nishes the following argument in favor of the
Presidents Abolition proclamation and against
cOlOniZatOn:
lst. The American Is becoming wear after year
more nervous; the negro race in the cours Of time
will counteract this tendency. and supply him with
muscle through AmaIgamation.
%. We need the negro for his moral attributes
his faith. his docility. his patience
3D.. IL is the negro race who will naugurate the
millennium. "The Lord hath need Of IL for
higher purpose than to administer to our
national uses. The black il natural Chris

The supply Of counteracting material is now
daily being sent forward into Illinois from Cairo
there being no objection on the part OF those in
authority They, too, no doubt, have had reye-
Iations of the coming millennium to be inaugura-

Democratic Bar bacue at seymour.

One of the largest and most enthusiastic con-
ventions of this year came of at Seymour on
Tuesday last The vast assemblage, estimated
at five thousand people. was called to order by
that sterling Democrat S. w. HOLMES, Esq, of
Jackson county. Gen SPANN of Jennings was
chosen President. and Major MOONEY, of Jack
son, Vice President. The exercises were
opened by an able and effective speech
from OSCAR b. HoRD, Esq, after which
Hon. NJ. n. SHIELDS, Marshal of the day, formed
the crowd into line and marched them to a beau
tiful grove south of the town, where bOuntiful
and excellent dinner was prepared and in waiting
and in the meanwhile the band played some soul
stirring and patriotic airs. After dinner, Hon.
JOSEPH E. MCDONALD delivered an argumenta-
tive and telling speech. He was followed by
Colonel Cyrus L. DUNHAM in eloquent and
powerful vindication of the Democratic party, its
principles and pol cy In referring to the accusa-
ton OF 'disloyalty" charged upon the Democratic
