What i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the Union; And what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save Union.I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; And i intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all man everywhere could be free."
