In Europe it will be hailed by the friends of liberty and progress as the dawning of a new era iu the United States, and it will make the line of demarkatiou at home more distinct between the supporters and oppo- nents of the Government. I rejoice that I am about to be permitted to record my vote in favor of this humane and beneficent measure. It is a day which, in com- mon with millions of my countrymen, I have long hoped to see ; and if I never give another vote in this House or elsewhere, I ...shall not have lived in vain, especially if I have hastened, even a single hour, the adoption by Congress of this act of national justice and national liber- ation. I shall have the satifaetion of leaving the enduring record of an action of which my children cannot but be proud, and of which no true man in any Christian nation could be ashamed. It is said, if the slaves in this District are at once emancipated, that society and domestic regulations will be greatly deranged ; that peace, order, security, industry, and content- ment will be banished, and violence, disorder, robbery, idleness and crime will increase ; that such an act can do no possible good, while it would be unjust and a great hardship to both master and slave.
