renee of first two thirds Of Congress and
afterwards of three fuurths of the States.
The requisite three.fourths of the States
will necessarily include several Of the slave
States. Their concurrence, if obtained,
will give assurance of their severally adop.

upon the newly constructed terms This
assurance would end the struggle now and
save the Union forever. Iugl7iug freedom
to the slave, we assure freedom to the free.
Honorable alike in what we give aud what
we preserve, We. shall save our glorious
countryand make her the last hope Of earth.
