Three years ago, when traitors attempted to destroy our nation, we all pledged ourselves to our country. ... We know that never before were the Rebels so nearly conquered. ... We have victory in our hands. If we fail to clutch it and retain it now, we are criminal, ... Believe not, brothers and sisters, we beseech you, those men, who preach a peace to be gained by our submission. ... Black men have in this war fought bravely for our flag, on the ocean and on the land. They have been true to our cause, and it would be monstrous injustice to allow them ever again to be held as chattels by the perjured traitors who once owned them. ... Brothers and sisters, we spurn the proffered "sympathy" of traitors who have never voted a man nor a dollar towards putting down this rebellion; and, not as partizans, nor politicians, but as patriots, we beg you, ... to elect Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson

- Description
- In his memoir, Reminiscences of Philadelphia during the past half century (Philadelphia 1895), J.E. Peyton of Haddonfield, N.J. claims to have lent his name to the recruitment of two cavalry regiments which became the 3rd and 11th Pennsylvania. Taylor associates him with the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry: In the autumn of 1862 an enthusiastic citizen of Haddonfield, N. J., was active in securing recruits for the "Continental Cavalry." Two companies, intended as A and B, were camped at Haddonfield. Adverse circumstances led many of the recruits to leave camp and to enlist elsewhere. Their names were, however, carried upon the company records as "deserters." Those who remained were, with their officers, mustered into the service and attached to the 18th Cavalry."--F.H. Taylor.

Rogers, shows four horses, two with riders, pulling a cannon with three soldiers seated., Originally part of a McAllister scrapbook., Digitized by Alexander Street Press for Images of the American Civil War.
