The Question of Negro Resi-
deuCe.

It is useless to try 30 evade the fact, or to
conceal it from view, we shall be compelled
70 meet the question Of negro equality
The powers at Washington have nushed
this subject, and will continue to thrust it
still pore prominently before the people,
until Tin self defence, state governments will
be compelled to enact severe laws against
the black race and forbid them 40 reside
within their Jurisdictions. The policy
pursued By the president and congress viii
have the eject to deluge the northern Dor
der states with food Of the slaves liberia
ted in the south, and those states must eth
or submit to the inundation, or in defense
OF their interests, make laws to prevent
it.
Pennsylvania has already taken the
alarm. Parties of influence in 0hi) are
moving 20 prevent the accumulation of the
negro element in that state. Indiana, of
course, will not submit to be the Texas of
tho emaucipated blacks, and Illinois, situa
ted between two slave states, has long had
restrictive laws on that subject. Those
states bordering on the line of slavery, win
be obliged to becom the resort of thousands
Of emancipated slaves, or enact laws to
prevent them from intruding upon them.
Souuu YOiOy wa uiStHteb anu We aP0FeN
bend that this is the policy that will inva-
riably be followed. that the races should be
kept separate, so far as practicable, by
passing laws for that purpose. It'll noto-
rious that the emancipated slaves are,
when cOngregated in crowds, INDECENT,
"shiftless," improvident, and of course,
poor. With poverty, comes the inclination
to steal, for even a lazy negro will eat
The resalt of the measures of congress in
confscating slaves will inevitably be to
introduce among Us, this lazy, thieving
population. and just in proportion as this
policy Of confscatng the slaves is carried
out, will be the deleteliuns effects to the
free states from a useless atj grant pop

At His Dirty work Again.

The editor Of the True Democrat seems
to delight in eliminating and slsnderiug
our city. Verify, if his readers abroad 30
lieve his statements, they must have poor
opinion of the citizens of Joliet. Week
after week his peshferous Abolition sheet
is filled with the most nonsensical assaults
upon our citizens for their want of loyalty.
Here, where the facts and the author of
these charges are known, nobody takes any
notice of ihem or.is surprised at them
But the continued effort to deframe our
city and its inhabitants, may finally be the
means Of misleading well disposed persons
who reside in other localities-and it is for
this reason, that we again call upon our
contemporary to cease his vile and yindic-
tive SANDERS.
When the editor asserts that there are
those in the Democratic party in this city
who hold disloyal sentiments, he is guilty
of uttering wilful and malicious false
hood. Let the contributions of the people
and the libera!ity of our City Council in
rendering aid and comfort to our brave
soldiers, and the respect shown to the re-
mains Of those. who have fallen in battle
or died in the service, bear evidence of the
patriotic impulses that control the hearts
of our citizens in this terrible national
crisis. If the editor desires the respect of
honest men let him cease his foul slang
about knights Of the Golden Circle" or
the Unreasonable instincts" of our citizens.
We have Ia d enough of this.

bration Of the Democratic victory in Chi

ing OF that gentleman. The passage quot
