j deemed it might and should have
do'ne to niako il» good works duly elfectual.^ It
might bave passed a Declaratory Act
that slavery was abolished cverywhei
welt as disloyal Slates, by Iho nccCJssiiiCB of tho umi
aad Military condition of the country, consequent on
Iho rebellion. And it should have made a resolulo
attempt to remove from tbe public councils the prime
minister, whom a majority of ils membera believed
to hava no faith in tho necessity or Ihe practicability
or the policy of Emancipalion, which they regarded
us tho only salvation for tbe Nation. Congress holds
precisely tbo same power over the constitution of our
Cabinet as Parliament does over thai of England.
It ia tbo power of tbo purse, tho potentiality of Iho
withholding of the supplies, that makes an opposi-
tion majority equivalent to a cbaogo of ministry,
Nolbiag can well bo ninre. unparliamealary than
custom of leaving iho Adm
by Congress. It makes tho President virtually irre-
sponsible in making him nominally responsible.
This would have been a good oi^HMJn for introduc-
ing a more pnrliamenlary course of practice, which
would have givun unily and inspired energy into iho

e'bcc°: Wo will wTof«K
what the lasl Congress has done for good, and hope,
with trembling, that the next may not try to undo it.
Tho attitude of tbe Abolitionists towards tbe gov-
ernment is to novel a one. that it. is not astonishing
that their lono of criticism should bo misunderslood.
In point of fact, they and the slave
changed places in regard to tho Constit
Dniou, Four years ago the slaveholders were all
loyalty to tho Nniioa, and claimed it as Iho bulwark
and citadel of their property in men. We, on the
other band, seeing it in precisely tbo same light,
denounced It and came out from it, that wo might
not help guard tbe accursed thing it contained and
protecled. But now tho sccno is entirely clanged.
Tho slaveholders are denouncing the Constitution
nnd Union, and have como out from it with stolen
arms in their hands, whilo the Abolitionists are
maintaining aad sustaining both, nnd helping to
establish them. This is the necessary result of natu-
ral antagonism. What tho slaveholder loves Ihe
Abolitionist must hale, aad what tho ono enditnvon
to destroy Ihe other must see it is his office to defend.
The Abolitionists never had any objectioa to a Union
of States, nor yel lo the Conslitutioo of tbo Uniled
States, as' far ns its mere letter went. It was to the
vilo uses to which tbo ono was perverted, and the
eonslruction which was put upon the other by it(
authentic expounders, that made thoiu dennunco it nt
a " Covenant wilh Death and aa Agreement with
Hell." But when, as Mr.Garrison epigrammatically
put it, Death and Hell had tcceded froai tho Consti-
tution, ihey' carried our objections along wilh (hem.
By the Rebellion, we held, slavery was actually
abolished, as far as National support
in the rebellious Stales, nnd virtually abolished
everywhere, as a logical and political consequence of
the first proposition. Under tho influeacc of thesi
now views, arising from this new nnd unlooked-for
stato o( things, Iho Abolitionists
ejirnesl supporters of ihe Administrntion in every,
thing that looked towards a vigorous and successful
prosecution of tbo war. With slavery virtually out
of Iho Consliluiion, for Iho time being, they had no
difficulty about Bupporting it, and lo a war, virtually,
though aot nominally, waged against slavery, Ihey
were ready login ihoir cordial eouperalion. But they
woro not thcrvfort ettoj-p-jd from crnicising tho man-
ner iu which the war was carried on, or from ani-
madverting upon the acts of general officers or even
of Iho Administration itself, when they seemed to be
ploying the game of tbe enemy, advertently or inad-
vertently. Still less were wo bound to hold oat
peace from urging from the beginning the necessity,
now partially discerned, that victory and peace can
only bo had through Emancipalion and tho cotipera-
lion of [he slaves. And when this vital measure is
inadequately eaforced, and in danger of being
obslructed, if not defeated, bylimoroua if not treach-
erous counsel), it is incumbent upon ua of all men
to cry aloud aad spare not. Wu have no numerical
forco to turn the wavering scale of battle, or to
decidu the dubiou- balance jf cleeiiuns, but wc have
tho power oi making an oulcry and startling tho
Nalioa into nltenlion. And this, which wo have
always done, nnd which has been the means of all
oor successes, we do col propose to mhso from, until
tbo work is fin'uhed or given up, for this lutn.
The great diflerenco between our criticism of tbo
Administratioa and the Generals, and our censures
of the one or Ihe olher, and that of the Rebel party
at the North, is, that ours is friendly, loyal and help-
ful, and theirs hostile, traitorous and mischievous.
Neither true prospui
npaliblu wilh tho lob
_
~,
n of slavery within its borders. That eslii
paled, America will be a country worlh living and
worth dying for. And the Inith Ihi
struggling forwards towards Ibis gr.'jtl desliny is all
lhat gives dignity and interest lo Iho war now wng
.till bellovo in tho triumphant In«eu of lb
country as long ns this is ils general direction, i
nsional apparent or nclunl dovinliona
from tbo true course. And to this end we will do all
la our power to help and strengthen Iho government
in the carrying forward of tho war. Ou speedy
success in the field, bp have often said, we hold the
success of the present experiment of government
