John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 6: return to New York journalism (search)
Chapter 6: return to New York journalism Continued confidence in socialistic experiments praises Kossuth MacREADYeady riots antislavery agitation General Taylor elected president Greeley, Dana, and the tribune Opposes carpenters' strike favors free speech and free press protective tariff land reform Pacific Railroad Dana arrived at New York in March, 1849, by the steamship United States, which was twenty-eight days on the passage, and this gave rise to the fear that she the agitation went on with ever-increasing intensity, because the more it was discussed, the more evident it became that the disease was incurable by peaceful methods, and that the divergent views held in regard to it were irreconcilable. General Taylor, the Whig candidate, had been elected president, but this was also a compromise measure that was destined to end in disappointment. The Tribune took part in every discussion, and worked as though the solution of every question depended upon

o writer was too great, no subject too important to escape its rapid and unerring stroke. During this entire decade, James S. Pike, of Maine, afterwards minister to the Netherlands, was one of the principal correspondents and contributors to the Tribune. He wrote much and well, but, like the rest, he came under the correcting influence of Dana's criticism. This is well illustrated by a letter from Dana having reference to Pike's Campaign life of General Scott, and to the assignment of Bayard Taylor as secretary to Commodore Perry in the Japanese expedition. Having taken liberties with Pike's proofs, he wrote: If you don't like this swear all you wish, but you can't help it. The thing is put through, and what you may say is a matter of perfect indifference. And then, as though to soothe the wounded feelings of his friend, he added in the next paragraph: I have discovered that I am necessary to you. Without me who would take the devil out of your letters, and add a g

od a one to show whether you had a conscience or not, or any regard for your word. ... . . I'm charmed with that picture of Mrs. P. paddling a bark canoe, which you draw in such idyllic colors. I suspect the poetic is your true vein after all, next to theology. But what I really hope you are doing is the discipline of that stubborn obstinacy and wilfulness of yours into something like Christian meekness and domestic submission. Remember it's your duty, and do it with some grace. Bayard Taylor is going to Japan as United States Commissioner — if he gets the appointment. Perry puts him up to trying for it, and tells him there is no doubt of his having it, as the Administration do not desire to make a political business of it, and he is the best man for the place who could possibly be found. Don't mention the scheme, as Bayard wouldn't like it known if he is disappointed. Good-bye, old fellow, and send me word a week before you write another article, so that I can prepare

ow the omitted poets growl over it!. .. [Fordyce] Barker is getting up in his practice, and must be a rich man very soon. When I see him trooping about with his two roan horses, I get vexed at you because you aren't a doctor, too. That was apparently what nature laid you out for, but you've been and stopped her. The next year, after wondering how he ever found time to write at all, he wrote a long letter about the Cyclopaedia, the book of poetry, and also about their common friends, Bayard Taylor, George William Curtis, Count Gurowski, Pike, and Parke Godwin, winding up with thanks for the little moral lecture Huntington, his correspondent, had given him on the Cyclopaedia, which he suggested was not needed, because he probably knew its faults and the difficulties attending its composition and publication better than any one else. With the first shot directed against the flag at Fort Sumter, Dana came out for war to the death. The Tribune also buckled on its armor and warned

where, but whatever they might be he naturally expressed a desire to go home first for a short time. A few days later he reported in detail that General Grant had relieved General McClernand from the command of the Thirteenth army corps and sent him to Illinois to await further orders from the government, gave a full account of the new arrangements made necessary by the change, and set forth a multitude of circumstances connected with the progress of the siege, the operations of Johnston, Taylor, and Kirby Smith, and the conditions prevailing in the country occupied by their forces. In all this correspondence not a despondent thought was expressed, not an uncertain note was sounded. While Dana was the trusted representative of the War Department, he was sparing of his comments and suggestions, and yet when necessary he did not hesitate to criticise the highest officers, whether they were regulars or volunteers. His position required the greatest discretion in speech and consummat
