He received me most kindly and courteously, and alluded to our former service in Congress, in pleasant terms. He spoke liberally and in the most conciliatory terms of the South, and the Southern people. His manner indicated sincerity and if we meet him in a spirit such as he exhibited, we will have reason to regard him as our best friend. Now that the war is ended, we should exhibit no sullen and dissatisfied spirit, but should encourage harmony and conciliation. We have to live under the same government, and it is the part of wisdom and duty, to seek to restore confidence, and cultivate kindly relations.
