Davis and Wendell Phillips, while the most bitter and contemptuous and persistent of all Lincoln's critics were Chase, his Secretary of the Treasury and Chief Justice, and Stanton, known ever since as his great War Secretary. The testimony submitted above seems to show that Lincoln was habitually indecent in his conversation—that he was guilty of grossly indecent, and yet more grossly immoral, conduct in connection with his satire called the First Chronicle of Reuben; that he was an infidel, and was, till he became candidate for the presidency, a frequent scoffer at religion, and in the habit of using his good gifts to attack its truths, and that he was author of a paper, the purpose of which was to attack the fundamental truths of religion, and that he never denied or retracted those views.

and was selected by Lincoln himself (see McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 46), as the one protector to accompany and guard him from the assassination that he apprehended so causelessly (Lamon's Life, &c., page 513), in his midnight passage through Baltimore to his first inauguration. He was made a United States Marshal of the district, in order (McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 67) that Lincoln might have him always at hand.

twenty-three ministers of the different denominations of Christians, and a very large majority of the prominent members of the churches in his home (Springfield, Ill.), opposed him for President. He says (page 241): * * * Men who knew him throughout all his professional and political life have said that, so far from being a religious man, or a Christian, the less said about that the better. He says of Lincoln's first recorded religious utterance, used in closing his farewell address to Springfield, that it was regarded by many as an evidence both of his weakness and of his hypocrisy, * * and was tossed about as a joke, Old Abe's last. Colonel Ward H. Lamon published his Life of Lincoln in 1872. He appears, in the accounts of Mr. Lincoln's life in the West, as constantly associated in the most friendly relations with him. He accompanied the family in the journey towards Washington, and was selected by Lincoln himself (see McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 46), as the one protector t

Again he says (page 251): * * men who knew him throughout all his professional and political life * * have said that he was the foulest in his jests and stories of any man in the country. As to Lincoln's attitude towards religion, Dr. Holland says (page 286), that twenty out of the twenty-three ministers of the different denominations of Christians, and a very large majority of the prominent members of the churches in his home (Springfield, Ill.), opposed him for President. He says (page 241): * * * Men who knew him throughout all his professional and political life have said that, so far from being a religious man, or a Christian, the less said about that the better.

He quotes, with approval, and reaffirms Lamon's views as to the duty to tell the faults alon. Another letter of Herndon's, published in Lamon's Life (page 492, et seq.), says of Lincoln's ruth of the revelations of Messrs. Herndon and Lamon as given above, and the duty and necessity thven revelations and disclosures of Herndon and Lamon, but, on the contrary, says (preface, page 3):residency, were David Davis, Leonard Swet, Ward H.

es (Volume I, page 55) a copy of The First Chronicle of Reuben, and an account of the slight provocation under which Lincoln wrote it; and, in two foot-notes, describes the exceedingly base and indecent device by which Lincoln brought about the events which gave occasion for this satire. Morse (Volume I, page 13) denounces Herndon bitterly for publishing this chronicle, but suggests no doubt of its authenticity. Morse's Lincoln, one of the American Statesmen Series, published in 1892 by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., shows throughout, but notably in its last three pages, as ardent admiration for Lincoln as any other biographer; yet he concedes (Volume I, page 192) the truth of the revelations of Messrs. Herndon and Lamon as given above, and the duty and necessity that rested on them to record these truths. In Lincoln and Men of the War Time, by A. K. McClure, the author's intimate association with Lincoln (page 112, et seq.), is shown in many places, and his estimate of his hero may

Brief mention of each of them will first be made, and it will be seen that it is quite impossible to suppose that they would acknowledge such faults in their hero as they do acknowledge from any motive but the necessity to concede truths known personally to themselves as his intimate associates, or established on testimony they were obliged to accept. The life of Lincoln (dated 1866), by Dr. J. G. Holland, long editor of Scribner's Magazine, rates Lincoln among the greatest of men, not only intellectually, but morally and spiritually. The object of this letter does not require, nor do its limits permit, that it should record these biographers' attempts to reconcile their estimate of their hero with the conflicting concessions that are extracted below from their books.

No ground whatever for supposing that he was a religious man. Lincoln's connection with the first chronicle of Reuben, &c. To the Editor of the Dispatch. A late editorial in one of our most honored—and most deservedly honored—Southern newspapers has likened Lincoln to Washington and to Lee, and has held up Lincoln's character and personality for the admiration and imitation of this future generation. To try to re-awaken or to foster ill — will between the North and South would be a useless, a mischievous, and a most censurable task, but it is a duty for one who knows the truth to correct so serious a mistake as is contained in the above statement, and the subscriber offers the following convincing correction of it to the many thousands of readers of the Dispatch for whom the subject has interest.
