troubled heart in 1861. and II he had

the ablest President OF the United
States in few hours went out on the
long journey.
The South had. indeed. lost a friend
with his going. None OF its leaders
in that great strife were in any way

In the last ditch, and he saw the suf-

the state Legislature. he declared
FOR equal suffrage for all white

Perhaps his last serious com
ment on statecraft was made on
board the boat on his way TO
Richmond TO receive the plaudits
OF the black men he had freed,
