|  The War has been waged with success, although there have been in some instances errors and misfortunes. But the heart of the nation is sounder and its hopes brighter. | | It is vain to expect a well-balanced government without a well-balanced society. | | This crowd did not diminish through the whole of that cold, wet day; they seemed not to know what was to by their fate since their great benefactor was dead, and though strong and brave men wept when I met them. | | The hopeless grief of those poor colored people affected me more than almost anything else. |
