We understand that the Illinois Central

This accounts for the falsehoods and abuse
heaped on that instrument by these jour

Tne nes constitution secures, beyond the

enue from the proceeds Of the Illinois Cen

that few venal newspapers should 30

cIude, when we see newspapers goirg out

bar. LincOin's ConsIstent RE-
cord

IT anybody desires that we shall enter
tain any particular amount Of confidence
in the purposes of President Lincoln, let
him first explain the record which be has
made in reference 70 the abolition Of slavery
in the District Of Columbia. As early a.
1887 that record commences, when he, as
. member Of the Legislature o. this State,
with another member, entered his protest
sgaiasy certain resolutions passed, fayoring
the abolition Of slavery ia TIE District of
Colombia. In the protest he protested:
''fhe Congress Of the United States has
the power, under the constitution, 10
sbolish slavery IN the District OF Columbia:
bat that power ought rot lac exerci,ea
RHiesS attic request q McYrap'c Of salt
District"
Mr. Linc0l1 served one term IN The
ljwor house Of Congress, and ia January,
1872 he introduced bin providing for the
Sbohtion of slavery in the District Of Col
unbia, upon the express condition that the
people OF the District should vote at dav
specified to give the act effect. The latter
clause of the section, providing for the vote
of the people thereon. is in these words:
"And it shall be the duty Of the Presi-
dent TO canvass said votes Immediately aud
ii majority OF them be found t. be for
tnlb act, 10 iuEAHWlu issue MS ITICluluAlUN
giving notice of the fact. and this act shall
only be in full force and effect. on aud alter
the day Of such proclamation"
In the great canvass with Mr.. D5uclas
Cor the Senate, Mr.. Lincoln replied to an
Interrogation on that point as fellows:
81 would not vote IN fayor Of endravuring
10 abolish slavery IN the District Of Cplu2-
bia, unless it coul be OF these C, nditiuns
First that tie abolition SkO,tl.! BE- r,.la@l-
Second, that Il Sh0Ut3 be on q rofe sf4ss ,.l>
jority Of he goterS Q the District; and third.
that compensation should be made to va
willing owners"
In his message but few weeks since.
urging Congress to pass certain resolutions
pledgns the pecuniary aid os the govern
meDt 20 States adopting u system of gradual
emancipation, he deprecates Sudden epoas
cipati0n."
And yet, with this long record befnre
him, he sigas the bill abolishing slavery in
the District instantly and uncondi,ionly
with very slight compensation, and directly
against tue known wishes of the people Of
ofihe District.
If, after this record. there are any
grounds upon which TO place any particular
amount Of reliance upon the 'will," black
bone" or straight i0rwHrd purpose OF the
President upon any GU sion where the
Rbolitionists are pulling on s,.a side, we
tail 10 appreciate them.--CAf cs Tines.

The>zscason why they oppose

1t is mystery to many why the Re.
9ublicans oppose the new constitution, be,
ing, as it is, decided Improvement of the
old in so many particulars.
The following section found in the ar
tiele On elections" explains the matter:
Section l. Every white male citizen
above the age Of twenty-one years, who
may have been resident If this state one
year next preceding any election. shall be
entitled to vote at such election ; and every
white male inhabitant of the age aforesaid,
who shall have been resident Of this state
one year next preceding the adoption Of
this constitution, shall have the right OF
voting as aforesaid Iforidei, that such
citizen or iuhabitant shall vote only in the
election district where he resides, and shall
have resided sixty days next preceding
such election, and no ether qualification
Z shall be required Of voter.
The Republican party has always OPP
posed the granting cf privileges to those
who seek our shores from the oppressed
nations Of Europe In Massachusetts, the
banner State>uf epablicanism, Germans,
Irish, French, ami all others born in a
foreign land, are required to reside in
the State seven years lefore they can
enjoy the privileges Of citizenship. Negroes
how ever can vote III that State after resi-
dee If one year.
( This same feeling of prescription and
iut- llsrance extends throughout the Re.
publican party. a majority of that party
ara 10 favor Of making citizens of negroes
but would deprive Germans and othel
foreign born residents of the right o
voting.
Their opposition to the adoption Of tl,
new constitution, We have no doubt, il
Chiefly prompted by the above section. |
ignores the naturalization requirement
Let the instrument containing this section
be adopted by the sufrages of the peoE le
and it would be equivalent to the paturali
cation Of all foreign born white uhabitnnt
who have been one year residents Of tn
State prior to the 18th of June, 1862.
The Germans, especially, should fee
under deep obligations to the Republican,
TOR opposing the adoption of the new con
sti;uiiun. NJtwithstan ling their grea
services TO that party, the Reputlica
newspapers and leaders are making war O.
the new constitution, because that in1tru
ment is liberal aud just en- the subjec
OF naturalization.
While the new constitution makes citi
zens of oil white residents Of the State,
excludes negroes. This provision, as v
anticipated it would, has arrayed all In
Know Nothings as we'll as the Abolition
lists against the entire document

New Orleans.

There is little doubt that New Orleans
is ours, but how it became SO or what is
the exact state of affairs there at the present

1t is said that on the approach of our
feet the rebel army. under com mand of
General Lowell, abandoned the city.
The Mayer, IN reply to the demand to

and hoist the national ensign over tho
public buildings, replied as FLOWS:

an act; nor could find in my constituency

If such be the feelings of the people of
New Orleans, the difficulties Of our force

not express the public sentiment

Read ont or1he PARTY,

The Chicago Tribune has disposed Of Sen
ator Browning, In its issue Of the 30th
uli., it speaks Of him thus:
Loyal men in Illinois who believe Sla-
very the cause and origin Of cur national
woes and the mains ing Of the rebellion,
will rejoice that the term Of Mr.. Browning
is brief one, and yet it is sufficiently long
to have attested that gentlemen's thorough
devotion to the barbarism of man stealing,
which finds in him Jealous and deliberate
advocate and supporter"
The offence of Mr.. Browning consists in
his venturiug to take ground against the
sweeping confiscaticn and emancipation
plans Of the ultras. lie is opposed to TIE
negro equality Doctrines of Loveioy and
Sumner, and hence is dissasteiu! to the
refined scnsibilities of the negro worship
pers.
This efJrt Of the Tribune to read Mr..
Browning out of the Republican party,
comes from a quarter entitled to considera-
tion. The Tribune has the reputation of
being the exponent of the views and policy
Of the Administration in the northwest
Indeed, the facts that ne ofits editors holds
the best Government Office in the State, and
that is extreme abolition sentiments have
been adopted by the President in his ofic-
cial acts and appointments hitherto, are
sufficient to remove doubt on tha, score
The President and his Cabinet seem to have
unlimited confidence in this vile abolition
sheet, and its behests are taken and carried
out with an astonishing submissiyeness.
If Mr.. Browning's conservative views
render him unfit to be a member of the
Republican party, he VIII fud friends
amongst the Democrats. And from what
we know Of his reputation, sentiments and
talents, we confess that we shall rot grieve
much if the Tribune succeeds in driving
him out of its party. If he will stand By
the constitution and the rights ofthe States
and citizens under it, the Democracy will
stand by him. The fact that his acts have
given offence TO the AboIitionists, is evil
dence OF his patriotism and loyalty.

ga5- In these Republican times, negroes
are considered better than white men by
persons in most of the high official posi-
items. The BIZ freeing the negroes in the
District of Columbia allows the negroes
to testify, but denies that privilege to the
unfortunate stakeholder And New York
papers tell us that Old Abe's collector there
has discharged a large number of white
meu from ofico and appointed negroes in
their places. Thus it goes
