SECTION 9 .- And be it further enacted, That upon affidavit made by the claimant of such fugitive, his or her agent or attorney, after such certificate has been issued, that he has reason to apprehend that such fugi- tive will be rescued by force from his or their possession before he can be taken beyond the limits of the State in which the arrest is made, it shall be the duty of the officer making the arrest to retain such fugitive in his custody, and to remove him to the State whence he

fled, and there to deliver him to said claimant, his agent, or attorney. And to this end, the officer aforesaid is hereby authorized and required to employ so many per- sons as he may deem necessary to overcome such force, and to retain them in his service so long as circum- stances may require. The said officer and his assist- ants, while so employed, to receive the same compensa- tion, and to be allowed the same expenses as are now allowed by law for transportation of criminals, to be certified by the judge of the district within which the arrest is made, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.
LINCOLN'S CAUTION AND CONSCIENTIOUSNESS .- LET- TER TO HORACE GREELEY .- VISIT FROM DELEGA- TION OF MINISTERS .- PROCLAMATION OF EMANCIPA- TION .- EXTRACTS FROM MESSAGES IN REFERENCE TO IT .- AMENDMENTS . ABOLISHING AND PROHIBITING SLAVERY.
During the early period of the war President Lincoln was severely and mercilessly criticised, not only by his political opponents, for the measures he had taken to crush the rebellion, but by his impetuous anti-slavery friends, who thought him too tardy in availing himself of an opportunity to declare freedom to the slave, which they claimed was then within his power, and which it was his duty to enforce.
Although the Southern States were in rebellion, and had seceded when he assumed the duties of President of the United States, he felt that he was conscientiously. bound to preserve the union of States, if possible, by the best means he could employ, according to the Constitu- tion, and in fulfillment of the following oath of office :
" I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully
1
388
HISTORY OF THE
execute the office of President of the United States, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
He had neither time nor inclination to harrow up his mind by considering the many hostile letters and articles in newspapers, aimed like so many arrows at him and his policy, preferring to direct his attention to acquiring a full knowledge of the entire situation of the whole country, and in accordance with that knowledge to adapt the best means to the best ends.
Sitting upon the highest place in the National Gov- ernment, he had a better opportunity of seeing and knowing the varied condition of affairs, and what move- ments to make, than many in lower positions who pre- sumed to knew more.
" His soul, whose vision, place nor power could dim Moved slow and reverently, that he might scan, And not mistake the part assigned to him In the Creator's plan."
He was always looking toward emancipation, and was ready to issue such a proclamation when he felt that it would be sustained by the army and by the States not then in rebellion. Hence hesaid : " Agitate the question. Get the people ready. AGITATE, AGITATE." But Horace Greeley, growing impatient, published a letter in the New York Tribune, directed to Lincoln, to which he made the following reply :
" EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug. 22, 1862.
. HON. HORACE GREELEY-Dear Sir : I have just read yours of the 19th addressed to myself through the New York Tribune. If there be in it any statements or assumptions of fact which I may know to be erroneous, I do not now and here controvert them. If there be in
389
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.
"As to the policy I 'seem to be pursuing,' as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
"I would save the Union. I would save it the short- est way under the Constitution. The sooner the National authority can be restored, the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.' If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save Slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy Slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could do it by freeing all the slaves I would do it, and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about Slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of 'official duty,' and I intend no modifica- tion of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.
" Yours, A. LINCOLN."
When Horace Greeley published his letter he was ignorant of the fact that Lincoln had already matured a definite policy of emancipation, ready to be announced at a suitable moment.

HISTORY OF THE
He was waited upon some time after that by a church delegation from Chicago, to urge upon him the necessity, and to impress upon him that it was his duty to issue a proclamation of emancipation. It was Lincoln's policy in all cases before taking an important and advanced step, to weigh the arguments on both sides, and the chances of failure or success, and to act accordingly. He therefore presented the adverse arguments and facts which had all along confronted him, especially in the army, and in the border States, and asked them to con- fute those arguments, and to show to him that the way was clear, that the obstacles he had shown to be in the way would no longer be a barrier, but that the mass of the people would support the proclamation. His object was to draw from them any new thought, or any fact he had not himself considered. But he discovered they had nothing new to give him, that they did not know all the opposition he had to contend with, that their chief line of argument was the oft-reiterated decla- ration that it was clearly his duty to abolish, by procla- mation, the institution of slavery. He listened to their advice, but gave them no satisfaction as to what he would do, and they left him, saying there was no use in pleading further with him. One of them, however, returned immediately and said : " Mr. Lincoln, I cannot leave 'you yet; I have a message direct from God to you, and that is that you set his people free."
" Well, now," said Lincoln, " if God intended that message to come ' direct to me,' why didn't he send it to me directly, instead of sending it away around by that terribly wicked city of Chicago ?" The minister turned and left, and thus ended the visit.

