Prom The Springfield Rep.oionn. >,
IL is impossible that Gen. Butler shOni1 noI

There is law of the members In his case that
fOrhds him TO remain stagnant or continue conssu,,
SSSy the period OF an 0TS % his
present position before many moons whether y Viii y DO
ernorship with the marshalng Of the labor reform ana
prohibtOry factions and the oonstraining OF the admin
stration influence to his support or whether remaining
in Congress- and seizng upon the scattered and local
elements of opposition to the Treaty OF Washington as an
excuse, he VIII his thin alliance with Gen Grant
and undertake to lead the Republican opposition to ms
denomination, or even the Democratic oppostiOn 10 s
reelection would not be safe positively predict He Is
as likely to thing the other and almost certain to
do the other. But In whatever new role he may

of those VINO doubt and would resist him. HIS audacy
experience has shown that poweress before bold
resistance Confronted sharply his swelling front nas
suddenly and as harmessy as prcked soap Dspne. @
He has real moral hold upon either he people Oh Mus
or the nation MIN m hue Carlny nS E eond s1
ceed in dividing the Republican party OF
sibly get their nomination through lack Of unity
and Of organzaOn and OF pluck on the part OF his op

except through large proportion OF the DenocraLo
vote which he very likely could pervert 10 MS support
vALLANDIGHAM.
From The Providence Journal
We have spoken kindly, as nave most oI
the Republican papers, OF the late DIT. Naaiu gna ;
Death softens political asperlties ana makes US forget
the animostes that we felt toward the living and which
once ranked in the breast of the dead And ~ Is wen
that n sboud be should be But there is danger OF
carrying this quite too far. Mr. valandgham must not
be held up as an example to the young men en Gt s naroc
thousands TO fight, and, many OF thei, 10 e iol I'LL 1
country ne gave MS bst Country ' He STAYED at
home, and, by his powerful voice and ms great lnnu
with the Democratic party impede9 tne @O'ev W
do recall this with pleasure, or with any yHctNe
feeling; but il is not right that the death OF Nhhus
ham sho he
upon him, but of blame upon patrlotc men VINO nase
not make a loyal man of dIsoyal mani it does not
condone treason that man accidentally SHOOTS nlse
The occasion is a proper one to call TO the public view
the virtues of the unfortunate and TO con-
dole with those who are bereavedb by his deab IL IL V m
occasion to reverse the Judgment that has been deber
atey passed upon his public acts 1t is not an occasion
say that what it was treasonaDle for man 40 a p
while lived matter TO be praised when he Is dead m
Burnside never did more proper thing than %hen ne
arrested Vallandigham whose whole line Oh eouuc' "
10 encourage the enemy.
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
From TIE ClncRRdH PoikSb1h =,
The Republican party will encounter lts OpI
rsnk and fake up the contest with courage and
the assurance Of victory. The impure and as reS'.s %
Western Democrat the doubt and disrust of the people
in the honest and wemeant new departure Delnocras
rangues OF Je Davis, Robert Toombs and other former
Rebel chiefs will push the expectant ana m dn
as the Democratic party STANDS up as % eIn thc
stant menace 10 LaG to Weaken the national
credit and so long the leading Democrats OF the
South do not throw the Confederate nag into the uDer
room but continue hold ii up before their followers
as symbol and prOgnOstic of the ultimate independence
of the South long will the people or the NOrh nolu
together as brothers in the consciousness OF common
danger Their interests PATRIOTISM ana te sacIeu
obligation which the people OF the N0rtn owe 10 the
thousands of victims who sacrificed their lives or nnps
for the maintenance Of the Union will always operate
as ameans of uniting the welmeaning and patIloucay
disposed citizens long as they apprehend danger IRON
the South to the preservation OF the UnOn III the h
publican party can advance its positions but slowly anu
cautiously the fault is mainly with the Democracy

The Richmond wig.
The Bourbons and impracucables are not
confined to the South. There some at the North ana
they are extremely bilious. Time fails TO molliy ther
rage. They get madder every day. There are some IN
Ohio some In Pennsylvania some In New 1OIK. Inc

and will fight the proposed New Departure" TO the
bitter end They perhaps have notion that their BOur

should be prompt in teaching them that they canOt
