The next was an act, which I had the honor to introduce, prohibiting slavery in all the territories, and wherever the National Government had jurisdiction. But the great, the decisive act of his administration, was the "Emancipation Procla- mation. " EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.
The President had urged with the utmost earnestness on the loyal slave-holders of the Border States, gradual and compensated emancipation, but in vain. He clearly saw, all saw, that the slaves, as used by the confederates
..., were a vast power, contributing immensely to their ability to carry on the war, and that by declaring their freedom, he would convert millions of freedmen into active friends and allies of the Union. The people knew that he was deliberating upon the question of issuing this Emancipation Proclama- tion. At this crisis, the Union men of the Border States made an appeal to him to withhold the edict, and suffer slavery to survive.
They selected John J. Crittenden, a venerable and elo- quent man, and their ablest statesman, to make, on the floor of Congress, a public appeal to the President, to withhold the proclamation.
