a democrat to interfere, hastily. with,
State rights. He did not wish to alien—
ate the bOrder States, in which there
were many loyal men who held slaves,

be. as a war measure, to issue his

might be Won by the Northern army.

was regarded as a policy of weakness
and vacillation. But the wisdom of it
is now recognized and known of all
men.
