Butler and the Greenback Nomination.
Boston, October 16th.-Governor Butler
has written letter accepting the nouina-
ton for Governor of the National Greenback
Labor party Of Massachusetts,. Their action,
he says, sffords him much pleasure as mark
Of their appreciation of his labors in behalf
Of the Greenback party and the lsboring
man. The greenback, he says. has become
absolutely the currency of the United States
in the several different forms in which the
Government issues its money. Every silver
and gold certificate and every postal note is
greenback; that is, paper currency
based on a guarantee of the nations
good faith. If all the gold and silver use
lessly piled up in the Treasury were taken
away, still the notes of the United States
will he Just as good. Upon that question the
Greenbaekers have won their fight, after a
long and severe struggle, commencing in
obloquy and ending in victory. He attempt
ed, he says, in what he wrote to the officers
Of the Convention of the Greenback party
last year, to pay this compliment. But
tags of the language il which
it was couched, to twist it
to their nefsrious purposes. He trusts he has
now made plain what he meant. The party
still has a higher and nobler mission before it
Of establishing relations between labor and
capital, which shall be Just and profitable to
both, and of restraining lawful monopolies,
such as the transportation of freight and
passengers with 1.-THE purposes for which
they received the sanction of law. Organizs-
tions under the forms of law which give any
undue advantage by which the rich are made
richer, and the poor poorer, ought to be
strongly dealt with. A few years ago our
and our public debt were such con-
trivsnces. Let US abolish all other contriv-
ances, such as watering stocks, bogus mort
cages on railroads, and fictitious valuation of
the property of incorporated companies, by
which money without proper equivalent for
it is taken from one and given to another.
We sre not enemies of honest capital-we are
ts true friends because, if capital suffers
itself to become the oppressor of an educated,
intelligent and free people, such oppressor
will be surely swept away, and who shall say
hat in such case it ought not to be?
