BOLD
Tiio tlafe.it of General Batler in
tko Massachusetts Erpnblican State
Conventiou was so inevitable tli.it
ha, with ranch wisdom, withdrew
Lid n imt- and abandoned lii-s straggle
for tbxs Gubernatorial nomination.
For one, we regret Lis defeat. We
call to uiiud no man w'aj La.s ex
pcrieaced mora of mean, enmauiy
abase than hs. Ia every public
position which he has held his per
formaneea have ben done ia the
oaea light of day, and Iw has never
once shrank from declaring hiaiself.
lien who tbns boldlv do what falls
to their lot t.J perform are always
more or less at the mercy of stub
stealth? and watchful foes as choose
to lark in their path. Batler has
oiienly and always defied and cou-
lcmard the sleek, pretentions, jguo
Lie hypocrietes by which he has
been snrronnded since he first set
bis resolute fae against the Phari
see and fashionable moralists of
Massachasetts. As the French say.
there are Yantees and Yankees.
The old Biy State, with all her
wealth of manliness, nurtures too
lunch of the mannerism of severe
morality, and still allows it to pass
at a current value far above its real
worth. Hitler emphasizes and cham
pion the not always resiiectfnl op
position to thia rigorons and chill
ing decurnra, and does so even
while conscious of flying in the face
of the haughty Pnritan aristocracy ;
offending the sleek and acquiescent
snobbery, its servile imitators ; and
making blind enemies of the weak
and watery Respectables who bring
lip the rear and constitute the obse
quious constituency of these leaders
-f the moral fashions. There is a
numerous .T8 clfl8S hose a,1mi
rabfe characteristics 'ieaalize lrn"
ortb and manful beauty, as . 1
also illustrate the constant possi
bility of a happy medium between
this arrogant Phariseeisni and its
Lrash and boisterous opposite as
presented ia Butler's somewhat
swaggering persoualism. These
Lave rather chosen to join forces
with Butler than to be found in a
tamp wkere tie observance of the
prescribed hypocrisy mt the times is
the discipline exactetl. v neu we
only choice is between a profane but
frank and unpretentious rebel against
these ignoble and offensive proprie
ties, and the representative sticklers
for the same, people who are at outs
with pusillanimity and pretense find
themselves ranged on the side of the
former. This is the reason why
Butler has been enabled to make so
strong a fight, single-handed, against
alt the long established moral bul
lies of the Commonwealth.
But we cannot comprehend the
TeaJiness and avidity with which
Republicans whose aspirations and
interest bear no relation to Butler's
person:d enemies espress a synipa
thv with thedefamcrs and malignant
villiG.-rs who have "camped upon
his trail" evtr since he repudiated
the Htinker Democracy to take np
lis sword in defense of tho Union.
The leginning of this thuse bears
date contec!poracaoa:dy with theoc
enpaiion of Baltimore and his dis
com5taro of the rebels and rebel
sympathizers there; tho rolunie of
this Titnperatioa gathered additional
strength when he, at Great Bethel,
proclaimed property in slaves to be
contraband of war from which time
runaway slaves who bronght infor
mation into our' iines were styled
-iutelligent contraband and it
culminated ia a perfect torrent of
epithets and rebel Billingsgate when,
by one all-effective order he com
pelled tho women of New Orleans to
cease spitting upon the boys in bine.
Batler captured and held subject,
and subsequently turned over to the
government, great quantities of
rebel property and money. The
Rebels and their Kortl era allies
then took to calling Butler a spoon
thief ; and even professed Republi
cans have been fsnnd mean enough
to echo the cry. When New York
T"a3 eurcing with the mob whose
worst passions and fiercest audacity
Iloratio Seymour's insidious appeals
had invoked, and when an iron hand
was needed to clutch the foul Genius
of Riot by tha throat, it was by re
quest of President Lincoln, who
aeted in the ititarest of the best citi
zens of the metropolis, that General
Bntier became, temporarily, the
military Governor of New York
It was for his prompt end effectual
suppression of the mob then that
there ctme a fresh batch cf epithets
for cnthinkiug Republicans to re
peat. Mark how he dared to Cins
defiance ia the face of that mob,
We qu.-te from one cf his speeches
of the time indicated. Standing
face to face with the ornelest and
most dangerous mob ia America he
said : "Do yon suppose, then, that I
will flinch before you ? A man who
has smelt gunpowder, can stand mm
and garlic. Langhter, cheers,
groans and confusion. J Yon think
yourselves the equal of the negro !
No, no ; the negro is as imuie.isur
ably yonr superior as heaven is above
the hell where you are coine. I
certainly do not respect, and yon
may be quite sure I dv not fear yen.
You can not crush free thonght or
free speech. Hooting will never
take the place of argument. And
now, men of the Five Points, bullies
of the bawdy-house, thieves of tho
lobby., burglars of the Tombs ! I
simply declare, as the voice of the
nation, that yon are not fit for the
exercise of the elective franchise."
It is forasmuch as this man had and
displayed this large and timely hero
ism that be is entitled to a fairer and
more kindly treatment by all who
ore not to be classed with the Phari
sees of society or the unforgiving
and embittered adherents to, and
sympathisers with, the Lost Cause
of Southern Secession.

