It must be genera!, not partial; extend- ing not to the slaves of rebels only, but to every slave on this continent. Even if it were practi- cable, which it is not, with slavery non-existent in the northern states and abalished in those which persist in rebellion, to maintain it in the narrow border-strip, it is precisely there, where negro fugitives can the most readily escape, that its maintenance would the most certainly lead to war. Can this great peace measure be constitutionally enacted ?... A proclamation or (the more appropriate form) an act of General Emancipation, should, in its preamble, set forth, in substance, that the claims to service or labor of which it deprives certain persons having been proved, by recent events, to be of a character endangertng the supremacy of the law, jeopardizing the integrity of the Union, and incompatible with the permanent peace of the country, are taken by the government, with just compensation made. Under circumstances far less urgent than these, the law or custom of civilized nations, based on considerations of pub- lic utility, authorizes such taking of private pro- perty for public use.
