BEN BUTLERs OPINION or CUBAN
BELLIaEnENcY.- = Washington, October
4.--Ben Butler is Disguised with the
conduct Of the government on the Gu.
ban question. He says it has pursued a
trlfing policy towards Cuba unworthy
OF great government. II she uld, he
says, eth r have granted belligercnt
rights to the Cubans lorg ago or else
have said to them :--"Now 20 away !:
we don't intend 10 have anything 10 do
with you. You can work out your own
salvation" Butler himself Is evidently
in favor Of the Cabuhs. He does not
appear to have any Of that dread of
Spain or Of Spanish ptiva,eers which
prevails IN some quarters. Nor Is he
troubled about what Great Britain
wonld say IN case our government re-
cognized the Cubans as belligerents, OF
how it would Affect the Alabama
claims.

The Importance of the Election.

The people of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana, where elections occur next month.
cannot be expected to understand our local
issues. In those States National issues are
alone considered, and the battle is fought
over the 10Th amendment and the financial
question, the Republicans continuing their
efforts for the establishment of equal rights
and the maintenance of the National credit.
The party lines are drawn substantially just
as they were In 1858 when Grant was elected.
It win he supposed in those States that the
Republicans of Maine, too, are pressing on TO
finish the great work they have begun, and
any material reduction of their relative
strength will be regarded as token of want
OF confidence in Gen. Grant and his admins
tration. Such conclusion would no doubt
be erroneous, but it is the one that would GER
talnly be adopted. Democrats would every
where assume it, 1t would be jubilantly pro-
claimed by Rebels and Rebel-sympathizerS
everywhere. Our friends in the States we
have mentioned would be dsheartened, and
would perhaps suffer defeat. If they are
defeated the fifteenth amendment is lost for
the present, and perhaps foreoer! Remem-
Der, then, that upon our action to-day may de-
pend the safety of proposed change in the
organic law Of the Republic, that is more
important than the Magma Ctarta or the
Bill OF Rights was to England. Upon our
fidelity to principles the triumph of which we
have assisted partially to secure may depend
their final triumph. Temperance men of
Maine! knowing these things, as you must,
and knowing, too, with perfect certainty that
no independent effort of yours can be of any
avail in securing the specific object you have
in view, since it is diverted wholly to the
promotion of a cause that is at antipodes
with that you cherish, will you give your
votes to-day to Democratic candidates by
