A few days since we published an editorial
healcl benjamin =. Butler" which called
out reply from the Portland Press giving US
easy fits for going over TO the Generals fnan-
eial policy. Inasmuch as We did not mention
finances, that conclusion seems 10 be most lamo
anil impotent The Portland Advertiser, how
ever, comes to tins in gallant style with the
following:
We Bldieford Journal expresses some sur
prise that Republican paper like the Press or
Advertiser should "catch up the rebel yell
against General Butler. Gen. Butler stands
before the country charged by military CON-
mission. and Congressional committee, with
conving at the acts Of the people who were
practically his agents, in furnishing to the rebel
Army Of Virginia, supplies Of food and clothing,
which protracted the rebellion for months, ut q
cost Of blood and treasure which would Tar out
weigh all the services Of that eminent command
or. though multiplied thousand fold. lie was
dismissed from his command for this offcnse,
and has never offered any explanation OF his
conduct, nor demanded any investigation. IL
is not rsbel yell which requires him TO purge
himself Of the charge Of treason.
Ii may well DO q study some time In the fa-
ture when the sciences are brought nearer to
perfectiOn-it may be study now. how man
usually careful and cautious. and who We know,
uninauencei by partiranship, would not mis-
represent anybody, IL he knew ii, could deliber-
ately write to the public paragraph as long as
the one We have quoted from the Advertiser. in
which there is not one word Of truth, nor one
word which apprOzima,es to the truth. The
statement by the Advertiser is a libel and Il Is
liable to prosecution and conviction; for no
military eommission irds srsr Instructed TO-.
or did, act upon any act Of Gen. Butler dur
inc hs rar, none, ,ras srsr organi.sd for that
or any kindred purpose.
The Advertiser, as Il hiss right TO be, is an
ardent supporter Of Mr.. fcscnden, and guards
every approach to tina. gentleman's situation.
We are, therefore. not disposed to believe that J,
10 much intended to strike at Gen. Butler, as Il
intended to strike at military gentleman near
cr home. II had In Its mind the statement Of
one Gordon who was twice court martiaiied and
dismissal the service When Gen. Butler was
relieved from the Army Of the james, this Cor
,ion applied 10 Gen. Ord for command at the
second district Of Norfolk. alleging that he could
find many damaging things against Generals
shcplcy and Butler. but utterly fAiled. r,..

The facts are these George W. Lane Of Boston,

profoundly inprcsssd with the conviction that
Il would have been vastly better Cor all con-
oerned, had the parties to this movement seen

mode Of State Convention, could have an OPP
portunity to express their win in the matter.
We have deprecated, and do still dePrccate all
attempts, from whatever quarter and by who
ever made, to forestall the action Of the whole
Republican party. before it has an opportunity
to act by its regularly chosen representatives In

We agree with the Times that "the gentlemen

have done by placing him in q position to en-
