A DEMOCRAT SPEAKS!
SPEECU OF MAJOR GEN, BUTLER
One of the largest mass meeting of
the people ever known to bare assem
bled in Chester county, was held at
Oxford on Wednesday last. Gen. But
ler was one of the speakers, and we
his speech as we find it reported
in th - e city papers : Road the speenla
Ma. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW-CITIZENS
OF PENNSYLVANIA AND THE UNION :
should owe you an apology if I came
here to advise with you upon the or
dinary issues of a State election, I
would have no right as a inemberXof
the Union from a distant State, to in
terfere with that peculiar and domes
tic policy with which you should
.choose that Pennsylvania should be
governed, and were there any instan
ces known to inc which involved sim
ply what should be done in Pennsyl
ania, I assure you fellow-citizens I
would not appear before you. But to
Ine:this contest has a nobler and wider
significance than who
_shall rule in
Pennsylvania. In this contest is in
volved the very life of the nation, now
.engaged iu a struggle, which shall
give her a proud eminence among the
nations of the earth, or sink her deep
:among the depressed implementswhich
in God's providence has failed to work
.out that destiny which seemed to be
her glory. And why do I say to you
that in the contest in Pennsylvania
there is such
judgment,
issue involved ? Be
cause, in my if, to-day, the
great State of New York, the great
State of Ohio, and the Keystone of the
Arch—Pennsylvania—should give back
to the South the seine sound that the
tar-distant Califo-nia has given, that
Maine, too, has given, in their decided
firm, and outspoken majority—not
tbr party, but for country—that in
ninety days from that date—and I
am no son4of a prophet—l predict that
the rebellion will be ended. Why do
the rebels hold out, in the face of de
feat and disaster upon every side of
them? Is there any doubt as to our
Aupriority over them ? any doubt
about our numbers and theirs?
Is there any doubt about the issue
when the currency is depressed more
than twelve hundred per cent. against
a currency almost convertible to gold?
Can there be any possible mistake up
on this question ? Then, why is the
contest prolonged? Why do we to
day hear . the paintnl tidings that our
brothers, sons, and fathers are being
slain around Chatanooga? Why do
we hear of a short revival in other pla
ces of the rebel hordes ? It is because
they hope to prolong the contest, and,
through the political divisions of the
North, obtain terms at the ballot-box
which they failed to achieve by the
cartridge-box. [Applause.] If argu
ment were needed to prove this, you
have it in the expressions of the news
papers of the South.
When the valleys of Pennsylvania
almost for the first time since the bat
tle of Brandywine, were pressed by a
hoctile foe—by our wayward brothers
—and, I. believe., by wayward sisters—
[laughter,]-1t was for the purpose of
plunder. The fair city of Philadel
rhia was a great temptation. The
rich valleys of the Cumberland were
tempting to those who had been win
tering in want. That was the object
of the invasion. The Richmond En
guirer gives us an additional reason for
a new invasion. It calls upon Gen.
Lee to come once more; and now not
for the purpose of getting mules and
horses- a -by no means—butfor the pur
pose orstrengthening the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania, inchiding
pew taxation, a new conscription, and
a new outporing of treasure. There
fore, it is that I have come here to ad
vise with you upon that which con
cerns me in Massachusetts, as it does
you in Pennsylvania. My friends, how
is this aid, which the rebels ex
pect,, to be furnished ? I understand
it to be the peculiar idea of that De
mocracy, that as soon as they can get
the-power, that Pennsylvania troops,
New York troops, New Jersey troops,
apd Ohio troops are to be withdrawn,
And a general amnesty declared, the
Union to lA , restored as it was before
the war, and all come back as a band
of brothers. To this proposition, I
propose to address myself. In the
first place, the question recurs to us,
"Do you wish the Union restored as
it was?" [No.] I want to put the
proposition distinctly, because upon
this some of my old Democratic friends
are sorely troubled. Suppose we could
wake up to-morrow morning and learn
that the rebels, every man of them had
laid down their arms and were willing
-to come back to the place they occu
pied on the 11th of April, 1861, the
day of the bombardment of Fort Sum
ter. If the Union could be restored
in tact, I might be in favor of it, if we
could bring back the glorious dead who
now sleep along the banks of the Chick
ahominy, the Potomac and everywhere
plsp where our army has fought so
many battles. The Union as it was
cannot be restored, and it would be
folly for him to say that he was in fa
vor of the restoration of the Union as
it was.
The next thing, continued the speak
er, that the Democratic party insist on,
is the Constitution as it is. On that
he was on the same side with his De
mocratic friends. The Constitution
of the United States was good enough
k,13 far as ho was acquainted with it.
It has served us well. No man—cer
tainly no man that acted with him—
desires the Constitution to be changed.
