Now let us analyze this resolution and we
find that it asserts three very distinct propo
sitions:
1 It declares what is not the purpose of the
i war: IHs not “in a spirit of oppression,” nor
i for any purpose of conquest or subjugation,
j 2. It declares what is the purpose of the
! war: “To defend and maintain the Constitn-
| tion, and to preserve the Union, with all the
| dignity, equality and rights of the several
j States unimpaired.”
| 3. It is declared that when the war shall
; cease: “As soon as these objects are accom-
I plished trie war ought to cease;” that is, as
! soon as the Constitution is maintained and the
• Union preserved with the dignity, equality
! and rights of the States unimpaired, the war
! ought to cease.

“ In case of doubt, the interpretation goes
against him who prescribed the terms, for as
it was, in some measure dictated by him, it
was his own fault if he neglected to express
himself more clearly, and by extending or
restricting the signification of the expression
to that meaning which is least favorable to
him, we either do him no injury, or we or
do him that to which he has willfully exposed
himself; whereas, by adopting a contrary mode j
of interpretation, we would incur tke risk of;

During the war, Mr. Lincoln, as President of
the United States, -.-.cued his proclarqation,
emancipating slaves in certain States and parts
of States. But this itself was declared to be a
war measure only. Afterward the Congress
had proposed to the States an amendment to
the Constitution,abolishing slavery everywhere.
But the States had not ratified it. It was,
therefore, only a proposition undetermined at
the time of the surrender. The slave States
accepted and ratified this proposed amendment,
and thus by the act of the slave States, after
chills, and we will risk his testimony.
