Reininiscences that my children may !know the part I took in the War l;etween the States, liunible I though it was. i I am not one of tliose who ha UaT)oloG:izc hv savim, We I fought for what we beheved to l)e right. I think we f(jught !for what was right self-government. My view of the conflict was not so much to protect the right I of property in the slaves as it was to maintain the great prin Iciple that the Creator was greater than the creature the States jmade the Government, and not the Government made the States. It is now more than thirty years since the conflict ended, and I have never had a regret for any part I took-in the strife. J. R. S. Baltimore, A pril 2, 1897.
