ABUSE OF GEM BUTLER

There is something in the bitter
hatred shown towards Gen. Butler
by many influential Republican
papers and politicians that We don't
understand. It can hardly be
because he chances to differ from
them on certain public questions.
And yet that is the only reason we
can discover, unless it be to prove
that they arc not to be outdone on
Independence" and scurrility by
their Democratic. contemporaries.
Gen. Butler is quite as true to the
principles Of the party as the ablest
and most jealous Of them, and
quite as honest 4 man politically or
personally as any Of his puritanical
assailants. He has rendered a.
valuable services, both to the ooun-
Try and party, a. the most distin-
guished Of them. Whatever the
cause. We believe the abuse heaped
upon him as unjust as it is mean,
and that just to the extent they
weaken theinduence Of Gen. Butler,
they damage the Republican party
and its principles
The above taken from the
National Era, receives our hearty
and we desire to add
that no man in the United States
has met such bitter opposition from
he Democratic party, especially in
he South, WHARF tho most dis
c~arica&uxing and vilifoa-
ion. have been indulged n,. al
,roving out Of the iron nerve dis
by the General while COM
handing the Department Of tbs
3ulf, and It may be said to his
that be was one of the few
nan who had stoidsm enough to
tho Establishment Of the
