THE Niger HAS ARRIVED.
EDGINGToN, March 6, 1856.

EDGINGToN, March 6, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR For sometime past our peo'
people have heard that our circuit
clerk, DR.. Bowman, whose family resides in
this township, was going to send a negro wo
man home for Il servant in his family. The
woman has arrived, and her arrival has crea
ted quite a sensation among our people, who dc
not quite like the idea of popuating our town
with that class Of people, contrary to the laws
of our state. We don't quite understand how
the circuit clerk, who has sworn to support
and obey the constitution and laws of this
state, can be permitted to colonize our town
with negroes.
II every officer and soldier in the union ar.
mics should also get a negro, no matter how,
and send home, we should soon have an i'm.
mense negro population which must be sup
ported somehow, and il they should not be
able to take care Of themselves, which is very
probable, or if they should refuse to work
they would of course have to be supported bv
the county.
The fact is, our people are good deal dis
satisfied with this effort at colonizing our
state with negroes, and they don't like it that
county officer, who has sworn TO obey tbs
laws, should be the first to disobey them.
Yours respectfully,
T,.,.,-
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-03-11

The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1862-03-11

Quite number Of prominent republicans
in the city and county, have expressed then
hearty approval Of our review Of Mr.. Hitch
cocks abolition speech. They have also ex
pressed hope that we shall have no more
such violent abolition trades. They very
truthfully say that such speeches are doing
more to prolong the war than any secession
speeches which could be made.
While Mr.. Lincoln is doing all he can to
convince the people oftho slayeholding states
that the people Of the north are not their enc
mics, and that their rights are perfectly safe
in the union, Mr. Hitchcock and those who
sanction his views, are heaping the most vile
and opprobrious epithcts upon all slaychoId.
ers, unfortunately, no mdttcr Tiethcr they
are uRion men or not. If Mr.. llichcock's
speech was to fall into the hands Of some
southern editor which i. not at all improba-
BILE, it would be repubIishcd and pointed TO
as evidence Of the feelings Of the northern
people towards the SOUTH and thus an argu.
ment would be put in their hands to proong
the war indefinitely.
Mr.. Lincoln il honestly cndeav)ring to con-
vince the Shareholders that we wage no war
against their institutions and that we DO not
wish to interfere with their local and domc-t-
ic affairs in any manner. Yet large proper
ton OF the men who voted for him, are doing
all IN their power to countcract his efforts,
