MhsRaehusette, whore Butler iB again rolling tho
stone up the mountain, saucing all tho inBti.u-
tlons and celobritieH Of tho ago, and donna
goging like q criminal lawyer before an intelli-
gent Courthouse in tho backwoods. Rospecta-
bility outside Of tho State musters feobly, and,
on the whole, hopos he will bo defeated, but
with lurking idea that It would servo tho
cscutcleon Of Massachusetts right to havo But
lors spoons crossed with Oakes Amos' Bhovels,
and sprinkcd with John B. Alloys shoo-pegs.
Tho American people 1ovo knave Of snap,
whether ho sell pntent- medicines, water railway
stock, or flourish In Congress-. Jim Fisk has hia
sipcare mourners IN every bar-room In New York.
Butlor s tho boy for cartere, hostlors longshoro-
mon, hack-arivors. and thht groat multitude Of
people to whom tho Government and official po-
aitton aro distant worlds Of attainment.
In no State, since South Carolina has declined,
are the opposite ends Of tho social syHtom 30 ap-
parently unBympathetio as In Massachusetts.
Your 1ne old Deacon-stroes gentleman may
DO the sinoorost Republican in the country, but
hin hired nan is not aware of 1t. There Ia an
ab1o-bodicd frgidity in the porson who know his
grandfather's consequence In Boston, which Ii
only wholly aoor when q number Of them as-
Hemblo together and proceed to distribute the
honors Of the State. "RcBolved," say they,
"that the earth Is tho portion Of tho saints.
Resolved further, TINT VIC arc tho saints." Tho
opposition to Butler amongst thcse folks Of the
cloth IL not logical to people further down tho
socia1 senlo. Ho Ia everything which they aro
except themselves. He indorsod Oakes Amas,
back-pay, and President Grant. He gave his
consure, like them, to Charles Summer, mud
on all tho battlo-fags. Ho denounced, uke
them and their journals, in terms auflciont-
ly blRaphemous, tho few Senators who voted
not guilty on the subject Of Androw johnson.
~ nao is everything of them t but them" says
or, ho hns got aa much right Us they" Many
people prefer negro-minbtrelsy to tragedy small
beer to dry shorty, and an onion to an olive. Bon
Butler fills all tho requirements Of the first part.
He ia great man BY tho Endorsement OF tho Es-
Box District, Gen. Grant, aud the Republican
party !; hence Lis oratory, slang, lying, defense
of stealing, etc., all appear to tho Commons aH
part Of his approved record. Grant backs wator
before him, Ho is low enough, nasty enough,
in Massachusetts, tho attention OF the country,
and d son-i1l-laW for Senator, one Of those
honorable West Pointers whom Butler so long
assailed, who was raisol into the Senate by .
the Civic tramp. Tho Irish wing Of the Demo-
cratic pnrtyis said to DO covortly with Butler he
keeps tho Work1nen in Essex employed. He can
play tho denngo8ue to tho lowly, aud Hauce tho
LOFTY VIII IuAt pcCu4i&F COCR-8Ya WHICH appeAFb
to have beon conception Of hts own mud no
work Of Naturo's. Did the world ever havo bis
equal in compass OF "B1nartneas"? Yes, he ia
nothing new. Every nation has had the like Of
him, and he WAS great wonder md horror In
his day but there ia no record Of him, Tho
roaaon is, that this kind Of man has no oreasivo
power he loavoa nothing, anY moro than
Grimaldi, who lived by making faces, but whom
tho pen Of Dickons could not Yitalize when he
WaB gono.
I3,,f1or IL r1nrnnt,o1x, not+;rr off or,,r,
with tho idea that ii he Hets OF enough ho will
be eminent; but such O performance, while 1t
will always draw IN audience is tho more Of q
nuisance the moro there Ia Of 1t.
Ah1Es.
His son-in-aw, AmeH, has got Sambo'a prefer
ence to Senator Alcorn, and iB muvnE on Al
corn's works with more than Dutlor's capacity;
for, as / have heard Alcorn himself say, ho llas
firht-class executive capacity and the doyorn-
mont educated it for lin. Thus cool, young
dltiona, public man, planter, and man to the
manor born, Notwithstanding the latter has ac-
cepted every amendment and oboyod tho con-
quoror'a mandatoa with all sincerity.
MoHBY,
Mosby Is great guerrilla. He has recovered
what he has always cared most about, tho good
will Of the whitepeoplo Of Virginia. by going back
on Hughes aud declaring for Komper and ho
has also been logical in his dislike Of Northern
lied Republic by advocating. Grants usurpation
of a third torn over the Union MoHby fought to
disaolvo. There is nothing like chsgactor. It iB,
to bo sure, premature to make the issue over .
third term whore npoplexy ia likely to bo tho
aolo eloctor but the patriotism of tho era OF
Credit Mobiller is shown III tho proposition. II
Washington got two terms with that dolicate
and lihorty-lovlng generation, why not Grant get
three with this 1nonoy-loying generation Truly

suspect, however, that, in Arosby's detection
