Description

Excerpt from Union and Anti-Slavery Speeches: Delivered During the Rebellion The reader will probably observe the progressive development of opinion and feeling in regard to the institution of Slavery, from the Fourth of July, 1861, when I referred to it only remotely, to the twenty-second of February, 1864, when I urged its com plete and final extirpation from the whole land; and may also note the advance from the position of April, 1862, in favor of its gradual removal from Missouri, to that of September, 1863, de claring for Emancipation, immediate, unconditional, final, in that State. These progressions were but the results of an educa tion by current events, whose power I could no more resist, than a tree can resist leafing, when the Spring sap flows into its thirsty pores. They indicate such change only as that of the child into the man; and I pity him who, from passion, prejudice, selfishness, ambition, party associations, devotion to Slavery, or aught else, voluntarily remains a child as to our country's mortal contest for its life, when, by casting off their shackles, he might straightway rise to the stature of manhood in patriotism.
