New Wheat.

New Wheat.
An interesting item concerning the first
delivery of new wheat will be found in our
Commercial Report. We presume the
croakers at Dubuque and elsewhere will find
consolation in reading it. We trust that
our friends at Dubuque arc not so insanely
jealous of our trade as their squibs and fibs
in the newspapers indicate. We hope they
may find consolation in the fact that al
though their trade is fast leaving them for
better markets, through more natural and
available channels, yet it is not through any
lack of effort on their part to get trade or
retain it, but rather because their town is
situate at a point naturally so inferior to
ours that capital and inccssant industry
cannot compete with the advantages which
Nature has bestowed upon our young
city. McGregor can and does pay higher
range of prices for grain than Dubuque,
and it would, to say the least of it, be more
manly to offer an honorable competition,
rather than by newspaper ISLANDERS attempt
to injure city they have confessed them
selves unable to cope with in business.
B-Thc Chicago journal, Republican
newspaper, and an especial advocate OF
Abe Lincoln, in recent editorial used the
following language:
"Our education has been such, that we
have rather been IN .tacor Of the equality
of the blacks that they should enjoy all
the privileges Of the ,ohites uhsrs they re-
side. "-Erchange. -
We know men who are leaders of Rcpub-
lican meetings, vote Republican tickets,
sustain Republican candidates and support
Republican papers, who advocate similar
doctrines, only more plainly and stronger.
Men who not only advocate negro equality
in public and private, but aver their will
ingness to practice it whenever opportunity
offers. These men are not only Republi-
can voters, but some Of them are the re-
cognized opponents Of the party. The
rank and file of the Republican party deny
that they are Abolitionists, and if they are
sincere in their denials, why do they act,
talk and vote for those who advocate Abo-
lition doctrines, Why do they affiliate
| with and sustain those who unblushingly
advocate and are ready to practice negro
equality?
If such doctrines are really so loathsome
and disgusting to you as men, so offensive
to you as politicians, why do you allow
yourselves to be led by their advocates, re-
presented by their acknowledged defenders,
and follow in the wake of openly protested
negro equality lovers. We haye no quarrel
with men who advocate the equality of the
races. We believe it may be with them
simply matter of taste, and we are moi
bound to abuse white man because hi
says a negro is his equal in all respects
in fact, We think, perhaps its true in hi:
case but we will not admit that we en-
dorse the doctrine by sustaining such by
our voice and money. If we believed il
the doctrine of negro equality, We woul'
have the manliness to own it, and if we di'
not believe in it, we would not show an,
half way work about it. 1t looks to u
like this-Rcpublican say they are no
Abolitionists, and yet they have men 70
leaders, in many instances, who are know
to be of the most ultra John Brown school
Such conduct may be honest, but it is yer.
