Address of Gen. Butler al the Academy of
Music.
New YORK, Nov. Is.
Gen. Butler delivered an address this even
ing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, on
usurpation, wrongs and abuses of the Execu-
tive power, and the constitutional remedy
therefor. The address passed off without the
least sign of disapprobation; ON the contrary,
the General was frequently applauded. His
main points were on the impeachment of Pres
ident johnson. He CHARGED him with high
crimes and misdemeanors, which might be
grouped under heads of intoxication and of
making indie and incendiary harrangues
intended to incite the hatred and fear of the
people against the Congress Of the United
States; with usurping the rights and powers of
Congress; with misappropriation of the gov
doning power; with appointing Ineligible men
to office; with neglecting to carry out the pro-
visions of the Constitution and pardoning John
7, Munroe, that he might be Mayor of New Or
leans; and so use his influence in interfering
with the Louisiana State Convention, and in
killing, assassinating and numbering its mem
bers. He accompanied each of the charges
with several specifications, and closed with
general anathema against the enemies of the
country, in which he said: ave ask nothing of
those who have fought against u.s. neither do
we ask them how we shall reconstruct this
Government" 1t l
