DON'T LIKE THE NAME

A rather high seasoned republican, man
who sometimes put in rather too much pow
der for his lead, don't like our classification
of the opponents Of the new constitution as
the "stumptail negro party" There seems
TO US to be significance in the name when
is highly appropriate. 1t does not refer par
ticularly to republicans, or democrats lof
many men of each party supported ana oP'
nosed the new constitution. 1t refers paruc-
ularly to the men who voted to continue '"e
circulation Of stumptail currency ana drive
ont Of circulation the bills OF the uniteu
States,-ond to those who voted in favor ol
colouizing Illinois with negroes. The "ord
"stumptail" has peculiar significance IN
this state. 1t refers to that class OF Illinois
bank shinpasters by which our people were
recently cheated-yes, srsndIed-out OF sew
eral millions Of dollars. All that kind OF rag
currency i. known everywhere as ''stumptall.
This is the common name given to II ny eve
nv banker, every business man, aud by 'he
public generally. Those who voted against
the bank article on the 18th Of June, voted to
drive out Of circulation the bills Of the United
States, and to keep in circulation the com
parativcy worthless and irresponsible stump
tail currency and those who voted against
the negro article voted in favor OF colon'znG
the state with negroes Its, therefore. pecu'
harly appropriate ,hat the party voting
against the new constitution, no matter Whe'
Their made NJ Of democrats, republicans, or
abolitionists, should be called the stumpta'I-
negro party. We mean nothing personally
offensive or dsrcspectiut to any man by the
use of this name-we only use 1t because 1t
expresses the character of the party to which
it is applied, and does it IN the iewest poSsi-
