Excerpt from A Reply to the Review of Judge Advocate General Holt, of the Proceedings, Findings and Sentence, of the General Court Martial in the Case of Major General Fitz John Porter, and a Vindication of That Officer The President, then, could not but have paused before approving such a sentence, and asked himself how it was possible that Porter, the idol of his men, the boast of the army, the pride of his chief, and the recipient of honors which, from a sense of public justice and gratitude, he had con ferred upon him for distinguished and valuable services rendered his country in a most perilous crisis, should all at once have been so recreant to his past patriotism, so forgetful of his then well-earned and universally acknowledged fame, as to have committed acts almost before the ink was dry upon the parchments containing his commissions, and whilst the public heart was so gladdened by his deeds of skill and daring, as to demand, in the judgment of a Court composed of brother Officers, that he be cashiered, and forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the Government of the United States.
