I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to cor- rect 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 pur- pose according to my view of official duty, and I intend no modifica- tions of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free. "Yours, "A. LINCOLN." In about a month from... the time of Mr. Greeley's letter. Lincoln issued his "Emancipation Proclamation." ON SLAVERY. Of his battle against slavery one of his biographers says: "The colored race, when it becomes sufficiently educated to appreciate his career, must always recognize him as the chief author of t'neir emancipation from slavery and their equal citizenship." His constant warfare against slavery was well shown by his opposition to the Mexican War, because that meant the annexation of Texas as slave territory.
