Resoirc.i, That tho United States in

may adopt gradual abolition Of slavery.

compensate it for the Inconvenience. pub

it. But il it does conmard such .nuro.
val l deem it Of importance tina, the State.
aud people Immediately interested should
be at once distinctly notified Of the fact. So
that they may begin to consider whether
to accept or reject it.
The Federal Government would find ;ts
highest interest in such measure al one
Of the most important means Of sclf-prescr-
walton. The leaders Of the existing re-
b-llion entertain the hope that this Gov
ernment will ultimately be forced ,o ac-
knowledge the independence Of some par.
Of the disaifectcd region. and that all the
Slave States north Ut such part will then
say. THE Union for which we have struc-
gl~d b.ing already gone, We now CHOOSE

deprive them Of this hope substantially
ends tho rebellion aud the initiation os
emancipation deprives them Vt it, aud to
all the States initiating it.
