4y-T The Missouri Butternuts-the origi-
nal, simon-pnr breed under the lead of
Quantrell, have just made q midnight raid
into Lawrence, Kansas, sacked the city,
burned the greater portion of il to the
ground, and coolly murdered its
unresisting inhabitants. men, women and
children, with barbarity and atrocity not
even excelled by that of Gov. Seymour's
civilized constituents and well-beloved
.friends!'
Now, we ask the Iowa Butternuts what
they think of this evidence of the brother
" love and peaceable disposition of their
Missouri fellows? Do they approve this
conduct or disapprove it? Do they imagine
it evinces a desire for peace? Do they
think it looks like submitting to the econ
stitution as it is?" Is it a proof of their
intent to abide by the Laws? Is it an evil
dence of what Butternuts here propose to
deal out to loyal men, whenever they
obtain the power? We would like to
know. These fellows in Missouri are But
ternuts, fully ripened. They talk very
much as you do. They are afflicted with
the same CONSTITUTIONAL grievances
They claim the same privileges. They
seek the same ends. They support JEFF.
Davis, swear by the "Confederacy' ana
damn "Abe Lincoln and the abolition
ists' with zeal almost equal to yours
Are these gentle homicides, harmless ar
sons and honorable robberies, part of the
programme? Do you, too, look with de-
light upon the agreeable picture? Is it to
your taste? If it is do let us know. You
don't condemn this or anything else they
do. Why ,,ot' Is it because abolition
ists' as we'll as "niggers" have mo rights
Buttermuts are bound to respect" We are
anxious for information. If you endorse
Quantrell perhaps you will also tell us if
futile does the same?

&s~ We understand that the man COM
monty called Judge Knapp, late District
Attorney Of the United States for Iowa, is
chief engineer of the Copperhead side of
the futile Jugglery. This same Knapp is
a fit instrument to manipulate such a game
OF thlmble-rig as they are now playing
he Is the same individual who some years
since unblushingly proclaimed that the
people a0ere Dat a flock of sheep made and
meant to be. sheared." He undoubtedly is
still OF the same opinion. He evidently
in1agines himself one of the ssshearers. !,
but we think he will find himself among
the ''shOrn."

~" The Cincinnati Gazette, of the I'D,
contains reply to the celebrated letter OF
OConnell written to the Irishmen of Gin
ciunati. expressing his detestation of hui
man slavery, and exhorting his country
men to oppose it in every possible manner.
This reply was penned by S. P. Chase, pre-
sent Secretary of the Treasury, and is a
mastery history and expose of the enor-
nous evils and dangers Of the infamous
system. Five years after writing this let
ter, Mr.. Chase received the unanimous vote
ofthe Democracy the Ohio Legislature, for
United States SENATOR! This fact indicates
the position of the Democracy then. What
it is now we all know. Then it was oppos-
ed to slavery. To-day it falls down and
worships it--turns traitor to defend and
perpetuate it, and would destroy the Union
rather than be deprived of the supreme
happiness of whipping "niggersr' Isn't
this pleasant history for a party whose
members swear they are the genuine, un-
changing and infallible opponents of the
principles of its founders? 1t is like our
Jonathan, surnamed "Acquiescence." A
few years since he was telling every body
to ''acquesce' in the Kansas swindle. NoW
he breaches 'resistdnce' not to "swindles'
but to necessary law. But then he did both
for his Divinity, Slavery. We believe he
has always been consistent in his hatred of
human rights and in his professions of De-
mocracy. He does it all for the cause,
which he thinks heavenly!

ASoUTHERN FINANCE VIBw.--The Rich
mond Enquirer3 of August 10th, says:
TE"Mr. Memminger's printing press, we
mean that press which is grinding the life
out of us, is turning out reams and tons of
printing paper by way of money. Every
turn of the horrible engine is raising the
price ofeverything we eat and drink, and
wear for the present, and for the future is
laying up an additional load of debt to
crush us with taxes, and our children, to
the third and fourth generation.
''fhe more money that dreadful instru-
ment pours out upon us, the less money we
have.I We shall be beggared at last by our
enormous sums of money and buried under
mountains of paper. II is not the Secreta-
RVS wish to flood us with any, more of his
paper. GIadly would he stop his press if
he could. He knows as well as any one that
the country has already far too much Of
this sort of money, and if he could gather
and burn one hundred wagon loads of it he
would dance with joy around the fire. But
what can he do? Public services must be
paid in that which passes current as money,
and if great floods of it are always passing
out of the Treasury, and but little coming
back, he must supply the deficiency by
new issues, until, at last, the volume of
current paper mnst be so much in excess of
commodities to be purchased with it, that
hose who have anything to sell will not
believe that they can ever demand too
much OF it Toy pound of beef or pair OF
shoes"

n3~The loyal Democrats of Wisconsin
cannot stand the platform ate mpted to be
crammed down their throats by the Cop
perhead Convention held at Madison on
the 5th instant. They have therefore is
sued call for Convention to be held at
GAINESVILLE on the 18th of September. They
say ait is utterly impossible for War DEM
ocrats to acquiesce in the pernicious doc
trines' of the Butternut platform-that
they cannot permit the party to pass into
the control of this arrogant and disloyal
action" and that it is the ''duty of the
loyal Democracy to take action at once to
organize real and a sound Democratic
party, which shall be unflinching in prin-
ciple, loyal in practice, and devoted to the
Government however and by whomsoever
administered" This call is signed by over
fifty of the leading Democrats of the State.
The action of these Wisconsin Democrats
is telling commentary upon the conduct
of the same party in Iowa. 1t is here I'M
der the absolute control of the most bitter
and relentless Copperheads. Its platform
was prepared by Mahony, Hutchins and
men Of similar purposes and equal infamy.
1t is as full Of treason as they dare make
ii, and would have been fully up to the
standard of jeff. Davis, if it's concocters
had not imaginad some of their followers
might refuse to support open, though they
were quite willing TO encourage covert
treason. The Iowa platform is worse than
the Wisconsin. But we do not hear OF
any call for new Convention to correct or
set aside its deadly heresies! Are we to
conclude that all our leading Democrats
endorse it? Are they all traitors? Do
they mean to live and die under that impu-
tation? If they do, God help them.
Ass~ From a letter which we find in the
Gate city, it appears that soldier has just
been murdered in Mahaska County, and
another wounded, by Gen. Tuttes friends.
The soldiers did not like the Comprehend
breast-pins worn by the futile men at a
Copperhead meeting-took off one-anoth-
er jealous Tuttle man presented himself.
and dared A. Alaway, q returned soldier of
the Sd Iowa. to take his off. Alaway took
ii off, and Mr.. Tuttle-C opperhead shot Ala
way, killing him almost instantly. Gen.
futile ought, at least, to be able to keep
his supporters from wearing Butternut and
Copperhead breast-pins, and from shooting
our soldiers. This is not the kind Off feast
that General Tuttle was expected to invite
his companions in arms to when furloughed
10 visit their homes. That one of the he
roes of Shiloh, Donelson, jackson and
Vicksburg, should be shot down like dog
bya dirty Copperhead, is not just the thing.
