John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 6: return to New York journalism (search)
gitation and discussion were the daily occupation of editors, politicians, and statesmen. Missouri Compromises, Wilmot Provisos, the Omnibus Resolutions, Squatter Sovereignty, the Nebraska Bill, the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, the prohibition of slavery in the territories, the dissolution of the Union, the preservation of the Union, were subjects of absorbing interest more or less constantly under discussion. The great public men of the period were Clay, Webster, and Calhoun; while Benton, Dayton, Davis, Douglas, Crittenden, Sumner, Foote, Seward, and Mangum were lesser lights; but each was striving in his own way to compose the differences between the sections by compromises and arrangements, which it was hoped would not only save the Union, but would also save slavery where it legally existed, and put an end forever to the discussion of the slavery question. Each did his part according to his lights, but still the agitation went on with ever-increasing inte
John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 8: declaration of principles (search)
far as known, this is the earliest suggestion on the subject which reached the public. It was not till several years later that it was carried into practical effect by Pullman and others. Near the close of this year the Tribune made a declaration which Dana repeated many years afterwards more than once in the columns of the Sun. That it was original with him cannot be positively stated, but it savors strongly of his sententious style: We are Free-Traders, but not of the school of Calhoun, Jeff Davis, Franklin Pierce, and the National Era. We are Free-Traders just as we believe in the millennium. About the same time a New York publication, in the interest of the book trade, came out with a general charge of corruption against the Press, which was at once resented by the Tribune as utterly unfounded and without justification. It has been repeated with many variations frequently since, against one or another of the leading New York dailies, but whatever else may be said,

meeting every question as it arose, bravely and squarely, without any visible shadow of selfish or personal bias. The death of Senator Benton, in April, 1858, was followed by an appreciative editorial in the Tribune analyzing his character, pointing out both its weak and its strong points, praising his courage, his integrity, his morality, his fidelity, and his great personal force, but giving him small credit for real statesmanship or mental ability when compared with Clay, Webster, and Calhoun. During the entire period of Buchanan's administration the Tribune cultivated close relations with Seward, Collamer, Chase, Fessenden, Hale, Sunnier, Henry Wilson, and all the other rising men of the Republican party. A warm and devoted friendship grew up between them, with Dana as well as with Greeley. The paper was their chief support, as well as their chief means of reaching their constituents through a friendly interpretation. Under Dana's special guidance it had also come to be
John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 23: period of reconstruction (search)
rom the start just and sympathetic towards the South, he warned the Southerners to give no credence to the thought of revolution in the North, and to dismiss the idea that the Northerners were a race of fanatics, Jacobins, agrarians, mercenaries, and cowards. He pointed out that the war had to a certain extent exorcised this fantasy, but expressed the prophetic fear that the exorcism would not be complete nor the delusion wholly disappear till a new generation should arise who know not John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. Meanwhile the ignorant and credulous should understand that whatever shall happen in regard to the impeachment of the President, no party or creed in the North has the remotest idea of resorting to a revolution even on the reduced scale of a riot, in order to redress any real or imaginary grievances. He added: If there had ever been a latent purpose, in one mind in a million, to apply this remedy under any imaginable circumstances, the terrible failure of th
