The Issue, a nd the Danger

Such traitor AbolitionIsts as Loveioy.
Greeley, Sumner, Jim Lane, Andrew &
Co., who manage the Republican party,
don't want the Union preserved except it
De On terms that will enable their party
to control all the Offices. They know that
if slavery be abolished, and the Northern
States opened to immigration of negroes,
in time they could be enfranchised when
their hold upon power would be secure
Hence these leaders will submit to no terms
for restoration Of the Union unless the
negroes be freed.
Democrats, such is the issue-and such
the danger. Never before in the history Of
the country has such gloomy prospect
presented itself to the mind of the true
patriot. The constitution is assailed from
within and without, aud all those inesti-
mabie rights and privileges which have
been the pride and boast of every Ameri
can citizen for nearly a century are in
danger of being swept away perhaps for
ever.
Freenen of viii county, if you would
meet the issue, aud assist to turn aside the
danger, vote for Alexander Starne, John
P. Brooks, James C. Allen, 7. L. Dickey,
Charles E. Boyer, George W. Collins,

From the Quincy Herald
LabOring Men Scarce--Anoth-
er Abolition HumbuS

The abolition tories are resortinp 10 +.
subterfuge which they seem to regard as
very cunning, with a view to reconcile the
people to the importation of free negroes
into the state. You will hear them saving
about the streets that white laboring men
are very scarce. They want little wood
sawed, or little something else done, and
they pretend they caE't find white men to
do it:-hence, they say, there is an abso>
lutte necessity that they should have ne
groes brought into the state to do this
work for them. Like everything else that
comes from the abolitionists, there is a
gond deal Of humbug about this sort Of
talk 1t is not because white laborers are
scarce, that they want negroes brought in
to the state, but it is because the price of
labor has gone up. Labor is the eQuiva-
lent of gold. The one represents the 9th
er. Gold has gone up. and labor has gene
ur in in proportion. The poor laboring
man used to saw q cord Of wood for eighty
cents, sometimes less. Now he ,manis
one dollar or more for that service. The
abOlitionists are not willing to pay the in
creased price of labor. That is the reason
they want free negroes brought into the
state. 1t is because the negroe can be en-
pl1yed at much less figures than white
men can. Yet the price of white labor il
no more than it should be. Two or three
years az when the white laborer would
saw cord OF wood for eighty cents. be
could buy as much goods al the store IS he
can now buy with his dollar. While the
laborer charges more for his davis work
than he used to, it should be remembered
that other people charge him more for
what he is compelled to buy. The real
complaint Of the aboliiionists is-not what
white laborers are scarce, for there are
plenty of them, but-that the price of white
labor is greater than the price of black
labor. Ot course. It'll not dsnied that the
negroes will work for less than white men
can afford to work for. It is f,r that rea.
son that the abolitionists prefer negro
labor to white labor. They would bring
free negroes into the state for the purnose
Of reducing the wages Of labor. White
men cannot afford to have their WAGES re-
duced. They cannot live upon less than
thew nDw get, for their labor. The resuI,
is, that IT the negroes are brought here.
white men will either be thrown out of
employment. or compelled to wook for less
than they can live upon. This. is rlain
statement of the whole matter The rems,
dy at the polls. If they fail to exercise II
there, there is no help for them. If thew
vote the republican ticket, they;yote to
bring free negro labor into ccmpetition
with white labor, and the alb olitionists and
negroes will crush out the free laboripg
white men. That's the whole story.

Stop Thief.

The Joliet Republican says that one of
our candidates for the Legislature, Charles
Z. Boyer has circulated Republican tickets
with bis name on them.
This charge is made against Mr.. Boyer
to turn attention frcm their frauds, They
wish to draw attention from their own ras-
calities. Jchn Reid, .he Republican can
didate for sheriff, is the man who has been
playing this game. He has flooded the
country with Democratic tickets with his
name on them instead of that Of George
Monroe. This city is full of such tickets !;
and our friends must keep sharp lookout
or some Of them will ind their way into
the ballot boxes through mistake.
This charge against Mr.. Boyer by the
Republican, is the old game of the rogue.