11 - ere is the difficulty. It is a mistake
of terms. We desire the Constitution
of some of the States to be changed.
Under the old articles of partnership,
ender which we lived very comforta
bly, nobody desired to make a change,
but when the partners broke up and
stole all they could, whether of their
own or others' property matters chang
ed, and now shall we take back those
partners es before? I don't. [Ap
plause.]
Gen. Paler pronospd ripo to speak
on the subject of slavery. Ile was one
of those who did not wish to see slave
ry back into the Union again. He
would give his reasons there,cor.
dressing himself to his old DemooraL
is friends, be said he did not change
his political principles when he enter
ed into this war. Ile was an old lov
er of Andrew Jackson, and with him
endorsed with all his heart the patri
otic sentiment that "By the. Eternal
the Union must be Fayed! . [Applause]
From that source Le learned his De
mocracy. De had voted ibr Polk, Lass,
Pierce, Buchanan, and Breckinridge.
[Laughter.] He had taken every dose
that had been offered him. More
than that, he attended every Demo
cratic National Convention since 1844,
and helped to make every Democratic
platform. It might be said he was a
politician. Well, he was not, for, up
to the time he received his commission
into the United States army, ho had
held no office in his life under the State
or National Government. Down in
Massachusetts, there was no such thing
as a Democrat getting into office.
He was a Democrat from principle.
Tife had some right, therefore, to ad
dress his old Democratic friends.
There were, be knew, many loyal
Democrats who adhere to the Demo
cratic party through a sense of duty.
They have believed for a generation
that the principles of the Democratic
party have always been advantage
ous to the National Government.
They cling to the organization now
Just as if it were as patriotic and as
pure as in the early days of its exist
ence. The question of slavery enter
ed as a fair plank in the Democratic
platform at the time of the election of
Mr. Polk. In 1848, the slavery plank
in the Democratic platform was renew
ed, and so in all succeeding conven
tions. If slavery became a portion
of the Democratic platform, it was al
so a portion 'the Whig platform fbr
the Whig pay had it then incorpora
ted. The agitation of slavery com
menced in good earnest, with able men
on both sides. He (the speaker) la
bored for the Cincinnati platform at
Charleston, because he saw the men
of the South determined to leave the
Union unless they got their way, and,
frightened at the sigltt, he was deter
mined to yield every thing for the Un
ion. He offered to nominate a young
man from Kentucky, Mr. Brecki nridge
for the sake of keeping the Southern
men within the Union. But the South
ern men were not to be satisfied even
with this. They organized for the
purpose of overthrowing the Govern
ment, and Beauregard opened his guns
which sounded forth not the death of
the Union, but the death of slavery ?
He assumed there was no man in this
crowd who, if left to the instincts God
has given him would wish there should
be a slave tin earth. [Applause.]
There were many of us who stood by
the institution so long as it was under
the protection of the Constitution. But
what did our Southern men do at
Charleston for slavery ? They with
drew from under the Constitution.
The . ;• gave up all the obligations of
that Constitution. From that day
they released us from all obligations
to them, and we Dmmicrats were left
free to follow the dictates of our own
conscience upon the matter of slavery.
Previous to this, we gave them every
constitutional right. We hunted their
nogroes in Massa3husetts, and did eve
ry thing they asked of us. They
spurned us, and said they would make
a new Government with slavery as its
corner-stone. They broke the part
nership. How much longer were we
to be bound by the partnership article
than they were ? _When they went
out of the Union, they'lost all rights
tinder the Constitution. They had
our bond, by which we were to give
them not one pound, but many pounds
of human flesh, and we then told them
to beware that they did not draw any
human blood, for in that ease their
goods were forfeited to the State. We
need not discuss the question of sla
very, therefore, for it has become, to
use a familiar word, a demoralized in
stitution. [Laughter.] The slave
has learned his strength. He has
learned his rights, and on that account
he is no longer valuable as a slave.
Having learned the value of the mus
ket and rifle, be is becoming a danger
ous species of property, and masters
will find him insubordinate. He has
now learned vicious tricks, so far as a
servant is concerned. The horse has
learned to kick and is dangerous. Be
fore the war an able bodied negro
would sell for $2,000. He noticed the
sale of one the otherday at that price.
But mark you, that is hardly two
thousand. ten-cent pieces. The fact is
slave property has decreased in value,
so much so that the South will soon
be glad to got rid of it. Within the
next six months, ho had no doubt,
Louisiana will come into the Union
with a constitution for the abolition
of slavery. [Applause.] He had seen
the true men' of Louisiana, and they
entertain this view. They say that
slavery is gone, and are willing and
anxious to have hired labor. This
war has not, destroyed negro proper
ty, but has rather increased its value
ten fold, for the free negro labor will
be so much the more beneficial than
slave labor. Be assured, then, that
slavery is dead. Beauregard killed it,
and let it be buried
Again alluding to his attachment to
the old Democratid party, the General
said ho did not mean to desert that
party. He meant to take it with him
some day, and have a platform upon
wbich•all loyal Democrats can k4und.
