General Butler and IIie New
=. ~ York ROIlEhSs llr

I In the New York Tribune, we find an
aceo mt of brutal demonstration of the
| Copperhead roughs Of New York against
General BUTLER, on the Sd inst. Apart from
I its relations to the election, says tho Gin,
cinnati Gazette, possesses peculiar claims
to attention. Delivered before and in spite
of an inluriated Copperhead mob, it, was
one OF the boldest, most scathing and thor
oughlydeserved rebukes eveEadministered
to gang of inebrated rufflahs. General
BUTIER said !: r,,.lrt,,,,,,r
Perhaps no better exempfication of the
rebel spirit could be furnished than in the
scene before us where a few men, merely
| by the force of noise, are trying tc stfle
| free speech, under the eye of their leader
whom by such arguments they hope to
elect as GoYernnr,i aud who has pow the
power by word to still the mob which
disgraees the city Of New York Lcheers,
| from the citizens, over which he presides,
! fCheers from the mob If he were fit TO
rule he would see that he is merely follow
ing in the footsteps of him who, from the
steps Of that building, addressed murder
GUS mob Of orphan killers. Cheers from
the citizens1 One Democratic Governor
OF the State Of New York, by his completely
with the mob spirit, has forever doomed
himself to that infamy which lnobocracy
must ever find in this country. Cheers
from the otizens.] Another be
Governor, tile Mayor, in tho precincts and
purlieus of his own Office, sets his hired
retaners at so much q week to put down
free speech and FREQ discussions Loud
applause from the citizens and three groans
for Seymour. 1t has been said that this
matter. this disturbance is personal to my.
self. / ask no higher ouinpliinent than
that which my fellow citizens would pay
lme after comparing this spectacle on the
third day before the election with the state
of things which existed here on the third
day before the election in November, 1864,
when had command Of tho city Of New
York. Immense applause from the cltl'
zens, and groans and lIOotings from the
mob. No cur dared yelp Elalghte and

4 spirit Of misrnle that has been introduced
into the community of New York from tIlC

on the freedom Of speech. There ere,
