GEN. BUTLER ON THE NEW ORLEANS
RIoTs.-At a social gathering in Boston,
on Saturday evening, at which the two
Massachusetts Senators, Senator An
thony, of Rhode Island, Gen. Butler
and others were present, the Generals
opinion of the New Orleans riots was
asked. He expressed the conviction
that it was preconcerted plan to drive
the Union men from the State. He
spoke of Mayor Monroe as a renegade
son of Massachusetts, who, after being
imprisoned by him as a traitor, was
about to be released upon taking the
oath of allegiance, and had actually the
pen in his hand to affix his signature,
when word was brought in that Nc
Clellan had been defeated by the rebels
with the loss of 10000. Believing this
cGndrd, Monroe refused to sign, threw
down his pen, and was taken back to
prison, from which he was afterward
released by the action of the authorities
at Washington. Gen, Butler spoke OF
the great wealth of the freedmen Of
New Orleans, estimated at from S15,-
COO, 900 to 800, 600, 900, and of the conse-
quent large interest they had in the
future prosperity of the State. He ex-
pressed his apprehensions that if the
cruel treatment of freedmen, not only
at New Orleans, but also at Charleston
and other places, was continued, u war
of reprisals would be the result. The
down-trodden would sooner or later
turn and sting those who continued to
Cypress them.

Acquisition ana Answer.


If the Chicago convention-of blessed
memOry-which, it will be recollected,
never adjourned, should, at the call OF
its presiding officer, propose to meet at
Chicago, or ct Philadelphia during an
interval of the convention of the 18th,
would its assembling be deemed suE-
tiCient occasion for the enactment of
scenes like those which have lately oc-
CURED in New Orleans? OF course it
would not. The law, the practice and
the deep seated principles of the peo-
pie are all reSOlutely set against such
shocking atrocities, as those which
seemed to come so natural to the rabble
and Olfice-hOlders in New Orleans The
Chicago convention might hold its ses-
sions in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or
Boston, without theleast danger of mob
violence, or the requirement of any aid
or orders from Washington. The right
of citizens peaceably to assemble is held
sacred'by the higher civilization of our
country.
The Chicago Convention and the con-
ventlon at New Orleans were different,
1t is true, in their character, but as an
assemblage of citizens, the latter had as
good right TO meet as the former. 1t
is not apparent, as yet, that il had any
design untaVorable to the interests and
peace of the State. Certainly, it COM
mitted no act and adopted no measures
was that it met under Union auspices,
and with aspirations in favor of free
dom. For this it was violently assault
ed and its members ruthIessly muir
dered.
The fact is before the country. We
hope for thorough investigation of
the cause of this horrid slaughter, and
for the condign punishment Of the per-
petrators and their accOmplices. Re-
belllon in that form may be as fatally
Injurious to the Union as in the form
that it has heretofore assumed. The
same malignant and destructive spirit

A FEW WORDS OF COMMON SENSE.
How few there are who are not subject to
some affection of the lungs or respiratory Or

TOMS aggravate the complaint, until disease
strikes its shafts, causing inexpressible tor
ture of the patient, and anxiety and distress
to friends. "Only n coldw GA slight sore

when so affected. Yes; "Only a cold," was
the thoughtleSS expression of thousands
whom death has marked for his prey.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS should be the
motto forever in the minds of all subject to
Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or Influenza. Words
OF advice should be needed by all suffering

why delay? What excuse can be offered

merits of this preparation are by no means
exaggerated; in fact-fall far short of the

have been cured by its timely use. A guaran-

NIARsDEN.s CAL1sAYA TONIC.

In convalescence from Cholera, Malignant
Fevers, Small Pox, or any Cutaneous Affec-
tions, will be found invaluable, giving tone
to the system, and removing all the pros
trating effects incidental to disease. The
universal and popular knowledge of the vir-
tues of TRUE Calisaya Bark requires no exc
PLANTATION; centuries have passed since its dis
covery, and 1t is now recognized rs the best
febrifuge which bOuntiful nature has favored
us with. Science has discovered many
methods of extracting its virtues, and reduc-
ing, to a small bulk, the active principles of
the Bark, viz, Quinine, Cinchonine, etc., all
of which are invaluable as medical agents.
The great want of a mild and reliable tonic
in cases of Debility, Night SweatS, Scrofula,
Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, and other disea-
Ses incidental to disorganized system, has
induced me'to present this to the medicaipro-
fession and sufferers, as the most reliable, safe
and powerful tonic that can be prepared
combining, as 1t does, all the active princi-
pies of the True Calfsaya Bark, with other
ingredients, which render it the perfection of
remedy for all the above diseases.
