ANXIOUS FOR MARTYRS.

The Butternuts are particularly anx-
ious for an increase of martyrs in their
party. They have, since the com
mencement Of the Rebellion, been very
bold in the utterance Of reasonable
language, whenever or wherever 1t was
likely to give ohense, or produce such
results as the community or Govern
ment was bound to take notice Of
They succeeded in the earlier part Of
the struggle in attracting some atten-
ton, and few of them were honored
by an arrest, at the instance Of the
Government. These arrests were used
by the leaders for the purpose Of in
ftising some life into the ranks of their
demoralized and broken party, and, as
they had neither principle nor the " CO
hesive power of public plunder" TO
hold them together, they sought, by
magnifying the number and misrepre-
senting the nature of these arrests, to
arouse the sympathies and prejudices
Of the faithful, and thus secure their
undivided efforts for the success Of the
party.
Arbitrary, Illegal arrests, was the
theme Of the party in the past campaign
and, although unsuccessful, they are
still anxious for more arrests-for the
reason, we suppose, that they have sung
that song until they are familiar with 1t,
and, like they are with their bottles,
they understand how to get out Of II
all that is in it. So solicitous have they
become upon this subject that they take
hold Of every criminal occurrence
where the accused is Butternut, and
attempt to make party affair Of it,
II one Of their number Is arrested for
assault and battery, with intent to kill,
horse stealing, murder, treason, or other
crime, they Mt once rally to the rescue,
and attempt to make party capital out
of It,
On Saturday last, when 1t was learn.
cd here that Medary, of the Crisis, had
been arrested, one of the Butternuts
here, the !AogM Of the tribe, said
"Good! ! am glad of i'll" Another
one said "That is just what Sam. Me
Diary has been wanting"
There was time when, II Grand
Jury should find man guilty Of 4
crime, 1t was q matter Of regret to his
friends; but, in the high state of NOR
ais 70 which the present Federal parfs
has attained. an Indictment for treason
or other crime only makes the subject
OF 1t more popular, and he is at once
looked upon as q martyr. and sainted
accordingly. Saint Medary has thus
been added 70 their Calendar Of Saints.

Democratic Gain iM the Sol

Last year tho Democratic State Ticket
only received two thousand soldier votes.
We already have returns fren scatter
ing detachments, giving us over enc thou
sand votes. Our vote in the army will be
much greater this year than last; in fact
we will gain in the army proportioDately
as we have gained on the home vote.
Gen. MCCLELLAN will receive much
heavier vote in the army than our State
Ticket. He will probably divide the
soldier vote evenly. Let every Democrat
send a Democratic Electoral Ticket at
once to the soldiers in the field. With
an even chance in the army, we can give

Nevada and Colorado Terri

Nevada has decided upon constitu
tien, and is now ready fer admission into
the Union as soon as Mr.. Lincoln shall
by proclamation, enable it to enter into
the constellation of States. 1t is stated
however, that the President has determin-
ed to wait until after the election, be-
cause he has learned that both Nevada
and Colorado are strongly Democratic in
their tendencies, and might, if admitted
las States, cast their votes against him.
The former territory is peopled mostly by
immigrants from Kentucky, Tennessee
and Missouri, who are supposed to be
anti administration in their sentiments.

Secretaries to these benighted territories
will prove unavailing.oioF au

NUMBER 81.
Another Joke byA. I..ncaIa.

The Springfield Mass. Repa5 &c tp, sn
Administrator newspaper says:
when Mr. Redpath visited resident
Lincoln, on behalf Of President Gsffrard,
of Hayti, to offer a white representatives
from his court to Washington, provided
Mr. Lincoln,in difference to certain prcju-
dices against color, should desire It, Mr..
Lincoln replied, Tell Mr. Gefrard that
l shan't tear my shirt If he dues send
nigger.'"
The recognition of Hayti was intended
by the Abolition party to be an official
declaration that negroes in this eeuutry
we're the equals OF white men. If yr.
Lincoln bad deferred g to certain prejd-
dices against color he would have con.
tradicted his declaration. His only cause
for such mental disquietude in the case 40
would lead him to sstear his shirt" arose
from the fear that President GefFrard
would send white man. The whole
course Of Mr.. Lincolns ADMINISTRATORS
shows that he would rather negotiats
with "niggers' than white men. II Clay
and Holcombe had bsen American citi.
zens of African descent, the Presidents
would not have ''torn HE shirt" in writing
his ITO whom it may concern manifesto.
So with Alex. Stephens. and the PROPOSE
tions forpeace received through Fernando
Wood. On the other hand he never has
refused to consider terms proposed by
''nigger." As 'siggsr" equality i.
dirty theme, no exceptions can justly bs
taken to Mr. Lincoln's want Of polish in
expressing his entertainment Of TIE idea.
