republican liberty, not only in the seceded States, but in the
loyal States, and the establishment of a military despotism;
during the war. I do not remember hearing Mr. Franklin say
anything on the abstract question of secession.
Cross-examination:
Question. You state that during the war you have had
repeated conversations with Mr. Franklin; and that lie has

ever heard him rejoice at a triumph of the Federal arms?
A. No, sir
Q. During all that time have you ever heard him express
a regret at the defeat of the Federal arms?
A. No, sir.
Q During all that time have you ever heard him express
a desire for the success of' the Federal arms over the Confed-
erate arms ?
A. No, sir.
Q. During the war have you ever heard him utter one ex-
pression of encouragement to the Government in that strug-
gle for its existence ?
