On Reading President Lincolns Letter

Hanford Lennox Gordon

To Horace Greeley, of date Aug. 22, 1862-”If I could save the Union
without freeing any slave, I would do it,” etc.

Perish the power that, bowed to dust,
Still wields a tyrant's rod-
That dares not even then be just,
And leave the rest with God.
