THE UNITY BARBECUE.

The largest and most enthusiastic Lib
eral demonstration that has been vet
made in Southern Illinois was the barbe-
cue near Unity, in this county, Saturday.
The Liberals who had it in charge may
congratulate themselves on their success.
The audience were from Alexander
Union and Pulaski counties.
In the afternoon the speaking began,
Hon. VIM. j. Allen leading off, We
need not say the speech was an able
effort Mr.. Allen makes no Indifferent
speeches but, on this OCCASION he sur
prised even his most ardent admirers.
His exordum was happy, and he smoothly
passed into n discussion of the present
anomalous condition of politics, eulogiz-
ing the Liberal movement and It's candi-
dates and asserting his belief that in the
success Of this course the best interests of
the Republic are involved. This subject
disposed OF, Mr.. Allen took up the record
Of the present administration and, it is
unnecessary to say, denounced it in fitting
terms and not in the hacknied terms of the
ordinary stump orators, but IN an orig
inal manner blending with his denuncia.
tions vein Of eloquence that captivated
his hearers and drew from them
round after round of applause.
Concerning tho speech Of Mr.. Wal
we need say nothing. 1t was all bis
friends expected "a close discussion Of the
issues Of the day, entertaining as it was
instructive. But unfortunately his speech
was short. He did not arrive until late
hour, and spoke only about fifteen min
utes.
Col. Lowe spoke for a few moments
and the barbecue tapered off with join
discussion between Webb and Pope.

WE have been informed that the small
pox has again made its appearance in the
city. At st. Louis the disease Is spread.
ing rapidly. This fact in connection with
the continued presence of the malady in
Cairo should put our officials upon their
guard. II nothing is done, smallpox
will certainly become epidemic in Cairo
this winter, and we may anticipate that IL.
ravages will be fearful. 1t has been
playing with US for some time, and will
go to work in manner that will alarm
us. Then we shall be active in the work
Of eradicating; but it would be the wiser
policy to act upon the theory that an ounce
Of preventive is worth pound Of cure.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is An enquiry which every one
