The President prayerfully considered the matter, and within a week after the battle of Antietam he issued Sept. 22 a preliminary proclamation of emancipation, in which he declared it to be his purpose, at the next meeting of Congress, to again recommend pecuniary aid in the work of emancipation and colonization to the inhabitants in States not in rebellion. ed war upon the Government more vigorously and malignantly than ever, the question was upon every lip, Will the President be firm?
