Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1863-07-08

Lincoln and Liberty; of Darkness and
Dahomey. True our State Constitution
and laws, like those of Illinois and other
loyal States, will not permit free negroes
to come within our State, nor enfranchiSed
slaves to remain there; but from military
necessity, or, as high official expresses
it. 'from the er necessttote ret OF the
thing" they will be permitted TO remain
The plan recently adopted Ill South Car
DINA of selling them the lands of the
rebels might be adopted, and thereby
Memphis might become "a varigated
CITY" Our white and colored brethren
and sisters might thus furnish an example
of that '' freedom and fraternity which
so many Northern spinisters sincerely re-
gard as the only means of compromising
the present unfortunate distinction of
color.
You should by all means pass reso-
lution in favor of giving such rebel farms
and town lots aS are not needed for our
colored brethren TO our Christian friends
of the North who desire to live among
their coIored friends particularly TO that
numerous and respectable class who think
that both races will be improved by a
cross of the anglo-Saxon upon the pure
Guinea - When this cruel war is over"
how our psalm singang brethren from the
Church OF the Puritans would enjoy a
confederate farm on Big Black, Red
River, the Arkansas or Ponchar;ain.
When the rebels and disarIned how meek
and lowly, docile and penetent they will
be, while beholding our Northern brothers
occupying their mansions and illustrating
the beauties of General Banks apprentice
system. With what impunity General
Butler would ride from his plantation on
Moon Lake to his rancho on Deer Greek !.
Then would be made manifest the
absurdity of those Copperhead croakers
who foolishly insist that while military
power can put down a rebellion, moral
power alone can eradicate It's consequences
and keep it down. 1t is true, they cite
the example of Vendee, which in area, is
only about one tortieth part of France
There, we admit, the peasantry believed
their religion was endangered, and history
records that they defeated six or seven of
the best appointed armies which TIE
French republic, in that warlike age,
could hurl against them. 1t it also true
that afterwards, that when Carnot was
made Minister of War, he quieted the
people by ass iring them that they should
be undisturbed in their religious faith.
These miSchevious fault finders. TO give
:. further force to their insidious assaults
upon our worthy President, point also tC
Poland, in which the fires of rebellion are
ever burning; but n-ly i''-'gct that the
Gar of all the RusSias is III all respects
E inferior to our noble President, and is
wholly ignorant or the true means o
; guieting diSatiected people. 1t never
