Origin of the Term Butternuts.

The origin Of the term Butternuts," as
applied to Democrats, is as follows AT
an early day in the West The people were
unable 10 procure imported dyes for color>

dye being still in use in the mountainous
regions of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, ard Tennessee, the soldiers first
called INTO The r*nks from these regions,
were clothed in homespun but,ernut cloth.

OF the contest. The first prisoners captur-

20 them as an ephi,het Of reproaci. At
The excitement grew stronger. the Re1ub-
llIanS, TO tx the idea Of disloyalty upon
the Democrats. transferred the term to
them, and Butternut and Secessionlsts
were used as synon, nous terms. In the

is to say, Democrats alone were deslrous
