BUTLER's PROGRAMME.

In his speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston, on
last Friday night, General Butler specifically
admitted that which has hitherto been
charged was correct, 1. G., that he did net
expect to be elected, but that the real OBJ
ject Of his campaign was TO SOW the seed for
a new party. Following are his words:
at makes no difference who lie elected, II
the people get their rights. Ifyou stand by
me, may not be elected, but the people will
win. am aauerulous old man, and tell
all know. will tell you what my propo-
sition Is. II IL to found new party Of the
people; TO SOW the seed now which will fruc-
tify and produce fruit hereafter. Whoever
votes for me can't throw bis vote away, for
II may soon pass away, the peoples cause
will never pass away, and another better,
stronger man than will take up what
have laid down. God will raise up some
man strong enough, bold enough, and ener-
getic enough TO meet the occasion which
should call him forward"
This was some time since rumored to be
the purpose and 1t was alleged Dana, Of the
Sun, had an understanding with Butler 40 TO
his purpose. We regard It not improbable
that, II defeated In this National campaign,
the Democratic party will not again make
another, but Its components attach them
selves 70 some new organization under an
other name. Buffers party is Is likely As
any other to be the nucleus to which
they will gravitste. For twenty four
years the Democratic party has been simply
one Of obstruction, and while 1t time Is vexa-
tious In its hindrances, 1t has answered
the always desirable political purpose Of eI-
isting % strong minority balance wheel to
steady the action Of the majority party. But,
without the vitality Of aggressive principles,
NOISY and Of Indigestion, II has only been
. party Of inert opposition that does not com
mend itself to the younger blood Of the
country ambitious for power and public life,
Or to those who would grappls firmly live
and momentous issues. Butler is q thor
oughbred demagogue, but he has the sagaci-
ty TO see popular line Of approach to the
Republican citadel, and Is, ~ he says, sow-
Ing seed that may grow dangerous harvests.
His ssphIstries upset the popuiace Of even
steady old Massachusetts for time, but the
quick and Intelligent conscience Of that great
commonwealth reused itself and repudiated
his false teachings, and now he has sought
broader field and 10 ready TO adopt the dis
heartened Democracy when they shall hail
him chief and bis teachings as gospel. This
10 undoubtedly the object he has In view In
making this revelation, and the simple
minded ssquerulousness" Of the sold man"
lie merely manufactured noonshine. He
never says anything be does not want TO, nor
tells more than he wishes known. The law
yer whose professional income 10 100000
per annum does not biab secrets. The
wooily innocence Of his words dos not con.
ceal the foxy craftiness beneath, but be
deems II timely and opportune TO notify the
that Buffers Saints Rest IL about to
open for business and that after November
4lh his siren scng TO Democrats viii be
"Ceme ye disconsolate." He does not de
Sire Democratic success this campaign. 10
ID part OF his programme that the Republic
can party shail remain In power and the
Democratic party dissolve. Then, sthe old
man. who was gagged out OF the National |
Convention, instead Of being . powerless
lieutenant In party be despises, expects to |
