General Butler Made President.
- General butler was unanimously elected Pre
eiden: of the Convention, and his appearance
cn .ne platform was greeted with enthusiastic
chetr , u large portion ot the audience risitur
and waving their hats. His most radical utter
ances wove tne most cordially applauded. Atter
the ciieeis which greeted him subsided, General
Lutler said:
Speech of Geuernl Ilntler.
Gentlemen ot the Convention: Let us first of
all mingle our congratulations tor the triumph
ant success of the great Republican party,
whose representatives in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts we are. Organized on its present
basis in lSiti, that party nearly carried the
country on the single ismuc of restraining slavery
within the States where it decided its constitu
tional limits were fixed. More successful In
lhtiO, according to the tonus and in the manner
of the. Constitution, It elected the President and
assumed the administration of the Government.
With no pretext) save thi, seven states of the
Union, mirier tiio lead of South Carolina, under
took, by the most solemn forms of municipal
enactment, to vindicate her lavonte political
dogiua of the superiority of State to Federal
alleeiauco under the Constitution, and to estab
lish slavery, which w as but a tolerated incident
in the tianie of the Government erected by our
fathers a: the corner-stone of au empire.
The teuchings in the South of a generation
culminated in this enterprise.- Relying on the
peaceful prospenty of the North, in unwilling
ness lor strne, on the law-loving and obeying
hpirit of Its people, which, was inistikeu for
SUHilauitnii) , the bold, bad leaders of the Rc
ellioa thought losueceed by au appeal to arms.
Putting fnitli in anticipated co operation on the
part oi inose who hud formerly acted with them
under the Constitution, to sustain them in their
reu ud i hi ion of the Constitution, they begau a
most cutmeless war. Thi insane uct drove every
true patriot who had intelligently watched the
progress of events to take sides with tne Govern
ment in the pending annual strncrttle, and thus
the Republican part.), which had suffered in the
estimation of many men, because it appeared to
be a sectional patty, became the great National
Union party oi the country. Relieved by the
inexorable logic of events from any constitu
tional ODligations to sustain slavery, to establish
which was the cause and object of the
war on the part of the insurgents, the
Republican party, widening the platform
of lis principles according to the hu
mane Ideas ot it' inception, adopted universal
ireedom, universal equality, and universal jus
tice as the fundamental articles of its creed.
The first, ireedom for all. was established by an
act of the war making power; the last, equality
ot rights and equal justice, are still in contest.
When the last Rebel surrendered to the victo
rious armies of the United States; when Lin
coln, whose pen signed the immortal Declara
tion of Emancipation, had laid down his lite a
sacrifice for its maintenance; when hundreds of
thousands of brave men had fallen in the con
test; when thousands upon thousands of the
same men had most miserably perished in the
murder-pens of Rclle Isle, Salisbury, and Ander
sonville, in tortuies only equalled by those suf
fered by the early Cnnstiau martyrs, that
liberty and lust laws might be established
throughout tne land, the nation might well
h ave hoped that there should be no foot of Ameri-
can soil where an Americiiu citizen, of
whatever lank or complexion, peacefully
advocating whatever proposition, moral, reli
gious, or political, should not be tree so to do,
and be protected fully in that right. Surely a
sufficient price bad been paid that we might
bequeatn siicd auovermueni to our cniiciren
that inheritance which we received irotn our
lathers, but have heretofore allowed to be tar
nished in the Southern States. With the mili
tary power of the South subdued, its soldiers
captured, its citizens suo.-tantially paroled pri
soners of war, their municipal organizations
broken up, their pre'ended Government over
thrown, their leader in chains, and last indi
vidual citizen (with a few glorious exceptions)
havinz forfeited every rlirht under the Constitu
tion which be had repudiated and endeavored to
overthrow, it only required that the Union party
of the country should have agreed in all the
branches ot Government wh'ch it represented,
to have Imprinted upon the country those
principles of liberty, equality, and justice it
had so fully declared, so that such impress
' should have remained forever. Unfortunately,
the head of the Administration, tne Chief Ex
ecutive of the nation, was not found equal to
the occasion; or if. indeed, as bii declarations at
one time seemed to show, his intellect divined
the true course, there Picked some quality in his
organization which prevented his grasping the
sublime surnlticitDce of the pcli'ical position ot
the country, as the great missionary nation in
the regeneration of the governmental institu
tions of the world. Occupying himself with
details when he should have dealt with generals,
studying politics when lie. should have been act
ing statesmanship, busving himself with cle
mency to individual Rebel supplicants while he
was unjust to the loyal heart of the country,
seeking to repair the editiee ot the Government by
petty expedients, Instead of laviag the founda
tions of its reconstruction deep in the broad prin
ciples of the party which elected him, recogniz
ing tbe necessity ot some security for the future,
instead ot :uintiug upon these fundamental ele
mentary rights and truths as conditions preee
drnt to the return of Rebels to a shar in tim
Government, he proposed the mere incidents of
the situatiou as suuicietit guarantees. Requiring
only that tLev should airree to the abolition ot
slavery, w hich the wager of battle had rendered
complete and eternal, to the abandonment of
the ordinances ot beeession, wmen had been
nullified amid the roar ot cauuon and the clash
ot arms, the President allowed States to re
organize themselves upon euch basis, to put for
ward claims to a portion or the uovernmeut of
toe country, while their convention which dii
so would not it under the lolds of the nag to
which thev had reuewed a perjured allegiance.
