Col. Thomas at Bradford

EDITOR OF FREEMAN : The people Of Bradford
were favored last Saturday evening with an ad
dress Of nearly two hours from Colonel Thomas
of West Tailleo, well known throughout the
State as an old radical democrat Of the straightest
sect, and who has been nearly two years in the
seryice as Colonel of the 9Th Vermont. The Town
Hall was crowded to suhOcation.
Colonel Thomas gave vivid account OF bis
experience in rebeldom, aud Of the tcascn OF the
change that had come over him in regard to the
necessity-t to say nothing Of the justice-of
freeing the s. AYES He said he c1Qld 40 more
resist the evidence that he saw lhan could Paul
.sne light from heaven. For several months he
was engaged in returning to TIER masters, the
SLAVES that sought refuge in his camp, and he
found the better he treated the planters the worse
they grew. After he allowed the blacks ref
age the masters used TO come to him to return
them, but not one Of over 5000 that he had at
one time ever returned, simply because they did
not choose, and he would not compel them too.
He says slavery goes down with the rebellion ;
and amen to that lie gave the copperheads
some severe blows, many of whom were his
former political friends. His whole soul is en-
listei to put down the rebellion by all the means
In our power.
lie was enthusiastically checrod during his re-
marks, which were off hand.
Some Of the copr erheads squirmed dreadlully
when be told them thai their course was nothing
more or less than treason. An attempt was
made by one Of the most infamous of them to
disturb the meeting, bu, the Colonel put u damp
err on him that kept him quiet the remainder of
che evening, and he had no more questions to
ask.
The Colonel returns to his Regiment this week
81 to do or die" and will carry with him the
prayers l. d good wishes of all loyal men who
care more for country than party. His appeals
for more men were very stirring, and it is to be
hoped they will not be in vain.
1t is impossible in short letter 10 do justice
to his remarks but suffice 1t to say, that it was
an unconditional union talk, and u talk that no
man with a loyal heart could find fault with.
AS has been said, the children of the present
OF homo traitors are to be pitied for the disgrace
they will have to bear in future life, and if no
other consideration can induce these copperbeadg
90 be decent, some regard for the feelings of pos
terity should have an influence over them.
