Carl Schurz and others, Speeches, correspondence and political papers of Carl Schurz… (1913)
“ But before you go, make one more effort to arrest the policy of the President. Every step that he takes is a new encouragement to (1) the rebels at the South, (2) the Democrats at the North and (3) the discontented spirits everywhere. It is a defiance to God and Truth. Of course, we shall fight this battle, and, I know, we shall prevail. It cannot be that this great and glorious Republic is to sink to such an imbecile and shameful policy. ”
