Union and the federal government To this end
have been dedicated for years all the labors and ra
sources Of this profound schcmer, sud he has sig
naized terrible sagacty and power in the nrosecu
zion Of his enterprise d advances in his under.
taking with mastery caution that hazards nothing
by precipitation, and with forecast that comrrs-
hends all the consequences and bearings of each step
in his progress. His calculations and combinations
evince the genius Of a master srate-.s., and his
movements are made with the c0msumuate skill
that leaves no unguarded point in the line of opera
tions, nor any possible contingency uuProvileI for
The immediate and special ohjectin he development

occupied his mind and engaged his efforts, was the
securing majority Of free States in Tue Union DE
