We suljo;n brief sketch Of his remarks, en-.
bracng few oxlrac5s:
lie is glad she gentleman from Kentucky
i,.J fall IL
be lingering relic Of that dynasty that s.,
long tyranu!z.d over this country, and il is
iitling perhaps that be should oppose this be-
neficent measure. The gentleman had attrib-
uted TO him sentiment he never entertained
and never, exp cssed-that lie had abandoned
his Faith III the ability Of the white men Of the
North TO crush out this rebellion.
" have been averse to the employment OF
negroes; thought there were loyal VIII tte men
III The South OH whom we could rely L. that
tAnS lar, we have been Disappointed; but we
ind abundance Of loyal black men Whv not
uSe them The gcn,lrinan asks how can we
exchange them if they are taken prisoners
and speaks as ii Of ring to exchange black
man tor a white one would be great outrage
Oh the white population. l tell Tn. gen 'lemun,
eYIden'iy thinks quite personal, that black
mln who t5his for my country is better than
: aiy "nic man who fights against her! Olc
would suppose that if tic gentleman's son was
lighting IN this war lie would rather have him
shot by ii white traitor Than saved by black
loyal soldier! sir, haze u son in this var
ati, am eniirely willing that back mau
snail beip him su1dle tie wai.e reb-Is.
" The gentleman, as ] understand him, pro
, poses 70 int oduce a resolution to inq1re in;o
the Conduct Of Gen. Bdter at New Orleans
| hope when he does hat he will also extend
his inquiry into the conduct Of GIN jackson
at New Orleans" Aud with u rapid summary
lie runs oysr the other instances in which in
our history negroes have done right gallant
service for the Blg
s. But the genllcmln srys the employment OF
these people viii turn this into b4rbaro1s
war. Is it possible That these people, who for
generations have been under the human zing
civi IL ng, Cbri5taHzing influence of slavery
are still such bl bariaas that we cannot safely
put arms in their hands without their commit
ling blrbprous ou'rag' S upon their ben,fcent
masters.
Z" No, sir. Let these men. il they will, shoot
down The rebels arrayed against oar brothers
QUE sons, AID our friends. If you do not
choose to have your sons oilgd by such means
/ do choose to hive mine. My son was ia the
battle of Vicksburg. and there black men
fought in the ranks Of our enemies. Shall we
not match them with their own weapons? Or
is the b'ood Of our sons cheaper than the mar
ket value Of your slaves?
But the rebels shoot down negro prisoners,
and the gentleman asks what will you do ?
Make the white traitors answer in blool for
blood Every man WHO fights Tor our cause
must be treated as a soldier, no matter what
the color of his skim"
