"Mr.
President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions
of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms
us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in
a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed
to be of the numbers of those who, having eyes, see not,
and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern
their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish
of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth,
to know the worst, and to provide for it."
