The Democratic Vote.

We publish elsewhere in to.day's paper,
the Democratic vote Of the different coun-
tics Of the State as shown by the official re-
turns to the Secretary of State. These re-
turns show the whole number of votes cast
for the Democratic electors to be SO. 800.
This table will be examined with interest by
the Democracy Of Butte. and they may de-
rive some pride and qualification from its
State that cast larger Democratic vote than
Butte, as follows; San Francisco, Sac
ramento, FL Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Gala
veras, and Sierra; the latter county leading
Butte by scratch Of only five votes This
is doing pretty we'll for 1856 considering
that in 1854 we cast but a trihe over 1900
shall expect to see Butte take precedence
over the counties of Calavaras, Placer, and
Sierra. There is hardly a doubt but what
we shall do so. Butte will then be the fifth
county in the State, position to which We
believe her population and Importance en-
title her to-day.
A late number of the Shasta Courier
contained an article protesting to show that
Shasta and Siskiyou, cast more votes than
Butte and Plumas. We had intended to
examine into the matter, but found that the
vote OF Plumas ccounty was not contained IN
our copy of the official returns, and not
having the documents at hand to confront
the Dragging courier, we dropt the subject.
We beg leave now, however, to call the
Curriers' attention to the number of Iem-
ocratic votes cast by the counties of Butte
and Plumas, and to request that paper to
select any two counties in their snow capped
diggings that can beat them. The Democrat
ic vote of Butte and Plumas exceeds that of
Shasta and Siskiyou, fifteen! We have not
COurier.c the statement about the

tance of Republicans and Know Nothings
to lay over US.
