BEN BUTLER AB A DEMOCRA’ Considerable prominence ts baing given to the Democratic speech whieh Ben Butler delivered at Manoull Hall in Boston on Satur day evening, ‘Lhe managers of Gen. Mane cock’s campaign will commit a serious crror, however, If they shall nasist in tho clrenta- tion of this speech under the impression that it will contribute anything to tho’ adyance- ment of tholr party Interests, Ben Butler ly one of those men who never made Demo- eratle votes exeept when he was conspienons asa member of the Lopublican part; Butler's return to the Democratic party ts Uke that of certain animals, to. their vomit. Jt isan unpleasant spectacle. It recalls a career which has exhibited more selilsh In- difference to the interests of the various causes whieh Hutlor has professed to espouse than any othor in Amertenn history shieo Benedict Arnold’s tine, It was this same Butler who, more than any other ono man, brought on tho disruption of the Democratic party in 1800. ie was tho leader of tho renctlonists tn the Charleston Convention, and an uncom promising. opponent of Douglas and the Denoeratie Union princlpies whieh Douglas represented, Butler knew at -tho thie ho wag leading the fight against Douglas that ho was preparing the way for an irreparable breach tn his pnrty, and that nullliteation, secession, disunion, and war were the nat- ural sequences of the attitude he counseled and encouraged the Southern Democrits to take, But no sooner had the fruit of his effort blossomed forth than ho disavowed his responsiblity, and sought refuge under the prevalling and absorbing sentiment of the North, Ben Butler first did what he could to break up the Demoeratic party by his desertion and betrayal of the Nurthern con- servative wing; he then encouraged ‘seces- slon up to tho very verge of the War; finally, he turned upon und denounced the vets he had practleally inaugurated and fouglit the prinelples ho had advornted. If there ever wis n party career more trencherous than this, the record thereof has not come under our notice, If Ben Butler in person be obnoxious to Democrats xs 0 class,—and there fs abundant eviilence of that fact,—the speech he has just, delivered In Faneull Hall will scareoly com- mend him to their favor, It reads very much as though {t were again Butler's malicious purpose to bring haves and confusion into the Democratle camp nt a eritienl period. It contains more hard hits at Democratic tradl- tons and current Democratic practices than at Ropubliean weaknesses, and: an iopartial reader will discover & Mephistophelean pure pose to rake up the most offensive traits of the Demucratic party under the gulso of re- newed fraturnization, Ie advises his ad- ilrers aut followers to vote for Iaucovt, but in doing go‘he gives so many reasons for despising and distrusting the people who are belind Intneock that the advice seems to bo intended Inv Plekwickian sense, ‘Phere is certainly a basis for the suspicion that But- Jer’s present course iy designed to Injure tho Demoeratle party as much as hls personal Influence did when he was % member of tho party In 1800, A conspicuous Illustration of Butter’s avi- dent desire to handicap the Democrats ny be found in his arraignment of the Repub- Hean purty for what he calls the nbandon- ment of the negro, and lis eulogy of hls own Congressional career in urging legisln- tlon to “control tho outrages of bad men in the South, where tho passions and deep antipatiics engendered by the War rendered strong measures Imperative to restrain the use of iutinidation and force to provent a freo and full ballot.’ Why should Butler admit in what purports to bo a Democratic specch tha truthfulness and fores af the charges mado against the Democrats of the South, unless it were hls purpose to sirike thom a hard blow in tho guise of frlendshilp? More than this, why should ho base his departure from the Republiean - party specifically upon the pretext that tt has failed to’ adopt sufliclently energetic mens- ures for the suppression und punishment of political outrages al the South at the yery time that ho declares his new afiliation with tho party which ho adits has committed and still conmnits the outrages hie condemns ? ‘This is Butlerism puro and unadulterated, Ifo mnkes common eduse with the bulldozers and bullot-box stuffers of the South because, forsooth, ho hns quarreted forseltish reasons with the only party that opposes thon, _ So at Charteston Ii 1860 he made common ennso with tha Secessionists only n fow months Inter to denounce them, and fight thes on the buttlefietd whom he had encouraged at the ballot-box. Butler's references to Cen. Qurfield aro Ukewlse calculated to advance the Interests of tho Republican candidate rather than fi jure him, Perhaps they were intended to havo tlils effect. {ov apologizes for tho Creillt- Mobiller transactions and defends the salary: grab, and his only words of condemnation for Garlletd ave because the Intter denied all imptication in the one seandal, and refused to partake of the other, It has bean the per sistent effort of the Demucrata for many years to fasten the responsibility for these two scandals upon the Republican party, which, 08 a mutter of fact, developed the cournge und principle to repudiate, expose, and punish then.- And now cames Ben But- Jer, upon tho ovension of publicly renewing his allogianes to tho Democrats, with a de fense and justification of both revroaches: wpon the Amerlean Government, and with abuse of the Republican candidate only bo- cause the Jatter was Iinovent of any willful connection with elther, From Butler's point of view, Garfield is worthy of nothing but contempt beenuse ho did not avail hhuself of MMs Congresstonal position to share in Oakes Ames’ spolla, ant because le would not pocket the back-salary grav, as Butler did, in deflance of public protest, ‘There 1s no doubt that Butler actually entertains stich asontiment, but, when he makes Jt conspleu- ous In the first Democratie specch he has do- livered In twenty years, it Is manifestly his purpose to do the Democratte party the sume sort of injury he Intlicted upon it during his former membership, It 1s a characteristic speclmen of Butler's diabollsm in pplitics, Butler’s present partisan attitude is not strengthened by effusive declaration that: he “1s not and will not bea candidate for any office, cleetive or appalntiye, in this otec- thon or under the Incoming Adituistration.” ‘This may not prove to bo true; Butler's sny- ing so docs not mike it 80. But, if true, the fact is that Butler has practleally twiee teen the Democratic candidate for Governor ot Massachusetts; hence his disavowal of offtee-seoking ay nn influence upon his wtarn to the Demoeratis ranks ts of no force what- over, Butler takes no nction tn politics with- out aseliish motive, He las been for years 8 pollfical Ishmnolite. M13 new afilintion with tha Democrats begun with his lust for olllee which the Ropublleans would no longer evatlfy; itmay be continned In order to sit- isfy his matice, Dut his speech would tndl- ento that this mniico Is direeted against the Democrats as well ag the Republle "There will not be nearly so miueh rejoleing among tho Demoenits over Butler's speech ag there will be among the Republicans after its effect shall become apparent. ‘The Dem veratic feeling for Butler has been one of aversion for years, It was shown in tha Cineinnatl Convention, which refused to admit tho regular Demoeratle delegation from Massachusetts, representing tho bull of the party, diweansa Ht was sent thera hy tho Jutler faction, but gave one-half the sents to tho antl-Butler delegates, who did not repre- sent one-tenth of the Demucratie vote of the State, But Butler is ono of those curses-thiat come home to pinguo wieked peaple, and, the Demoerats inust geln and bear up under the Aniiietion.
