Proclamation on Slavery and Union Policy by Lincoln
President Lincoln states the government has no knowledge of any genuine proclamation by Gen. Hunter freeing slaves and warns the public that the circulating document is unauthorized and void. He appeals for calm, urging Congress to consider a gradual abolition plan and calls for national unity beyond party politics.
