sir, claim to have more regard for the lives
of my fellowecitizens, and more sympathy

~.ss~. SENATE CHAMBER, June 5, 1862
1aMY DEAR SIR. y our criticism of the
President is hasty i aam Ieonfdent that, if
yeu knew him as do, you would not
make it. ss.44a - ar
/, Of course, the President cannot be held
responsible for the nisfeasances Of subor-
dinates, unless adopted-o or at least tolerated
by him. And | am nisure that nothing un-
Just or il1lgenerous will be tolerated, much
esssadopted by him.
I am happy TO let you know that he has
no sympathy with cStanly in his absurd
wickedness, closing the schools nor again
in his other act of turning our camp into
a hunting ground for slaves. He repudi-
ates both-positively The latter point
has occupied much of his .thonght; and the
newspapers have not gone too far in re-
cording his repeated declarations, which
have often heard from his own lips, that
slaves finding their way. into the national
lines are never to be reenslaved This is
his conviction, expressed without reserve
! Could you have seen the President, as i
was my privilege often, while he was con
sidering the great questions on which h
has already acted---the invitation to emanci
patton in the States, emancipation in tn,
District of Columbia, and the acknowledg
ment of the independence of Hayti an,
l'Liberia-even your zeal would have beef
satisfied, for you would have felt the sin
cerity of his purpose to do what he coul,
to carry forward the principles of th'
Declaration of Independence. His who'll
soul was occupied, especially by the frs
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1862-07-30

81 rejoice that, while the President
saw fit to revoke the recent sweeping or
der of Gen. Hunter, he took pains to couple
that revocation with words of earnest
warming, which have neither meaning nor
application if they dc not recognize the
authority of the Executives in his military
discretion, to give freedom to the slaves.
That this authority will be executed at no
very distant monentI believe most firmly
The language of the President obviously
implies it, and foreshadows it among the
thick coming events of. the future. Con-
servatives and towards may recoil from
| it, and seek to postpone it; but toresist it,
unless Congress shall assume twill be to
wrestle with destiny''-Hon. George W,
Julian, of Indiand, lfty %, 1862.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1862-07-30

Mr. Chairman, my colleague, Mr..
HuTGHINs and the gentleman from In
diana Mr.. JULIAN have undoubtedly
given. the proper interpretation of the
Presidents proclamation, if it has any
meaning or, application at all. The fol
lowing letter from Senator SUMNER seems
to speak by, authority. and / therefore
quote itas expressing the. views Of. TPresi-
dent Lincoln:

"Al Shareholders aud those who sym

II believe we have the constitutional
right to patan end to slavery in the State
in rebellion, and in fact the President in
Inmates pretty strongly in his recent proc
lamation modifying or repeating General
Hunters, that the. time may soon arrive,
insthe progress of this wars when, in the
