Rodgers, a man of great influence in the City, spoke to Mr. Lincoln and the resolutions as were adopted by the meeting were read by Mr. Redgrave, also a merchant and an influential man, the resolutions were very good, they were not very long but to the point and very impressive[?], I was somewhat astonished to see such an earnest desire on the part of those who differed so widely in politics, to have Mr. C the collector, He is endorsed by merchants who do business, Through the Custom House to the amount of five millions of dollars a year, Mr. Lincoln said in reply to the Chairman, that he received several communications and delegations from Balto. [Baltimore], but none such as were present. He said it was the most formal and imposing of any he had received, they all returned home highly gratified, and from the interview he had from Mr. Blair I have not doubt that Mr. C �will get the Hall, I came home with the Delegation in the evening. I saw a good many old Republicans and they say the Republicans will be taken care of in Maryland. Mr. Jarrett has given me a letter, stating my character & qualifications, &c., it is one of the most strong and impressive letters I have seen for a long time. [?] Jarrett, had a talk with me today in regard to this matter, without any solicitation on my part, He said that anything he could do for me, he would at any time do so, and if I should fail in getting the place I want, I should always have a situation with him. He said he would be sorry to part with me, but at the same time, if I could make so much more by going, for me to do so (If I fail I still hold my preset place in his store) I thanked him kindly for the interest he felt in my behalf, and should I fail in the situation I want I know he will give me more than he now does, yet I may be thankful that I am getting what I do these hard times. I still recmmend[?] Mr. C. of your application, also Hon. Blair and he tells me to wait until the proper time and he will act in time. I have no fear that you will come in for something, & I do not like to humble him on the office question, because I do not know when he will get it, but when he does I will let him hear from me in good earnest, I saw him today and he is in high spirits. He says that he has no doubt but what he will get the appointment, yet it remains to be seen. �He asked me yesterday if I knew Mr. Isaac Twinning[?] of Hartford, I told him that I did not know much of him, I knew there was such a man in Hartford. He said he Mr. Twinning[?] had called on him for an Inspectorship, I told him I did not know anything about his [?], qualifications, but did not think him suitable for a position of that kind. He said he felt like givin him some advice, but not knowing him he did not, He has no good feelings for [?] I think the appointments will be made in a few days, and you will hear from me on Saturday in if nothing happens, My wife is not very well, all the rest folks are Hoping this may find you well I remain yours, E.G.

The superficial reasoner and the hypercritic[?] will regard the just views upon the Character of Lincoln as fulsome admiration of the dead, but the Student of history, and of the agency of man in Creating it and he who watches the phases of human progress, who Scans the Changes in the [?] thought which finds expression in the laws enacted for the Advancement of national interests, and for the benefit of Communal meal, find in the Study of the Characters of the men who impress their individuality, on their era an interesting occupation. Such was Lincoln. It is through the impress of mind on the natural things of life that beneficial effects ensue, when the intelligences are rightly divided. It is through the calm, dispassionate Criticism, the Exposition, so to speak, of the Philosophy in the actions of the individual that Greek judgments are formed of his influence on his times and of the benefits that are to occure [occur] in the future of the nation’s life. Abraham Lincoln lived --- the type of a life devoted to the cause of human freedom, and he died, a martyr to no insane folly revenging personal disappointments, but a martyr upon the altar of human equity, before the law and made in his death a Sacrifice to the principles of human freedom. Mr. Lincoln stands --- the central figure in American history in the 19th Century, and his martyrdom is the [?] of this era. Washington, in his relation to American history and the cause of freedom is the Central figure of history in the 18th Century. �But Washington represented the forces of human progress which marred against the material interests of the dominant race in Colonial politics, in which the question of human freedom so now [?] has no place. The inherit rights which man to man, regardless of color, have to personal liberty, has no place in the causes leading up to American Independence. In the above sense, Independence was a mis-nomer, and its application was limited to questions of purely material moments of a Socio-Political Character. We intend no disparagement of Washington --- do not detract from the benefices of humanity flowing from his trials, sufferings, courage, magnanimity, fulfillment and [?]