Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gen´l Fitz John Porter´s Reply to Hon. Z. Chandler´s Speech: In the U. S. Senate, Feb; 21, 1870 Sir - You introduced a resolution in the Senate of the United States, on the twenty-first February, "Requesting the President to communicate to the Senate, if not inconsistent with the public interests, any recent correspondence in his possession in relation to the case of Fitz John Porter." On the occasion of offering the resolution you delivered a speech which has gone into the public debates and been published, and which will ever remain on the record as the expression of the opinion of a Senator of the United States, not only on the impropriety and injustice of according to me a re-hearing - but on the justice of my sentence, even in the light of the new facts which I propose to bring before any tribunal the President may appoint to re-hear the case. Though you withdrew your resolution immediately after making your speech, the latter remains unanswered except by the generous words of the Hon. Henry Wilson, the chairman of the senate committee of military affairs during the whole war and since, who declared that he adhered to his formerly expressed opinion, that my case was, under the new evidence brought to light, a proper one to be re-heard. Indeed the withdrawal of your resolution was more prejudicial to me than the original offering of it; for if not withdrawn, the correspondence called for would have shown in a great measure the truth, and my title to a re-hearing. It is a noble and a senatorial office, "to vindicate the truth of history," and you assured the Senate and the country that that was the object of your speech. May I not ask, that you will read this, my letter to you, which is intended to show that you fell into grave errors in your endeavor to do justice to history.
