Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of the Hon.: Lazarus W. PowellSo far as we are able to discover, his patriotism was never the subject of suspicion in any quarter, except at the beginning of the late civil war, when he boldly took his stand against the rightful assumption of power, on the part of the Federal Government, to make war upon the seceded Commonwealths of the South, for the purpose of coercing them back into the Union. Not even then were his motives impugned by any large number of those who were clamorous for the war. The result of the attempt which was made in 1862 to expel him from his seat in the United States Senate is clearly indicative of the high estimation in which he was held by many among the leading members of the Republican party. That at tempt failed by a vote of twenty-eight to eleven, a majority of his political opponents voting against expulsion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
