[1] ALS, RPB. Blair replied at 7:30 P.M., ``We have elected 5 Republicans one Emancipationist Democrat 2 Unconditional Union & 2 proslavery Dem's to Congress. The Legislature is emancipation in both Branches on your plan & Secures two Senators to Support the administration My Election is certain. I think the army vote yet to come in will not change the result.'' (DLC-RTL).
