consistent with their profession that they give
no countenance to q government which is based
they fill no Office, and vote for no others to fill any

THE BLACK PATRIOT OF BUNKER HILL

The Post gives some interesting facts connected
with the celebrations Of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The junior editor Of that papor is tie authority on
every thing that relates to that immortal combat,
and if any one wishes to read up on the subject,
preparatory to the next celebration, we can consci-
entiously commended his history of the Siege OF
Boston as the best work on the subje ct. ltis rath
er odd, however that any Democrat should be SO
enthusiastic an admirer of an action in which n
black man actually had tie audacity to sheet down
a white man of the very first respectability.-
Among the american soldiers who particularly
distinguished themselves at Bunker Hill was a col
ored man, named Salem. lie is said to have shot
Major Pitcairn, the man who gave the first order
to fire in the war of the Revolution. In the final
attack on the redoubt, Pitcairn was among the
foremost of the English who mounted on the
American works, when Salem, who does not seem
to have been n peaceful man on that day, in spite
of his name, shot him through the body. We do
not find any mention of Salem and his deed in Mr..
F~rothingham's work. though it may be that it es
capped us as our examination has been rather hur-
ried.
1t was an awfully presumptuous act on the part
of Salem to shoot a white man, and if there had
been any Taneys about in those days, he must have
been called to account. Major Pitcairn left eleven
children, and if any one of his descendants should
come to this country, he might soon be converted
into an American citizen, and rise to high office,
while a descendant of Mr.. Salem, according to Jus
tice fancy and most of his associates, can never
rise to the position of citizenship. All peoples
have been more or less IN Just and ungrateiul, but
if Supreme Court law is to be taken as the law OF
the land, we are not only the most unjust and un
grateful Of nations, but the most foolish, also.
There were several co)ored men at Bunker Hill,
in tho american ranks, besides Mr.. Salem. Mr.
Nell mentions the names of Titus Coburn, Alexan
der Ames and Barzillai Lew, all of AnIover, and
that Of Cato Have, of Plymouth. All these mer
received pensions. What a waste Of money tC
ray it to persons who were rot citizens Of the
country and WHOM We are told, never could have be
come citizens, had they lived to the age of Mcthuse
lah For what aid they fight? That a government
might be here established which should place them
out of the pale of humanity, by solemn decision!
The idea that they and many others of their race
fought to make their condition worse than il
was under the English dominion, would be ex
quisitly absurd if IL were not diabolically wicked
II they were deceived, what are we 10 think e
their d~eceivers, who we're no less personages than
our revolutionary ancestors?-BoSton Trareler.
