Speech of Hon. VIM. ii. WEST, Attor.
ney General of Ohio.
[COncluded from last week.


NATIONAL GRATITUDE.
have thus far considered the subject in
the light of reason, OF justice, and the
rights of man. But higher consideration,
if possible, than these, is the obligation OF
national gratitude.
To have been a soldier Of the Republic,
in its recent internecine struggle is the high
eat of human glories. When this genera
tion shall pass into the scar and yellow
leaf and the SCARED veteran shall fight his
battles Ger again, liberty, STOPPING from
her firm pedestal of a regenerated const titu-
ton, will bid him hail. aud holding aloft
her scroll of fame, WILL as the richest
honor among the legacies. of time, point te
the record of his name attached to the
edict of universal emancipation. --,....-
Soldiers, in that field of glory and of
heroes slain, the black man was your com,
rade. True to his country, true to man.
hood, true to you, no instance of infdeliiy,
no act of treachery dishonored his race
Sometimes you spurned him back to his
chains, but he came again, and pointed you
where the danger lie. When the toll of
the march was ended, he endured with you
the privations ofthe bivoiac and the tent
When the storm burst upon your serried
ranks he shared with you its perils and it's
scars. When the helLhounds of treason
beleaguered your fleeing footsteps, TO drag
you back to the prisons of skeleton death,
he was your pillar OF cloud by day and OF
fire by night, to guide you 80 the shelter, of
your. eountry's flag. His blood mingled
with yours upon common altar, in one
common cause. .u .ztil.r5f,I
1t is possible that If he had been less
true, less faithful, less devoted-tha il
his black columns had been combined
against instead of with you, we might not
now be here exercising the privileges
which hitherto he has sought in vain at
our hands. Under our laws the traitorl
with hands red reeking with the blood OF
slaughtered patriots, may, upon residence
of one short year, east his stained ballot to
neutralize your own and shall we spurn
away the patriot black, inferior though he
may he, who aided you to loose from our
throats his bloody graspH mol mol Lib,
eriy, whose temple his blood contributed
to cement. inSokes usj manhood whose
tightshis strong arm assisted in sindicating,
implofes us gratitude, which springs i'm
pulsive from the generous, heart, appeals TO
us, to do the black man simple, justice.
