More Negroes Coming.

We learn that another lot Of emancipated
negroes, numbering several thousand, have
arrived at Cairo.
This is but tho beginning of the results
we may expect from the emancipation pol
icy inaugurated by the Republicans. This
State will soon be crowded with negroes
who will be compelled to work for half
price or starye; and thus white men and
women will have to work for the same re.
duced pay or find employment elsewhere.
Our Governor aud Republican officials
allow this negro immigration notSitbstaud-
ing they are sworn to support and enforce
the constitution which peremptoriiy de-
clares that negroes shall not Como into the
State.
The only remedy white people have
within their reach to prevent the State
being overrun by vagabond negroes is for
I Them to elect men q efioe she Esspeet

Letter of Judge Cation.

We would invite the attention of our rea-
ders to the letter of Chief Justice Cation of
this State, on the Presidents emancipation
proclamation. which we give in to-day's
paper.
The position of Judge Cation entities his
views to consideration. He is the highest
Judicial officer authorized by our constitu-
ton, and for years, has presided on the
Supreme Court of this State with signal
ability. For the past twenty years be has
not been a member of political couvo ntion
nor has taken any part in the partiznn con
tests since his election to the responsible
station no now fills. Hence his letter
should be read by all, and its suggestions
and sentiments calmly weighed by every
one who desires this horrible war to cease
andthe Union to be restored as it was.
We need not assure our readers shat we
endorse every sentence, word and syllable Of
Judge Caton's letter. It's sentiments will
meet cordial response from every true
patriot in the State. Iudeed, coming from
the source it has, it's words will strike ter
ror into The ranks of the sustainers of the
administration. 1t will form q nucleus
about which oil true friends of the country
can congregate and from which they can
look out upon the commissions 9four unfor-
/ tunate country with the assurance that
/ there are yet some CT our high officials who
respect tho constitution and love the
I Union.
Judge Cation has come out like noble
/ patriot and vindicated the Democracy from
the assaults Of the Abolitionists. His re-
buke of the policy that viii make this war
ten fold more terrible thau it has been as
yet, and nerve the arms Of the rebels to the
adoption of q policy Of desperation and
madness, will cause honest men to return
him their unfeigned thanks Doubtless
the Abolitionists will denounce him in the
strongest terms, but people who believe
in the constitution and in the sup eriority
OF The white race, will adopt his words oil
truth and wisdom as their text and will
show, by their support of true Union men
at the coming election, that no Executive
proclamation will deter them from the ex.
ercise of the right of suffrage in proper
manner. Judge Cations position will be
endorsed by the free electors of Illinois
and his manly expression of opinion vii
encourage the tinid 10 the righIful dis
charge of their duties as American cti,
zens.
Would that more Of our eminent men
would declare for the constitution in Thu
period of great national peril.

A Renegada Rewarded.

The Republican State convention, on the
24th, after nominating the present incum
bent5 for reelection to the Offices of State
Treasurer and Superintendent of Public
Instruction, selected Z. c. Ingersoll little
disappointed one horse politician of Peoria
county, for Congressman at large. This
was done for the purpose of catching Dem
oc,atic votes, but we have no fears that q
single Democrat will be caught by any
such sinking bait, when We have as good
a man as James c. Allen for our canli-
date.

Eg The Democracy of the 18th Con-
gressiOnal district, of this State, at their

nominated Hon. W. j Allen for reelection
to Congress. Thus have the Democracy of

disloyalty endeavored to be fastened upon
Mr.. Allen by his fsndish political oppo-
nents. While he was incarcerated in a
loathsome prison upon false and malig-
nant charge, his constituents were taking
measures to viudicato his reputation by re-
elocting hin to Congress.

The Crops I'm England.

The harvest reports from ell parts Of
England have been received, and the news
IL not regarded with choerfulness by the
iOurnals. The London News, in one of its
s'Trade and Finance" articles, says:
The wheat crop in England generally is
below an average; that most Of the other
crops ere relatively better than wheat but
that the deficiency in the latter will not
thereby te compensated, and that, conse-
Queutly, we shall have to import more than
The usual quantity Of foreign grain be-
tween the present date aud next harvest.
Those persons who have already formed
on opinion that the harvest is q short one,
express gloomy antieipations respecting the
course Of affairs during the coming winter,
more especially having regard to the con-
clifton Of the manufacturing population and
10 the DIR cath Of cotton. Upon this latter
point. as before stated, we fear that the
worst eorebodiugs now entertained will be
realized, for the raw material of the great
est of our manufactures is absolutely not to
be held at any price. The prospect is con.
stantly becoming darker.
France must also import largely, her
harvests having fallen below the average.

i expected it. i regret the proclamation
as an ill-advised measure. 1t is a tub
thrown to the abolition whole, which NAV

the actual status of one negro from what it
would be without it 1t weakens the hands
and lays an additional burden on the
shoulders OF thOSe who are exerting every
energy to support the government in this
war, to uphold and restore the constitution
and suppress this rebellion.
May God, in His mercy to our bleeding
country end endangered constitution. grant
that it may have No worse results than to
meet the disapprOyal Of democrats in the
free States, whose whole souls are engaged
in the prosecution of this war. They can
not be drawn frcm this support. They will
prosecute this war with an undying ener,
gv, while those who have extorted this un-
wise measure from the President will be
clamoring loudly for peace by separation.
Seven months hence you will see these
words INDICATED.
This country is ours to uphold, and this
government is ours to maintain, as much
as they are those of the President. Aud,
although he has done an unwise or uniusti-
fable act, it will not warrant or induce US
to greater efforts to uphold and vindicate
sacred interests. Whatever the a6ministra-
ton may do, this people will defend and
uphold their government and country until
the constitution shall be re-established over
the whole land.

We still have no definite nows from the
seat of war in Maryland.
The Rebels are still engaged in rcbuild-
ing the railroad bridge over the Rappahan-
mock River, and occupy Warrenton with
single regiment This is the nearest point
to Washington at which they have force
Of that size.
Even the fact that they are rebuilding
the aforementioned bridge looks as though
they seriously propose TO dispute with us
the possession of the country the Kappa
hammock and the Potomac, including tho
upper valleys.
The following is substantially the adj
dress to the President adopted By the gu
bernat0rial convention ut Altoona Ii was
written by Gov. Andrew, aud signed BY
Ill except Gov. Bradford. of Maryland
1t expresses, first, a cordal personal and
official respect for the President second, a
determination, under all circumstances, to
support and maintain his constitutional au-
thority, speaking for themselves and the
people of their respective States; third,
Hedging ;beir aid in all measures to bring
the war to an early termination, and that
it should DO prosecuted to Ultimate victory.
unless all the rebels voluntarily return to
their constitutional duty and obedience;
fourth, ccngratulates the President upon
his proclamation, believing it would do
good, as q measure Of justice and souud
policy and finally concluding with a ref
ereuce to those who have fought our bat
ties
In tho conference at Altoona, various
subjects ere discussed which will be sub
mitted verbally to the President and the
Secretary of War. They agreed to rec
commend an army of reserve Of not less
than one hundred Thousand men, to be call
ed cut as sudden exigencies may require,
their term OF service to be twelve mon tbs
unless sooner DISCHARGED.
There is no doubt as to the fact that the
convention was bitterly hostile to Gen.
Mcclellan, Con. Fremont appears to be the
friend CT the party, and important results
relative to our present Conmander-in-C Chief
are expected.
