So long as the constitution received the sup
port OF ali the States, the domestic Institution
sss entltled To ali the protection guaranteed by
the terms OF that instrument But when we
mud these States by State conventions, aud b.
the adoption of a new constitution Ia their Con
i-dera,e Congress, deliberately repud' Ating the
constitution OF the United States, they can no
longer claim any rights which belonged 10 them
py the terms OF that instrument. The nagUi-
tude OF this rebellion, and the great interests al
stake, are drifting Us 10 the course OF events,
10 the position OF emancipation OF all slaves OF
persi.sent rebels Not for the sake OF armng
them against their masters, but TO deprive those
States OF the Case that has produced The rebel
hon, and IS just retaliation upon them, and
tie ouy ueans 10 bring this war successfully TO a
Give them certain time to lay
dosn their arms and to return 10 their ale
glance, and if NOS complied with in that time,
.maucipa,e the slaves OF rebels by general or

patton 10 the rightful object OF this war On the
Dart OF the CuiOni Is, much less than any sucD
issue should 10 made up as Emancipation or Sc
parsron. o. the coutIary, We hold that the
reoeIs should be sumnOIed to lay down their
a ma within q reasonable period and submit TO
The laws and authority of the Union, on penalty
Of the ernaucI patio. of their slaves. Aud II
the prescribed period having expired-thry sill
persisted ia their treason, We bold tnAt the Pre-
.,d-Ds or Geuer al In Chief should Issue PrOcla-
