after the close Of the war, it is not cou-
petent for the General Government to

ersl States, it is equally clear ,ha, good
faith requires the security Of tho freed
men in their liberty and their property,
their right to labor, and their risht to
claim the just return Of their labor. I
cannot too strongly urge a ii.passiona,s
treatment Of this subject, which should
be carefully kept aioof from al party

assumption OF any natural impossibili,y

in need of employment, culture and pro-
lection, While their right of voluntary

and, instead of hasty auticjpations Of the
certainty Of failure, let there be nothing
wanting to the fair trial of the expert

the substitution Of labor by contract for
the status of slavery The freedmen
cannot fairly be accused Of uuwilncuess

Iic interest will be best promoted if the
several States will provide adequate pro
lection and remedies for the freedmen.
Until this is IN some way accomplished,
there is no chance for the advantsgeou,
use Of their labor; and the blame Of i'll
success will not rest on them.
