WHAT a SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR SAYS,
ABOUT IT.
T Gen. III. g. Butler IN Hartford Post
IutcrUic,o


Iatcruicv.
It is my firm conviction that after tho
next Presidential election universal peace
will prevail, and the auimositics of scotion
be swallowed up in the prosperity Of tho
country. ln my own Senatorial position
[ am struggling rather to extinguish
altogether the naturally dying cmbers Of
political hate aud sectional ranoor than
rcilluminc spark by party issues, not
only strive to avoid controversial debate, but
as often seek to divert the tendency of such
a current of legislative action by the pre-
sentution of cxtrinsio subject matter.
forcsaw the results Of the extra session and
endcavored to prevent it. 1t was great
blunder, aud its effects are beiug now SON
sibly felt in many ways The North forced it,
and the South had no alternative, aud yet
the South is made tho undcserviDg scape-
goat of all the errcrs Of the party.

Tho Dublin correspondent Of tho London
Times of the 10th instant, confirms the report
that no fears arc now felt that any body will
die in Ireland Of starvation, but he says there
are somc worry sud exception to the general
improvement noted, and that so,erc distress
is felt in many places. There is considerable
suffering among tho small farmers in Ulster,
who arc too proud to complain. Fovor has
appeared in some districts in Louth in Tin
perary and in West Cork in consequence Of
the doslitution. Relief has been given, but
has como late, and is not Of the kind suited
to tho sufferers.
