In the perrlcxing question Of Reconstruction
We see no reason 10 ainctd the policy which VIZ
have asserted since the close of the war. II

} Of promlscuOus coufscaton and hanging We
had too much blood in war to ask for blood in
peace even to crafty angry vengeance. Ii
seemed important that the South SHOULD concelc
