Title A name given to the resource David Davis Collection Subject The topic of the resource Davis, David, 1815-1886 Judges Supreme Court justices United States. Congress. Senate Lawyers Illinois--Bloomington Davis, George P. (George Perrin), 1842-1917 Illinois. General Assembly. House of Representatives Illinois. Circuit Court (3rd Circuit) Davis, Sarah Woodruff Walker, 1814-1879 Davis, Sarah W., 1852-1934 Description An account of the resource David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883. Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.                 The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.

Yates Sir I need not tell you that these are the times that try mens souls. you at least ought to know it. but I have set down to write about stubborn facts. that our country and our prospects are gloomy all know and acknowledge. the great question is how to get out of our present difficulties. I sugest the following plan let the govrnor of each state cause evry able bodied man, without regard to age, to be enrolled in some military company and to drill once twice or three times each week Send the recruits now on hand to the diferent stations that have to be guarded, and let the men now on guard be sent to reinforce the army in the field, as soon as the new recruits are sufficiently drilled to be of service send them to reinforce the army in the field and call out a large force of the enrolled malitia to supply their places and as soon as they are fit for service send them into the field and call out another force until every able bodied man is in the field or the rebellion is bloted out of existence. by this process the government will be able to sweep the rebelion into the gulf in the next four months---but it will be said the government cannot arm so great a force. that may be true. but nearly evry man in this part of the country owns a good gun, and although they may not come up to the government standard for war purposes, they may be made very usefull, especialy so in gurrilla warfare which the rebels seem to be addopting - try it <hr /> again it may be said the government cannot clothe so great an army. true, but can we not fight just as well in our homespun as in the finest military cloth trimed with all the tinsell of fancy war men. by addopting this plan many able bodied men, over forty five who have some experience in the battlefields of Mexico and florida will be brought into service and be made of the utmost usefulness to the army. take myself---I am fifty years of age and my powers of endurance are not the least impaired. the law forbids me to enlist, yet I have seen service and am satisfied that I could doe as good and better service than thousands of the young men now entering the army. I have been temperate in my habits of life and a man of temperate habits is just in the prime of life at fifty. I should like to enter the service of my country and think I could doe some good, as I have had experience. these views are presented to in hopes that if they meet your aprobation you will urge them upon the consideration of the President with whom you have an influence sufficient to warrant a carefull consideration of the matter. there is one thing certain, that unless an overwhelming force is put into the field soon, we must exhaust the resources of the northern States in a protracted war, or acknowledge the independence of the confederacy. then call out evry able bodied man at once and squelch the acursed thing from the face of gods earth.

Cairo, Ill, June 10th, 1861 To His Excellency Richard Yates Gov. of Ill. Dear Sir, I address you in Confidence--believing that we are both working for the same end. that is, for the maintainance of our ever Glorious union, and constitution, for universal Liberty to all mankind, yes all: What is the price. Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty and the right of self-Government. this is what I have lived for, and fought for, and will still fight for as long as I live, and I hope to teach the same to my Children, and promulgate the same principle to my fellow man on every occasion that offers. I am a stranger to you but sometimes a stranger may prove more deserving of confidence than an acquaintance. I mean all I say and more to in one sense of the word if you repose a trust in me I will not disappoint you. I may be egotistical I may be selfish. if I could explain to you what I feel I should be glad. I will do my best I wish promotion tis true, but what soldier or man does not. but I wish it as a means to an end to be accomplished. I will not deny that I have a pride as a soldier for my grandfathers fought for our Independence under General Washington. my first lessons as a soldier were under G. W. Morgan.
