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.

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.