But we must sustain the Government
through all its dangers. - We mustsns
tain a nepublieun Administration.
We must go with them right or wrong.
The administration is the only means
by which we can
,be preserved from
anarchy, and if you oppose the admin
istration you oppose the Government.
The time may come when this Admin
istration will be changed. If so, it
must be for a more vigorous prosecu
tion of the war. [Applause.] A De
mocratic orator, the other day, made
use of this illustration : The Govern
ment is represented by an engine, and
the Administration by an engineer.
The engine is very pretty, and alto
gether acceptable, but the engineer
was a wicked fellow, and ought to be
turned away. But the engine now is
in clanger. It is reaching a precipice
—no'time is to be lost—and the fate
of all the passengers hangs upon the
skill of that engineer, who ever he may
be. Do not tie his hands, and he will
bring his precious load safely through.
[Applause.] You will find quit Wood
and Vallandighant are opposed to that
engineer, and would tip his hands.
Their friends in this State likewise;
and are we to permit them to over-
throw us on the precipice? It was a
remarkable thing that reverses to the
National arms were fitvorable to the
Democratic party, Suppose Gilmore
is driven away from Charleston, Ilo
secrans from Chatanooga, or Meade
from Virginia, would that not tend to
increase the Democratic vote at your
next election ? Undoubtedly. Sup
pose, on the other hand, that not only
Charleston has fallen, but that the re
bellion shouhl give its last gasp, can
there be anydoubt of the election of the
Union ticket in Pennsylvania ? There
can be only two parties at the present
time. The opposition to the Govern
ment does not conic from the old De
mocratic party. That party has al
ways been for the country in the past,
There are honest conscientious men in
the Democratic party who still vote
that ticket because they believe the
party is Still for the Udion. They
cannot fight against their Southern
brethren because the South is still a
part of the Union. Let us look at
this a little. Arc they in reality our
brethren ? Are they our enemies, oc
are they not? They had no right to
secede, but they did. It we find a
man with his throat cut, we say he
has committed suicide. no may pot
have had the right, bllt ho took the right. The rebels in arms are not our
brethren. They were our brethren,
but the hate betweenus now passeth
all the hate ever ltnp',yn between cue:.
miss. The Democratic party cannot,
go for the Government, because it is
not for free speech. Et`ery man lie
agreed, had the right to his tongue,
but he believed also that other men
had a right to their cars, and when
one man's speech became offensive to
another man's ears, it was time that it
should he stopped. Ile was a great
stickler for freo speech himself; but
we are engaged in a. great war now,
and if anybody • complained about an
outrage upon the liberty of speech,
let him shoulder his musket and put
down the rebellion, and free speech
will be restored. [Applause.] It is
complained that theTresiden t suspend
ed the habeas corpus. Now the
suspension of the habeas corpus is
essentially a Democratic idea. It ne
ver was recommended to be suspended
until by Thomas Jefferson, in the Burr
rebellion. Who actually did suspend
it? Gen. Jackson, and he was a good
Democrat, Gen. Jackson not only
suspended it, but arrested the offend
er and imprisoned the judge. [Ap
plause.] The suspension is, therefore,
according to Democratic practice. But
without stopping to defend it upon
that ground, how can we get rid of it?
End the rebellion. Do not, interfere
with the Government. If it is weak,
give it your strength ; if it is weak,
give it your power; if unpatriotic,
give it your patriotism. Go with me
and end the rebellion, and there will
be no farther suspension of the habeas
corpus. End the rebellion, and all our
woes are ended. There will be no
further drafts, no more increase of tax
ation, no mote infringement of the lib
erty of speech. Therefore, in conclu
sion, he would say, it' we wished this
war stopped, and substantial peace re
stored,work with and for the Govern
ment. We in Pennsylvania could do
as much at the ballot-box as our brave
soldiers can upon the battle fields of
the Sdutb.

cured the latest improved machinery for breaking
and scotching Flax. It is now in successful operation.
I desite it to be understood that I ant prepared to buy all
the flax that the farmers raise, above their household
wants, and if they desire I aril prepare what they want
for their own use. This machinery will thus to n two
days moro flax than one man can in the ordinary Way id
Witty days. The flax after it is pulled and seperated from
the stock, ehonlel be epread on a meadoW; thinly and reg-
Warty, to be exposed to the dews fora meek or ten days
until the stuck assumes t silver grey color, the under
side' should then be turned up end treated in the same
may. On a dr) day it can then be tied in bundles and is
ready for the mill. It is not necessary to dry it by fire or
smoke It over an oven, as this Is only trouble for nothing,
