heart and head. yet he was never blessed
by the chaste and lofty qualities which
were the heritage of Washington and Lee.
His essential tact and humanity We're
never more acutely displayed than when
he replied to the committee who had
asked for the removal of Grant because
of his drinking habits that he would Ike
to know the brand of whisky which lie
used that he might send some o. il 20 his
other generals This trait in Lincon's
character reminds us of what George
II said when told that Wolfe. who
was about to attack Quebec, was mad
He replied. Then if Wolfe is made hope
he will bite some of my other generals.
In passing upon the character of Mr..
Lincoln, even from the most charitable
standpoint it is difficult for a southerner to
overlook or forgive the emancipation proc
lamation of September. 1852. The his
torians who eUloSiZe linn Justify him on
the grounds that it was a war measure.
Nevertheless. il really was a practical
! invitation TO the slaves of the south to
rise up and slaughter the women and
children of the soldiers who were on the
battle line, with the assurance that they
would be protected by the national gov
ernment. II was well known by the Fed
eral administration that the Confederate
armies would vanish from the field If such
an attack was made on their homes.
The highest yindication that the peo-
pie of the south have ever had. and the
most splendid tribute to the slave system,
was the tact tnat the slaves OF the Soutif
were so devoted to their masters and
owners and their families that they re-
fused from the Potomac TO the Rio
Grande. To respond to such an oppor-
tunity, prcfcrring loyally TO protect the
homes and fresides of their absent
masters.
III was a terrific and awful eXpedient;
but in Judging of this action we must re-
member that Lincoln felt consecrated to
the cause of the Union. In his despera
tion he seemed To be willing to resort to
any eXpedient which would accomplish
his purpose doubtless hoping that he
might be able to control and mitigate
what seemed to be the natural result of
this bold and unconstitutional proclama-
