The platform adopted there does not say one word about slavery in the it opposed the introduction of slavery into the Territories and that was A great many Democrats have always been opposed to the extension of All that the first Republican convention said about slavery was that the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories of the United States for their and that in the exercise of this power it is both the right and the duty of Congress to prohibit in the Territories those twin relics of and next Republican convention was the one held in 18G0 which adopted the platform upon which Abraham Lincoln was elected This convention repeated the declaration of four years before against the extension of slavery into the but for fear that this should be thought to be the convention expressly the right of each State to maintain slavery if it chose to even if all the rest of the United States were opposed to it. The platform upon which Mr. Lincoln was elected President said the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the and especially the right of each State to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment is essential to that balance on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric was the promise of the Republican party that if successful in the election it would not touch slavery where it already the next year the war and the cabinet of President in which there were Republicans and and the Congress of the United States in which there were Republicans and hunted for means of weakening the Confederate One of the first laws enacted by Congress after the war began was the confiscation the of the United States the right to seize the property of men in rebellion against the general You were a part of that and you were seized by the officers of the United States as have been told a great many times that the Republican party carried on the war for four years to make you There are two lies in that The United States of both Republican and carried on that and it was not carried on to make you Not one of you would have been freed if it had been possible to the South without freeing Abraham Lincoln said first thing that President Lincoln in his address was thai the people of the South need not be at all alarmed lest tlie Republican party with slavery it would do nothing of the He quoted from his own speeches the have no directly or to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it I believe I have no to do ami no to do he went on to say who and elected nie did with full knowledge that I had made ' and had never recanted And more than that they placed in the platform for my acceptance and iis a law to themselves and to the clear and I now President Lincoln read the declaration printed above about the rights of the Stales to control their own domestic we said just of the first laws made by Congress to help conquer the South the confiscation act. It was under the authority of that act authorizing the officials of the United States to take all tlie property of men who wore fighting against the Government that President issued his emancipation In his first annual message to President Lincoln and by virtue of the act of entitled an act to confiscate property used for insurrectionary approved August 0, the legal claims of certain persons to

August 22, 1SG2, just a month before the emancipation proclamation was President Lincoln wrote a letter to Horace which he said paramount object in this struggle is to save the and is not either to save or destroy If I could save the without freeing any I would do it and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others I would also do What I do about slavery and the colored race I do because I believe it helps to save the Union and what I I forbear because I do not it would help to save the I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the you see that Abraham the best friend you ever had in the and the man whose memory you do well to cherish and said that he was not considering your good at but only the best means of succeeding in the a message which Lincoln sent to Congress a month earlier than this he said traitor against the general Government forfeits his slave at least as justly -is he does any other property and he forfeits both to the government against which he The so far as there can be thus owns the and the question for Congress in regard to them shall they be made free or sold to new masters I perceive no objection to Congress deciding in advance that they shall be To the high honor of I am she has been the owner of some slaves by and has sold but has liberated Lincoln himself said to Mr. Frank Carpenter had gone on from bad to worse till I felt that we had reached the end of our rope on the plan of operations we had been pursuing that we had about played our last card and must change our tactics or lose the I now determined upon the adoption of the emancipation for final testimony we have the
