policy must be adopted at an early
day, spent several evenings with
Lincoln until long after the midnight
hours, discussing the question and
earnestly protesting against an eman.

that 1t would certainly defeat the ad.

Illinois, and without the support Of
those States l could not see how the
war policy was to be maintained.
Lincoln was a patient listener. and
ne did not dispute that the political
disasters | predicted mightfOllow such
proclamation. He gave no indica ton
OF his purpose, altho he talked freely
and listened most patiently and at

order. as commander in chief of the
army, that every slave brought within
our lines would be forever free. and
that slavery should be terminated in
