The condition of the country and the previous legislation of Congress made the case exceptional, and, in my judgment, justified the course adopted. I have, therefore, no apology or regret to offer in the case. The Northern opponents of the measure have, among other denunciatory epithets, applied to it those of "bribery" and "coercion."
You are, when all is done, not even detestable, not even a worthy peg whereon to hang denunciatory sonnets, you shallow-pated pretty creatures whom poets oh, and in youth all men are poets! whom poets, now and always, are doomed to hanker after to the detriment of their poesy.
