Jlul not second to these is that noble eonr

Men ever lollow willingly 11 daring
leader; most willingly of all in great
emergencies. Holdness and decision com
mand, often even in evil, the respict and
concurrence of mankind. How much
more in good.
I here is it measure needing cnumgo to
iidont mid enhance it. which I believe lo
be of virtue fitiflicienl to icdeeni the nation
in this its darkest hour; one only; I know
of no other to which wo tuny rationally
trust Tor relief 110111 impending daiigeis
without mid within.
The dnngeis which threaten us me two
fold: I' irs.1, from tho Confederate forces,
conipoFed of men whose earnest convic
tions and reckless bravery it is idlo to
deny. Secondly, from 0111 selves, compelled
to make use ol n military power of pio
portions to gigantic thai 110 nation ever
permittid the exist euro of nieh without
moie or less 1 isle to the people who em
ployed it. If we think lightlv of this
latter danger, we slight the (cachings of
ull past time.
As to the llrst : Have you not had your
moments of doubt whether we arc to suc
ceed at nil? whether the Union, once so
glorious, will ever be rc-united? whether
peace, which wu iiFod to enjoy with us lit
tlu gratitude as we do the Vu'u or the air
we breathe, will ever again fettle down
over our distracted country?
If I have doubts of all" this, it is only
becaiiFO I do not know what your action
-will he. We have at our disposal the
means or certain miccc.-s; but I cannot
tell whether, while there is jet time, you
will decide to employ them.
Our enemies, like the (jiecian hero, have
otic vulnerable point. You have not
touched it yet. What fliould huvo been
their element of wenkners him luen sulll-rcd
to remain mi element of strength.
They have nearly a million of able
bodied men ol lit age for war or for labor.
Holding these men in bondage, mid em
ploying iliem to till the soil, I hey ure ena
bled tot-end to llio but tie-field almost their
entire white adult population, yet preserve
their commissariat siiflleienlly supplied.
It li3S nlways been a great wrong that
the:-o men mid their families should ha
held in bondage. "We of the North have,
hitherto acquiesced in it, lest, in the en
deavor to redress it in violation of the
Constitution, greater evils might ensue.
Hut the time has come when it ;V consti
tutional to udrers it. The rebellion has
iiuiile it so. Property in man, always mor
ally unjust, has become nationally ("lunger
oun. Property that eiulangeis the s.ileiy
of n tuition should not besnU'ered lo remain
in the lunula of its citizens. A Chief Mag
istrate wh.o snfn'is it fo to icmain bceorrus
1 ('sponsible (or the conseqiieuefs. For he
has tho right, under the law mid tho Con
stitution, 10 tnko private property, witii
just eotnpens.ition ofl'ered. for pub'lio use,
whenever it ia nppaient that any public
exigency demai.ds such appropriation.
Forgive what may seem curt s-peccli if I
eay that, in my judgment, a Picr.ident with
a just tetiiu of duly has no uptiou in such
u ease.
In thodueexeiciseof your oflicinl power,
in strictest aeeoidancc with law and the
Coniiiulinn, you can deprive tlio enemy
of that which, above all elcu, has given,
mid still gives him uid and comfort ; you
can decline emancipated his slaves, the sup
pliets of hie ceiuuiiaariul. Gradually,
uu can deprive him of these ; and Tor ev
eiy huudiui thousand pioductive lulioieis

sand sold.crs. With their md ymi eaii
rriich the lest. What then remains for
him V lie must thin his 1 auks to cultivate
Ins ptmnatitius, lie must labor for his
own fond, or must perish lor the lack of it.
The pidplo are forbidden lo give uid
and comfort to the tebels. What ol a
(I'liveriinit'iit that has power to cut ull' from
aid mid comfort all the icbelsol theSuulh,
it 1 icl falls to exeiuise it ?
Wu ought to do tlmt which is right,
even if the iccompcnse nc dUtaut and un
certain ; but we add fully to injustice, if
wi! neglect 11 great act ol lienihcenee that
is to be rewarded, even now, by our own
piiservatiou.
Yet ngain. Can you look fonvnrd to
the lulurc of our couutiy, mid imagine any
slate of things in which, with slavery niil
existing, we should be assured of perma
nent pence.' J cannot. Wo can eonatitu
Initially extirpate slavery at. this time.
Hut if we fail to do this, then, unless we
intend hereafter to violate the Constitu
tion, wo shall have a fugitive j.luvo law in
opeintbiti whenever the war is over. Shall
the Ninth have snerilierd a hundred thou

