Johnson's peculiar position on this question of sla- very renders him the very man under whose administra- tion the institution of slavery should die out and disap- pear. As already said, his present views are known not to be the result of prejudice or sectional ill will, but from the conviction that the further existence of slavery was mvpossibU. How much better that a man of known mod- eration of character and opinions should be intrusted with the settlement of all the delicate and complicate...d questions growing out of the changed relations of the two races ! Mr. Johnson stands as a connecting link between the North and the South. He knows the African character ; he knows the difficulties the future is likely to present ; he knows how and to what extent slavery, as an institution, ds responsible for the war just terminated. In reference to this last point — the responsibility of slavery and slave- owners in bringing on the war — ^there are facts and consid- erations connected with it not generally understoodjt^and, where understood, not always duly weighed and con- sidered.
