.. Let it be remembered that the Ne-

that the Negroes ought to return to Af~

Providence that the Jews should go

the same claim upon Egypt that the;
Negro has upon America. The Am-

and did much towards securing their.

the Negro soldiers fought for their
freedom and the preservation of the
Union. Negro soldiers received 811
per month for fighting. While sold~
icrs received 313 per month. Did the
Negro tile for his country? Let Fort

that it is clearly proven that the Ne
