Kentucky and Tennessee. Though where he felt that [11 ] he had not the right to emancipate by proclamation, he has nobly endeavored to bring about freedom by other means ; means which, I trust, will prove successful at no distant day. But what gives to this act of emancipation its great and permanent interest, and will make it memorable while the nation endures, or liberty has a home on the earth, is that it is an act of justice to an oppressed people. Viewed simply as a military act designed t...o cripple an enemy, it is believed that it will have great effect. But so viewed it proves us neither great in wisdom, nor strong in right. All generals do what they can to cripple their enemies. There is nothing extraor- dinary in that. In that is nothing to accredit us with any higher quality than sagacity. But we have done two things in one in this emancipation. "We have aimed a stroke of war policy at rebellion, and we have at the same time given back to millions of hu- man beings rights which were fe/rM-rights and inali- •enable, but of which they have been unjustly and cruelly robbed.
