wi their laves Well now, gentlemen, there are two
classes OF ates in the South. There is the class OF STATE
that affected by the proclamation and class OF States
that ia not With this class OF States which is not sect
cd by the proclamation have simply nothing to do, eI
cept bid God speed to the unconditional Union Of

But what have to do with this prOclamat IN the
rebelOus Slave States7 1t 10 very simple thing just
simply recognise the Union men who remain in those
States. Such men as Mr.. Flanders and Mr.. May, AM
whole host of others who known slaveOwLers are
sat fed that the Un men of the South must see to
it that slavery must be permitted to be establish
ed in those ates Take such as the Hon. Charles
Anderson when he went homs stood for the Union,
what did the slave arstocracy do for him They droge
him from the State, and his wife and tts ones were
obliged to take shelter in the BUSH And with muttudes
Of Union Texas at the present day. but of III

Of the Gov, pledged them and then they will
take care b settle this question f slavery They will
amend the Constitution t put the slavery question
where it ought to be. When that Is done who s going
to talk about the p Oc!smatonl !,


You have here, my feou-oi izens, intelligent state
men seems TO me, Of the manner in which this thing
be settled: simply by standing by the unconditional
Union men, who almost all of them have embraced the
doctrine of emancipation in the Border States and stand
ing by The Union in the rebelous states and letting
them protect themselves agant the institution OF slavery
We have heard good deal about popular sovereignty

protect themselves against what they conceive TO be evf
