COURIER JfCHJKKAl/. t ^ ( The New York Evening Post gil'<$ us some apt illustrations ef the adage ttfdt 1 ^'polities wakes strange bed-felkitys." i It recalls the fact Hint lit 1800 Butler was > went-aa-a Douglas delegate to. the Chafe , leston Convention, bnt was ?o strong n (secessionist and nro-slavery advocate " that he turned his tack upon the Little I Giant and voted more than fifty times r for-tfeifcrson Davis; and that on his re, turn his friends in Lowell held an indig. nation meetiug to condemn hid course 1 in voting with the pro-slavery wing of the party. "A few months alter that," i aays the Post, "the Ifew England Anti[ slavery Society held a convention in Tremont Temple, Boston. The pwK 1 slavery Democrats who sustained Gen; eral Butler decided that the meeting [ should he broken up. An organization j was formed for that purpose, and ruffians in broadcloth came in from the suri rounding towns to help. For two days the soeicty vainly endeavored to transact > tiioip (inaitiAiM; as often iih tht?v met. the "respectable" mob took possession of ' the galleries and drowned the voices of t the speakeife J'with songs and cries such * as Mr. Jeffbrson Davis would have ap? t proved. .At tiie same time terror reignled among the negroes in the eUyr ant) their houses mid churches were wantoihly attacked. Oik the evening oftheseeond day, Mr. Wendell Philips trletfto address tin* nreeting in Tremont Temple. But the triumphs of the mob hful _ j made it bolder. The meeting was finally broken up, aud Mr. Philips escaped with some difficulty. The mob then pought his house, and the ufntost efforts of the police were necessary to protect f1 it." Aud now Butler and Philips are in the same ]K>liticnl be<Ir lying as lov* ' ingiy together as if, they had been in V each other's arms from earliest infancy. 1 Tliey both atldressed a large meeting at .