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
Little did they know that in his coat-pocket was then folded that important document which in a short time was to go out upon the wings of the American press, proclaiming freedom to four millions of slaves whose sweat had bedewed American soil.
On the twenty-second day of September, 1862, he issued that memorable PROCLAMATION, that " on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or any designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, SHALL BE THEN, THENCE- FORWARD, AND FOREVER FREE."
On the first of January, 1863, he issued the following Proclamation, which was to supplement that of Septem- ber, 1862, and which crowned the Temple of American Liberty with the completeness of its architectural design:
WHEREAS, On the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the Presi- dent of the United States containing, among other things, the following, to wit :
That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or any desig- nated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be thenceforward and forever free, and the Executive Gov- ernment of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and main- tain the freedom of such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
That the Executive will on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof re-
1

HISTORY OF THE
spectively shall then be in rebellion against the United States, and the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be in good faith repre- sented in the Congress of the United States by members, chosen therefor at elections, wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof are not then in rebellion against the United States.
" Now, therefore, I Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and Government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for repressing said rebellion, do, on this First day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty- three, and in accordance with my purpose so to .do, publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days from the day of the first above-mentioned order, designate as the States and parts of States, wherein the people thereof respectively are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit: Arkan- sas, Texas, Louisiana, except the parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James, : Ascension, Assumption, Terre Bonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the city of New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkely, Accomac, Northamp- ton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess, Ann and Norfolk," " including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and which excepted parts are, for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.
"And by virtue of the power and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare, that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of
UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. 393
States, are and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive Government of the United States, in- including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.
"And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free, to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defense, and I recommend to them, that in all cases, when allowed, they labor faithfully for reason- able wages.
"And I further declare and make known that such persons of suitable condition will be received into armed service of the United States, to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels- of all sorts in said service.
"And upon this, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution upon military necessity I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God."
At the close of the annual message to Congress, December, 1864, Lincoln said :
" I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that while I remain in my present position, I shall not attempt to retract or modify the Emancipation Proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that Proclamation or by any of the Acts of Congress.
" If the people should, by whatever mode, or means, make it an Executive duty to re-enslave such persons, another, and not I, must be the instrument to perform it."
In his second Inaugural Address, speaking of the North and the South, and the continuance of the war, he said :
" Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing his bread from the sweat of other men's faces. But let us judge not that we be not judged." * * * * *

HISTORY OF THE
" Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unre- quited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

These Amendments were ratified by the requisite number of States according to the requirements of the Constitution, and certified to as follows :
Secretary Seward certified to the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 18th, 1865; and to that of the 14th Amendment, July 20th, 1868.
Secretary Fish certified to the ratification of the 15th Amendment March 30th, 1870. On the same day Gen. Grant sent a message to Congress, in which he said, " I consider the adoption of the 15th Amendment to the Constituton completes the greatest civil change, and constitutes the most important event that has occurred since the nation came into life."
The adoption of an Amendment dates from the certi- fication of the Secretary of State.
"It is the Lord's doings and marvelous in our eyes."

THE JOURNAL
A Paper Devoted to the Interests of the Society of Friends.
"FRIENDS, MIND THE LIGHT."-GEORGE FOX.
.
PUBLISHED AT PHILADELPHIA AND LANCASTER.
The Journal is now nearing the middle of its eleventh volume. Its conductors consider this a fitting time and opportunity at which to urge its claims to recognition and support upon Friends. They feel at liberty so to do because they have, to the best of their ability, made it a paper worthy of such recognition and support; such a paper, in fact, as should be in every Friend's family. The report of Philadel- phia Yearly Meeting of 1883 is one of the best reports of a Woman's Meeting that has ever appeared in any paper. Numerous other inter- esting and valuable reports of meetings appear in its columns from · time to time, making it just such a vehicle of news, of a religious character, as Friends need. A number of Friends contribute to its columns articles upon vital and important subjects bearing upon our principles and testimonies. In addition to these contributions, the editors have obtained the consent of Graceanna Lewis, of Philadel- phia, the distinguished naturalist, to write occasionally for its columns. The first of her contributions, an interesting account, in three parts, of the beaver, is now in process of publication. "Such are a few of the features that render The Journal a paper that every Friend should read and support. Its conductors trust that Friends will do every- thing in their power to assist in extending its circulation and infinence.
The terms are, as they have long been, Ten Copies for 820, one year; 1 copy free to the getter up of the club. Five Copies for $11.23, one year; 1 copy free for six months to the getter up of the club.
