"I shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation or by any of the acts of Congress."

"It is believed that so far as American ports and American citizens are concerned that inhuman and odious traffic has been brought to an end."

"shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment;"

"It is especially gratifying that our prize courts, by the impartiality of their adjudications, have commanded the respect and confidence of maritime powers."