The following letter, written bj

brother of the Rev. Zephaniah M. Hum
phrey, pastor of the Cavalry Church of
Philadelphia, has lately been made
public :

The Ren. Luther Humphrey Hi Dee
Fsiend: Yonr kind letter o! the lath mst.
is now before rue. So far as my knowl
edge goes as to our mutual kindred. I
suppose I am the first since the lauding
of Peter Browu from the M-syrlower that
has either been sentenced to imprison
ment or to the gallows. But. uiy dear
old frieud, let not that fact alone grieve
yon. You cannot have forgotten how
and where our gruadfather (Captain
John Brown) fell in 1776, and that he,
too, might hYe perished ou the scaffold
had circumstances been but very iittle
different. The fact that a man uies un
der the haudff an executioner (or other
wise) has but little to do with his true
character, as 1 snppose John Rogers per
ished Jit the ttaku, a great aud good man,
as I suppose; but h:s being so does not
prove thai any other ia in who has died
iu the euiua way was &o.d or otlierriae.
Whether 1 have a::y raoa to "be cf
good cheer" (or totj in' view of my end,
1 can assure yon that I feet so; and that
I am totally tliaded if I do not really
experience that strengthening and conoo
Ittion you i-o fiiitklully implore ia my
hehalf. God of our fathers, reward your
fidelity! I neither feel mortified, degra
ded, nor ia tha hast ashamed of my im
prisonment, lay chain, cr lay near pros
pect of death by haniag. 1 feel asuored
"that net 033 htir shall fall from my
head without my heavenly Father." 1
also feel that I have loog been endeavor
ing to hold exactly suuh a past as God
has chosen." See the passage of Isaiah
which yoa hare quoted. No part of my
life has been more hapily spent than
that I have spent here, and I humbly
trust that no part has been spent to bel
ter purpose. I would not say this boast
ingly, but ''thanks be unto God who
giveth us the victory through infinite
grace. " I should be sixty years old were
I to live till Mar 9. lfc&J. I have en
joyed much of life as it is, and have been
remarkaDiy prosperous uaving earij
!e true 1 to Mgard the welfare and pros
perity of others as my own. I havs
sever, sines I can remember, required a
oreai amount of sleen. so that I conclude
that I hate already enjoyed fall an aver
age number cf waking hours with those
who reach their "three-score years and
ten." I have not ns yet been driven to
the use of glasses, but ran still see to
read and write quite comfortably. But
more than that, I have generally en
joyed remarkably good health. I
might go on to recount unnumbered and
uumerited blessings, among which there
would be some very se vere afflictions.
and those the most needed blessings of
all. And now, when I think bow easily
I might be left to spoil all I have done
or suizered in tee cause of 'freedom, 1
hardlv dare risk another vovatje, if I
even bad the opportunity. It is a loc
iime since we met, but we shall no-.v
soon corae together in onr " Father's
house," I trust. " Let ns hold fast that
we already have, remembriDg that we
shall reap, in due time, if we fuint not."
Thanks be ever unto God, who giveth
ns the victory, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. And now, my old, warm-hearted
friend, "good-by!" Yonr nffVctionate
cousin, John Bbown
Bbo. JohnH. Denxis of tha Kevcll'e
publishes his valedictory in the issne of
that paper for Sept. 9. He has sold ont
Lis interest in that paper to our worthy
friend John Booth. The Iievel't has
always been a favorite exchange of ours,
and has been made mcr9 especially so
since Sir. Dennis sharp, original pen
began to add new spice and vigor to its
columns. Our sentiments on this occa
sion are, therefore, divided Ixtween a
congratulatory feeling toward Booth and
Casamayou for their fortunate coming
together, pad regret that Bro. Dennis
has seen fit to abandon the tripod.
Anachronisms. Shakespeare is
full of anachronisms of literature and
art. In the "Couiedv of t.rrora be
alludes to ducats, marks and guilders.
and also to the striking of a clock in
the ancient city of Epbesus. In
Kins John" and "Macbeth" he
s;eaks of caunon. He makes Corio-
lanus a cotemr:ora.rv with Alexander
the great Cato, and ualen.ail of whom
lived cent uries afterwards. Cassius in
Julics Cajsar,"al80 speaks of aclock
striking the hour. Beaumont and
Fletcher make a man discharge a pis
tol, who must have lived before the
Christian era. 1 be painters do not
behave much better. In one of Albert
Dnrer's pictures representing Peter
denying the Savior, there is a Roman
soldier in the background smoking a
tobacco piue. A Dutch painter, in
the D&intineof the "Sacrifices of Isa
ac, makes Abraham point a blunder
bnss at his son's head as an argument
of obedience. Tintoreti paints the
Israelites gathering manna in the
ilderness ascarryinggnns. Another
master in a picture of Adam ana c.ve,
places a German student in the back
ground shooting ducks.

ExcrrrNO Rcmob. About half past
four o'clock yesterday afternoon a
rumor flew through the streets to the
effect that a right had taken place in
the County Jail between two of the
prisoners Harrington, convicted of
murder in the second degree, and
Howard, under sentence for man
slaughter. It was also said that How
ard, Lad broken Harrington's back.
Thsre was no truth in the story. In
