That government still belongs to them - it is their heritage  and they  I trust  will yet restore and preserve it The horoscope of the future daily brightens with hopeful signs  not the least of which is the fact that the President of the United States  who was elected to his high Office upon a declaration of political principles logically Involving the extermination of slavery as existing in fifteen States of the Federal Union  and which could not therefore be carried out without making the Union a divided house  has himself become the supporter of a constitutional and conservative policy in regard to Slavery. Let us thank God and take courage. If the govern ment will but stand firmly on constitutional ground  we will not despair of the Republic.  It is also due to truth to say that one object [have in the present publica tion is to disabuse the minds of some of my fellow-citizens  whose good Opinion I value  who have been misled by false statements charging me with sympathy with the Southern rebellion. The Opinions now published were the result of patient investigation  and are still held with earnest conviction  confirmed by the events of the past year. Of their justice and patriotism  and whether or not they are the Opinions of a sympathizer with rebellion  candid men will judge.
