Loyalty of the Negroes—Some Truths Worth Considering. In a speech delivered in a town in Connecticut. a few evenings ago, General F. P. Blair, Jr., alluded as follows to the declaration by tlie^ radicals that "the negroes were (he only loyal men in tho South

The nogro had no idea of loyalty to any government—the only idea they had was of loyalty and affection for their old masters, and they acted on that throughout the war remaining with lliom and giving their labor to them. Was that loyalty? Ah, but says the radicals, the negroes were coerced to do these things. They are quite willing to admit this plea in ease of the white Unionists. (Cheers.) The Abolitionists had proclaimed, up to }he breaking out of the war, that it would be a sigual for a general uprising of the negroes, and we all shuddered at the thought of the blood of innocent women and children that might be shed. When we were proclaiming their freedom and declaring that we were lighting lor their freedom, it was quite natural that they should rise, aud perhaps, guided by ignorance and brutish instincts, fall upon the women aud childrou of the combatants in the field. But there is not a single .such iustance recorded. Ou the contrary, the negroes protected the families of their old masters, aud supplied them with food and 1 certainly do not say this in Teroir«fleu. -r .1,,. nmrroCS.

On the other hand. .Jett. tw»ir, j„.. remember, complained of the dosertion ol white soldiers from the ranks. Men who had been forced into the. ranks took tlie first opportunity to abandon fbe cause to which their hearts never were given. Hut the negroes, who, we arc told, were the only loyal persons during the war, were raising I'ood for the support rebel armies, were building parapets up

which

the lives of thousands aud thouSIl"ds L'uiou soldiers were destroyed they built the parapets which held our armies

at Richmond, at Atlanta, at Vie':"''JurKi and everywhere were giving aid

the

rebels. Not only did we offer the1" liberty. but we offered tlieni wages and bounties which appeared magnificent in their eyes, and yet how many of them v°'

teeredi* Out of the five millions o* negroes South, and all through the country, there had been, at the end of the

When our armies took possession of the enemy's country, it brought within our lines large numbers of these negroes. Our soldiers took all there was to cat in the region round about, aud the negroes had nothing to live upon. Ou tho other hand, they were offered food, clothing, wages and bounties, as 1 have said, that seemed inagnifiiecnt in their eyes. Aud besides this, they were told that, they would have au easy time they would not be expected to do the fighting, but rather to garrison and hold the forts aud places taken aud 1 can tell you that promise •was kept Now, is it not marvelous, considering all this, that only one hundred and fifty thousand negroes were recruited to our ranks? Is thataD evidence of extraordinary loyalty? 1 repeat that the only idea of loyalty they had was of loyalty to their masters. So that these two pretexts for this last measure of Congress —first tlmt the great mass of the Southern people were disloyal, and second, that the negroes were the only loyal people iu the South—arc both transparent humbugs, unworthy of belief—not believed by ""themselves. I do not speak in any spirit of unkiudness of the negroes. I believe I am ineapible of doing that but 1 honestly admit that I do uow aud always have preferred my own race to the ncVo race. (Applause.) It is the great and illustrious race which has achieved everything that has been doue for civilization .since we have knowu of the history of the world. 1 think it unnatural

WEEKLY REVIEW.

I and monstrous that a white man should 1 not glory in his own race. think we have dealt unkindly toward the negroes, and that this nation owes them a debt of 1 justice aud gratitude which it should roI pay them, but not at the expense of the white race.. The white race must be cherished and iis purity preserved. It lias been the only race that has proved itself capable, in the worlds history, of erecting and maintaining constitutional and free government, (applause) and the black raee has never maintained any kind I of government.

A Ghost that will not Down. i* The Chicago Bepublican is commenting upon the recent debate between between Butler aud Bingham, uses the following language:

"And this is all such tilts and scenes amount to. Fort Fisher is history, Mrs. .Surratt rests. Why summon up these hideous ghosts when nunc material mattwaj. demand attention Have doue wit'' such grim piny,

We do not wonder that the Radical party aifd its organs are anxious to exercise this "ghost.'' and shut their curs against the blood of an innoecu. woman crying from the ground for vengeance upon her murderers. Hut her spectre will not down at their bidding, but will live in history to brand the mark of Cain upon the brows of those who sent her to the scaffold and a dishonored grave.

