in my judgment, is a very small
part of what it is possible to do in
ibis case and of what ought to be
done. Gen. Porter should in the

Telegraph would have suited our
taste better if it hart done a little
of this kind of lying itself the past
summer, but wc suppose that makes
hut little difference.
Speaking of nil effort to make Mr.
Henry A. Chocver Governor But

says: “Mr Cliccver was killed in
North Carolina in 18G4, or at least
all the dispatches so reported him,
but, like the democratic party, lie
is to-day about as lively a corpse
as there is on the footstool, and
takes a deep interest in tiic glory
and welfare of Massachusetts’
militia.”
General Butler was asked the
other day wlmt the democrats must
do in order to be successful in
1884, and replied: “Carry out the
principles of Jcficrson nnd Jack-
son in enacting reform. If they
should do this,” lie says, “tiic
peoplo would give them the gov
ernment for a series of years, as
they gavo it to their fathers." He
also said: “But 1 am not a prophet

If a solemn and sincere expression
of my thorough imnderstauding of
and belief in the entire innocence
of General Porter will tend to draw
the public mind to the same convic
tion, 1 shall feel abundantly re
warded for my efibrts. It will al
ways be a pleasure to me as well
n3 a duty to be tiic instrument even
in the smallest degree of setting
right any man who has been gross-
ly wronged, especially if he has
risked life ami reputation in de
fense of his country. I feel, as
staled, on a previous occasion, a
double interest in this. As gener
al of the army, when 1 might have
been instrumental in having jus
tice to General Porter, and later as
President of the United Slates,
when I certainly could linve done
so, 1 labored under the impression
that he was guilty. Having be
come better informed, 1 at once
voluntarily gavo, as 1 have contin
ued to give, my earnest efforts to
impress the minds of ray country
men with the justice of this case,
and secure from the government

tution due to Gen. Fitz John Por
