The President on Emancipation.


Elsewhere we print the paper read by Presi
dent Lincoln 10 the members Of Congress from
the Border States Ii is a significant and i'm
portan; document in the history Of these times
and fully shows that Mr. Lincoln is sincerely
and heartily in favor Of emancipation. 1t has
been at times claimed by the pro-sayery press,
who have pretended to support the policy Of the
Administrations and yet have lost no opportu
nifty Of unfairly assaling it by attacking It's
great characteristic measures that the enamel
patton resolution recommended to Congress was
a wholly mpracticable measure. and known 60

Of these secret euemies-thrown out as "A bone

however by hs cours, since has given the lie
to all this Islander upon his honesty, and by his
appeal to the Border States, in proclamation
disowniHg Gen hunters proclamation, and
now by thsaddless, has shown most conclusive
ly that his proposal has meant from the outset
all that the most earnes' Republicans have
cameu for it, President Lincoln is in earnest
about the matter, and means that the Border
State men shall hear and take warning.
But this address has more than this slgnih-
canoe The President takes the occasion to tell
the Border States men some plain truths. He
says to them that they "hold more power for good
than any other equal number Of members, and
that, IN his opinion, if they AL had voted for
the iesoluti ton the war would be substan-
italy ended. > He also TELLS them that emauci-
patton, as proposed by himself, " is one Of the
most potent and swift means Of ending the war
lie also tells them that without Slavery this
war never could have been And upon this 0a-
- OF facts he urges them, with u pathos and
force Of appeal that it seems impossible Tor any
but those who prefer Slavery to the preserva-
ZION Of the Government to resist, to break i" that
ever before the faces Of the Gulf States, and
cut loose from the power Of Slavery forever. Ii
