But found we could'nt, and staid all night

599. Wendell Phillips to WHH 1
[undated]
Dear Sir I said Lincoln voluntarily added to the domain of the Slave Act of '50 territo‚ry which had inadvertently been omitted Ü (I believe that Terr'y was the D.C.)
Ü & on that account I called him ¿the Slave Hound of Illinoisî Ü [Gay?] tried to wriddle their candidate out of the ¿sin Ü
I never charged A.L. with insincerity hypocracy or that sort of thing Ü Said that, heedlessly for party ends Ü to conciliate &c.&c. he volunteered to extend that odious fraud
Y
W. Phillips
I think now exactly as I did then Ü A.L. had merits but he had spots & large ones on his disk.
