Pretty severe.

--A member of the New York Legislature, speaking of the war, thus alluded to Lincoln:

‘ "He was for the re-nomination of Abraham Lincoln and no one else. Lincoln was a special instance of Providence. He was the Moses raised up by God to free from bondage the slaves of the South. The South would yet come back to him and acknowledge his authority. If they would not do so, lot them die, be annihilated, and let their places be filled by better men"
