More from William Seward
From and after the fourth day of July, 1842, there shall be, throughout the United States, NO HEREDITARY SLAVERY, but on and after that day every child born within the United States shall be FREE.
Slavery therefore must be restrained, and, without violence or injustice, must be abolished.
How long emancipation may be delayed, is among the things concealed from our knowledge, but not so the certain result.
But power, confessedly derived from the people, must be exercised in obedience to their will, and must be resigned to them again, at least in death.