In this connection, the following testimony, in the defence of Mrs. Surratt, will be read with interest:

our lists. And 1 will tell

you how these were, recruited, for 1 saw that thing myself. [Laughter and applause.] I saw it done. One of our v"st armies would make a raid into the enemy's country, and drive back the confederate forces for two or three hundred miles. Following behind our army, were gentlemen bearing commissions for negro regiments—Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels. Lieutenants, etc., who wanted very much to put on shoulder straps. They would walk up to the negroes left behind the retreating confederates and say. "Conic here Sam, or John, or C:esar, I want you to join my regiment." "1 don't wan't to join nobody's regiment, Mass'r." I don't care whether you want to join or not. you've got to join and that is the way they were recruited. [Laughter.] Besides when they came to our lines it became absolutely necessary that they should join us whether any recruiting officer went to them in this manner or not.

AFFIDAVIT OF JOHN P. UROPIIY. 1. I can have it proved, if time be allowed, that Weiehman "is aud always was a coward" according to the words of his father. 2.

7. That a short time before the assassination he introduced' Atzerodt to me as a particular friend of his, aud that the same day lie and Atzerodt were riding on Booth's horses. I enn bring other and new witnesses to testify to his intimacy with Atzerodt. 8.

There is no evidence throughout the whole of Africa that there ever was any kind of government, there, except the brutal control which is sometimes assertcd by a chief' over his few naked followI ers. and even when they have, been taken to other countries, aud have becu speetators for years and generations of the I work of the white 1111111, as was the case in Hayti, they have not been able to sustain free government. The French there maintained a government, before the eyes of their slaves the slaves rose and massacred the white population. What beetinie of the (lovernment they established? It hrs degene ated and degenerated to this hour, and the people have gone I back to the fetish worship of their ancestors in Africa. Also in Jauiacia, where the British Government liberated the negroes and gave them a full and equal share in the government, und the right to vote and hold office, yet the negroes rose and attempted to massacre the white men but were thwarted. It is notorious that iu all ihat island that have not improved yet our radical friends wish to try the experiment 011 a grand scale in our own eouutry, aud have improved on the British idea: have almost gone to tbe extent that tho Africans in llayti themselves went. They will have all the political power if the radical programme is carried out by the disfranchisement of the whites and enfranchisement of the negroes aud, as a matter of course, they will be instructed by the meddlesome radicals of the north to domineer over the down trodden whites, and possibly the mass of thoso people, in disgust, may be compelled to abandon their eouutry and yield it up, and those who remain will, iu time, be exterminated.

that Mrs. Surratt wept bitterly at the thought, of John going to Richmond, imploring him to remain at home and not briug trouble upon himself und upon the family. 10. That once while some men were at the house, Mrs. Surratt called John (her son) aside, and said to him, "John, I am afraid there is something going on. Why do these men coinc here? Now, John, I do not leel easy about this, and you must tell me what you are about." 1 asked Weiehuian if John told her, aud he (Weiehmau) told me thatJohu did uot, aud would not tell her. 11. That since the close of trial Weiehman offered to give a letter to President .Johnson iu Mrs. Surratt's favor, provided

I would "keep it a profound secret." I asked him to give me a similar letter, to Judge Holt, and he replied: "No, will not write to him, because I have no confidence whatever in Holt." 12. That he said he would net work under this Government if he had anything else to do, and that he would never fight on the Northern side. 13. That other very importuut facts in Mrs. Surratt's fuvor can be brought to light if time bo allowed.. (Signed) JOHN P.BHOPHY.

Subscribed and sworn to before inethis 7th day of July, lS65,and I hereby certify that the affiant is a respectable citizen aud worthy of credit.

The Kusslun Treaty.

It is proposed by the United States Government to pay sevcu millions of dollars for that expanse of ice aud snow lying toward the North Pole, uow known as Russian Auieriea. The idea of getting this territory, in addition to our now vast and unwieldy possessions, must be upon the principle that we are to keep "buying all adjoining territory and the adjacent islands." This project is another of the many evidences which have been afforded of the grasping territorial ambition of our Government, aud which has been in the past the source of all our troubles. The purchase of the Mexican Territory was the direct cause of the renewal of the anti-slavery dispute between the North and the South, that finally culminated in our civil war. We need this Russian territory about as much as "Mrs. Toodles" did the door-plate, which she bought at the auction sale upon the presumption that she might have a daughter, and that daughter might marry a man by the name of "Thompson," and then the door-plate would be useful: If we must buy more laud, we had better go in the direction of the tropios rather thau purchase the North Pole.
