BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, in his
speech at Andover, Mass, on the
18th ult, said;
1.-The elections Of the past week
show that there is to be a contest
OF the most determinel character;

it frankly, Mr.. Tilden's eectiopis
not impossible; ; nay, not improb-
able.
EVERY member Of the Linco|n
cabinet now living is now support

single exception, and that one is

HERE is manly declaration
from Wade Aampton'S talk at
Darlington, South Carolina:
| do here, what | did in the
cougention. | pledge myself SOL
emnly, in the presence of the peo
pie Of South Carolina and Of my
God, that if the Democratic ticket
is elected, | shall know no party
nor race in the administrator OF
the law. So sure as the law pro,
nouuces man guilty, so sure shal
that man be punished. | shall
know nothing but the law, and the
constitution Of South Carolina and
of the United States. Immense
applause We recognize th'
shirtcensh, fourteenth and 6ttecntf
amendments of the constitute n
and accept them in good faith
The colored people know that it is
under those amendments that they
enjoy the rights they now hav"
We stand upon that platform, ant
not one single tight enjoyed by
the colored people to day shall be
taken from them. They shall bt
tho equals, under the law, of any
man in South Carolina And w
further pledge that we will give
better facilities for education thar
they have ever had before.
THE "Solid South" will give
Tilden 1873 electors. And how
tho N,r h ? New York, 35; Con
nectiout, 6; New Jersey, 8; Pen
nsylvarin, 30; Indiana, Is; Oregon
8; Wisconsin, 10; California, 9
Nevada, 3; making 116, with ever
chances for Illinois, 81, and New
Hampshire, 5, and even Ohio %
and Massachusetts, 10--in all, ia
electors. And we rather like the
outlook which is net a solid Soutf
but also very solid North for
Tiden and Hendricks, Be all this
as it muy, the fact of Tildon''
election is fSed.
