bers chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority
of the qualified voters of such States shall have

tervailing testimony be deemed conclusive evidence
that such State and the people thereof are not
then in rebellion against the United States :
Now, therefore, 1, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, by virtue of the wirer in me
vested, as Commander-iu-chief of the . Army and
Navy of the United States in time of actual armed
rebellion against the authority and government of
the United States, and as a fit and necessary war
measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this
first day of January., in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in
accordance with my purpose so to do, publicly pro-
claimed for the fell period of one hundred
days from the day of the first above-mentioned
order, and designate as the States and

And by virtue of the power and for the purpose
aforesaid, I do aver and declare that all persons
held as slaves within said designated States and
parts of States are, and henceforward shall be free,
and that the Executive Government of the United
States, including the military and naval authori-
ties thereof, will recognise and maintain the free-
dom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared
to be free to abstain from all violence unless in
necessary self-defence, and I recommend to them
that in all cases, when allowed, they labour faith-
fully fur reasonable wages.
And I further declare and make known that such
persons of suitable condition will be received into
the armed service of the United States, to garrison
forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to
man vessels of all sorts in said service. _

And, upon this—aincerely believed to be an act
of justice, warranted by the constitution—upon
military necessity—l invoke the considerate judg-
ment of mankind and the gracious favour of
Almighty God.
