C5r a great deal Of the precious time OF
the Copperheads at Springfield Is con-
sumcd in defamation against negroes
coming into the State" TO hear them
shout, ono would think that not less than
CIV thousand month were swarming into
Illinois; when in fact not fifty within three
months have come into the State. But
,hcir opposition is not to the emigration Of
negroes, but free negroes. They would not
raise a word Of objection if thousand
szape negroes were being brought daily into
Illinois. On the contrary, they would re-
1oice at ii, and encourage the importation
by friendly legislation. Sare negroes
would smell to them as fragrant o!
