Lincoln, unofhcially or privately.
If Mr.. Benjamin's report of the say
iugs Of Mr.. Gilmore and Col. Jaques,
while they were in Richmond, is correct,
they assumed a responsibility not given to
them, and made statements wholly untrue
Indeed, while on the subject it is proper
to state that the President, after repeated
solicitations, consented to give Gilmore
and Jaqucs pass through our lines. He
did not request Gen. Grant to open
correspondence with Gen. Lee, to give
them safe conduct to Richmond and re-
turn, as Gen. Grant did that on his own
responsibility. President Lincoln's re-
quest was simply that Gen. Grant would
pass them through his military lines and
nothing more.
Speaker Collar, in receu: speech in
Indiana, gave the following as the reason
why Vallandigham was not arrested when
he returned from enlistment:
"When Mr.. Vallandigham returned, it
was very natural that the first place he
went to should b, Democratic Conven-
ton. He thought Mr.. Lincoln would ar
rest him. Mr.. Lincoln knew the fact
that at that time there was secret or
ganization in the Northwest, the details
of which he may not have been familiar
with; but he kn.w the intention was to
make Vallaudigtams arrest pretext for
lighting tho torch Of civil war all over
the Northwest. Lnxious to preserve the
peace at your own homes, Mr.. Lincoln
passed over the reurp of Vallsndigham."

which it was vey properly decided to
bleed the monster to death, which was
accordingly done. What disposition was
