Notes: "It will be remembered by the public that after the court-martial had made up their judgment and transmitted it to the President of the United States, Judge-Advocate-General Holt furnished to the President, without the knowledge of General Porter's Counsel, an argument in favor of condeming Porter. The able reply of Senator Johnson comes too late to save Porter from the cruel sentence inflicted on him but not too late to save him in the hearts of his countrymen, who owe him all that a nation ever owed to a brave and faithful defender of her cause. It is a duty, in the perfomance of which all true Americans will unite, to give this document the widest possible circulation.--New-York publishers." Published Baltimore (1863) under title: A reply to the Review of Judge Advocate General Holt. Two columns to the page.
