Tacea, on paper at least, Mr., Arn0tt
made q 4 fliming speech, which was In
manuscript, during which no demon
atrated that cOlOred man saved the
day at Bunker Hlll, that u great Victory
was won NJ Bunker Hill, aud that the
cOlored man has saved the country right
along Tor hundred years or 80, History
does not record n single one OF these
fac,a-especlally with regard TO the
cOlOred man on the victory nj Bunker
Hill, but little historical inaccuracies
like thia DO not trouble Mr. Arnett when

tory az d his story ara widely different,
but that made no difference with the
House. Had no claimed that Hannibal
led the Philia,ines at the battle Of
Waterloo, aud thus saved the Republic
from oyerthr W, his Republican leggnas
would have applauiei him, for some
thing had TO 0e done TO save the vote OF
the cOlOred brother.
