hang by refolutlon Of Congress such OF the ring
leaders as happen to be his political opponents, and
the impartial vengeance Of Brownow, who wouI1
hurl all, both rank and file, with their goods ana
effects quickly down to the hottest hell prove
that the future pescc and good order OF the insur

and be subject to the disposal OF the Government.
IGood.] Thirdly, Emancipation. ! have now lei
low-citizens touched the tender point o. tn,s cuu,
troversy. As briefly as possible will give you
my reasons why this Rebellion and American Sla-
very should come to q common and simultaneous
end. might base my argument upon the immuthole
truth that every slave in tho Republic has, ny tne
law of the Eternal, the same right 70 noerly ID pS
Abraham Lincoln, Roger b. fancy, and George b.
Mcclellan. But, waving this, rest my argument
npon the two obvious grounds that Slavery was the
ain spring of the Rebellion and is now the chlei
strength Of the war. The Slavery prcpagandists
having whelmed the country In this febeinon 70
strengthen and perpetna,e their atrocious sysfem,
retribution demands that it be submerged by the
convusion which its votares have cou-
jured NJ. lGrcat applause.l So much for
the Rebellion - now, US to the war =, ny

States to do the drqdgsIv Of tie camp, to carry the

the n'renchments which our troops must Storm aBl
TO aid in the conflict in thousand ways, the South
is able 10 send to the war its whole white popula'
ton capable Of bearing arms, and preserve them
fresh and strong for the shock of the battlefield.
The slsyes'of Rebels should DO cOnfsca,ed without
comF ensation. Those of loyal citizens should par
ticipate ~ the common beneiacton, their claimants
being fairly compensated because, while this email
remnant Of bondmen would be comparatively WORTH
less as slaves they would be dangerous 10 the gene
rsl peace of the South the eource OF continued con-
tenlon in all parts Of the country and an unfeemly
blemish upon the fair face Of sregenerated nation.
In this connection, sir may give another, though
analogous reason why this whole matter should be
disposed Of now. By or two actsof Congress, and
by numerous orders Of military commanders, many
hundred thousand slaves scattered all through the
South, have been declared forever free. Though the
war were to instantly cease, and the old order Of
things be restored, these persona can never be re-
duced to slavery. lCheersl On the con.
trary, measures would be instituted to
bondmen. This would oil every corner Of
the South with an agitation that might dive the
country to the brink of another civil war, II wish
the boys who ere firing crackers would change the
base OF their operations and get further off culmin.
aiing, perhaps, in . general insurection Of tho
slaves. Prudential reasons, therefore, counsel US
that il is quito as safe 20 60 through 10 the
end as 10 attempt TO retreat or halt where
we are. I would seize the present au,picious
moment for Q final adj stment Of our account
with God and the negro race for another reason. A
change In the framework of society, radical aud
sudden the overthrow Of slavery, might, In ordi-
nary times, seriously conyulse the country. But, in
the mid,t Of this dread war, when States clash
AGAINST States, when a million OF armed close
in battleslock all the land, when the thunders
Of our martial mu ne echo along ocean and river
hne measured by thousands Of miles, when our peo-
pie begin 10 look upon startling events and radical
changes and incessant agifations as the ordinary
occurrences Of the time the overthrow Of slavery by
act Of Congress tue military decree of the Pretl
dent, az pure war measure, would add scarcely q
ripple 10 the current commotioD. Sensation and
cheers. As 10 its cost, when Congress, under the
operation Of the previous question, votes TO raise
two and three hundred millions of money ut dash
TO carry the war-the public all the while look
Ing on with c0pplacency--tho country will not be
startled by proposition 10 pay few thousand loyal
Shareholders for their negroes. favor this radical
measure, siso, because II viii not only crush the
present revolt but will forever prevent all future re-
bellons OF the like nature Let u.s. thep dispose Of this
monster wrong. while we have tho power. Let us
not leave "A legacy 10 postcri,y evil that has
afflicted us. Let the Government inscribe upon our
snnsls Nh irrevocable Decree Of Liberation, that
shall stand through all tiIno warning TO rulers
who plot iniquily, and an encouragement to those
who do well. Cbeers.l Just here, Ms.
President, are met with three or -four
objections, which l can barely glance Mt in
passing. Constitutional obstacles are interposed
! in the way both Of emabe ipatiou and con-
Gscaticn. will suggest at the out,et that have no
special N spcot for the scruples Of men who al
WAYS hSssting the Constitution into the srenn of
Sscussion 30 authorize good but TO protect
como evil, and who ever invoking ITS provisions
~, TO accomplish and Justify benign objects, but TO
perpetuaie and cousecrato cruelty and crime. No
mistake. The Constitution came oat Of the fur
nae, heat Of revolutionary struggle, declaring
one Of is prime objects TO DO, to " establish
instice and secure the blessings Of liberty our
selves AID our postSsHy." We urge conliscation
and elnaoci patton purely as military measures, ss-
ssntial 10 our success IN this war, and aids in
crushing the Rebellion. Martial law overrides all
other law. I. can take liberty aud life at will.
Surely, II seize property, and deliver from
Slavery IL has been binted that the Supreme
Court nav hereafter pronounce these measures null
ard void. | doubt, Sr, whether that tribunal
would thus intervene IN behalf Of treason against
ths Government. II II should, the reforming hand
of gisation mns teach II that courts are made for
the people And not people for the courts, and that
order Of men mus, stand in the way Of the prescya
ton of the life Of tho Republic Never. II has
also been urged that this policy viii exsrcrae the
Rebel, and prOtfsot the war. But, no PROPAGATION
can be clearer TO my mind than this. II the Rebels
are given unders and that il they return " ther
allegiance they viii be paid for their negroes,
whereas If they continue in arms they will be ken
from them without compensation, this will operate
upon their selfish natures ~ strong inducement 10
the yIonpt Abandonment OF tho Rebellion. Oh
pshaw We are told fellow citizens that the Border
Slaveh0lding States hostile 10 Coniscation and
especially to Emancipation, snd that We must con-

seen no sufficient proof that these States irreyo-
