such complete and sesthing review Of

it leaves little to be said. As Gen. But
Ter has been put forward in the present
campaign by himself ana bis supporters as
the exponent Of ECONOMY and faithful
administration. aud the representative OF
high moral principles generally. it is GER
tainly unfortunate for his cause that be

The hostility displayed BY clergy and
the religious press to Gen. Buffers pre-
tensions, aud which appears inexplieablo
to that gentleman, is no mystery to DIR.
HOar. He recalls another parsonage much
prosecuted by the clergy and religious
press. who Ike Gen. Butler was notorious
ly unfortunate in his al!usion 10 Scripture.
Mr.. Hear remarks, with truth, that it is
rare that the religious press OF the country
attacks honorable public men; ard adds
that it is the common cutlery Of great
malefactors that mankind are in league
against them. The eloseness Of the an
alogy between Butler aud Buckingham,
will be apPareRt to all who are familiar
with English history; and Nugent's de-
scriplion of Buckingham, which Mr.. lloar
quotes, FITS so closely to Butler that ono
would think it vas made for him.
Mr. Toar in few quiet sentences, dis
poses completely Of Gen, Butler'swar rec-
ord. From 1861, when Governor Andrew
declared that his course seemed "to have
been designed and adapted simply to af.
ford means to porsous of bad character to
make money unscrupuloualy and to encour-
age men whose unflness had excluded them
from any appointment by me 10 the volun-
tcer military service, to hope for such APP
pointment over Massachusetts troops from
other authority than that Of the executive
of Massachusetts,, to 1864, Nhenhe was
ordered to report at Lowell, for the
very good reason that he was no service
in the field-his military career was marx
cd by incapacity and failure. In regard
to his dishonest attempt in his fayorite
role of Mophistopheles, to persuade the
people into the Reputation Of the Nation
al debt, Mr.. llOar quotes against him that
terse utterance in Gen. Grants inaugural,
4" Let 1t be understood that no repudiatol
of one farthing Of our public debt will be
trusted in public place"
The only two things which Gen. But
Ter has done we'll, according to Mr.. Hoar''
estimate, were to out.blackguard a New
York mob in 1864; and, with an army a.
his back, TO keep down rebel city il
1862. As Mr.. Hoar suggests, Massachus
etts is not likely to stand in need of eli
Their of these processes. The summary O
all his other attempts, Mr.. Iloar express
cs 10 thA three words, "Swagger, quarrel
failure" This epiromc ofhis character =
