Autobiography and personal reminiscences of Major-General BenjFButler : Butler's book : a review of his legal, political, and military career . st against the PresidentsProclamation of Emancipation, and had consulted with Smith onthe question of its publication, thus betraying both his friends, —violating every duty in every relation with every general command-ing, defaming, and attacking his best friends who supported him, —violating every instinct of a gentleman or a man of honor by disclos-ing acts which he, as a host, calls his guests to commit, calling hisstaff officer as a witness to the weapon he has obtained againstGrant, — and in the postscript of his letter offering to procure forFoote other evidence to destroy the character and influence of Grant,and to disclose their confidential secrets. He devotes his after lifeto telling these tales of his own disgraceful perfidy in the magazinesof his country published after Grants death. Does not Smith show himself to be, though of human form,only an animal of the lowest class, found nowhere but in America,the generic name of the whole species being Mephitis Ameri-cana?.
