. It was only after the slave trade became in a measure valueless, that steps were taken to emancipate slaves, and then emancipation was gradual and prospective. It is my deep conviction that slavery is to terminate in this nation. It is my belief that it would terminate the sooner by the immediate ces- sation of all bitterness of language^ all denunciation, and an honest holding out of hands on the part of the North to the South, and with them words of kindness and honest proffers of brotherly... love, and ex- pressions of sympathy and an earnest desire to cooperate with them as brothers of the same great American nation, in any plan having for its object the amelioration of slavery and its final overthrow. While*I have been thus free and unreserved in obedience to my con- scientious convictions in expressing my sentimfents on the Presidential issue, I must not be regarded as going beyond'that issue in my commit- ment. For nearly thirty years my life has been devoted to an honest effi3rt to enlighten, persuade, and convince the public mind on the great evils resulting from the use of intoxicating drinks, and the manifold so- cial, pecuniary, moral, and political injuries flowing from the drinking usages of society, and one of the last bonds which holds the South to the North now is a communion of interest and efibrt ori this important sub- ject.
