nation, and Ne voafsss We think they are better
judges. and their opinions the subject entitled
to more considers ton than those OF men n the
North, Who know but little OF the institution.
Their confession disposes Of the objecuon to
the Proclamation. that il will be ineffective. IL
will hurs slavery, and that ia just what it was
designed to do. Slavery Was the original cause
Of the rebellion, and ID now its main support,
and to the extent that slavery is removed and
the rebels stripped Of the advantage that slavery
gives them over the North. just to the same ex-
tent does the North succeed in putting down the
rebellion. 1t 10 their strength if left alone-it is
their weakness il attacked.
Then We pray that the President may stand
firm, and that il may be attacked with oil the
power OF the nation, from aud after the close Of
this day. In his annual Message the President
said, I'VE know how to save the Union. The
world knows Ne do know how to cave il. We 4;