Assuming in himself a sufficiency of wisdom
alone to meet a national crisis greater
tban ever tasked the intellect of mortal
man, he reflected, therefore, to call to his aid
the other dermrininntsot the Government elected
by the same party and tbe same votes which
bad put htm in the position from which a
wicked accident elevated him to power, and
thus raised from the dust every humbled, con
riuered Rebel, and converted him into a bluster-
iuK.blaU.nt claimant for rithta which he bad
forfeited, and to powers eresier than had ever
m i iiuhw 'o nis viate or s'-otion. woeu, there'
worse than lost In fostering the solrit ot rebel
lion, which bad succumbed to our victorious
arms, the loyal Representatives of the nation
were told that the said ordinance of secession
having been tepealed, and the amendment
abolUhine slavery having been adopted, with
out further acts or conditions these same
Rebels who had fought to obtain power outside
tbe Union had a right to resume political
power inside the Union, increased by
the representation of two-fifths of their
emancipated population. Because, while
the cetrioes were slaves and had no votes,
their masters were allowed to pay taxes for
an 0 to represent three-fifths of them only, and
now that their slaves have become freemen,
although deprived of their votes because of laws
made lor slaves, still it is claimed their masters
shall represent five-fifths Instead of three-fifths
of them, while the negroes mut pay all the
taxes assessed upon themselves, so that if this
wrong obiains, the Rebellion will have acquired
for its traitors exemption from three-tiiths of
their taxation, and an increase of two-fifths of
their representation the exact reverse of the
old political traxim, "So taxation without re
presentation," this being representation without
taxation. This shocking injustice thus initiated
by the President struck the country with sur
prise, not less than it did the kindred claim that
it was for the Executive to determine under what
guarantee and under what conditions States were
to resume their lorieitcd governmental relations
in tne Union. , ,
The great Union party, t'irougn their repre
sentatives in the Ilouso and Senate, with
a unanimity unparalleled, especially -as the
Executive, at tbe beginning of his term ot office,
attempted the disruption ot his party by the
blandish m cuts of power and the seduction of
place, mfiintained thai it was for Congress, as
the Legislative body comprising three branches,
to determine uKn what terms and at what time
rebellious Slates, conquered provinces territory
of the United States occupied by disloyal in
habitants, their State organization lost or abro
gated, should be allowed to reorganize them
selves and come back as partot the Government,
and that other guarantees of fitness to exercise
political power must be giveu than asking pir
dons to obtain property or the taking unwilling
oaths by reiuetant perjured lips. After a
careful examination of the whole subject
by witnesses drawn from every portion
of the country, Congress determined
that the inbabi i iits ot these revolted States
were not lu such condition of loyal tecliug mid
lenity to the Government and love tor its insti
tutions as to entitle them to stnd representa
tives to make laws tor the loyal portion of the
country, until they had given guarantees for
good behavior in the future aud shown them
selves willing to adopt the principles of equality
ol personal rights in all citizens of the United
States, and their annonence ot secession anl all
its incidents by adopting certain Constitutional
amendments Tendered necessary m consequence
of tic Rebellion, to wit: That the debt incurred
in suppressing the Rebellion should never be
repudiated; that debts incurred in the Rebellion
should never be paid; that equal personal tights
should be guaranteed to every citizen of the
United States in every S ate, and equal protec
tion under the laws; nnd tuar, so long us any
class ot men in the States were prohibited troih
the exercise ol their political rights as eitizens,
they should not be counted m the quota of
representation. To most of us may 1
not say all of us? these terms seemed too
easy, too mild, too lenient. (Applause.)
