The Tiffin Weekly Tribune

The speech of Senator Sherman in the Senate of the United States, on the 26th inst., was, in our opinion, well-timed and conciliatory: he is pouring oil on the troubled waters trying to heal the breach between the President and Congress. This is right. We do not approve of the veto message, but we will not fight the President for he is a patriot, and we tolerate difference of opinion. We deeply deplore the error of the President in making that unfortunate speech on the 22d of February last. We think the President himself regrets it, and we know all loyal men regret it. We cannot defend it, but it can be palliated. And if the President was wrong then, we say, "to err is human." Let us all strive to forget and forgive, and heal up the wound. That is the only way to get along. We think the President intends to do right, therefore; let us stand by him until the reverse is proven. Nothing can be gained by quarreling. The great party of the Union must not be divided. The breach between the Executive and Congress must be healed: this can be done by forbearance and conciliation. The Executive and Congress both have the same end in view, but they differ as to the best means to be used to accomplish their ends.
