, at the mercy of u tyrant,
whose white and black myrmidons held
the life Of every citizen and the puri.
ty Of every hearlhsIone sin the hollow Of
their hand, whist a powerful feet COM
manded the whole city, with their tremeu'
dous batteries, New Orleans had no alter
native but to submit 1t would have been
better if the city bad suffered itself in the
beginning 10 be bombarded and every
house destroyed; but having chosen It's lot,
unpleasant as the choice was, there has
been no moment since when it could have
risen upon the tyrAnt, without bringing up
on its head an accumulation Of horrors
which it AppAls the imagination to con.
ceive. Its tate shOuld be warning TO
every other Southern community, never to
surrender TO Yankee dominion, but permit
itself in preference to be obliterAtsd from
the face Of the earth, AS far milder and
enyiaule lot.
We must content ourselves to look with
such forti'ude and philosophy as we may
upon the escape Of the wretch who has in.
flcted such suffering and shame upon our
largest Southern city, and the jubilAnt ex.
ultation Of himself aud his kindred brutes
ia the North over the atrocities aud indig.
mites be has heaped with impunity upon
his Southern victims But we would rath'
er be in the country which has suffered
from such monster than the country
which has produced bin. A people who
can glory in the career Of such creature u!
Butler, literally glory in their shame
There is nothing in tie mans military his
tory to render his character attractive CVet
to his own friends. He has never been OF
battle field since the beginning of thr
war, and who was known to be a coward
before the war commenced. In all proba
bility the gross insult which he received
whilst member OF the Democratic Con
vention in Charleston, and which, nstCa'
Of resenting, he quailed under like {
whipped hound, has been the ruling mo
tive Of the atrocities he has since perpe
tra,ed dpoula deienselsss population Wha
can the world think Of IL people who cat
receive with an ovation wretch who hat
only distinguished himself by his tyraun!
over those who could not resist Let u
consign the miserable beast to oblivion
Let him riot in his own cline till The dN!
when, either in this world or the next, Jus
tice will claim her own. He is worthy o
the people from whom be came, and the!
are worthy of him.
