[March 22, 1860]
dear Sir:
Please accept my thanks for the check, which came to hand
yesterday, and also for the Globe. I will try to have your Speech
published in our Republican papers.
It is the only one that hit the mark. Hale hit Fessenden,
but overshot the question; all the rest are Republican and Democratic talk. In
the meantime public opinion is slowly taking the right direction, one of the
Judges of the S. J. C. declaring openly that the Senate is wrong, and another
that the court would like to hear an argument on it, especially before any
decision has been had elsewhere. They will be sure to have the opportunity.
Truly your friend,
George L. Stearns.
