HAVING defended the action of Gov.
Butler in his Investigation Of the Tewks-
bury aims house, we are glad to see
good results, not only in Massachusetts,
but elsewhere, arising from the exhibit
of inhuman atrocities committed by
appointed, commissioned guardians of
the poor and helpless, upon these weak
ones they promised to care for and pro-
tect. Butler has been condemned, crit
icised. and ridicu,ed by his own state,
and by numerous newspapers, but he
has fearlessly done his duty, served
humanity, and won the emphatic pop
ular approval, while his opponents have
been wOrstei and silenced. The day is
past for Ostracising good actions because
the performer is Democrat; Butler is
as thoroughly endorsed by the people in
his good deeds wrought since governor
as he was when he enforced cleanliness,
and discipline upon Democrats in New
Orleans. It is supremacy silly and
wicked to withhold support from good
deeds done by some one against whom
there is prejudice. In working for
humanity there should be no prejudice,
and whoever works for the downfall of
petty tyrants, the displacement of mean
men, the revoking of inhuman customs
and the well being of the people, should
receive the unqualified support of every
newspaper and wsll-meaning person in
the land. Let Massachusetts, and every
other state learn better than to starve
her poor, then skin them and tan their
hides, to the lasting disgrace of clvili-
cation.
Gov. .PattlsOn, Of Pennsylvania, has
sent in go Yatnes and isn't through vet.
