Morton The author of these pages wishes to assure the reader that no selfish motive prompts him to present to the public, the life of Indiana's most distinguished Governor. It is common for men to applaud those who have benefited them, and to flatter those of whom they expect favor. But it is no personal advantage, either realized, or antici pated, which induces us to narrate the life and public services of the subject of this biography. Our situation is such that we neither need, nor desire any appointment the Governor could confer upon us; and never, during our life have we been the recipient of a single personal kindness at his hands.