cost? After voiuiitaiy exertions 011 the
part of our people lo wiiicli tho histoiy of
the world furnilies 110 parallel, is i ho old
root of bitterness still to remain in the
ground to sprout mid bear fruit in the In
line us it lias borne fiuit in the past?
Tin se questions me uddrrhHil to you.
For upon you mid upon your action more
than any other ouu thing does the unswer
depend. You have, at this time, more
power than any constitutional monarch in
tliu world. The Kunlish (lovernment al
ways acts nccordiiiL' to tl poliev tip-
provnl by the constitutional nilvit-crs of
the Crown. You would violate nsoge
only IT you should act without the. advice,
or even contrary to the opinions of your
constitutional adviseis. I do not mean
that you could continue to do this with-
piopiiety. or even wflli safety; I meiely
acrt that the power is. in point of fact,
in your hands. And'for such a power,
what 11 responsibility to Cod mid .Man I
It is within your power ut this very
moiiii'iit. not only to comminute an net
of enlightiued statesmanship, but us the
iiMriimcnl of the Almighty, lo icstore to
freedom a race of men. If you arc tempt
ed by mi Imperishable name, it is within
your reach We may look ihroiiHi undent
and modem history, vet scarce liml 11 sov-
erign to whom God oflend the privilege of
bestowing on liumauily 11 boon so va.-t.
Such an oiler comes to 110 human being
twice. It is made to you today. How
hug ii will remain open whether in three
months or In ouu month from now.it will
bo ut your option to accept it God, who
leads tho hearts of men, alone knows.
And this brings me to speak or another
clues of diiiiL-ers iho.-o which may urine
lieic in the Nortii mnong ouisclvcs.
Do you read the daily newspaper press,
dial wonueriiil and ni.-tnietive modern in
dex of the passing opinions of thu times?
If so, have you not ucenilyseen there signs
111.11 sinrtiHl you ndvice, iiuducioiisly giv
en in cei tain quarters, that it is time the
army t-hould tuku the power in its own
hands mid demand the dismii-siii from
your Cabinet of the best men in ! ? Ilnvu
you no fnctB in your own experience going
to prove that Mich audacity has not shown
its head without power mid numbers that
render it formidable? 1 do not liar jt;
not now, if it is uranglul ut its birth,
but l.e tempts Providence who snflcrs that
spirit ol anarchy to grow uu.l gather
strenght before striking a blow for its de
struction. You cannot be ignorant of the design
of these men. lie that 1 litis may rrud it.
They see that wo in? drifting towawls
emancipation. They see that ihe demand
from the masses of our people fur this great
measure U becoming, day by day, more
importunate. They know that a majority
of your Cabinet favor it. They fed as
sured, as lo yoiiiM-lf, that if the option re
niiiimd with you. it is but n question of
time mid of firm when ami how a procla
mation of emancipation will be issued.
They perceive but ouu power that has any
chmice successfully t urrest this stream
mid coerce your uetion. Openly they np
pciu to it. Openly they decluro that
Cabinet MjuisteiR must bu imposed
upon jou by military dictation. No oth
er coiiiso is left the into effect their gicut
object, namely, to perpetitito among us
that slavery which the nation, with n de
termination wliich iiicicasts from day to
day, is resolved to uproot.
One blow may be dealt by you against
these men that will crush foiever their
treasonable cabals. It is, the sumo thut
lays- the foundution of pease and assures,
VOL. VI r NO. uh
beyond po-siblu penidveiituie, thu dowi

gr. They lend eiuuncipalioii in tho signs
of the tniiis. It wu-i to ti em the handwri
ting on tho wall, lorctdiui'owitiir their p -iilieul

suit lo dispcinte melius to arrest its ad

argument, to entice the unwary into tin
tanks of sedition? Hy pioinpt action
alone can you pievcntit. It is idle In await
unanimity. Aleii aeqtr.e-ee in 11 thousand
things, once liglilly nml boldly done, tn
which, if propo.cd to them In advance,
they might liml endless objection.
Do you hesitate? Wnl you delay tho
blow? See to it, that when, at last, your
resilutioti is taken, thu power tuny not al
ready have pased away from your hands.
Toe 'JUd of September appiouehcs tho
date when the sixty days notice you l:av

we have waited the time. Is nothing t"

it?
What n day. if you but will it, may thnt

lebels of dUpuir, to every loyal heart of

Dm:.v:i:s ov Washington. Tlio cor
respondent of tho New Voik Commercial
Advertiter, Miys : You have been eoiitJiini
ly inlorined by tclegiums mid concspoia'
ents that " Washington is mfe." This K
iinduibtedly li tie. Indeed, it may be ques
tioned whether the capital, at any moment,
lias been in ical danger. Tho le'bd au
thorities have never, ut any time, to can.
sidcrcd it. Hut it in well that il should bo
known that the chief defence of Washing
ton consists in thu munition of locks'
that surround tho entire eiicuuil'ereiicc or
the city. Iib location is such, ucmly iu
the centre of an area exactly ten mile
sqiiaie, thnt every approach to it can be
securely guarded. There at e flfty-t wo foi ts.
ami several parallel linen of eniluinkmenls
at this liour around Washington. The
fortifications on Arlington Heights are
alone of sufficient strength to deft ml tlm
Capital nguint an army of live hundrtil
thousand invaders, All tho guns of the
forts me iu pel feet range of each other,
and command every inch of space be
tween. In addition to these the embank
ments can tbiow heavy shells for overt hi ee
miles beyond, while the gunboats iu tin:
river, within tlio linc-n of battle, can reach
even further. In all the points iljippni the
veiy best of our picked troops are Ma
tiond, eoiumuuded by experienced oflicers.
It is sale to say that four hundred thou
sand drilled men nro on duty, with mi
abundant supply of ordinunco .and ammu
nition, for the immediate defence of the
Capital of the nation. Hence, Washing
ton ii safe.
