Sir, since the war many of those PEG.
plc from the highest to the humblest
have told me with deep emotion, and
calling God to witness, that more than
any one thing the declaration Of Mr.
Greeley satisfied shem that they could
have separate existence under form
Of government to suit, themselves
Yet when the southern people did
what this man told them they had the
inalienablc right to do, no wild beast
hungry for blood ever screamed for his
prey as he shouted "On to Richmond Z
as he claInmOred to kill every one Of
them for doing what he had told them
they had the right to do.
That Is solem page Of history that
can never be reversed. The waters Of
