flled both for purchase and for sale
‘and the advertiseme of runaways

bumble. a friend of mine hero in
.Norwalk tpld me that his grand-
-1s.ther owned slaves and his great
‘lmcle for years followed the business
of transporting slaves by ship from
the North to the South. He said
that as foreign labor became cheap
and plentiful his grandfather gradu-
‘ally disposed of his negroes. At last
he had only one old negro "Torn"
left and then announced that he was
going to sell Tom; too. When asked
”why. he said he had a little red
headed man named Pat. lately
landed on our shores who could do
it two days all the work 'l‘om did in
.‘gh week. He didn't have to feed Pat
or pay him only when he worked
nd he had to feed Torn all the time.
So he had decided. true Yankee that
he was. to get back the $1.800 that
1its lied tied up in Tom and be re-
‘1 llsved of his maintenance.
80 you see that all that time the
uestion of slavery was nothing
lmore than an economic question.
fBut when this Norwalk man had
..sold his Tom to some of our folks
down there and got h is money safe.

‘Yankees like him. suddenly discov-

and that it was a sin and a shame

perty. Now 1 might say that this
was never the position of Abraham
Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln contend-
ed always that the government or
the Congress under the Constitution
had no power to deprive the owners

which through some overslzht hid
been left out of the general law.
and he earned by' that action the
denunciation of Wendell Phillips. the
extreme abolitionist of the East who
called him “that. slave hound of Il-
linois." But in spite of his conser-
vatism on the question of slavery.
Lincoln. somehow. seems to have
been regarded. both North and
South, as holding very advanced
views on that question.
Now, getting back to the stage
which as I have suggested is be-
ing set for the appearance of Abra-
ham Lincoln and four years in the
Presidency—four years of war—I
think I can do no bei.ter_ in repre-
senting the views of millions of those
who opposed him in his candidacy
(not all of tides who opposed him
but enough so far as the South is
concerned. to have made the decision
one way or the other) than to give
you the views of my own father on
that subject. That is something I
can do faithfully and authoritatively.
One of the Old South;
3in father. if you will permit me to
say so. was a. Godly man. a man of
rare patience. deliberate judgment. a
lover of his fellowmerl. regardless of
race or color. I merely mention him
as a type of Southern men of the
kind I know, the men who paid the
mxcs and dld the fighting and node
the decision at the ballot box. He
owned no slaves n0r did his father
bcforo him” He had no more liking
for slavery at! in institution or a the.
ory than you have. But slavery was
a fact of a. hundred years duration
and would have to be dealt with pa-
tiently and economically. In this
situation the presidential campaign
of 1800 came on. The new Ilepub-
lican party nominated Abraham Lin-
coin. The Democrats were split.
The Northern Democrats nominated
Stephen A. Douglas. the Southern
Democrats nominated James C.
Breckenridge and a third candidate
John Beil. was, in the field who car-
ried the ordinarily Democratic States
of Virginia. Kentucky and Tennessee.
There were in all about 5000.000
votcs cast. Of those Lincoln got only
1300.000; Douglas about 1.400.000:
ereckcnrldge nearly 1.000.000 and
Dell about 600.000. 80 it will be
seen that while Lincoln armors
votes than any other one ndldate.
the combined vote of the opposition
outnumbered his by a very large ma.
jority. Thus he entered the Frost-
.dl-ucy under the handicap of being
'a minority President. of not being
the choice of a maiority of the peo-
ple and not even a majority of the
‘pc ple of tho‘-Northsrn States. In
missing. it is interesting to note that
{so years later. history repeated it-
'self in the case of Woodrow Wilson,
{in his first term, so that in the two
‘great wars of our history our leaders
were destined to be chosen by a min-
ority.
The Campaign of 1800.
Now in the campaign of 1860 my
father ‘votcd for Breckenridge. It
was a. vote for PEACE and not a
vote for slavery. ‘lt was a. vote
against arbitrary and precipitate
action upon an age old problem
which he believed could be worked
out in an orderly peaceful manner
without. war or bloodshed. No doubt
the candidates and their principles
were misrepresented as in political
campaigns as they are today, but
there is no doubt that. my father
and others like him believed. that
the accession of Lincoln meant ar-
bitrary action, aggression and in-
vasion. and for creating that belief
the radical abolitionist: of the
North rather of the East were most
to blame. And thus it was that the
Southern States, regarding Lincoln
as a. candidate chosen only by a. sec-
tion and not even by a majority of
that. section. a candidate in whose
choice they had had no part. setup
a central government of. their own
in their own territory. Singular as It
y seem. in doing so‘they rexer-
cl (1 a right which had been speci-
fically conceded by Lincoln himself.
at. an earlier date. in g. speech in
Coagress when he said:
"Any people. anywhere being in-
clined and having the power. have
the, right to raise up and shake off
the existing government. and form
a. new One that suits them better.
This is a most valuable, it most all.-
cred right—a right which we hope
and believe'is to liberate the world.
Nor is this right confined to a case
in which, the whole people of an ex-
istiug government choose to exer-
cise it. Any portion of such people.
that can. any revolutionize. and
make their own of so much of the
territory as they inhabit."
This is what Lincoln thought in
1846 when he was talking about
Texas withdrawingfrom Mexico but
I suppose we can all be glad now it
is not what he thought in 1861
when Texas had withdrawn. from
the Union. '
Whether if the election had been
otherwise. if the majority party had
not been divided and four year
period of deliberation had thus been
allowed for the hot passions of the
times to subside. the frightful war
which cost the lives of I. million
young men. North and South. (men
who coliid ill be spared in our new
country) and which cost billions of
dollars of treasure. would have been
gym-ted, is g matter for speculation.
However that may be there were
many of our people who thought
then that the conflict cohid so have
been avoided and slavery long since
gradually extinguished without the
frightful cost. At any rate. I am cer-
tain that I never heard my father
express any regret for the vote he
cut orrthe’ part he took. subse-
quently. Thu only regret he seemed

