of General Butler, copied from Tile
Baltimoreaia, and surmounts it with an
excellent portrait of that distinguished
statesman The Advertiser pays him
the following merited compliments: In

when the instinct of patri 'tism was u

ply, when the great idea OF country
came like revelation Of love, and in all
the great trials that have searched the
hearts of this people within the last
twenty years, hu has been to US, US it
were, cloud by day and pillar Of fire
by night. There is no man without the
faults OF human nature; but whatever
his faults, Calbraith Butler wears the
honor of his gallant manhood like
diamond on his bosom, and carries in.his
hand-and will unto dealh-the love and
admiration Of the people who know him
