SENATE CHAMBER, June ), 1862.
Ny DEAR SIR:-Your criticism Of tho
I President IS bae,r. l am confident that
If you knew HIM as do you would not
make it.
Of course the President cannot be held
responsible for the misfeasancc of subord-
mates, unless adopted or tolerated by
Llm. And am sure that nothing uu
Just or ungcncrou, will be tolerated much
less adopted hy him.
| am happy to let you know that he has
no sympathy with Stanley in his absurd
wltkcdncss, i'll closing the schools, nor
again in bis other act of turnn. our
camps into Il hunting ground for slaves.
He rcpudatcs both-posi,ivcIy, The
latter point has occupied much Of hit
thought, and the newspapers have not
gone too far in recording his repeated
declarations, which have often heard
from his own lips, that slaves Guding
their way into the national lines are new

pxyy,Ssal Va, 1C,,t
Hvu,d you lave seen the irc2idcnt--
as It was my privilege ottcn-whilc he
was considering the great questions
on which he has already acted, the invi-
tation to emancipation in the States,
emanci patton in the District of Columbia
and the wlcd.mcut of the inde.
pcnlencc of IIayti and Liberia, even yoar
zeal would have been satisfied, fer you
wcull have felt the sincerity of his pur-
pose TO do what he could to carry forward
the rrincip Piles Of the Declaration of In
dependence.
His soul was occupied especially By
i the first proposition, which was peculiar.
ly his own. In familiar intercourse With
him, remember nothing more touching
than the carncstncss and completcncsy
with which he embraced this idea 10
his mind it was ust and benelicient,
while it promised the sure end of slavery
Of course, to me, who had already pro
posed a Bridge Of Gold for the retrea,ing
Eend, it was mn~t we)rone Proceeding;
from the President it must take its place
among the great events af history.
If you are disposed to be impatient at
any seeming sAor,coming, think, ! pray
you, Of what has been done in brief pc
rlod, and from the past discern the sure
promise Of the future. Knowing some
thing Of my convictions and Of the ardor
with which | maintain them, you may,
rerha7s, derive some assurance from nv
confidence. ! say to you, therefore, stand

have faith in it,
| wish that you really knew the prcs,-
dent, and had heard .hc ar'css expression
of his convictions on those questions
which concern you 50 deeply. You
might, perhaps, wish that he were less
cautious, but YOU would be gaeteful that
he is so true to all you have at heart
Believe ne, therefore, you are wrong,
and | regret it the moro because Of my
desire to see all our friends stand firm to.

If | write strongly, it is because | feel

but gives mc personal as well as pc.
litical interest i'll seeing that justice is

Believe me, my dear sir,
With much regard,
Ever faithfully yours,
