37 The abolitionists never forgave Stanley
Matthews, who was prosecuting attorney in the 1858
William M. Connelly case. Matthews had
been a Free Soiler and was unhappy about his official
role in the Connelly prosecution.
Nevertheless, the incident was used against him when he ran
for congress in 1876 and in 1881 when he
was appointed to the supreme court. Selden Gale

1862. This letter is in a collection of manuscripts
owned by the Garfield family which is at
present on loan to Professors Harry Brown and Frederick
DeForest Williams of Michigan State
University. Unless otherwise noted, all references to Garfield
papers that follow are to this
collection. I wish to thank the Garfield family and Professors Brown
and Williams for allowing me access to
this material.

8 Garfield to his wife, January 26,
1862. The Kentucky troops under his command did not share
in the general enthusiasm for Garfield.
Resentful of his apparent preference for Ohio soldiers, the
Kentuckians had quite different notions
of his doings, as can be seen by a toast popular at their
gatherings: "Gen. Garfield and
Major Pardee-May their souls be in Hell together." Unsigned
note dated April 16, 1862. Garfield
Papers, Library of Congress.
