in, deprecated the policy on the ground
that it would cost the administration the
fall elections. Nothing, however. was Of
fered that l had not already fully antici-
pated and settled in my own mind until
Secretary Seward spoke.
"He said i'm substance: Mr.. President,

verses is so great that I fear the effect

The victory was a long time coming
Late in August Pope was defeated. in the

becoming impatient because the President
seemed TO be doing nothing. lie received

or some other thing. \ citizen of Lousi-
ana wrote complaining that the interests
Of loyal shareholders were being permitted
to suffer through the military pressure
which was being applied in slave states.
What would you do in my position?
President Lincoln asked this man. would
you drop the war where IL is? Or would
you prosecute il I'm the future with elder
stalk squirts charged with rose water?
Would you deal lighter blows rather than
heavier ones? Would you give up the con-
test, leaving any available means unap-
plied?"
Others criticised him for not using enough
pressure in the slave states. At last Lin
coin became irrltated.
One day delegation of Chicago religious
leaders called on him. with the run ose Of
asking the immediate proclamation OF Uni
versal emancipation The interview lasted
an hour, and In the course Of the discus
sion a dogmatc memorial was handed to
him. Lincoln made reply. which was af-
terward written out and printed by the
delegation upon its return home. Accord
ing to this report, he said that he was
approached with the most opposite opin-
ions and advice. Religious men who came
to him were certain that they represent
