BUTLER.

Whatevermay be the merits of Gen.
BETTER a. Il military commander, all
must concede that in statesmanship
he Is the fnll equal of Wnyof those now
in p0wcr. In 4 recent Interview with
a correspondent OF the New York
Herdid, he gave utterancc to some
opinions in reference to our relations
with England, which seem strangely
in conflict with Mr.. SUMMERS views
ON the slmc subject.
1--WE have,T say Gen. BUTLER,
almost canonized rebellion on this
Continent by the Monroe doctrine,
which bids Us to interfere with all re-
beltions Where any people arc assert
ing their unwillingncss to be governed
by any ether government than thatof
their choice. Now if sympathy with
the rebellion is the giSt of our com
piaint against England whether as to
time or as 70 the fact, England NAV.
reply, we have been no swifter than
you; Wc have only syInpathized ac-
tiyely IN rebellion against You, as you
have done in all rcbellions against
other Countries" again he says:
"All rebellions have been attempts
of communities TO compel the
right to manage their domestic
Institutions in their own way, dtd1l0t

Now let u ask il this is not as e4-
tire a defense and Justification of the
r~ightfulness of the "IoSf coRse,7 as
could bepenned byanySouthen mar?
But as if he felt the crushing weight
of this admission, BUTLER endeavs
ored afterwards to weaken its effect by
two statements, both Of which are en-
tirely incorrect. The first of these is,
"that it was openly claimed by the
Confederacy, as its ultimate object and

vs. z1rLs PETrE

The New Orleans Times, which,
since it swallowed the great Crescent,
and very much smaller fry, has be-
come pulled up and conceited, thus
growls its dissatisfaction that any
Conventions should be held in the
Mississippi Valley, outside of that
city:
There is to be another of those large as
semblies called Commercial Conventions,
which ave been 50 often held in the Val
ley Of the Mississippi. 1t is 10 be held at
Memphis, and we should be gratified to
attend it. There is always a good deal to
be learned in such assemblies, albeit the
ideas picked up are generally i'm the pro-
portion OF G~ratiano's few grains of wheat
picked out of "A bushel of chat. There is
such an enormous overlooking and eXplo-
sion Of rhetorical gas, such a vast %yentila-
ton of wild and crude themes n
schemes, that a sensible and practical man
despairs of any useful results, or even
profitable inteTchanges ofopiniOn. Shrewd
and observing men will, however, learn
something that may be made valuable and
useful hereafter.
There is even a more serious objection
TO these conventions in their bearing upon
our city. New Orleans never had the least
weight in these bodies. They always Snub
the greatest city in the Mississippi Valley
and direct all their schemes and plans to-
ward the advancement of some secon Or
third-rate town. Indeed, il is generally
some device which would 49, and in
jure the trade of this city hat ind most
favor and excites the greatest interest
among the majority of such assemblies.
Should the Convention adjourn to this
city, We trust that all selfish, narrow and
sectional considerations viii be thrust
aside. and a broad, comprehensive policy
adopted which will tend TO establish Il
community OF interest throughout the
whole Southwest.
In these remarks wethink the Times
does not only the people of Memphis
but of all the river towns n gross in
justice. We do not remember 4 time
when the Difference due to the great
Southern commercial capital was not
willingly conceded throughout the
Valley, in town as well as country and
we know that since, as before the war,
every opportunity has been embraced
to assist in maintaining the metrOpoli-
tan status of and building up New Or
leans. We hope the Times will take
back its indiscreet expressions, espe-
cially in view of the fact that it invites
in the Crescent City the presence of
the gentlemen whom it c~haracterize5
as engaged in some device to divert or
injure its trade. We are sorry for the
Times.

E'NR W4R.

The New York Tribune Is in favor
Of war with Great Britain, because il
would force nOn-intervention between
this and that country, and prevent
the sale of Southern cotton to any but
New England manufacturers, who
are nearly all high-tariff men. The
result of such a course would be
shortly felt in a second hnpoverish-
ment of the South and enrichment of
the North. The true interests of the
people of the South are to epromOted
through peace. The Tribune is an old
and pcrSistent.cnemy Of the SOUTH
implacable and bitter because her peO-
pie favor free trade. That's the milk
in the coacoanut.

design TO reopen the slave trade" So
far from this being true, n of the
earliest acts of the Confederate Con-
gress was a solemn declaration that
the slave trade should not be re-opened.
The other assertion is, at is certain
that the rebels looked to an ultimate
monarchy" This is contradicted by
the Constitution of the Confederacy,
and by the whole action of the Gov
eminent. Soon after that Constitution
was sent out to the world, the New
York Herald and the New York Tri
5mae both announced that it was a
great Improvement uponthe C0nstitu-
ton of the United States, and con-
tanned more ample and better defined
guarantees of liberty. These asser-
tions, therefore, fail him, and do not
break the force of his declaration:
We have always held it as a ear
dinal rule of our international policy
to afford aid and comfort, moral and
material, to all rebellions. This is
almost a necessity of our national be-
ing. Born of revolution, holding our
country to the oppressed of all nations
as the political refuge and sanctuary of
all rebels and insurrectionists against
all Governments, we must necessarily
hold, and in practice did hold, that all
revolutions and instructions were
right, and all attempts of Govern
ment to subdue or put down insurrec-
ton were wrong. We always found
ourselves in sympathy at least with
rebellion, whether in Greece, in Po-
land, in Hungary, in Canada or in
Crete"
Now If all this be true, and there is
no way to deny it, ought not the Gov
.ernment of the United States for the
mere sake of consistency, to declare
universal amnesty to the South, andtO
receive the States again into full fell
lOwship in the Union? We shall not
attempt to elaborate principles that
are obvious to all.

TIE CONTENTION.

The proceedings attendant upon the
opening and organization of the Con-
vention will be found on u fourth
Nge, reported in full. Nothing of
moment has vet transpired. We pre-
sumo the real business will be preached
to-day, when we anticipate some action
upon a proper System of Leyees, the
Memphis and FL Paso Railroad and
Immigration. We hope the remarks
of the New Orleans Times, elsewhere
printed, will not apply to this Con-
vention, and that members will strictly
confne themselves to the shortest and
quickest method of arriving at results.
Set speeches and orations are out of
place. What we want is action.
