US remember that, whether evil or good slavery
Il the growth Of ages aud cannot he rooted up in
q day. Let us remember that, rebellious a.
peshsps the majority Of our misled brethren Of
the South are, very large numbers OF them are
~ loyL 70 the Union as the best among u.s.
They have rights which we are bound to re-
spect whether or no il be part Of their creed,
that the negro is devoid of right'. We have
pledged ourselves in the past TO such men, and
We must fulfil our pledges We cannot do evil
that good may come.
This may be time when, as a means Of sun.
pressing rebellion, the Executive Of the Nation
either 10y or without the direction Of Congress,
will DO compelled fer he. public Sgftty to do
clare free all slave, in the Southern statos.
That IA one Of the weapons in the hands of the
Executive TO DO welded as he thinks wise All A
Just. We may neither compel nor restrain it,
use. We bold him Responsible TO us, not for
avery, but for the rebellion. IA good au,
true ana law-Gbiling citizens Of the bost an,
treest government in tn, world, we must no
make the rebellion an excuse for ourselvo
committing wrong, and If the freedom OF tn
slaves were rtsortsa TO as a military necessit Y
the loyal owners should be afterwards compen
stated.
II ws wish an end put to the system o
tlsvery, We have open the same means which
was open TO the Southern states for q redtoss o
their grievance whatever they were, aud W.
must oonfine ourselves 10 those means, and n
other. We must seek a revision Of the Consti
tuition Of the United States by a convention q
all the states in the manner provided by tn
Constitution itself To attempt It by any othc
means is to put ourselves in tho wrong befor
the world, and to debase our country and our
selves in our own eyes.
