Excerpt from Indices of Public Opinion 1860-1870

The theory of our Government is, that each man is a part of it, or rather, that each citizen is supposed or expected to take part in its affairs. This not only confers privileges but imposes duties. I have borrowed time from the pressure of business, occasionally, through the Newspapers and Magazines of the day, by participation in public meetings and otherwise, to contribute my mite towards the promotion of what appeared to me to be such a state of public opinion as would conduce to the greatest good of all our people. Perhaps I may be charged with egotism in reproducing these views; but, regarding them as, to a certain extent, indices of public feeling, and of ideas prevalent during the Ordeal of the Union, I repeat them in this more permanent form. I submit them as the views of One of the People on the topics discussed; and, if they have been, or may yet be, of any use, I shall be satisfied.
