beloved reader, heels over head into the filthy
pool of politics.:


EpIToR OF THE BUTTE RECORD, Sir All that
man can accomplish in the pursuit among difficult
ties of political purposes, is being wrought by
INSCRIPTIONS President In all Johnsons stump
speeches from E st to West, he did not define his
future policy. Like Semms, he cries out "save me,
I'm the Captain according to the English journ-
ais, Captain Semms yelped out to the Deerhounds
men. as the came to pick up the drowning crew of
the Alabama johnson, after cutting his mooring
loose from the Union ship, that had carried him
through a four year storm. cries ont save me- I'm
the Captain" And yet like Semms, the gallant
johnson, that topmost and brightest blossom the
tree Of American chivary, turns bis back on his
comrads, even on his wounded comrads, and cries
out save me. I'm the Captain"


Mr. Editor, there are two classes of men in the
North, who responded to Johnsons cries to be
saved. Enjoying the benefits and privileges accur
ing from a free and beneficent government, who by
their actions, during national troubles, and
since have stamped their names with infamy and
for all coming time. The first of these classes are
those who manifested willingness to aid in crushing
the Rebellion, which has sent suffering to thousands
of households, and has left and distress at
almost every cottage in the land, but who, if the
truth fully known, never had desire to crush
it, they stood by the Government in its hour of
peril only that they might crafty their own selfish
and unho.y desires-they took advantage of the
Countries misfortunes to amass wealth. This is
the class of men who first respond TO Johnsons
cries to be saved from the Indignation of betray-
ed and outraged constituency. This is the class Of
men who are to fill all the offices within the gift
of the President, and who compose the head and
front of the Bread and Butter brigade. The second
of these classes who respond TO Johnson's cries
to be saved, are those whose sympathies have been
wholly with the Rebels ever since they dared to
fire upon our flags, emblem of our liberty, emblem
of our homes, and the emblem of our nationality
and who have not been backward at all in aiding
them in their vile attempts to destroy the best
form Of Government upon the whole face of Gods
earth. Cowards and traitors are most fitting ap
pellations, which we can apply to this class of men,
their actions is evidence of their traitorus inten-
tons These the men who opposed and con-
demned all measures, were they constitutional or
constitutional which were adopted by the national
Government for the suppression of most wicked
and causleSs rebellion who scented at every victory
achieved by our gallant Army, and who scornfully
sneered at every demonstration Of patriotism made
by those who love right. liberty and justice, and
in the defence of which they willing 10 sacri-
fee their lives and their fortunes. This is the class
Of men, accordingly to the johnson programme,
that are to reconstruct the Southern States. The
bloody tragedy enacted in the city of Memphis and
New Orleans is only the beginging of the end. 1t
illustrates the Johnson policy. that is TO be. These
classes Of men are unworthy 10 be called Aneri
can citizens: it makes Us blush for human nature
when we reject that such men as these are to fill
high Offices Of trust. The struggle is TO regain
power and influence which they had lost during
years of mismanagement and sympathy with trea-
son and which they hope TO regain through the aid
of johnson. A lawless and corrupt President, is
quite as bad as lawless and corrupt King. and
equally 4 foe to liberties Constitution and laws,
