GREAT COUNTY MEETING.
49,
THE ROBINSON MEETING.

The meeting at Babcock,s Hall, on Satur-
day evening, to hear Judge Robinson, was
g great success. The hall will hold about
1900 persons, and it was densely packed, the
gallery being reserved for ladies, of whom
there was brilliant gathering The stage
was thrown open to the rear of the building,
and about 20 chairs placed upon it, where
prominent and well known conservatives &C.
oupied seats. Many also occupied standing
room bshind the scenes. 1t was the largest
and most brilliant audience We have ever
seen in that hall, aud was about as large as
the Oglesby meeting, held that day.
Judge Robinson was introduced by Jacob
Norris, Esq, chairman of the meeting, and
was greeted with loud applause. In his
opening remarks he dwelt at some length up.
on the fact that all the people are interested
in learning which is the best policy for the
country that he believed all to be deslrous
of doing what they think is best for the
whole country, and he urged that all should
calmly and without prejudice examine the
principles to be passed upon at the coming
election. He then proceeded to q clear and
lucid discussion of the principles of the two
parties, the conservatives and the radicals
the acts OF the radical congress the pro.
posed amendments to the constitution the
subjects of tariffs and taxation, closing with
g most eloquent and thrilling appeal for the
Union and the Constitution of our fathers
The speech was frequently interrupted with
loud applause, rosrs oflaughser, az he ex-
posed some of tbs absurdities of the radical
party.
Judge Robinson reviewed the speech of
Gov. Oglesby, showing it's inconsistencies
and illogical conclusions, and particularly
that part of it where Gov. Oglesby said that
he "would raise hundred thousand men and
march to Washington and twist Andy John
cons neck off" We strongly believe that, if
Gov. Oglssby had been at Babcock's Hall
and heard Judge Robinson's comments and
heard the roars OF laughter from 1000
throats or the thunders of applause from four
times that number of feet and hands, he
would have wished he had never made so
foolish statement.
At the close of Judge RobiDson's speech
three tremendous cheers were given for him ;
three more for Andrew johnson, and three
more for the Union and the Constitution.
We have never seen q meeting in Rock Is
land which gave so much satisfaction TO all
as the great meeting in Babcock's Hall, Sat
urday night.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The question of negro suffrage is different
ly discussed in different latitudes by radical
speakers and writers In come portions of
New England and localities like the Western
reserve in Ohio, where great many people
think negro Is az good as any other man
and q good deal better than white men gen.
erall y, radicals declare the great issue to be
negro suffrage. In other localities where
they think the people are not vet educated
TO bell eve negro is superior to q white man.
they deny the issue is negro suffrage. Mas.
ssohusetts Ben Butler, the man who goes
with the crowd out Of which he expects to
realize the most money, the man whose bril-
liant military career Gen. Grant grasses with
one scrach of the pen, the man who proved
himself a traitor to the north in the Charles
ton convention, opposed the patriot Douglas
and hung his fortunes on JEFF. Davis coat
tail-this creature is profuse in his declara.
tions in favor of negro suffrage. The New
York Independent declares with emnhasis
that no man viii again be president without
asking permission of the negro. The main
point aimed at and kept constantly in view
in the lats Philadelphia convention, by
southern representatives whose home has
been in the north until recently, Is we'll as
by Fred Douglas, Anna Diekinsons, and othe,
influential representatives In that convention,
was the right of negro suffrage. Delegates
in that convention who wished to be under
stood as in favor of negro suffrage in quiet
way sbus not publicly, because they feared

can majority in that city was ll,75s. On
the 9th instant, the vote foots up, radical 81, :

ty of 11,759 in reduced to 4,469. If not a
substantial victory, this is very profitable

be swinging round the circle. She will be
all right in the presidential contest.

DECATUR. Ill, Oct. 2. 1866.

EDITOR STATE REGISTER For the past five years
there has been no warmer supporter of the admins
tration Of Abraham Lincoln than myself My sup
port of him was 30 some extent controlled by my
knowledge of him. l have known him from his in
fancy, and was Intimately associated with him dur
ing his whole career, up to the day of his death In
my boy days was his teacher and, when
president, he recognized me as his friend, and as
his relation Knowing him thus intimately it is
but natural that should know something of his in
tentions in regard to the settlement of the grave
questions that were submitted to his control. His
whole presidential career was a continued struggle
against the rapacity, the cruelty and the reckless
of the radical faction of the great Union party
that faction led by Wade, Butler, Phillips Greel-
ey, Fred. Douglass, and their confederates; and
whenever any movement was inaugurated that prom
sed speedy overthrow of the rebellion the radical
class imposed upon him conditions before they
would pledge their support or the support of their
representatives IN congress, that compelled him eth
er to sacrifice the country or to yield to their de-
mands. have private evidence that he was in this
way compelled to inaugurate policies that were re-
pugnant to the dictates both of his judgement and
his heart Unfortunately for the country, at the
hour when his power was complete, when he did not
require their aid to accomplish the restoration of
| peace, the hand of assassin removed him, and

and his honesty, and the factous partisan lash could
not have destroyed his power with the people. ]
hope that every honest supporter of President Lin
eoln-every man who fought in the field or who bat
