He did not issue call for soldiers until
the rebels were marching on Washington

Democrats go about the country yelling
themselves hoarse with the lie that this
is Lincoln's war. The miserable traitors
know better. The rebels in the South
don pretend that this is Lincolns war.
1t is their war. They glory in it. and
they despise their tory tools in the north.
