"Surrounded by all sorts of conflicting claims, by traitors, by half-hearted, timid men, by Border States men, and Free States men, by radical Abolitionists, and Conservatives, he has listened to all, weighed the words of all, waited, observed, yielded now here and now there, but in the main kept one inflexible, honest purpose, and drawn the national ship through."

Wonderful guess, Eva, but Joe Di Cola got it right. Kudos, Joe. The quote comes from Harriet Beecher Stowe in an article from a periodical titled Littell's Living Age, February 1864.
