Excerpt from A Contribution to History: Edwin M. Stanton; His Character and Public Services on the Eve of Rebellion, as Presented in a Series of Papers Sir: I was not present in court yesterday to hear your remarks on Mr. Stanton, but to-day I was shown a newspaper report of them, which I presume to be perfectly accurate. The following paragraphs struck me with much surprise: - "But it is not of the lawyer, eminent as he was in the science and practice of the law, that men chiefly think as they remember him. His service to mankind was on a higher and wider field. He was appointed Attorney-General by Mr. Buchanan in the 20th of December, 1860, in one of the darkest hours of the country' history, when the Union seemed crumbling to pieces without an arm raised for its support, when 'without' the public councils 'was doubting, and within were fears;' when feebleness and treachery were uniting to yield whatever defiant rebellion might demand, and good men everywhere were ready to despair of the Republic. For ten weeks of that winter of national agony and shame, with patriotism that never wavered, and courage that never quailed, this true American, happily not wholly alone, stood manfully at his post 'between the living and the dead,' gave what nerve he could to timid and trembling imbecility, and met the secret plotters of their country's ruin with an undaunted front, until before that resolute presence the demons of treason and civil discord appeared in their own shape, as at the touch of Ithuriel's spear, and fled baffled and howling away." This statement was carefully and deliberately written down before you delivered it. You spoke for the American bar as its organ and official head, and you addressed the highest judicial tribunal in the world, knowing that your words were to go upon its record and remain there forever. I take it for granted that under these circumstances no earthly temptation could make you deflect a hair's breadth from the facts as you understood and believed them. The inevitable conclusion is that you must have in your possession, or within your reach, some evidence which convinces you that what you said is the truth, and nothing but the truth. I am sure you will excuse me for asking you to say what that evidence is. The passage I have transcribed from your address sounds like the authoritative summary of an historian as he closes the most interesting chapter of his book. You can hardly consider the curiosity impertinent that prompts an American citizen to inquire what your judgment is founded upon. Besides, I have some friends whose reputation is deeply involved in the affairs you pronounce upon with so much confidence.
