THE　PRESIDENT　OF　THE　UNITED　STATES　OF　AMERICA：



A　Proclamation。



Whereas　on　the　22d　day　of　September；　A。D。　1862；　a　proclamation　was

any　efforts　they　may　make　for　their　actual　freedom。



〃That　the　executive　will　on　the　1st　day　of　January　aforesaid；　by

proclamation；　designate　the　States　and　parts　of　States；　if　any；　in

thereof　shall　on　that　day　be　in　good　faith　represented　in　the

Congress　of　the　United　States　by　members　chosen　thereto　at　elections

wherein　a　majority　of　the　qualified　voters　of　such　States　shall　have

participated　shall；　in　the　absence　of　strong　countervailing

testimony；　be　deemed　conclusive　evidence　that　such　State　and　the

people　thereof　are　not　then　in　rebellion　against　the　United　States。〃



Now；　therefore；　I；　Abraham　Lincoln；　President　of　the　United　States；

by　virtue　of　the　power　in　me　vested　as　Commander…in…Chief　of　the　Army

purpose　so　to　do；　publicly　proclaimed　for　the　full　period　of　one

hundred　days　from　the　first　day　above　mentioned；　order　and　designate

as　the　States　and　parts　of　States　wherein　the　people　thereof；

the　present　left　precisely　as　if　this　proclamation　were　not　issued。



And　by　virtue　of　the　power　and　for　the　purpose　aforesaid；　I　do　order

and　declare　that　all　persons　held　as　slaves　within　said　designated

States　and　parts　of　States　are；　and　henceforward　shall　be；　free；　and

that　the　Executive　Government　of　the　United　States；　including　the

military　and　naval　authorities　thereof；　will　recognize　and　maintain

the　freedom　of　said　persons。



And　I　hereby　enjoin　upon　the　people　so　declared　to　be　free　to　abstain

from　all　violence；　unless　in　necessary　self…defense；　and　I　recommend

to　them　that；　in　all　cases　when　allowed；　they　labor　faithfully　for

reasonable　wages。



And　I　further　declare　and　make　known　that　such　persons　of　suitable

condition　will　be　received　into　the　armed　service　of　the　United

And　upon　this　act；　sincerely　believed　to　be　an　act　of　justice；

warranted　by　the　Constitution　upon　military　necessity；　I　invoke　the

considerate　judgment　of　mankind　and　the　gracious　favor　of　Almighty

God。



In　witness　whereof　I　have　hereunto　set　my　hand　and　caused　the　seal　of

the　United　States　to　be　affixed。



Done　at　the　city　of　Washington；　this　first　day　of　January；　A。D。　1863；

and　of　the　independence　of　the　United　States　of　America　the

eighty…seventh。

MAJOR…GENERAL　HALLECK。



DEAR　SIR：General　Burnside　wishes　to　cross　the　Rappahannock　with　his

army；　but　his　grand　division　commanders　all　oppose　the　movement。　　If

in　such　a　difficulty　as　this　you　do　not　help；　you　fail　me　precisely

in　the　point　for　which　I　sought　your　assistance　You　know　what　General

Burnside's　plan　is；　and　it　is　my　wish　that　you　go　with　him　to　the

ground；　examine　it　as　far　as　practicable；　confer　with　the　officers；

getting　their　judgment；　and　ascertaining　their　temperin　a　word；

gather　all　the　elements　for　forming　a　judgment　of　your　own；　and　then

tell　General　Burnside　that　you　do　approve　or　that　you　do　not　approve

his　plan。　　Your　military　skill　is　useless　to　me　if　you　will　not　do

this。



Yours　very　truly；



A。　LINCOLN

TO　GENERAL　S。　R。　CURTIS。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON

JANUARY　2；　1863



MAJOR…GENERAL　CURTIS。



MY　DEAR　SIR：Yours　of　December　29　by　the　hand　of　Mr。　Strong　is　just

received。　　The　day　I　telegraphed　you　suspending　the　order　in　relation

to　Dr。　McPheeters；　he；　with　Mr。　Bates；　the　Attorney…General；　appeared

before　me　and　left　with　me　a　copy　of　the　order　mentioned。　　The　doctor

also　showed　me　the　Copy　of　an　oath　which　he　said　he　had　taken；　which

is　indeed　very　strong　and　specific。　　He　also　verbally　assured　me　that

he　had　constantly　prayed　in　church　for　the　President　and　government；

as　he　had　always　done　before　the　present　war。　　In　looking　over　the

recitals　in　your　order；　I　do　not　see　that　this　matter　of　the　prayer；

as　he　states　it；　is　negatived；　nor　that　any　violation　of　his　oath　is

charged　nor；　in　fact；　that　anything　specific　is　alleged　against　him。

The　charges　are　all　general：　　that　he　has　a　rebel　wife　and　rebel

relations；　that　he　sympathies　with　rebels；　and　that　he　exercises

rebel　influence。　　Now；　after　talking　with　him；　I　tell　you　frankly　I

believe　he　does　sympathize　with　the　rebels；　but　the　question　remains

whether　such　a　man；　of　unquestioned　good　moral　character；　who　has

taken　such　an　oath　as　he　has；　and　cannot　even　be　charged　with

violating　it