. Under Providence he prepared the way for which Lincoln was to consummate. In the parable the grain of mustard seed was to develope [develop] into the wide spreading tree wherein the birds of the air were to find refuge. The parallel is found in the humble, low born if you please, Child of the prisoner’s home on the prairie, where under the tutelage of the flowers of the field, of the blue skies of heaven, of the solemn music of the fresh, of the flights of the birds, he inhaled the oxygen of freedom, and the instincts of humanity were slowly refined into that broad and comprehensive patriotism which ranged[?] him on the side of the oppressed, newer[?] him to the defense of the right, gave him the Courage of Convictions, the ability to maintain them, and prepared him for that ultimate election of national dignity where he became the exponent and the protector of the rights of man �to full personal liberty before, under and to the law. It was the seeds of liberty in the feelings of the individual that opened the living exponents of the principles therein involved. [?] to humble elation and Circumstance in life, informed with educational advantages of any moment, Conscious of innate principles of right, it is well to note that under the most adverse Conditions of life he developed these principles of Simple integrity, [?] and maintained with high character for unquestioned honesty, which culminated in his elevation to the highest dignities the public could bestow. Deceit, evasion, subterfuge, equivocation or any other place of difficulty was foreign to his nature. He Seemed the living exemplar of extreme truth. He was a man, with human foibles, human weaknesses, and Conscious of the Affects of early education he made no pretensions to be other than the man of Simple integrity. Most men lead two lives. One before the world which judges them by what they see, not going below the action to judge of the inducing motives, and the other, or inner life, wherein they rest in the Knowledge of their new motives. But Mr. Lincoln was a Character so pure and free from all ulterior intent that it may be said that he had no inner life. Candor, honesty, integrity were transparent qualities in him & Seemed as if the [?] impress of the truths which he drew from the fountains of nature in his youth so informed his Love that his nature was guideless of ill intent, and in the seclusion of home, as in the most exalted official elation, his native [?] stoid[?] forth, �His personal integrity was so evident, Chicanery of whatever kind so foreign to him that a guise was needless and impossible. The Republic, in him, recognized and honored personal integrity. We do not know that he ever read Dean, who wrote, “The worst of crimes believe it generous youth Is to buy life by selling sacred truth, Virtues’ the gem of life, the sage’s stone, And life is death when honor is no more.” But[?] we know that the sentiment Controlled his life, and though there may have been uncouthness in person and of manner, none who sought him whatever the mission, ever failed to be impressed by the dignity of the truth and Sincerity he expressed. Magnanimity was a strong feature of his character. No one man in American history has been [?] by political enemies, and no man has given nobler evidence of the truth. These aspersions reached to his private as well as official life, and the shallow minds of many pain to see the moral of an [?] anecdote was more potent often than the reasonings of a lengthened argument. This trail was nobly exemplified in the Christian sentiment, “With Malice towards none and with Charity for all,” a sentiment more broad in its application than any recorded as being spoken by mortal man. It Contained the essence of the sermon on the mount, and it was an essential expression of the humanity within his Soul, for it was directed to those who sought the downfall of the Republic. Rare words, spoken in the horn[?] of the nation’s surest trials, when �The ground was yet incarnadined with patriot blood shed for national defence, when the wail of the widow and the cry of the orphan rose to heaven a protest against ‘man’s inhumanity to man,’ when the moans of the wounded and the dying were almost ringing in his ears, there came from him who stood the Central figure and the humanities[?] in American history the golden words, “With Malice towards none and with Charity for all.” We need not review the progress of Mr. Lincoln as he endeared himself to the nation as it strode on in the defence of human rights, nor to review the crowning acts of his life expressed in the Proclamation of Emancipation. That act, its antecedent causes and all relating to it an historical[?]. &[?] received the economies of a [?] world and placed the nation on a pinnacle of honor unknown to history. He who desires to study a [?] character, in which the elements of truth, of personal integrity, of inflexible honesty in thought, speech and action, of large hearted benevolence, of the Christian sympathy and magnanimity are harmoniously blended, can do no better than to Sit down and ponder the tributes of his memory and his worth as a man, which are so [?] given by the representative world of thought in America, and presented to the public, through the affectionate [?] of the friend and admirer, O.H. Old[?], in the Lincoln Memorial Album. From such study one will rise filled with a desire to emulate the virtues which gave dignity to a true manhood. �the Simplicity of his character is admirably expressed in the tribute of Mr. Frederick Douglass, that “he was one who could take counsel from a child and give counsel to a sage.” The old man, scarred with the [?] of life’s conflicts, and the young man, bucking on his honor for the strife of life, may each learn from these tributes what constitutes true greatness in human character. The young man will learn the value and integrity as essentials to success in life. The aged can retrospect their lives and be stronger through the practice of these virtues, and one may all been witness to the truth which Abraham Lincoln is a Standard of personal and morality, truth, honor and integrity; this profound Christian magmamity, to his broad statesmanship, and gratitude will swell with such a man was the Chosen instrument of Providence to [?] a Republic into a Nation the cornerstone of whose [?] is Reckon from any form of human bondage, and they will unite in pledging a sacred truth. By all we have, By all we are, by all we hope to be To hold this heritage free --- this birthright bought with blood. Norman D.
