When Congress assembled a year ngi,
'.he war h-id already lasted neatly twenty
months, and there had been many con
flicts on bolh land ami sea, with varying
sesuhfi. The rebellion had Icon pressed
hack into reduced limits ; yet the tone of
public feeling and opinion, at homo and
abroad, was not satisfactory. With other
signs, the popular elections, the.i just
past, indicated unensiness among our
selves, while timid much that wits cold
and menacing Iho kindest words coming
from Europe were uttered in accents of
pity, that wo wore loo blind to surren
der a hopeless c iuso. Our coniruercu wa
siiU'erirg croatly by a f.jw armed vessels
built upon and furnished from foreign!
shores, and we were threatened with such
additions from Ihe aiiie quarter as would

shall not attempt to relnct or modily iho

return to slavery any person who i.t free
by the terms cl' that' proclamation, or by

and other reasons it is thought best that

To avoid iiiijur.dorstnt'.ding, it may be
proper to say that this proclamation, so
far as it relates lo State governments, has
no reference to States w herein loyal Slate
governments have all the whilo been
maintained. And for the same reason, il
may be proper to further say, that wheth
er members sent to Congress from any
constitu
tionally, rests exclusively with the respec
tive Mouses, and not to any extent with
the Fixeciilite. And tlill further, that
this j roclamation is intended lo lament
the people of tho States wherein the
national authority has been suspended,
inci i Kin nn1 war power is still our main
reliance. To that pow er alone ran we look,
yet for a time, to give conli.Uino to the
pcoplu in the contested regions, that tho
insurgent power will nol again overrun
them. Until that confidence shall he os-tabli-died,
little can bo tlono anywhere lor
what is called reconstruction. Hence our
chiefest care must still be directed to Iho
army and navy, who have thus far borno
their harder part so nobly and well.
