found William Cullen Bryant again....

I read a lot of books about Abraham Lincoln, whom I find absolutely fascinating. and you will usually find a mention of WCB.....
The Fiery Trial Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery p. 136 William Cullen Bryant, editor of the New York Evening Post introduced Lincoln Feb. 27 1860 at a lecture....
p.147 WCB opposed "a plan ....manufactured on Wall Street...." a special train brought 30 leading NY merchants to the nation's capital bearing a petition for compromise signed by 40,000 NY businessmen.....
