Excerpt from Flashlights of Abraham Lincoln
Spired as he shouted, WE won't GO out OF the union and you shan't! And then, as though to pour oil upon the troubled waters, he suggested ballots instead of bullets.

Excerpt from Flashlights of Abraham Lincoln
One day in the year 1855, there stood at the entrance to the Burnett House in Cincinnati, that old hostelry which was lately burned (1920), a long, lean, gaunt, sad-eyed man of about forty-five.
His clothes were ill fitting and he wore heavy boots.
He was in that city as one of the counsel for the defendants in a case of patent infringements upon reaping machines.
As this rather inelegant looking man, with all his native picturesqueness stood there, other counsel also employed in the defense came near; they looked the Hoosier over, passed him by without speaking, as unworthy of notice, and walked into the hotel. It would never do to have a man like that associated with them on this important case.
What man was this, who, unresentful of his treatment, stayed through the trial of this case, and silently watched its progress? It was said afterward that the judge was as much influenced by his unspoken, but expressive sympathy and the play of his features, while he paced back and forth during the progress of the case, as by the argument of the other counsel, who ignored him.
And who was this man?
