and inaugurated the rebellion now in its death agony. The Presi- dent was lenient to a fault: ma-.ynanimous until further con- 6 cessions would have been a weakness. He tendered the olive branch again and again ; it was met with derision ; his prof- fers of amnesty and pardon with contempt and scorn. At last he resolved upon a war of extermination — not against the deluded people, but against the evil spirit that had entered and possessed them. Invoking upon this deed the judgment of posterity,... he emancipated a race, and gave to Freedom a continent. The judgment of the world upon this great act is already recorded, and the generations to come have but to attest it. The Nation stands sponsor to this deed, and ac- cepts it as her own. while policy and patriotism, justice and humanity all, all approve it, and crown its great author the champion of Human Freedom, the Benefactor of the race.
Henceforth there is no North, no South, with their vengeful feuds and sectional hatreds. It was slavery drew the dark and bloody line, and with the curse that created it, it has gone forever ; and in this great consummation Abraham Lin- coln stands forth the Regenerator as well as the Father of his rescued country.
