JAMES WILLIS GLEED 197 Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath, nor was it in my view that I might take an oath to get power and break the oath in using the power." Thus in every emergency we find him slow and reluctant in the assumption and exercise of unusual or extraordinary powers and swift and eager in laying them down. To him, the law, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, are sacred and holy. He was very anxious about the electi...on in 1864. Doubtless he had some wish for personal approval and vindication, but we cannot see this personal motive in him very strong. We know he was weary; we know he was heavy-laden; we see him as pic- tured by Carpenter, gazing out toward the Virginia horizon and repeating to himself: "How sleep the brave who sunk to rest By all their country's wishes blest," and he goes on: "How willingly would I change places with the humblest private who sleeps to-night on the banks of the Poto- mac!" This was his deep mood; the end was drawing nigh for him ; he had passed through the fiery furnace ; the desire for earth- ly reward could not have been pulling very hard at his heart- strings then; but he believed that the fate of the blacks, the fate of the nation, the fate of humanity, hung upon that election; and he was extremely anxious for Republican victory.
