At the opening Of the Legislature this morn

Which has Conc Over

A German republican paper in s.; Louis,
Of the sangulnary hue says that President
johnson has gone completely over TO the dem.
ocratlc party Some of the negro suffrage
party about here charge the democratic party
with having gone over to the president. Lei
them decide this matter a. they may. it is
pretty evident that the democratic parry n-S
the president have met and occupy the onIy
Just aud feasible position. How they got
there is not material 10 the issue That thew
are there Is the fact over which we should re-
ioice. When a successful charge i made on
battery, the victors are not usually cate.
chIscd ~ to whether they took it in front.
flank or rear. That they have taken AT a \.
is usually considered satisfactory Peoria
National Democrat.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1865-09-20

Major Connolly was chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions and wrote and reported the
platform. Capt. Knox was delegate in the
convention and was and is thoroughly identi-
fed with the democracy,-while one. third OF
the convention was made up of soldiers. If
they are not, equally with Burton III. Cook.
identified with the democracy, we are at a
loss to know why. They certainly do not
ask to be placed in any other position. and
we do not think any one bu, negro logician
can perceive any difference
The negro organ closes its very scattering
charge, by saying it will reproduce portion
of the democratic record las given at Chica-
go IN the national convention, and then il
proceeds to quote a column of pretended ex-
tracts from the sayings of persons who were
not in the Chicago convention all This is
negro logic.

THE SKULKERS.
contrary

The negrotes of this county tried the same
cowardly game that their brethren did in
Wisconsin,-they dared not assert their prin-
ciples. Speaking of the Wisconsin state con-
vention, the ElkhOrn Wis Independent Ia
republican paper) says:
The platform adopted by the Union state con-
Ventlon we regard as ambiguous, and cowardly.-
Il is received here with codness and disgust
The Racine (Wis) 4dvocatc, another re-
publican paper, says:
'sThe republican press OF the country have in-
dulged many sHeers at the disposition frequently
evinced by the democracy to dodge an aVowal OF
principles when the leaders knew their principles
to be unacceptable to portion of the people
The republican party OF Wisconsin has placed 1t
self in the same unenvable position
That's just what they have done in this
of their candidates for cou SP29 the principles
acceptable to the people and therefore they
pursue the cowardly game of attempting TO
deceive the people bg avowing princip plies
at all. To come ous fairly and manfully and
support the policy of Andy johnson, the
democrats do, would beat them By throwing
off the radical negro-w orshippers. To come
out square for negro suffrage and against
johnson would beat them by throwing of
the conservative republioans-so they nomin-
ate Degro-5utrage candidates, every one of
whom is ha:er OF Andy johnson, aud re-
fuse to avow any principles at all. Tat is
the cowardiy position of the repu 0ican party
of Rock Island county. They are, by the
action of the court house clique-their lead
ers and controllers-a party without princi-
pies, and carrying on the present canvass
with no higher or patriotic object than to
grab the offices They have no principles
but Office aid plumber

NEGRO LOGIC.

The logic OF the negro suffrage organ is
overpoweriDg. It thinks Burton H. Cook
Hoses the respect of the people and puts him
sell on level with those who have been fight
lng the government for tour years, and makes
himself a partner in their guilt" by running
as the democratic union and administration
candidate for county clerk! And it says:
Col Williams had too much self respect to ac-
cept nomination of a party which has such a
VIGOROUSLY bad record. He was nominated for
the same Office for which Mr. Cook ie now run
ming Major Connolly, in advance of nomina-
tlon deciiued being considered a candidate, and
gave as his reason, TO a democrat, we are in
formed, that it would ''injure his prospects for
congress" Capt. Charles III. Knox was also nom
mated Tor clerk, but refused to allow his name to
be used in that connection. He knew his party
mad bad record and he not willing to sac
rlnce his future prospects by accepting defeat
on such terms.
This is negro logic, Col. Williams does
not thank the negro suffrage organ for an.
nouncing sentiments he does not entertain
and he does not perceive that being capdi
date of 6 party Identifies man any mora
pOintedly with the party than in acting as
president of its county convention and max
ing strong speech in defence of It's princi
Piles.
Major Connolly, who wrote and reported
the resolutions of the convention, has, in a
published card, nailed the base coin of the
negro organ to thu counter
And Capt. Knox expressly stated in the
convention that the reason ne declined to be
q candidate for the nomination was that he
was going to remove to Chicago and go into
business there within a month. This was
the only reason assigned.
Neither of these gentlemen were nominated
at all, as the negro paper falsely asserts.-
Two informal ballots were taken but the only
nomination made by the convention for clerk
was Burton FL. Cook.
COL Williams was president of the conven- |
zion and made strong democratic speecb |
ana urged the nomination of Burton TT coot

BAILEY DAVENPORT,s TAXES.

The Union says that Bailey Davenport
owes the county So 900 and if he is elected
treasurer the county will be out of pocket
just that amount.
The books of this county show that Mr..
Davenpors's taxes are ali paid-they are all
marked paid, on the books, and we offer any
man $4,000 to show to the contrary. There
are no back taxes against him on the county
books, and therefore the charge of the Union
is not true. If anybody wants to win hum
dred dollars from US, let them show TO the
contrary.
