" * Thank you, Mr. President; but that is not all; I have another list here.' " ' I hope you are not going to make me let loose another lot?' " * Yes. I am not quite so sure of the merits of this list, but I believe the men are not dangerous, and it will be good policy to let them go. I think it safer and better to err on the side of mercy.' " ' Yes,' said Mr. Lincoln ; ' but you know I am charged with making too many mistakes on the side of mercy.' " ' Mr. President, my argument for this is th...e same as in the other case. The war is substantially over. The guilt of these men is at least doubtful And mercy is and must be after all the policy of peace.' " ' I guess you are right,' said Mr. Lincoln. " * Yes,' I said, ' I am sure I am, and I think that you ought to sign it.' " * Well, I'll be durned if I don't,' said the President, and he signed his name after inserting the word * pardoned ' over the name of those laboring under conviction. " This was the only time that I ever heard Mr. Lincoln use a word which approached profanity.
