Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1863-06-24

~ L
League has been appointed to celebrate the
Fourth of July, and $4,000 or 500, 900
will be expended in celebrating the ma
tional anniversary. But rather should
the money be expended to assist in put
ting down the rebellion, and then the
whole land could arise and join us in
keeping grand national jubilee. In
MARYLAND there are $4,000 free colored
men who would be willing to assist IN
our struggle, and they arc willing to fol-
fow John c. Fremont in the armies of
the Republic. The colored people are
looking to General Fremont, and they
are everywhere ready to yield their lives
in defence of the Union, if he will be per-
mitted to lead them. Let an encamp-
ment be prepared in Philadelphia, and
here let an army of 10000 be organized
and sent to Washington. Would that
army, as it marched South, grow larger
or smaller!
"When the rebellion first broke out, a
mulatto boy enlisted in the service of the
United States, in a Wisconsin regiment,
and the General commanding the brigade
in which the boy served ordered a SER
fieant to strip him of his uniform. Now
the Government calls for colored men to
defend it. The world is moving on, and
it will move on until it reaches the ac-
complishment of the grand question Of
freedom in this country
"Let Philadelphia, then, do her duty;
let a committee be appointed; $4,000 or
60, 200 be raised suitable camp be
procured, and three or four regiments of
colored troops organized and equipped for
the service of the government A people
who smite God He has threatened to
smite- The people of the North have
smitten God in the persons of some of His
children Let us, then do justice to those
we have wronged, and give the black
equal privileges with the white"
Here is work for the League! Instead of
celebrating the anniversary of American
Independence in proper manner, the ia
cobinssar called upon to use their money
to give the black man equal privileges
with the white, and in order to carry out
effectually the approved suggestion of the
orator, the League will be compelled to
of negro soldiers. &c To this complexion
have we come at last,''
But Morrow BLowRY, Senator of
Pennsylvania from Erie, was still more
emphatic. Listen to the rawlings of this
fanatic;

John Brown, in his hour of extremity, and,
while in conversation with old John
Brown, in the inside of the prison, Gov.
Wise made a speech on the outside. The
latter said in the course of his speech.

they would have marched into the Capital:
they would have hung the black Repub-

Since the commencement of the rebellion.
he had been in earnest in the cause he had
undertaken. During the last eighty years
this Government had the reputation of be-
ing a Republican one, and has told the op-
pressed of every land that in this country
there was refuge for all the oppressed and
down-trodden. For the last eighty years
we have been a nation of hypocrites.
When we consider the magnitude of
this rebellion, we have accomplished great
results. One of our aims should be at
present to organize colored troops, who
will strike for liberty, for God and for
man. The speaker referred to the organ
ization of the Massachusetts regiments
The object of the nation is now to Or

We are becoming educated by our reverses

blood in Eastern Virginia is up to the bits
OF the horses, and yet we have no victories9
The largest slave market in the world is
there, and women as white as the wives
of any present have there been sold at the
rate of Ii, 10000 year The sooner
we declare to the world that this war is
for freedom the sooner will we reach the
hearts of the people everywhere. Gentle
men OF the north who desire TO perpetuate
slavery will remember that it is already
doomed, and that it is our duty to favor
the going to the war of colored men.
Perhaps talk more strongly on this sub
Ject than is pleasant to many. If SO L

and she worshipped it. 1t ate up every
thing green around her, and it ale her
children, and still she worshipped it with
greater fervor. That heathen mother was
not deeper in the depths of fanaticism
than we have been in regard to slavery
