He wrote to Sumner, Jan. 23, 1861, deploring Seward's speech, He had by letter (Jan. 11, 1861) endeavored to dissuade Seward from making a compromise speech. Schuckers's Life of S. P. Chase, p. 202. and ending, My faith is fixed; no compromise now, and no proposition of adjustment until the executive department of the government is ours. And three days later he wrote again:— The surrender will not save the Union; firmness, decision, moderation, will,—if anything will.

P. Chase, pp. 473-475; Welles's Lincoln and Seward, pp. 81-85; and Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. VI. pp. 263-272. The last account referred to needs confirmation as to some details, particularly in the statement which includes Grimes, Sumner, and Trumbull as attacking the Cabinet generally.

Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincojustice, in a letter to Mr. Lincoln, April 12. Mr. Chase had at the meeting objected to the restriction of suffrage to the class qualified before the rebellion. Schuckers's Life of Chase, pp. 516, 517. The old basis of suffrage, excluding colored persons, was maintained. Under orders from General Banks, issued in January and Febrat this meeting than before to those who were in favor of equal suffrage, and admitted that he had perhaps been too fast in his desire for early reconstruction.
