Are these two sentences correct?
When we repeat of our president, that he's a gentleman, I find it revolting!
Therefore, when we repeat of this gentleman, that he was only a good man, whatever else by severe censors may be objected to him, it is still to be hoped that his goodness will not at least be considered criminal in him.
And why?

And why?

The second sentence is from Melville.
I am not even sure what he means by repeat, though I believe he means repeat as in say something again.
