Whether Booth was the agent of a band of conspirators, or was one of a few vile men who sought an odious immorality, it is impossible to say. We have the authority of a high Government official for the statement that the President’s murder was organized in Canada and approved at Richmond . . . there is nothing improbable in the supposition that the assassination plot was formed in Canada, as some of the vilest miscreants of the Secession side have been allowed to live in that country. We know that there were other plots formed in that country against us — plots that were to a certain extent carried into execution, and which led to loss of life . . . but it is not probable that British subjects had anything to do with any conspiracy of this kind. The Canadian error was in allowing the scum of Secession to abuse the “right of hospitality through the pursuit of hostile action against us from the territory of a neutral.”31
