vigorous policy" of Lincoln has been applied more
to freeing negroes than TO carrying on the war
About this policy 1t says:
Every day the Republican editors talk TO us on
the subject. The President they say, has at last
come to realize the Importance Of doing something.
He will not do things by halves any longer. The
war will be prosecuted with earnestness The blows
will fall thick and fast, and the Confederates will
feel them.
We understand well enough what these editors
have meant and now mean by all this They would
have us understand that the President is going to
devote all the energies of the Government to the
enlistment of negroes at the North and freeing the
slaves at the South and that in this way he IN
tends to reach the heart of the rebellion. But this,
we have said more than once, is sheer nonsense -
The President knows that be cannot rely upon the
negroesthat those at the North don't care to fight,
and that those at the South be reached only
