Those Republican Congressman, and other
prominent members of the party who have
been SO lacking in comprehension of the dig
nifty and strength Of the financial planks in
the Chicago platform as to reject them and
adopt the dishonest and idiotic heresies of De-
mocracy, are everywhere receiving the punish
n1ent due to their stupidity or their. dema-
gseaisma Mr.. Cobb, of Wisconsin, who intro
duced the resolution last session to tax the
coupons of the bonds has received a renomi na-
ton, it is true, but it is only because of his
faithfulness as 4 Representative of the party Oh
other questions; besides, he was made aware
of the emphatic dissent of his constituents
from his bond-taxing scheme by series of as
sound financial resolutions as ever passed =
district convention. A Missouri Congressman
was thrown overheard on this express ground
nation for Governor because he followed But
Ter in holding ideas that are only a little less
despicabe than those Of Pepdleton. The con
stituents Of Gen. Butler are now considering
whether bis departure from the best and no
best doctrines Of Republicanism does not
make it fitting that he should have leave
to retire from active public life, notwithstaud-
ing the value of his services in the impeach-
mept trial and bis fidelity to other cherished
purposes of his party. A strong opposition to
him has already been organized in Essex conn
ty, and it will require every effort of his friends
to secure his reconciliation. Even ffhe should
be renpminated BY the convention, hundreds
win decline to be parties to the election Of the
only Republican repudiator that New Eng
land wiz send to the Forty First Congress
Among the keenest shafts that have been d.
rected against Butler is the concluding portion |
Of Edward Atkinson's last financial paper |
from which we have already made copioustex.

Fifth District of Massachusetts,, now misrepre-
scented in Congress, anything to do in this |
matter? 80.
Gen. Butler asks your support; he promises
your a great gain; he has discovered a gold
mine in which all shall share except the bond
