And now; my friends, 1 do not know but
that I shall commit some heresy but as a DEM

Loud cheers. have tho h%onoErto say as q
Democrat, and an Andrew Jackson Democrat,
that ] ann not for the Union to be again as it
was. Understand me. / was for the Onion
as it was, because l saw, or thought tsaw, In
the future the troubles which have burst upon
us but, having undergone those troubles, hav-
ing spent all the blood and treasure I. dc not
like to go back again and be Check by jowl"
as we were before with South Carolina, If can
help it. [Cheers Let no man misunder-
stand me; and l repeat it, lest il might be mis-
understood, l do not mean to giye-up a single
inch OF the soil of South Carolina. If I had
been alive at hat time, and had the position
and the ability, / would have dealt with South
Carolina as jackson did. and kept her in at
all hazards But now she has gone out and
l will take care that when she comes in again
she will come in better behaved. daughter
and cheers: I will take care that she shall
be. no longer the frebrand Of the Union ay,
that she shall enjoy, what her people, never yet
have enjoyed, the blessings of o republican
form:o of government &c ECheers. Therefore, in
that view. L am not for the construction of the
Union as It vas. Ihave spent tears and blood
enoughtontit, in conjunction with my fellow
cit ;zens, to make it a little better. It was,
good enough if it had been let alone. THE old
iAoaise .cas good enough for me but as they
hare pulled doxm the early part, Z propose,

Gen BUTLER alta reception given him in
New York by the Union League of that city.
.aThe UnionABUT NOT AZ. II, VAS" is
the programme Of the Abolition Administra-
ton, and in the accomplishment of their trea-
sonable purposes,-in their efforts to destroy
the liberties of the people, they are making
cats paws Of such men as BUTLER. 1t won't
do. TIL people understand that dodge. Bur-
LER once did act with the National Democra-
cy, not from principle, but from interest
has been the ruling trait in his char
ever worshipped- He was always in the mar
and at the service of the party that paid
The highest price. When the Democracy were
and beaten in 1860, through the in
,.rumentality of such time servers as BUTLER,
md a party rode into power upon a platform
it war with the Constitution of the country,
md when, as a legitimate result of its eleva-
ion to power, q dissolution of the Union en-.
ucd and a civil war was Inaugurated, Gov.
ANDREWS of Massachusetts, who perfectly un
his man, made him Mrjor-General
f Volunteers. Since then the people have
lis record before them, Firh appointed MID
tary Governor of Baltimore, his administra
ion was so odious that the President was forced
o ~transfer him to another field of operations.
We next find him at New Orleans, where his
onduct was SO infamous that he vas stig

RS, resident in that city, had to j nvoke the
rotection of their, government against his in
prescription, until at length, on the
enand of foreign governments the Admins
ration was forced to rem owe him.
Such is the man who claims to be an old
JACKSON Democrat. We should think the
refute the SANDER. BUTLER a JAcKsoN

If we are not to have the Union as it was
