The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-04-08

The organ of the defeated and repudiated
radical party is now very anxious to stir up
an ill-feeling between the Germans and
lrishmen. Such conduct deserves the Sc
verest apprehension from all good citizens.
No language can be too severe to charac-
terize the baseness of man or newspaper
guilty of such conduct. The theory of our
government is that native born and natural
lied citizens, are all American citizens, emit
tied to the same rights, privileges and voice
In the government, and any man who seeks
10 create prejudice between citizens of diff
lerent nationalities is not q good citizen.
Let all such men be marked and Stunned.

become the owner of $4,000 possessed by a

elsewhere. The desire became so strong
tina. he consented to take the woman also,
which according to legal forms he did. The
$4,000 came into his possession. He soon
afterwards left that neighborhood, and when
we'll out of reach informed his wife that he
was strapped and that he desired to bid her
good by, which he did in the most unfeeling

little more music the people marched up to
Patrick Grants residence and called him
up. Mr.. Grant, in appropriate terms, thank

cheered heartily.

candidates, the people gradually scattered
away to their homes, happy in the knowl-
edge of the fact that Rock Island, notwith-

were once more united and victorious.
