Mere 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 pei
icy inaugurated by the Republicans. This
State will soon be crowded with negroes
who will be compelled to work for half
price or starve; 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 notwithstaud-
ing they are sworn to support and enforce
the constitution which peremptorily de-
clares that negroes shall not ceme into the
State.
The only remedy white people have
within their reach to prevent the State
being overrun by vagabond negroes is for
| Them to elect men - Office shs respect
the constitution.

A ReneGade Rewarded.

The Republican State convention, on the
Oath, 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

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. lie 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 member of political couve ntion
nor has taken any part in the partizan con
tests since his election to the responsible
station he 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
and-the Union to be restored as il was.
We need not assure our readers ,hat we
endorse every sentence, word and syllable Of
Judge Cation IS letter. It's sentiments will
meet cordial response from every true
I patriot in the State. Indeed, coming from
the source it has, it's words will strike ter
/ roT into The ranks of the sustainers Of the
administration. 1t will form q nucleus
abou; which oil true friends of the country
can congregate and from which they can
look ont upon the commissions 9four unfor.
tunate country with the assurance that
there are yet some CT our high officials who
respect the constitution and love the
Union.
Judge Cation has come out ike noble
patriot and INDICATED the Democracy from
the assaults Of the Aboitionists. His re-
buke of the policy that will make this wal
ten fold more terrible than it has been as
yet, and nerve the arms of the rebels to ths
adoption of q policy of desperation and
madness, will cause honest men to return
him their unfeigned thanks. Doubles:
the Abolitionsts will denounce him in thu
strongest terms, but people who believe
in the constitution and in the sup eriority
of The white race, will adopt his words o
truth aud wisdom as their text and will
show, BY their support of true Union mer
at the coming election, that no Executiv,
proclamation will deter them from the ex
ercise of the right of suffrage in a prope
manner. Judge Cations position will b,
endorsed by the free electors of Illinois
and his manly expression of opinion vii
encourage the tinid in the rigbtful dis
charge of their duties as American citi
zens.
Would that more of our eminent mel
would declare for the constitution in thi
period of great national peril.

May God, in His mercy to our bleeding

meet the disapproval Of democrats in the
free States, whose whole souls are engaged
IN the prosecution of this war. They can
not be drawn from this support. They will
prosecute this war with an undying ener,
gy, 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 SEQ 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 And,
although he has done an unwise or uniusti-
fable act, il will not warrant or Induce US
to greater efforts to uphold and vindicate
sacred interests. Whatever the administra-
ton may do, this people will defend and
uphold their government and country until

The Crops I'm England.

The harvest reports from ell parts Of
England have been received, and tho news
IL not regarded with cheerfulness by the
iournals. The London News, in one of its
i'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 lie compensated, and that, conse-
0uently. we shall have to import more than
the usual quantity of foreign grain be-
tween the present date and next harvest
Those persons who have already formed
an opinion that the harvest is short one,
express gloomy anticipaticns 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 soeebpdiugs 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.

We still have no definite news from the
seat of war in Maryland.
The Rebels are still engaged in rebuild
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 a force
! Of that size.
Even the fact that they are rebuilding

The position of McClellan's army has
not been materially altered since yester-
day.
A rumor is current here that Harper's
Ferry rs still in possession Of the rebels
This is untrue, for there are no rebel forces
or piekets within seven miles of that
place.
The proceedings Of the military commits
sion now IN session here have not been
made public. 1t is not probable that the
present commission will inquire into any
thing but military offences. The cases of
political prisoners will not be disposed of
for some time.
The rebel forces are now in yery bad
position. They are demoralizqd and disap-
pointed with the result of their trip into
Maryland. The nights are now cold. and
the rebels begin to suffer from lack ofblan-
kets and clothing severely There is no
doubt that, if attack in front bv Mcclellan.
they will be defeated, as our morals was
never better than now.
