General Butler, VINO is meaEdering up and down
Massachusetts, finds to say Of the Republican party,
Of which he was recently member. The accusa-
tions varied, according to the locality in which
the General happens TO be holding forth. Thus he
brought forward lbs great cranberry argument last

upon the crowd that the low price of Cranbeies was

Colonel PeltOn is backward in coming forward.
Marble has confessed that he forwarded
corrupt propositions to NewYork, and Coyle