It ecemed to us thnr, Congress did not
go far enough in Imbedding in the very founda
tions of the Government the true idea of Ameri
can liberty the great result of the war to all
men justice, and equal uv of political and per
sonal rights. We were willing, however, it the
proposition of Congress ha 1 tieen met in a spirit
of love and kindiiess, or even cordial aequl
tecence, by the South, to have restored them
again to the seats they bad profaned and de
serted, and to a lair satire of the power which
they had abused, and the right to which thev
had forfeited. (Applause.) But Richmond,
Memphis, Savannah, uud New Orleans, by their
journals, their riois and the massacre of "Union
men, tell us that we have nothing to
hope from the love ot country, the
patriotism, the loyalty, the fraternal teelme
ol the South. The President, cutting loose from
those who stood by him in his darkest hours,
has called together in convention at Philadel
phia the representatives of those who fought
against the Union in the South and the delegates
of those who were alraid to tight for it in the
North (cheers and laughter), and at the head ot
a personal party so formed, proposes by this
union ol every enemy ot the country, aided by
their sympathize! s North and South, to force
the rebellious States into positions as a ruling
rower of the Government, without any indem
nity lor tbe past or security for the future. To
thi, then, the lsue is at once narrowed. Shill
thof-e who have betrayed the country, and tried
destroy it by torce and by fraud, control its
destinies in its otherwise glorious future 1 Shall
nil the fruits of the war now be thrown away,
and all good lost at tbe call of personal ambi
tion and wilfulness? I have said that we had
cause to congratulate ourselves as a
political organization, one that has carried
the country ttrough this awful war against its
enemies abroad and at home, which no w stands
concentrated and powerful to uphold the prin
ciples of its organization, to make them the law
ot tne land, notwithstanding treachery is in our
ranks, and the union ot all our opponents and
the opponents ot tne country to overthrow us.
Without fear, without hesitation, without doubt,
we will meet the issue between eternal riebt
and unmeasured wrong. Certain that in tne
end, whatever trouble, dartness, or difficulty
may compass us, our principles, if we are true
to them, must triumph. We cannot go wrong.
There is no such thine as missing one's path on
a straight road. (Cheers.) We spurn the
dogma that this is a white-laced man s Govern
ment. (Cheer3.) We are now to look to tbe
heart for color not the face. (Cheers) We
insist that this is the loyal mau's Government,
whether he be white or black. We look to the
color of the heart and not to that of the face to
determine our political friends or enemies. (Re
newed cheers.) we hold an men wno roucrnt

The Convention then proceeded to nomina
tions. Each of the present State officers, from
the Governor down, were successively renomi
nated unanimously by acclamation.
The Addrcsa and Resolutions.
The Address says:
"We beheld the strange spectacle of the Pre
sident of the United States deliberately placing
himsell at the head of a combination of half
reconstructed Rebels and their deleated North
ern allies, going about the country, accompanied
dy a ponion oi his cabinet, and denouncing the
legislative branch ot the Government as an
iheeal and traitorous body hanging upon tbe
veme of the Government, which Government
he f.lone proposes to be, and avowing pnnciples
and purposes the logical results of which must
he a violent attempt to subvert Congress, or nt
the very least a repudiation of all its legislation
sine" tbe war broke out. We cannot be insensi
ble ibat until the term of this dangerous man
shall ex Dire, all the financial and business inte
rests ol the country will be subject to disturb
ance; all the legislation of Congress is liable to
overthrow, cr a det:ial ol'its validity; the Amend
ment of the Constitution prohibiting slavery is
of precarious and doubtful permanence, and
there is most imminent danger ot losing every
thing which we won by successful war on find
anrt sea."
The Address then declares: 1st. That Con
gress ought not only to be sustained, but
strengthened at the coming elections through
out ihe country. 2d. That ihe country has al
ready sutleiea enough iroiu tbe presence of
tiniuirs in the capital, and the ereatest caution
aga nst tne entrance of oislo.yal conspirators or
hall-ieconstiucted lmioui!-ts ought to be exer
cised, and no States or communities ought to be
rtri ii-sented in the Senate or House uaicss evi
dent e is given satuiactory to the Representa
tivt s and people of the North and the loval
people of the South that such states or commu
nities, as well ns the men chosen to represent
tbeiii, are loyal nnd likely to remain so. .'id.
