are we not concentrating the nation's attention on Wilmington?
-
Why, instead, are we reading in the Herald,
-
that the anti-slavery amendment is being precipitated
-
onto the House floor for debate?
-

-
in what seems an unwarranted intrusion of the Executive
-
into Legislative prerogatives,
-
is compelling it to it's...
-
to what's likely to be its premature demise.
-
You hear?
-
You signed the Emancipation Proclamation,
-
You're done all that can be expected.
