Excerpt from The Rebuke of Secession Doctrines
It is impossible that this controversy can have but one result; it is [seefourlhpaye of cover.impossible that it can be protracted any great length of time, if we are a united people; and to be a united people we must discard political considerations. Why, have not we as much patriotism as the Southern people, and did you ever hear of a contested election there during this rebellion? Who ran against jefferson davis? What one vote was cast against him when he was elected President some year ago, notwithstanding the party divisions are just as acrimonious there, and more so than they are at the N orth - and cannot we be equally devoted 9 My friends, we must be; it is indispensable; and to do that we must treat each other with forbearance. If a man is loyal, whether he is an officer of the army, with whose success you have not been satisfied or a statesman with whom you have difi'ered politically, if you believe his heart is right, you must not only refuse to assail him yourself, but discountenance forever, assaults upon him by anybody else.
