colonel, rendered me such assistance as
he could. If he had only strictly obey
ed my orders should have succeeded
in my vast enterprise Tt was my inten-
ton to drive General Grant into the
Pacific. I told Colonel WatterSOn to
surround the eastern armies and wait
until I came. But he was insubordinate
and the union was saved.
Colonel Watterson's address was in
part as follows:
Lincoln was at no time an extremist.
He had been for thirty years in uncOn-
scious preparation for the presidency.
At the time of his debate with Douglas,
the Democratic party, as now, seemed
helplessly divided.
I want to say just here a few words
about the relation of Abraham Lincoln
to the south. He was the only one who
could have come to the position without
animosity towards the south.
For my part I thank God that the
war did not end at Fortress Monroe, o.
by any other civil proceeding, but was
fought on out to the bitter end at APP
pomattox SO that slavery might be ami
hilated.
