The Argument 0i the tN0dus.
Not lar from the emp Of the Twelfth and
Thirteenth Vermont regiments. at Wolf Run
Shoals, Va, in the Winter Of 1862 3, was
the dwelling of an old Yirginian. His family
consisted of himself, his wife and 4 mulatto
girl, who had formerly been his slave. All
the rest Of his colorci chattcls had left him.
This woman remained, from sheer loyalty TO
her old master and mistress. She chopped the
wood, she could swing an axe like a iankee
lumbermln, drew the water, did the wash
ing and the cooking and all the drudsery
about the house. She was Indispensable 10

the old couple. \ guard from one OF the
regiments was stationed at the house to keep
Of intruIers and chicken thieves and one
day he heard an interesting little c0lloquy
between the Eirgiailn and his former slave.
lie was angry at her because she did not DO
something to suit him, and, forgetting in his
passion the changed state Of the ease since
the emancipation proclamation, threatened
her with "lashins" the next time she
did not do As he bade her. Her reply
to the threat was 81 don; want you to talk
about llsh.ng ne, HASA W, and |

was the calm answer 1t was enough. The
old man curlel under the prospect Of being

and industry and capacity asked the par

talk about leaving hin in his poverty and
old age and promised to treat her Just as
well as he knew bow, il he would Only
stay.
The exodus of the freedmen l. an apIli-
cation of the same argument, and it : eyi-
dently proving effective. The convention

shows that the ex1iu- Is doing more 10 bring
the white line Democracy To recognize the
fact that the black man has rights which
they must respect, than any thing that has
happened since the war. OF course they
coIld not have been expected to admit that
they had cheated, abused and oppressed
the colored mca, and were entirely to
blame. 1t was saying good deal
to sag that there ha1 been wrongs on 10Th
sides, and saying still more to say that
the colored race i, hy the constitution, on
plane Of absolute legal equality with the
whites and shall be accorded practical ENJOY

members of the convention pledge them

resolution declared. The argument to the
pocket is bringing the Southern planters Ito
