Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln's Cabinet Mr. Usher's remarks in regard to Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet were first made in a speech delivered at a banquet given by Mr. D. M. Edgerton in honor Of Judge D. D. Hoag, in Wyan dotte, Kansas, on June 20, 1887. The address was impromptu and at the urgent request Of those who heard him Mr. Usher, upon the following day, reduced his remarks to writing; and again I was the amanuensis used for the purpose. They were put in pamphlet form and a very limited number distributed among those who were present upon that occasion. In view of the interesting character and the importance of many Of the facts testified to by Mr. Usher in these state ments, it has seemed worth while to put them in a permanent form and to give them a wider distribution than has hereto fore been done; and while doing so to make known some Of the salient facts as to the life and activities Of Mr. Usher himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet: Edward Bates Artist unknown, President Lincoln And His Cabinet In Council At The White House Members Demonstrating To The President The Importance Of The Evacuation Of Ft. Sumter. New York, March 30, 1861. Wood engraving from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. This woodcut is the first portrait of the Lincoln Cabinet. From the inability to distinguish-the faces of Cabinet members, it is apparent that the artist used poetic license in depicting them. Attorney General Bates could either be the person shown fifth from the left or seated at the President's right. While Bates would not hold Ft. Sumter if it meant war, he did not favor evacuation but relief of the fort on the oceanside to avoid conflict. Yet the Attorney General always provided two crucial functions for the President: he was an important political adviser, and he could legitimize the actions of the President. There was also the duty of writing opinions. This opinion-writing function is now usually handled by a relatively subordinate member of the top team of the Department of Justice, and while on occasion it has tremendous significance when controversial decisions are prematurely leaked, those occasions are infrequent. Bates retained the opinion - writing functions. Though often of little significance, all presidents see it as occasionally important. The marginal importance of opinion-writing then is seen in the fact that when Bates did n_ot do the work, nobody did it; and the country did not have to call off the War as a result. There was a period when Bates did little or nothing for several months and the opinion work simply piled up; a response to Secretary Welles on March 4, 1864, for example, defensively apologizes that the opin ion had been pending for three and a half months and a few days later Bates made a similar apology to the President for a two month delay.25 The delays did not seem to matter very much.

The writer has no wish to conceal the fact that he is what is called an "extreme Radical;" but he has sought to omit himself from this subject, and to sketch the persons here represented, not with reference to any approval or disapproval of his own, but as they may justly be believed to have meant while laboring honestly to the best of their ability for the preservation of the Union.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet: Salmon Chase; Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources Among the transient guests who interested me were Schuyler Colfax, john Sherman, Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher, and, particularly, james A. Garfield, then a member of the house, who frequently came to dine or dropped in some time in the course of the evening. After the return from the wedding journey, Mrs. Sprague te sumed her place in the secretary's drawing-room, and eu tertained all comers with a simple grace of manner which even the gay capital has rarely excelled. In one of our morning walks, the secretary took me to an old building standing on a partly vacant lot in G Street. It was of one story, as I remember, with a roof lping away from a higher building against which it abutted. It was gloomy and deserted, with shattered windows, and weeds growing about the door.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from President Lincoln's Successor Congress to a greater extent than is known 1n any other legislative body. The President of the United States cannot appoint the members of his Cabinet, nor any Federal officer whatever, without the con sent and endorsement of the Senate he is but the executor of the national will as declared by the national representatives the servant, in fine, of the servants of the people. It is therefore of the first importance that' the Chief Magistrate to be chosen in this crisis should be one who has given ample guarantees that he will carry out the will of the majority; not a mere representative or tool of a clique of political schemers, nor an ambitious man, ready, at a favourable opportunity, to thwart or control the national decision. The President pos sesses to a limited extent the power of initiative he can recommend to Congress the introduction of measures, and veto any legislative act which, in his judgment, may be detrimental to the interests of the Republic. It is this recommendatory power, shap ing and directing as it were the national will, which invests the election of mr. Lincoln's successor with such overwhelming importance; for recon struction of the Union means naught else than the new-birth of the Republic - the re-enacting of the fundamental law, upon and within which the whole assemblage of States is henceforward to be governed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation This meeting took place on Tuesday, July 2 2, 1 862, a regular Cabinet day. All members were present, although Blair came in late. Carpenter continues Lincoln's words: I said to the Cabinet that I had resolved upon this step, and had not called them together to ask their advice, but to lay the subject-matter of a proclamation before them; suggestions as to which would be in order, after they had heard it read. Various suggestions were offered. Nothing, however, was offered that I had not already fully anticipated and settled in my own mind, until Secretary Seward spoke. He said in substance: Mr. President, I approve of the proclamation, but I question the expediency of its issue at this juncture. It may be viewed as the last measure of an exhausted government, a cry for help; the government stretching forth its hands to Ethiopia, instead of Ethiopia stretch ing forth her hands to the government.

Book Synopsis Lincoln's Administration (Classic Reprint) by : Gideon Welles
Download or read book Lincoln's Administration (Classic Reprint) written by Gideon Welles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln's Administration As he did in his earlier essays, Welles again emphasized his main thesis: the greatness of Abraham Lincoln. As the author put it, the Civil War President was in many respects a remark able man, never while living fully understood or appreciated. Determined to correct any remaining misconceptions about the Great Emancipator, the former Secretary of the Navy succeeded admirably i-n delineating his chief's political sagacity. How Lincoln rose to power, how he managed to maintain a middle course against opponents both within and outside of his party, and how he laid the foundations for a mild policy of restoration these are the high points of the essays. Since he sympathized with the President during the struggle over reconstruction, Welles sought to prove that Andrew Johnson was merely trying to carry out his predecessor's plans. To the author, it was clear that Johnson's antagonists had opposed Lincoln long before the end of the war. Consequently, Welles tended to stress the difficulties between Lincoln and the radicals, men whom he considered as dangerous as the Democratic opposition. Although his strictures upon the extremists were probably influenced by his difficulties with them during reconstruction, his views were widely accepted by historians in later years.
