part, are perfectly clear. There is one
other illuminative and characteristic
thing-many more, in fact, but one
standing out distinctIy-the manner of
king up his cabinet. All these
things he did in his own way. They
are Lincolnian.
The act he has been most lauded for,
of course, and doubtless will be most
lauded for in future is the enancipa-

not certain but that Lincoln was right
in regarding the saving of the Union
as the paramount thing, compared with
which the liberation of the negro was
subsidiary and only to be considered in
! SO far as it contributed to the other.
That this was President Lincoln's own
attitude and belief be made plain over
and over again.
The freeing of the chattel slaves was
a great act The freeing of wage
slaves would be greater. But was not
and is not the preservation Of the re-
public, which is the vessel of all kinds
Of liberty for this land and for the
whole race, greater than either? Amer.

world a new idea In government. Her
mission is to bring liberty and democ

This she will do, not by force. but by
example and precedent. Is not hel

great work in the future more impor

black slaves?
It is impossible, however, to separate
the two things. The destruction Of
slavery was necessary to the preserva

pointed this out when he said the ma
