What arc We Fighting For

Below is an extract from all Grafton delivered
by xGov. Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts,:
"Now, then, I say here to day that this con
test inaugurated by the rebels Of the South
will have no uccc;sful and complete end until
you in some way assert the doctrine thai
liberty is no, the property Of any race; that i
IS rot the exclusive right of any class; that il
does not belong to any nation, but that 1t IS
the God given right OF all the sons of man.. l
do not say that the four millions of SO called
Slaves in the South arc to be, without premedii-
tation and without preparation, cmancipated;
but tell you that this contes: n arches log':-
cally, phiosophically and inevitably toward
the emancipation Of this people; and the c'tl'
lens ut the ballot box or statesman administer
ing the government OF this country, or general
who guides its armies. who docs not admit
that as m inevitable result Of this contest
rusundtrstands the force Oft events, lnd is DOOM

This was delivered before Bull Run and

This deposit was made by instructions from
