Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1871-1872, 1872-04-15

Southern men are now discussing the
presidential campaign 10 connection with
the cotton crop. The Grant party will
make grand effort to carry she southern
states. The negroes will be courted,
dattered and bribee by those who know
how childish they are in intellect, and how
easily captiva.ed by tinsel show and fawu-
ing words. A great deal Of money will be
spent by the Grant party in the south dur
ing the coming campaign. Mass meetings
and barcbscues will be held on large scale
aud in countless numbers. And, as the hea,
Of the Ampaigu comes in the midst Of the
cotton picking season, it is feared that .
great portion Of the crop will be los: through
the want of hands to take care of it. The
colored folks, with money given by designiDg
politicians, and while there 10 . chance to
carry flags. attend barbarcuss, drink free
liquor and have glorious time generally
will not feel disposed to toll in the cotton
fields on ordinary day wages.
