at the mutdai consent of all concern
ed. No man is more willing to
honor the means which God used in
our emancipation than I—but J am
not willing to give any man more
honor than I candidly believe he
deserves. Our people have learned
to think that Abraham I incoln wa
the greatest champion of out cause, i
But such is n«>t true lb. thing)
that was uppermost in the mind of;
XL. Lineoli) wa4 thesalvatioii of the-
' Union So far as Mr. Lincoln was'
concerne d th.- Emancipation Procla
mation wa‘ purely ■* war measure —
for he would ‘‘save the Union with
or without freeing th. slaves. 1 rom
this single statement.> it must be,
ilcarto vou that our freedom was'
not first in Ab Lincoln’s mind, yet'
•I thard< (rod tor M r Lincoln lor his
election which had much .to do w ith
kindling the fire between the two
sections which resulted iu a bloody
.war whose crimson stream washed
awav the black stain of slavery. I|
thank God for a Charles Sumner.'
whose persistent efforts, sweeping
influence, trije patriotism and fat
seeing sagacitv almost compelled
Mr. Lincoln to issue the Emancipa
tion Proclamation which we cele
brate to-dav. We have never had
a truer nor abler friend than Charles
Sumner. I honor Mr. Lincoln, but
1 honor Charles Sumner more. I
thank God tor that brave man and
soldier Jeff Dav is. I thank God for
his electitin. Had the Southern
Confederacy placed a coward at its
head. We would not have been freed
as the results-of. .that four vears of
bloody war. If Jeff Davis bad not.
been a brave, great man fighting
from what he conceived to be, a
principle of right and justice (al
though he was wrong) he would
June accepted Lincoln’s offer of
surrender in ninety days.. If lie had
accepted, it is hard tor me to sje
from a .human standpoint how or
when we would have been freed
The odds were against Jeff I >av is
lie confronted a greater army than
his, far more skilled in the science of
war and far more skilled in he
manufacture of arms and with all
the power the shattered government
h;id. at its hack. I'his Would ha\»
been a suflicient inducement f<y,
perhaps am body but Jell' Davis to
have acce-plejl Mr, LincolnS (inglo
rious offer). I call it inglorious from
nix stand point, for had Jelf Davis
acc.t pfed it 1 do not see how I could
have been freed. I’he truth of it is
that God was using both Abraham
Lincoln and |etf I)av is to, bring tp
light this child of freedom the birth
of w hich w e celebrate to-dav. Our.
past is shrouded in shame, degrada
jjifhl. ignomim. ignoranc*., ouirages

I mation has only served to check

must do for oui selves. The mother
mat give liirth to the child, but can
not give" it growth and strength.
The I'ederal army nor the Grand

They are not given They must be
