Col Cooper further showed that
Lincoln was anxious to emancipate
the slaves by compensation. He read
a resolution which was adopted by
both houses of Congress at the
earnest solicitation of President Lnl-
coin, which was:
Resolved, That the United States
ought to cooperate with any State
which may adopt a gradual abolition
of slavery, giving to such State Pc

in MS discretion, to compensate for
the inconvenience, public and pri.

Lee Against Secession.
The speaker said Lincoln pleaded
with the South ''in an honest en-
deavor to emancipate the slaves by
compensation, but that all OF MS
pleadings, prayers and propositions
were without avail" and that hnaiiy
on September %, 1862, he issued the
proclamation.
Col. Cooper also showed by a letter
from Gen. Robert e. Lee to his son.
C. w. Custis Lee dated January %,
1861, that Gen. Lee was also strongly
opposed to secession. In this letter
Col. Cooper said that Gen. Lee stated;
II can anticipate no greater ca
lanity for the country than a dissolu-
ton of the Union. 1t would be an ac-
cumulation of all the evils we com
plain of, and l am willing to sacrifice
everything save honor for its preser.

Wanted States Reimbursed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 3.-Col.
Wade H. Cooper, Washington, D. c.,
banker and president of the South

inspirational tribute to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln in All address
here tonight before the state Teach
ers Association. During his address
he urged that monument be erected
in honor of the Emancipator in the
City of New Orleans.
IF there is one place on the Amer
lean continent above all others where
Abraham Lincoln deserves monu-
ment," Col. Cooper continued, 1T is in
the City of New Orleans, where, when
a boy, Lincoln witnessed on the auc-
ton block the sale of human slaves.
which aroused his whole nature
against the institution of slavery"
Col. Cooper stated that Lincoln was
a man of great sympathy, and said
he believed that every time President
Lincoln struck a blow at the South
for the preservation of the Union his
heart bled; also that his heart might
be well compared to a great ocean in
which there flowed streams Of com
passion and mercy.
In supporting his contention that
Lincoln was 1.-The greatest chara cter
who ever graced the pages of any
history of any country" Col Cooper
stated that if he could send mes
sage today to every boy and girl he
would not fail to fix in their nenta.

Quotes Lincoln on Slavery.
Col. Cooper took up the. speeches,
papers and public utterances of Abra-
ham Lincoln prior to his election to
the presidency, as well as afterward,
and showed that Lincoln, while al
ways opposed to slavery as against
good morals, never at any time fa-
vored the abolition of slavery except
as military necessity.
