know the opinions Of others, that some of
the commanders of armies in the field, who
have given us our most important victories,
believe the emancipation policy and colored
troops constitute the heaviest blowsye dealt
to the rebellion; that one, at least, of these
important successes could not have been
achieved unless it had been for the aid of
black soldiers. Among the commanders
holding these views arc some who have never
had any affinity with what is called Adolf
tionism, or with Republican party politics,
but who hold them purely as military opin-
ions. l submit their opinion as being enti-
tied to some weight against the objections Of
ten urged that emancipation and arming the
blacks are unwise as military measures, and
were not adopted as such in good faith. You
say that you will not fight to free negroes.
Some of them seem willing enough to fight
for you; but no matter, use them exclusive
ly to save the Union. issued the procla-
nation on purpose to aid in saving the In
ion. Whenever you shall have conquered
all resistance to the Union, if shall urge
you to continue fighting, it will be an apt
time then for you declare that you will not
fight to free negroes. thought that in your
struggle for the Union, to whatever extent
negroes should cease helping the enemy, to
that extent it would weaken the enemy in his
resistance to you. Do you think different
ly: thought that whatever negroes can be
got to serve as soldiers, leaves so much less
for white soldiers to do in saving the Union.
Does it appear otherwise to you: But ne
groes like other people act upon motives.
Why should they do anything for us if we
do nothing for them? 1t they stake their
lives for us they must be prompted by the
strongest motive-even the promise of free
dom, and the promise made must be kept.
