; Mr.. Lincoln set his face strongly
against the spread OF slavery ana niS
rarity promised that all rec SnI! Shpur.
remain free. Thus far. but no 1artheT'
as its position. 80
coin hoped for and expected ultimate
adjustment OF slavery: for he express
| cd the opinion that the nation could not
continue part slave and part free, But
| If he ever so much es intilnatcd how
that end might be attained. II hav never
becn recorded. 1t is noteworthy, how
ever. that the signed the Emancipation
| Proclamation with many 'miSgivinSS and
| oftnr much DELAY. Tho abolition of
! Slavery bv proclamation was war
naaasnra ard an Incident Of the war. The
states that sought severance from tho
Union were quito as much displeased on
account OF the protective tariff as upon
thc issue of slavery. When the Consti-
! t,fion oF tho Confedcracy was adopted
| il 'cypressly prohibited protective
| tariff and eIarantecd slavery.
| "AIr. Lincoln believed in three co-or-
dIn.Lte branches OF government atnd no

| branch. He did not believe that tho
