see the Board make the appropriation,
as an act OF justice 10 the patriotic boys,

although our treasury has bean robbed

act of justice, the county has got to
make the deficiency good, and pay lib

happened to be born, to any ether they
might choose. Here were two dis
g. net, antsgonistic claims. Great Bri.
tain said we must yield to her claim.
We said no. We fought them, and that
naughty power relingushed their claim,
thereby acknowledging at least our equal
ity.
The Rebels have decreed that no negro
man shall bear arms against them, and if
any negro does fight them, both be
aud bis white officers shall be denied the
privileges of the common articles of war.
The Uniied States say that men of all
uationalities and colors, fighting under
the Stars and Stripes, shall be entitled to
the full protection Of that Flag. The
Rebels say that their laws must be held
superior to ours. Shall We yield to their
claim of superiority

equal share of the Offices, or (as the alter
