And, then, there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth and steady eye, and well-polished bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation; while, I fear, there will be some white ones, unable to forget that, with malignant heart and deceitful speech, they have strove to hinder it. |
