Hessian and Negro invaders.
--A late number of the
Baltimore South contains the following statement of the manner in which the ‘"Grand Army"’ is now being filled up.--Unnaturalized Germans and negroes are the hirelings by which the ‘"glorious Union"’ is to be forced down the throats of a free people!
Negroes and Aliens to Carry on the
War of Objucation--On Sunday evening a regiment of unnaturalized Germans, many of them just from the shores of
Europe, passed through this city for
Washington.
A friend who witnessed the passage of this body, and who followed them to
Camden Station, says there were not a dozen in the regiment who could speak or understand the
English language.
A German was sent among them while delayed at the station to inquire where they were from, and how they come to enlist.
He was told that a large number of them had not been in New York a week, and having been offered good wages and one hundred dollars at the end of the war and a promise that all the land they conquered in the
South should be divided among them, they had promptly enlisted in the army.
They neither knew nor cared anything about the nature of the war, they
had enlisted for the pay!
We are informed that at an early hour this morning there passed through our city a regiment, a number of whom were
negroes — rough, uncouth, ignorant negroes--marshalled into
Lincoln's service for the subjugation of the
South!
Do the ‘"unconditional Union men,"’ the advocates of
Lincoln's Government, endorse this hiring of Hessians and negroes to war upon their brethren of the
South?
Will they still plead for a Union with such masters and such materials?
If such an exhibition as this will not arouse the slumbering patriotism and self-respect of the people, then are they only fit to be the slaves of the tyrants who are forging their chains and associates of the negroes who are called upon to subdue them.
