1645 - L June 1; ed: 1/1 - In the convention of the Missouri "Radicals"
a gentleman suggested adding the words "with God's assistance," to an
amendment to the resolution that the Rebellion must be down. One-
half of the convention were infidels and atheists, who voted the phrase
down with boisterous demonstrations. "Nothing is truer than that God's
providence is manifest in this war." (3)

statesmanship can now bring this war to a close on terms solemnly
avowed at the outset of the contest." -

produces none but his naked assertion and he can adduce none other.

1648 - L May 27; ed: 2/1 - Governor Seymour distinguished himself by
issuing a document of a rather silly character. The New York WORLD and
JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, his pet organs, have been in military duress for
36 hours.
"The government revoked the order suppressing the WORLD, just as -
soon as it became possible to understand how far the WORLD and JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE were not implicated in the publication of the forged
proclamation." (6)