whenever Lincoln thought. it neces-

famous and presumptuous letter sent
to the president one month alter the
inauguration by Secretary Seward in
which he rather brazenly suggested
that the president had “no policy
t‘llller foreign or domestic." suggest-
cd that the president turn over the
duties of his allies to someone able
to perform them. and hinted that if
the I'rcsldcnt was looking for such
a man he would not have to look
more than a thousand miles to find
him. Among the recommendations
made by this man who supposed
himself to be so much more on.

the suggestions that Congress be
convened to declare war on Spain
and France. and that Great Britain
and Russia should be openly an-
tagonized. this when the administra-
tion had a civil war on hand which
was to require fill its strength for
four years to come. Needless to soy.

man."
0n the eve of his inauguration
r we have this description of the new
a. young men of 21, soon afterward
to be a soldier in the Confederate
Army:
"1 met the newly elected Presi-
president by Henry “'atterson. their“
incident is related by an eye 'it-
noss, General James B. Frey. o-
vost Marshall General. in the fol-
lowing language:
"The president had given an order
which the secretary of war refused
to issue. The president thereupon
came into the War department and
this is what happened. In answer to
Mr. Lincoln‘s inquiry as to the cause
of the trouble. Mr. Stanton went
over the record and the ground for
his action. and cancluded with:
‘Now. Mr. President. there are facts.
and you must see that your order
cannot be executed.’
"Lincoln sat upon a sofa with his
legs crossed and did not say a word
.until the -Secretary's last remark.
Then he said in a somewhat positive
tone: ‘.Mr. Stanton. I reckon you'll
have to execute the order.’ Stanton
replied with ssperity—‘Mr. President
I cannot do' it. . The order is an im-
proper one and I cannot execute it.‘
"Lincoln fixed his eye upon Stan-
ton'. and in a firm voice. and with
an accent that clearly showed his
determinatlon. he said:—-'Mr. Secre-
tary. lt_wiil have to be done!"
"Stanton then realized that he was
overmatched. He had made a square
issue. with the President and been
defected. Upon an intimation from
him withdrew and did not witncm
his surrender. A few minutes after
I reached my omce I received in-
dent the afternoon of the day in tho‘
early morning of which he had ar-
rived in Washington. It was a Sat-
urday. I think. He. came to the
iCapitol under Mr. Sewnrd's escort
and among the rest. I was presented

carry out the president's order.
