Greeting by his Fellow Citizens Of LowcIl-The
General Jubilant-A Gentle Warming to Pro-
sldent johnson Not to Oppose Congress.
LOWELL, Nov. 8, 1868.
General Butler was greeted last evening by about
5000 OF his fellow citizens, to whom he made brief
speech He had trlumphed he said, under the
motto Of equality to all men and rights under the
law, by using freedoms great weapon, the ballot.
He hailed our glorious triumph Of republican
principles throughout the land, and believed
that 1t would bring peace and prosperity; we
shall not long have murder after murder and riot
after riot. Look at New Orleans, from which we
have reported rs 200 for Seymour and 276 for Grant,
people Of that city behaved better iappis1se and he
felt confident such time would come once more.
Several southern States have voted for Seymour,
or are In doubt because mems lives were threatened
II they attempted to vote. When Congress meets, as
1t will In short time, 1t viii be our purpose to ind
remedy for this state OF things and II Andrew
Johnson does not second our efforts, though 1t may
be late In the day, we win try to provide for him.
Ine party Is rue 70 .ne great
hold the government for o generation to come. We
must be true to the doctrines of equality and trust
people rather than to any member elected from
among Them Let us pledge ourselvesSas party IN
carrying out the principles under which we have
triumphed
General Buffers District.
The Salem Register, Of the 5th inst thus refers to
in Massachusetts, Il
The Fifth district has reelected General Butler by
an overwhelming majority, S S, her voters have re-
t, az WE knew they would, the ifnpudeht at
tenipts OF outsiders to dictate to and swerye them
me pensoncd eTorJs 81 hired ss..ss1iiIerers have
come to naught; the profuse aud reckless sqlan-
dering OF the money Of Wall street and State street
has miserably failed, and the stupehdous and her
culean labor eXerted has only resulted In beg
aarlv minority OF about 1880 votes out Of total
Of nearly 10000. Hereafter We at5 Inclined TO
think the Fifth DISTRICT VII. be let alone by
outsiders whose INVESTMENTS have paid SO poorly
Salem INDUCED ID broad and universal guffaw
on Tuesday when It became known that the prom
inent hgurer in the enaeute the Postmaster or Saem
did not vote for either Grant or Dana. His name
was not on the check list because he had paid no
taxes for two years. Mr.. Dana himself too, lost his
VOTE He had declared publicly 80 many times that
he had been resident Of Manchester for twenty
two years, the authorities OF Cambridge struck his
name from the lists there and he never was voter
in the beautiful town by the sea. Poor fitzpatrick
Also not only had the misfortune to lose his vote,
but the added modification OF seeing his candidate
In pitlful minority, and worse than all, his own
state Of New Jersey, which he had deserted to en-
gage in q shameful raid on this district, gone for
Seymour and Blair. We should think Fitzpatrick
would feel like making o bee line for the region Of
the dead mummies OF Chile that were shaken up by
the earthquake General Buffers vote In the district
Is 1900 more than II was in 1865, and larger
than Mr.. Alleys was in 1854. Every town In the
district give. him majority. A hundred guns were
fired on the Common in honor Of General Buffers
election.
