GEN. BUTLER on rus FUTURE Policy OF

meeting at Springfield, Illinois
LOWELL. Mass, Sept. ., 1868.
To Hon. James C.. ConkiiRg:
Your despatch inviting me to attend the
Springfield Mass Convention has been receiy-
cd. just us had returned from u journey.
should be glad to meet my brethren of
the Northwest upon the momentous ques-
tions Of the present and the future.
The rebellious States exist only by the sur
prise and weakness Of the General Govern
ment. Compromise, are impossible save be-
tween equals in rights. Reorganization or
reconstruction is alone useful when the vic.
ious parts are to be left out. Amnesties arc
for individuals, not for organized communi.
ties.
Therefore prosecute the war. Bring eycry
part OF the country into submission TO the
laws Of the United States. Then there will
be no place for rebellion. no parties for com-
promises, no occasion for reconstruction, and
clsmency may be shown aud amnesties offer
cd 10 individual citizens who desire them.
Is there any other way to restore the Union :?

The Poor MANS WAR.-Tho concluding
paragraphs Of the Now York Mayor opdyke''
Message are as follows:
This war, above oil other wars Of which
history makes mention, Is q war waged on
our part In the interest Of poor men. The
rebellion was plotted, begun and prosecuted
in the interes. OF the owners OF slaves
Whether the man who labors with his hands
should be FREQ man or slave, should own
himself or be owned by another, is the ulti-
mate question which this nation Is now de-
Gliding, in the assemblies OF the people, in
Legislative halls, in executive cabinets, and
on many fields Of battle.
The rebels maintain that that is the best
condition OF society where the land is divided
into great plantations and their owners own
also the laborers who till them and the arti-
sans who make their implements: and this
condition oil society the rebels are striving to
fortify and extend. The tree and loyal peo-
pie of the land maintain that the laborers
and the artisans should be rs free rs the own
ers Of the soil.
Thus. ofall the people in the country. tho
laborcrs and the artisans are the most inter-
ested in this question. We are taking their
side. seeking to bring universal opinion to-
their favor, writing and speaking Tor their
cause, and fighting for il by sea and land.
Would il not seem incredible blindness and
faulty, If they whose interests are thus in
volyed, and whose cause is stirring the blood
of true men all over the world, should them
selves hold hack and leave Others to defend
their rights?
