When aud how did il come about that this

wish had the power of putting my opin-
ion upon your late proposition into reads-
bic form: but, unfortunately [ am not gifted
10 that way. But, however, L can say | agree
with you upon the negro question. The Rock
Island Argus observations on the question
seem to me simple and easily understood,
and | fully agree with them. 1t certainly
does appear 10 me, if the negre question
could be- disposed of by giving the negro a
vote, 1T would be better to do go. Then the
black man would sink into insignifcance,
and not be thought of or talked of, and other
matters, of much more importance to the
country, could and would be discussed.
1t is the law OF this republic that the ma
jority should rule: that mobs and numbers
and not intelligence, should rule. Then why
object 10 increasing the number 4? Ii quanti-
ty is good, let US have more Of it. What is
there for any one to fear in the darkeys rot-
ing? | see nothing to fear. | am sure they
will vote as intelligsnty as many that now
vote.
My opinion is, there are too many who vote
already; but if mere NUM- Der is good why,
ii is better to increase il.
The republican party have fought them
selves into office on the niger, and now your
doctrine will fetch them to the point. They
don't like it it taken away their capital,
and leaves them nothing to talk about, for
never heard or read of any principle they
have,-it has been nothing but bigger for
years past.
There Is an old saying. "Give q thief rope
enough and he will hang himself" Now,
the republican party have been pulling the
rope with Niger at the end of il. and the
democrats have been pulling against them
You propose for the democrats TO let 90 the
rope and let them ali fall from their own
straining. 1t would be the best thing that
could be done. Let them fall in their own
pit.
In conclusion, hope all democrats will
soon see thas 1t is bstter to get rid of this
everlasting niger. Ga, Whist q loss will
that be to the radicals What Can they
talk about then, to get up c,mmotion! for
they will have q something TO dispute
have it: Ii will be "Woman's Rights.
You see if an not right,

GIVING UP GEN. GRANT.

The radicals are in q most unhappy mood,
just now, at discovering that General Grant
approves of the Philadelphia convention
The Chicago Republican, speaking Of the
ceremonies at the White House, on the recep-
tion of the proceedings of the National Union
Convention, says;
The feature of the reception which will
create most surprise is. the presence and APP
parent sympathy of General Grant, who has
heretofore protested to be in full sympathy
with congress. The president would natur-
ally wish to make show OF having secured
his cooperation. But it would he equally
natural that Gen. Grant, II he disapproved
the object of the meeting, should decline to
be present. The cheers for Grant are omin-
0us
