From the Chicago Times.
Advice 10 Western Negroes.

To those unfortunate loyalists of
Michigan and Ohio, who are of the col
ored persuasion, and who have been re-
fused the inestimable right to vote for
white men for office, we have a word to
say, with reference to thepromising State
of Iowa. Iowa is a young and thriving
State. It's hills are few, its prairies are
productive, its lead and coal mines in
exhaustible, and its game abundant. 1t
is the New Jerusalem to which should
gather themselves to oppressed Africans
OF the two States above mentioned.
Let the colored loyalists take our ad =,
vice, and pack up their busters, their
white washing and boot -blacking brush
es and start for the Hawkeye State.
There will they have recognition, rs men
and brethern, rs women and sisters.
They can roam over its prairies in bound
less freedom. Its smokc-houses are full
of juicy bacon; possum lurk in its wood
ed heights hen-coops are plethoric, and
are never locked at nights, as in the Gus
tom among more suspicious people.
Iowa is the paradise of the down trod-
den and dusky descendant of Ham. Let
them 60 thither singly, in couples, in
scores, by fifties and hundreds. Let
them roll thitherward like an ocean of
ink. The grand young State has opened
wide its brawny arms and says to buck
niggers, to wenches, to pickaninnies, to
eyerythinr black. tan. black and tan.
saddIe-colored, molasscs tinted: Come !!
Rush, oh Africa. into these expectant
arms, as the bride flies into those Of her
waiting husband
Iowa is chivalrous young State Let
its chivalry be duly appreciated. Let
its population be swelled by sooty
streams of immigration, until it be cram
med with the last niger that can find
room upon its soil, and until there is not
left an interstice sufficiently large enough
for fivc-pound pickaninny.

Instructions from Secretary Seward to
the American Consul at Panama, under
date Of October 2Sth, directs him to adj
monish American citizens that they have
no claim to protection from this Gov
ernment if they take part in civil wars
of Panama; also, instructing him to de-
mand protection for United States cit
izens, and prompt redress and indemni-
ty for any injuries received; also, that
he shall insist that United States citizens
should not be required to submit to
forced loans or perform military duty in
the service of either party. The naval
commanders have been ordered to afford
full protection to every citizen in danger

e,Irsulale ,onr County Paper,

The Statesman thus speaks a fact
which should be needed by every Dem
ocrat in Ohio.
In every county throughout the State
Democrats should take immediate steps
to increase the circulation Of their local
Democratic papers, and then to give cir
culation TO faithful and efficient papers
published elsewhere. This done now,
and it don't So much matter when the
Convention is held. The Democratic
press of the State will hold the Demo
cratic party together and convince the
opposition that the Democratic party is
not dead It's through the press that
the Republican party have strengthened
themselves. They did not do much in
the late campaign; but they took the
precaution early in the year to extend
the circulation'of their newspapers. The
township politicians throughout the
State did this, and when fairly in the
campaign they grat,ntously distributed
large numbers of newspapers If the
Democracy would succeed they must
attend to this matter better than they
have heretofore done. .g ~
