to the enemy than mule
The only way to close this war is to fight, |
Cruel! I remember we'll shortly after the |
battle Of Buena Vista7 report came into the !
camp that party Of Mexican men, women

Of men, and brought in forty Or fifty mutilated
were butchered By tie Comanches. No one
ever questioned Gen. Taylors goodness Of
heart or Lis skill as q soldier, but he replied:
The Comanehes seem to be fighting On the
same side We are We won't interfere with
them, Now barharism Of the most terrible
character has marked every step Of this war
as Waged by the rebels. I don't say would
call in the Comanches; but do say that it
Wouid not pain me to see the negro handling
a gun, and believe the negro may Just as well
become food for powder as my son."
Gen. Lane does not seem alarmed at the idea
Of insurzeetion among the negroes. Speaking
Of the black sqaires he proposes to enrol for
his crusading knights, he says:
II would like to have the rebels killed by
gentleman. Let tue soldiers 60 on with their
killing, and the squircs go on with their bury
ing. And II the sQuires get guns don't pro-
pose to punish the negro if he kills traitor.
Now mny lose my standing in the Church,
but / tell you take stock in every negro in
surrectfon, and don't care how many there
arc r they don't want to be killed by ne
grocs, let them lay down their arms.''
He thus speaks Of A1r. Stanton:
"The new Secretary Of War has turned over
S1nI1 1.lrf hnn
ated by God himself, compelled that statesman
to publish to the army, 4Heneeforth your bus
iness is to attack, PURSUE and destroy the che
my No more taking Of the oath; no more
swearing in the Fattlesnake. Why, and to my
certain knowledge, the rebels over lerc in Mis-
they arc rattlssnakes yet! The true waay to
close this rebellion is to dctacll the four mill
lion slaves. 4 man says. Lane, if you do
that won't you make them lyee2' Great God!
this Government is destined to be free; God
has 50 )! deterlDiRed'" {ARphnse,)
ssT1c chains arc to be stricken frou, every
limb. Freedom is to be the batt1e-cry from
north to south, from east to west.
"The negroes are much more Intelligent
than had eycr supposed. I have seen them
come into camp Occasionally looking down
as though slaves. Bysa1d-by they begin to
straightep themselves, throw back t11eir Shoul-
{ in the face. They are the most af1ectionate,
| impulsiye, domestic beings in tile world. No
| one loves mother, wife, children, more than
| the negro, and they aFa an altogether smarter
| people than we give them credit for-1 mean
| we Democrats!
*After a long days march, after getting
supper for the 1nen, after feeding and cleaning
| the horses, lhaye seen them ont Just back Of
the tents, drilling. And they take to drill as
q child takes to its mother milk They soon
Learn the step, soon learn the position Of the
| soldier and the manual OF arms. You can see
| that IN tie innefmost fecesses OF their souls
| the devil is in tllcln.' Gen. Washington did
| not Lie when lie said his negroes fought Is well
as white men. Gen. jackson did not lie when
he paid that noble compliment to his black
soldiers at New Orleans. Give them fair
chance, put arms in their hands, and they
will do The balance Of the fighting in this
war.
$50 terrific is the crime Of these traitors, I
care not who involves them in ruin and death.
Let Us teach them treason against this Gov
ernment is crime against God as well as
! 1galnst man. care not whether the punish-
ment is inflicted On the battle field, on the
gallows, OF from the bush by 4 negro. Death
death that crushcs out this terrible rebellion
let our children remember that the punish
t ment Of treason is death. -
The following paragraph docs not eyincc
much respect e. for the rights Of rebels:
"Why sec here, it almost unmans ne3to hea1
people talk about tic constitutional rights
Of States in rebellion, Of States outside Of the
Constitution. The Constitutional rights Of
South Carolina! Great God! wonder how
long it will be before Kansas is called upon to
return fugitive slave to South Carolina, tc
Missouri. When the Kansas man Is call upon
to return slave, let lin remember the live
hundred and seventy dead and wounded at
; the State Of Missouri Do you love Kansas
love your wife and home? Sec to it that Mis-
souri, is free. If you love these things see te
it that there is not slave left there thirty day
hence"
Herein is expressed the spirit OF Kansas

Lane will lead, has been that which he so wel
