"My friends you want a speech, but I cannot make one at this time. I must have opportunity to think. Undue importance might be given to what I said. However, there isone thing I will do.

But now by virtue of my prerogative asPresident and Commander-In-Chief of the Army and Navy, I declare it contraband of war and our lawful prize. Iask the band to play Dixie."
