""Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged,"

It can't be proven or disproven that Lincoln ever spoke or wrote these words. But I have no doubt he thought them. His actions during the Civil War against treasonous members of Congress make that clear, although there's no record that he ever actually hung anybody, he did arrest and exile at least one.
