Lincoln .

Martial law to govern until otherand proper government be provided. Freedom for the colored race, with guaranteesof citizenship and proper elective franchise. Loyalty and fidelity to the National Governmentand the Constitution, including the EmancipationProclamation and the amendment prohibiting slav-ery. Pardon and amnesty to follow sincere peni-tence, as shown by satisfactory evidence. In hisown words: When a man is sincerely penitentfor his misdeeds and gives satisfactory evidence ofit he can safely be pardoned. It was not in the heart of Lincoln to retaliate, toconfiscate or to make desolate unless the exigenciesof the case required it. The spirit here manifest ismirrored in the second Inaugural. 70. E. Underhill. Dr. J. G. Vaughan.
