MARTYRS.

MARTY rs.
We invite the special attention Of the
Union and its political brethren, 10 the con-
sideration of the annexed list OF one hun
bred aud thirty-two martyrs, during the hrst
four months Of Mr. Folks administration.
II is taken from the Norfolk Herald Of the
18th inst; and so far as our observation ex-
tended during that bloody era" we think
it is correct. We know most Of the victims
personally whose names are enumerated,
and we unhesitatingly pronounce them to be
gentlemen, against whom the charge o.
either incapacity or in6delity to duty was
never once brought, or il brought, was
never subsiantiated. Their only crime was,
that they were not Of the Polk political faith.
We say, we invite the special attention o
the Union and its political brethren, to III.
consideration OF this Sangunary table, o.
prescription, because we desire that that
journal and It's compeers should see their OWE
image in a mirror Of their own making
Perhaps the fright, which a glimpse Of their
own Medusa-like. heads viii occasion, may
have salutary Influence in disposing them
10 tell the truth hereafter respecting the anti
proscriptive administration Of Zachary Tay-
lor. We call the period, during which the
gentlemen in the following list were driven
from Office, a "hloody era" II was so in
truth; for ar. William fumes, whose name
ia inscribed on this iron tablet, died in con-
sequence OF his removal. This is no fiction
Our whole city well remembers the fact
and there are hundreds who ill attest 10 the
truth Of it. The authors Of that act will We,
receive compensation for il at the bands q
slow-pacing justice. But TO the list
