POLITICAL.
OPPOSED TO BUTLER.
An Addr. - by The .sOld Line" Demo-
Gratis.
BosroS, Oct. %

BosToN, Oct. %.
The following address will be issued tomor-
row bv .'od line democrats. signed by %
well known gentlemen who have been and
are now prominently connected IN the de-
mocracy ofthe State. The names of J. z
Adams, Leverett Saltonstall, Richard Olney,
Clinton villes, Francis W. Bird, George NJ.
Stearns and n. S. Smaller head the list To
the democratic voters of Massachusetts,, the
approaching election demands the greatest
consideration. Without abating our opposition
to the political views and methods of che
republican party we believe the democratic
success in the future will be neither deserned
nor achieved unless we free ourselves from
the charge of supporting candidates who have
loN cred the standard of political morality.
As democrats who wish to be consistent, we
appeal TO your patriotism and sober common
sense to oppose the reelection of Benjamin
f. Butler.
During all his restless nOtOriety as re
publican politician, and after his desertiop OF
the democratic party he was chiefly conspicu-
Gus pressing measures most odious to the con-
stitu,ional democracy and urging every most
Extensively partisan policy. His open hos
tility, however. is harmless compared to his
pretended friendship, caring nothing for
party or principles; he subordinaies every
public interest to his own aggrandzement
Should he again be elected the democratic
party of Massachusetts will be held responsi-
BILE for administrative acts and eccentricities
of the past and future, while no responsibility
attaches to us for the acts of Mr.. Robinson.
Such being our belief, we cannot hesitate to
declare that we intend to do all in our power
to secure the defeat of Gen. Butler, and We
urge all democrats to join with Us in such an
action.

distinction between different classes. The
report contained resolutions recommending
that the boards of managers of the mission
arv society be requested to appropriate as
large an amount as possible to the missions
of the church among the cOlored people. A
special committee on the Sewanee confer
ence had reported recommending the adop.
ton of a canon for the establishment of sep
arate missionary organs in different dioceses
under the direction OF the bishop. Rev. DIR.
Porter of South Carolina moved as substi-
tute report of the special committee.

eign missionary society.

The second Worlds Exposition in this
country will be held in New Orleans. The
attempts of New York and Boston in this
direction failed chiefly because it was felt
that expositions held in either of these
cities so soon after the Centennial would
be at the best but feeble limitations Of the
great Philadelphia Exposition of 1876.
In New Orleans, on the contrary, a
Worlds Fair will have necessarily dis
tinctive character of its own. 1t will be
held in tn, winter OF 1885. beginning
in December, a season of the year
when Northerners find New Orleans
most bospitable and delightful. The

the arts and industries of semi-tr0pical

industrial DEVELOPMENT not only Of the
Southern United States but of Mexico. the
West Indies, Central and South America,

nations. On the scheme contemplated
this New Orleans fair cannot fail, if prop
erly backed, to be great national event.
Northern enterprise should not fail to
