4 .Northern Rs,,resesIsative.

Massachusetts, Of whom every fesnectaple
man In that state ought to be ashamed.
His conversations with the newspaper re-
porters who interview him indicate that he
Is as bold and unblushing in telling lies pri-
yately as in telling them IN his public
speeches. His impudence and assurance
merit the na,nc OF brassiness. He told the
reporter for Philadelphia paper the other
day that he was chained to the Re-
publican oar though he. did not
agree with the Republican party on
some questions. And what reason
does the reader guess he gave for his deter
mination to continue to act with the Rcpub-
licans? He gave reason which is an insult
to every decent man in the North, as well as
q libel upon the people OF the South. He
had the !" cheeks to declare that the minute
he should ."take any pronounced issue with
s'the Republicans on any leading question,
sstinance, tariff, or anything else, that min
t"ute would it encourage those devils down
"south to kill and burn and crush to pow
stder the colored men and the loyal whites"
AS il anybody in the South had ever had
any cause, to be- afraid OF anything about
him except his lying tongue. The misera-
BILE dog was never near q battlefield
in his life while the battle was
raging. He never performed a brave
act in his life. !, He kept himself out
Of danger always during the war. We do
not suppose chat any man who ever served
under him would testify that BUTLER had
ever for one moment been Intentionally in
place OF danger. All the dead negroes or
other slain soldiers that he ever saw he saw
in riding over the battlefield after the guns
had been hushed. He cut off no soldiers
leg or head unless ne initiated FALsTAFF, OF
whom he is q living representative,
and dismembered a dead body. He
is a cruel, constituencies coward and there
is no true southern man who does not feel
that il Massachusetts, can afford 10 be repre-
sented by such villain, the people OF the
South can afford to be misreMesented by
him. Hear him again:
.sThere would be no use for me TO go
with the Democrats OH the money plank,
even il beloved their protestations, and OF
course I am bound to believe that great
party such as that would not lie. / should
gain nothing, and I should lose in this, that
/ would bring the South into power again
to govern the country, and the question Of
equal protection to all citizens IS OF mucf
more importance than the money question:
Hewould bring the South into power,
4
lection to the negroes! Where are the re-
spectacle people OF Massachusetts that they
thus let this cowardly braggart speak FOL
them without protesting against his un
paralIeled and unblusIing impudcnce? L
there had been no Drawer men than BUTLET
in the Federal army of the East it would
never have crossed the Potomac. Its OAR
inc deeds, its brave commanders, its acts Of
self-sacritice, and its splendid reputation
call trumpet-tongued upon the northern
people to put down BUTLER and all suci
scoundrels as disgrace to that grand army
of the republic It is for the northern PEG
pie to protect the reputation OF the northern
army. II they allow such beast as BUTLER tt
magnify his performances and besmlrch tht
records of men whose boots he is not fit tt
! blacken, upon them be the shame and TIT
disgrace. The South will allow no sucl
characters to speak for the army OF tic Con
! iederate States. .....
