HE Is INUNDATED AT THE SIGHT OF NEGRO
SOLDIERS
The most humli ating hour every lived
was when twenty millions of white men,
having ground the negro to powder under
their heels in the death grapple with the
South were obliged to get down on their
knees and ask the negro to help them fight
But that was only humilating. What fol
lowed was infamous. The people favored
the Union. The CritteDden compromise
was suggested, on the theory that if it was
adopted, the union sentiment might assert
itself at the South and prove too powerful
for the secessionists. 1t might have been
so, but we never can know now whether it
would be or not The war has built up a
unanimous confederate sentiment. jeff

the Fremont statesmanlke word been Sec

of war have grnuted that which was merely
a temporary rebellion into an established

harder work than the one now occupying
the chair; he has the whole South, as sucb
a thing can be unanimous against him. You
cannot reconstruct the Union on the loyal

of It. The only loyal element in the South
is the negroes; give them vote, link them
to the for unc Of the nation and acknowl-
edge the manhood OF the black man, until
the white man is converted. Loud ap-
