Excerpt from New York and the Conscription of 1863: A Chapter in the History of the Civil War Pleasant affairs in which the Governor's part was very important if not satisfactory, are thus again brought into notice. Lincoln and Stanton and Whiting and Dix and Canby and many others concerned are dead, but the records remain. Lest the allegations of bad judgment, neglect, crime, unfairness, grievous wrong, throwing prudence, propriety, and common sense to the winds, etc., leveled by high authority against officers of the general government, pass unchallenged into history, it is proposed to make a review of the general subject in the light of official documents and well established facts, and leave the reader to draw conclusions and make comments.
