I'his proclama- 14 tion inaugurated a new era in the national struggle ; flashed new light across the Atlantic with regard to the relative status of the contending parties, and gave cheer to the friends of good government at home. It placed in broader light the fact, that the rebelhon originated in the interest of slavery, and had for its object its extension and perpetuation de- spite the will of the majority, and even at the sacri- fice of the nation's life ; and of course, that the speediest... and best way to crush the revoh, was by eradicating its mischievous cause. It was an act of splendid statesmans-hip, which has won for its author the enviable cognomen — The Great Liberator — and will make his name live throuoh all comiui]; time as the benefactor of his age, and a blessing 1o the hu- man race. In his efforts to suppress the rebellion, and in di- recting our domestic and foreign affairs, involving at times, as they did, the most complex and ditiicult questions, he displayed a wisdom, a prudence, a pen- etration, a breadth of view, and a magnanimity, which, if equaled, have never been surpassed by any other ruler m ancient or in modern times.
