Dana, in his Recollections of the Civil War (page 180 rt seq. ) says: " The people of the North might themselves' have become half rebels if this proclamation had been issued too soon, " and that " two years before, perhaps, the conse- quences of it might have been our entire defeat. " How per- sistent the opposition continued to be may be judged con- 40 The Real Lincoln.
clusively by the fact that Lincoln's emancipation proclamation failed, as late as June, 1864, to get the two-thirds vote nec

But the crowning proof of the attitude of a very large part of the people of the North and the West is the platform and the nominee adopted by the Democratic party for the presi- dential election of 1864, near the end of the war. It advocated the abandonment of the war, *and the nominee was McClellan, an avowed opponent of emancipation. Such was the issue adopted on which to appeal to the North and the West, and the framers of it were called by Lincoln's Secretary of the Navyf some of the most astute and experienced statesmen of their day.
