the name of Abraham Lincoln was near and dear to our hearts in the darkest and most perilous hours of the Republic, despite the mist and haze that surrounded him. Despite the tumult, the hurry and confusion of the hour, we came to the conclusion that the hour and the man of our redemption had somehow met in the person of Abraham Lincoln. Few great public men have ever been the victims of fiercer denunciation. Then Abraham Lincoln was during his administration. He was often wounded in the house of his friends. Reproaches came thick and fast upon him from within and from without and from opposite quarters, he was assailed by abolitionists. He was assailed by slaveholders. He was assailed by the men who were for peace at any price. He was assailed by those who were for a more vigorous prosecution of the war. He was assailed for not making the war and abolition war, and he was bitterly assailed for making the war and abolition war.
