Commentary on the Dixon Telegraph.

Thursday, September 2, 1858.

It must be that the editor of the Telegraph does not read the Freeport Journal, or that he does not regard it as a "republican paper." Which is it? For the benefit of the Telegraph we give an extract from the Journal, as follows:

"We believe the negro is human – he has a soul – he has intellect – and in so far as the rights of suffrage or an other right of citizenship is concerned, he should be placed on a an equality with the rest of mankind."
