eward. Niles's Register, vol. VII., pp. 345, 346. For many of the foregoing data I am indebted to Mr. George Livermore's recent and valuable work, entitled An Historical Research respecting the Opinions of the Founders of the Republic on Negroes as Slaves, as Citizens, and as Soldiers. But the course of events has pretty effectually changed public opinion on the subject. From Major-General Hunter's department, In a letter from General Hunter, written from South Carolina, Feb. II, 1863, to a friend, he says:— Finding that the able-bodied negroes did not enter the military service as rapidly as could be wished, I have resolved, and so ordered, that all who are not regularly employed in the Quartermaster's Department, or as officers' servants, shall be drafted. In this course I am sustained by the views of all the more intelligent among them. In drafting them I was actuated by several motives,—the controlling one being that I regarded their service as a military nec

nrelenting vigor. When it ceased, the cry went out, All hands to the rescue—save what we can from the wreck! And, without the fear of contradiction, I boldly assert, that after the South laid down their arms, the earliest, the strongest, the most constant friends they had at the North, were among the file-leaders of the first crusade against Slavery, and among the rank and file of the men who had done the hardest fighting during the war. In the October number of the Atlantic Monthly for 1863, with his usual ability, in an article on Our Domestic Relations, or, How to Treat the Rebel States, Mr. Sumner goes over a part of this ground. Assuming that the Union victory had already been substantially won,—although hundreds of thousands of lives, and uncounted millions of treasure were yet to be added to complete the immolation,—the Senator enters upon the discussion of a question which was soon to assume such vast magnitude—How we were to treat the Rebel States. It became clear that

LXV. As a war measure, The Proclamation of Emancipation, Jan. I, 1863, was the first effectual blow struck at the heart of the rebellion. It shook the structure to the centre. It was the last thing the slave oligarchy had thought of. . It came upon them like the trump of doom. It annihilated all hope of intervention by the Powers of Europe, in behalf of the slave-propped rebellion. This they acknowledged themselves. They saw—it was clear enough even to the blind—that the first throne in Europe which took sides with slavery in America, would crumble to dust in the earthquake of a revolution. It banished all idea of the recognition of the Confederacy from the brain of every minister in Europe. It was one of the grandest deeds ever enacted on the earth; it will have more influence over the fortunes of the human race, than almost any act of any other ruler of nations. Scarcely had a short month gone by, before it was known to every sitter in the Valley of the Shadow of Deat