That, so long as ihere exists a party domi
nant in some of the State? and deiinnt in
ail, which hcjes by Presidential aid to
brcttk down the Congre-isional control
over the question of reconstruction, and
reinstate in their seats the representatives
of ueason and rebellion, the people have no
sccinity except in their own continued vigilance
against a disastrous reaction whici may put
taeK the cause of proeress many years and dis
grace the conntrv in the eyes of the civilized
world Y nirth. Tht we desire the restoration
ot all the States to the Union under conditions
of justice ana liberty: we approve the amend
ment, to the Consti.ution proposed by Congress
aufl now pendire before tlxe States, and that we
are fully pretwed to believe the declaration ot
the Southern Unionists made at Philadelphia,
that there can be no safety to the country uutil
the national birtnnght of impartial suffrage
and equality before the law be conferred upon
every citizen of the States they represent.
The principles and traditions - ot the Com
monwealth impel her to second this demand
so solemnly made tor thn complete, enfranchise
ment of a loug-oppresscd race, and the estab
lishment of an American and democratic policy
of government. Finally, fellow-citizens, we
recognize the fact that all questions of recon
struction, of suffrutp, of protection to the freed
tuen, of security to the persecuted Unionists of
the South, resolve themselves into these:
Shall the people who saved the country still
control it? Shall the soldiers of the Union
whose bravery decided on the field the fate of
the war, and whose services will be held in ever
lasting remembrance, reap the rich results of
their labors in a regenerated country? In the
words of an eminent Tenuessee ljyalist, now
the guest ot the people or Massachusetts, Shall
ivc ieconstruct the Rebels, or shall they recon
struct USf"
The Audress whs unanimously adopted.
Governor Hamilton Introduced.
Governor Hamilton was next introduced, and
was received with three rousins cheers. When
he described the course of thi President as not
a policy to build up the nation, but a plot to
destroy the party that saved it; when he asserted
that Congress alone had the power to determiue
the mode and manner ot reconstruction; taat
while no State nas a legal or moral richt to
secede, yet in fact it may ny force secede, and
tuerebv 6uojeci ltseu. alter eonciuest. tomihtnrv
law and usages atone; that the Rebel States
having done so are not now vital common
weulihs, and never will be until reanimated by
Congress: that wh'le by seceding in tact they
lost all their own rights, and the national Gov
ernment lost none ot its richts; when he anni
hilated, with indignant sarcasm, the soDhistrv
oi those who argue that becnuse the Rebels had
no right to secede, they never did secede, and
luejemre vuut nenuer pui ly nave either gained
or lost any rights; when he declared that the
ueiM-u should De treated as public conquered
enemies: when he sooke respectfully ortiio lnml
black man, who never lifted hand or heart
acanist the Union; when ha said that the Presi
dent had no rieht to have anv policy in opposi
tion to tbe will of the people, that the Rebels
had taken the oath and they would keep it from
the teeth outward; the cheers and annliuse
which greeted him showed that old Massachu
setts said amen to young Texas. Ilissneech
wus long and able, but tne audience
was too friendly to call forth his full
powers. Neither Border States nor North
ern politicians badgered him into the elo
quence here with which he thrillot Philadel
phia. ITe said that In Texas a thousand freed-
men naa Deen muroerea within a year, and yet
not a man had been punished for it. When
Hamilton described a disgraceful se.eiiA in whleh
our ilag was insulted in Texas, and our oflicers
uiu not inieriere, ana said, " Would that your
woiihy Chairman had been there," the audience
rose and cheered again and again in a manner
whit b decides the certainty ot Butler's return
to t oneress by a great popular majority. His
declarations in tavor of lnioartial suiirae were
received with cries of "good" and applaui". He
wus loudly cheered on resuming his seat .
Speech of Wendell Phillips.
Fellow-citizens: There is no need or place

A suit was brought in the Augusta (Ga.)
City Court, ot the last term, to recover the
amount of a policy of lite insurance granted by
the Southern Mutual Life Insurance Company
of South Carolina to a resident of that city,
who was forced into the military service, and
while in that service died. It will be remem
bered that the insurance company demurred
paying on the ground that there was embodied
in the policy of insurance a provision that the
insured should not enter the military service.
On the other hand, the representatives of the
deceased claim that he did not violate the com
pact of Us own accord, hence the company
should pay the amount. Judge Snead has an
nounced his decision, 'and sustains the company
in their demurrer. The case will be carried up
to the Superior Court.
