Fered to shift much of it upon their own shoulders; also who would not
give an hour's thought to a scheme which promised to lift it away
entirely, and to leave it for some other who by and by should come after
him. It is worth while to remember that Mr. Lincoln was the most advised
man, often the worst advised man, in the annals of mankind. The torrent
must have been terribly confusing! Another instance deserves mention:
shortly before Mr. Seward's strange proposal, Governor Hicks, distracted
at the tumult in Maryland, had suggested that the quarrel between North
and South should be referred to Lord Lyons as arbitrator! It was
difficult to know whether to be amused or resentful before a proposition
at once so silly and so ignominious. Yet it came from an important
official, and it was only one instance among thousands. With war as an
actuality, such vagaries as those of Hicks and Seward came sharply to an
end.
