For if adopted citizens are foolish enough
to sit down in secret counsel with men who

SenatOr Richardson's remarks
We give, in to days paper, the remarks
of Senator Richardson on the CONSUMPTION
bill. during it's tendency before tie
senate.
AS will be perceived, our noble Senator
took the trae ground, but the fanatiCaI
majority needed not his timely warningq.
They passed the measure, as we'll as the
other abolition measures over his solemn
protests. That the CONSUMPTION bill is un-
constitutional, is as clear ss aoythiag can
be, and we trust that it will be so decided
before the efforts to enforce it shall pro-
duce revolution and civil war in the loyaI
North. The people are down upon this
abolition scheme to make poor men do the
lighting, while the rich can stay QUITO the
range of secession bullets by the payment
OF three hundred dollars.
The people of Illinois will sustain Sena>
tor Richardson 90 long as be continues to
stand BY their constitutional righss; aud
they have reason TO be proud of his efforts
during the late Congress. .a r5
