ADDRESS BEFORE THE LITERARY So
CIETIES.
On Tuesday night one of the largest
audiences of the week greeted Senator
NJ. G. Butler. who was TO deliver the
address before the literary societies.
Upon the rostrutn sat number OF
distinguished gentlemen.
Senator Butler was introduced by J.
Y. Culbreath, Esq, of the Newberry
Bar, who in presenting him spoke as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The pleas
ant duty has been assigned to me on
the part of the faculty and students of
the Newberry College TO Introduce to
this audience one to address the litera-
ry societies of Newberry College that
needs no introduction, or rather no in
troductory remarks OH my part. His
distinguished services just as he en-
tered upon the stage of manhood in
our recent late unfortunate war, the
eminent ability displayed by him in
shaping Federal legislation since he
has been member Of the United
States Senate, and above all the mas
terly manner IN which he has vindi-
Gated the rights of his constituents Oh
the floor of the United States Senate
where they needed vindication zap
plauseO are facts that are known to the
people of South Carolina and belong to
the history of this government. Jap
plause)
Sprung from an illustrious line of an
cestors whose public eminent services
date back to the commencement of
the revolutionary war in 1776, it has
been the remark of the people OF South
Carolina that each generation of his
family since that time has furnished
the State a distinguished leader of the
people; and my distinguished friend
will pardon me in saying that none of
his distinguished predecessors has ex-
ceiled him in ability and true devotion
to the Interests of his people (applause).
l now take great pleasure in intro
3ucing to this audience the Hon. NJ.
{. Butler. (applause)
AS Senator Butler stepped to the
front of the rostrum he was greeted
with applause. AS Introductory to his
address proper and as somewhat eX-
planatory be said:
Young Gentlemen Of the Literary
Societies: When you did me the honor
to invite me some months ago to de-
liver the address to night to the two
societies of Newberry College PROM
ised myself that | would select sub
ject different from the one upon which
[ now propose to speak. l mean to be
perfectly frank with you and do not
propose to appear under false colors.
L am afraid that the subject l have
selected will not be interesting to the
ladies, for upon occasions lie these
the speaker is expected to select some
subject of a purely literary character.
must, however, ask the ladies of New
berry to bear with me and remember
that the last six months of my time
up to the 4th March, might say
"1r the last twelve months-has been
50 engroseed by questions relating to
my official duties that | really have
not had the time to prepare myself Oh
the subject had chosen.
| am also afraid that | am in the
position that Gov. Vance found him.
self in one occasion in North Carolina.
He had prepared u speech for one of
his brilliant campaigns that be in
tended to deliver to every audience,
but some enterprising gentleman of the
newspaper fraternity got the drop Oh
him." took his speech down in full and
it was published before he met his
and he found himself
confronted by his speech in the news
paper.
Now ! delivered this same speech
last night at Greenville and although
it mas not appeared in full am some
what in the position OF Gov. Vance,
but make this statement in Difference
to you gentlemen who have done ME
the honor to invite me to address you.
His speech was forcibly spoken from
and was niaiuly directed
in presenting the rights of the minor
ity in a popular government like ours.
He said that some of the fallacies
lately promulgated by public men
ought to be exposed. The doctrine of
the govern ut Of the United States is
that the majority ought to rule. He
