One Paramount Object:

CECRETARY STANTON came to
the White House one afternoon
to protest against pardon which
President Lincoln had issued for a
soldier sentenced to be shot for deser-
ton. Stanton said:
"That mother-in-law who came to
you this morning was only shedding
crocodile tears. She doesn't care for
that son-in-law. I'm told that she
merely came as matter of duty, be-
cause she had opposed the marriage
of her daughter to that man, and to
refuse to plead for his life would have
been almost objectionable. But she
didn't care for the pardon, and didn't
expect it,"
"All Of that was very clear to me,
Stanton" was the reply of the Won
derful Lincoln.
II only looked at her once, and then
patiently listened to her. had made
up my mind to issue the pardon be-
fore that mother-in-law began to talk
and weep. 1 did not look at her

Even so strong and patriotic a man
as Horace Greeley published an open
letter to Lincoln, in 1868, calling the
president an Opportunist and denOunc-
ing his policies. In his reply Mr.. Lin
coin plainly stated that he did not
want to be known in history as "The
Emancipator," but that his chief pur-
pose was ito save the Union" Here
are his sincere words:
"My paramount object is to save
the Union, and not either to save or
destroy slavery. If l could save the
Union without freeing any slave, 1
would do it. If / could save it by
freeing all the slaves, l would do it.
