raised regiments with Lord Grey’s coffin for a

standard I suppose nobody doubts what would

have been the course pursued as the means of remo

ving the whole mischief with the least amount of

reached. As fast as any district is occupied, volun

teers from the colored population will be invited to

join the three West India Regiments and the Land
