We Must Continue To Judge

The Only Ground On Which A Neutral State Can Claim Respect At The Hands Of Belligerents Is, That, So Far As She Is Concerned, Their Rights Are Protected.

But As Well May You, When Urging A Man Up-hill With A Heavy Load Upon His Back, And With Your Lash Also Upon His Back, Tell Him, That Be Has Nothing To Do Either With The Load Or The Lash.

Our Concern, However, Is With Slavery As It Is, And Not With Any Theory Of It.

True Liberty Acknowledges And Defends The Equal Rights Of All Men, And All Nations.

True, Permanent Peace Can Never Be Restored, Until Slavery, The Occasion Of The War, Has Ceased.
