WOH1u HQS0cale AnQ FOIe LOT 6ucA bill IN Z
free Stnte, is the worst dirt~eater that cysff
came into this world. A negro is either man
or brute. II the former, the men who vote
for such Il bill, never can come within millions
Of leagues OF the kingdom Of heaven. Ifthe
negro il brute, the Legislator who advocates
such bi'i. might; simply be indicted for cru
man made in Gods image in this bill Is de-
clnred by the statutes Of the State when ap-
piled to animals, to be q criminal ofense,
Oh democracy, how many sins are COM
mitted in thy nameY How many outrages on
humanity wilt thou have to answer for. Hell
itself does not and cannot contain more dia-
bolical measure than this!
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
THREATENED nEpuDIATIoS.
In the Senate Joint resolution WAS intro
duced by Mr. Green Of Massac, instructing
The State Treasurer to discontinue the pay,
ment Of funds from the Treasury until further
notice on the subject. The passage Of the
measure was strongly urged by Mcssrs.
Greene, Vandeyeer and others, and very ably
opposed By Mr. Mack from Kankakee.
! hare charity enough to suppose that those
who passed the resolution we're unaware Of
the deplorable consequences which must nee
cessariIy have followed the adoption Of the
same. The effect, among others, would have
been to stop the payment Of interest now due
on our State bonds. A fearful decline in tho
value Of State banks would have been ineyita-
Bile and our home currency, based, as 1t is, ex-
clusiycly upon those bonds must necessarily
have shared the same fate, and another cur
rency panic, empty1ng the pockets Of the peo-
pie and filling those Of stock jobbers, would
have been Inevitable

l. A special dispatch states letters from illinois
state that the rebels are liberal In their offers to
dom, from taxation. Il she viii join thc South.
! The Wcst as get replies to this By sending $4,000
her choicest sons to open the navigation Of the
. Memberaof Congress west ofthcwabash declared
yestera3y and today that ship canal bct,yean the
iaasa naa Is ,potisa
latch the North from the Union, and that It may
saccccd unless provision Is made for getting the
portaton that shan not eat np its 1aiue." - >'S
| There is much truth IN both the above
statements. The rebels are working Heavier
and earth and the other place to seduce the
Northwest from its allegiance, and are aided
in this work By traitors in this State. As tc
the statement that the Illinois and Michigan
Canal enlargement Is 4 political as vel
a truer one made, It is The great politi
cal necessity Of the agc. It would afford ;
great outlet to the bulky products Of thu
Northwest, and silence the carpings Of thost
Who assall the railroad interest as great
New England monopoly, which. however falst
it may be, i having q great effect upon th,
masses, Of the people -
