out Alice in Kent, another traitor, but
we have no traitors up here. ] believe
we will have all our people in this
county registered by next registration
day. There is nothing TO my mind
more marvellous than the loyalty to the
Union cause Of the colored men in
Senator Allee's district last Saturday:
25S Of them were registered and 257
voted.
