Lincoln and Emancipation1
AMONG the paintings hitherto assigned
to places within the Capitol are two
which mark events forever memorable
in the history of mankind, — thrice memorable
in the history of America. The first is the
painting by Vanderlyn, which represents,
though with inadequate force, the great discov-
ery which gave to the civilized world a new
hemisphere. The second, by Trumbull, repre-
sents that great Declaration which banished
forever from our shores the crown and sceptre
of imperial power, and proposed to found a
new nation upon the broad and enduring basis
of liberty.
To-day we place upon our walls this votive
tablet, which commemorates the third great act
in the history of America, — the fulfilment of the
promises of the Declaration.
Concerning the causes which led to that act,
1 Speech delivered before the joint session of the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United States presenting to
Congress, on behalf of Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, Mr. F. B.
Carpenter's painting, "The Signing of the Proclamation of
Emancipation," on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth,
February 12, 1878.
vi Lincoln and Emancipation
the motives which inspired it, the necessities
which compelled it, and the consequences which
followed and are yet to follow it, there have
been, there are, and still will be great and honest
differences of opinion. Perhaps we are yet too
near the great events of which this act formed
so conspicuous a part, to understand its deep
significance and to foresee its far-off conse-
quences. The lesson of history is rarely learned
by the actors themselves, especially when they
read it by the fierce and dusky light of war, or
amid the deeper shadows of those sorrows which
war brings to both. But the unanimous voice
of this House in favor of accepting the gift, and
the impressive scene we here witness, bear elo-
quent testimony to the transcendent importance
of the event portrayed on yonder canvas.
Let us pause to consider the actors in that
scene. In force of character, in thoroughness
and breadth of culture, in experience of public
affairs, and in national reputation, the Cabinet
that sat around that council-board has had no
superior, perhaps no equal in our history. Se-
ward, the finished scholar, the consummate
orator, the great leader of the Senate, had come
to crown his career with those achievements
which placed him in the first rank of modern
diplomatists. Chase, with a culture and a
fame of massive grandeur, stood as the rock and
Lincoln and Emancipation vii
pillar of the public credit, the noble embodi-
ment of the public faith. Stanton was there, a
very Titan of strength, the great organizer of
victory. Eminent lawyers, men of business,
leaders of States and leaders of men, completed
the group.
But the man who presided over that council,
who inspired and guided its deliberations, was a
character so unique that he stood alone, without
a model in history or a parallel among men.
Born on this day sixty-nine years ago to an
inheritance of extremest poverty; surrounded by
the rude forces of the wilderness; wholly un-
aided by parents; only one year in any school;
never, for a day, master of his own time until he
reached his majority; making his way to the
profession of the law by the hardest and roughest
road; — yet by force of unconquerable will and
persistent, patient work, he attained a foremost
place in his profession,
And, moving up from high to higher,
Became on fortune's crowning slope
The pillar of a people's hope,
The centre of a world's desire.
At first it was the prevailing belief that he would
be only the nominal head of his administration,
— that its policy would be directed by the
eminent statesmen he had called to his council.
viii Lincoln and Emancipation
How erroneous this opinion was may be seen
from a single incident.
Among the earliest, most difficult, and most
delicate duties of his administration was the
adjustment of our relations with Great Britain.
Serious complications, even hostilities, were
apprehended. On the 21st of May, 1861, the
Secretary of State presented to the President his
draught of a letter of instructions to Minister
Adams, in which the position of the United
States and the attitude of Great Britain were set
forth with the clearness and force which long
experience and great ability had placed at the
command of the Secretary. Upon almost every
page of that original draught are erasures, addi-
tions, and marginal notes in the handwriting of
Abraham Lincoln, which exhibit a sagacity, a
breadth of wisdom, and a comprehension of the
whole subject, impossible to be found except
in a man of the very first order. And these
modifications of a great state paper were made
by a man who but three months before had
entered for the first time the wide theatre of
executive action.
Gifted with an insight and a foresight which
the ancients would have called divination, he
saw, in the midst of darkness and obscurity, the
logic of events, and forecast the result. From the
first, in his own quaint, original way, without
Lincoln and Emancipation
IX
ostentation or offense to his associates, he was
pilot and commander of his administration.
He was one of the few great rulers whose wis-
dom increased with his power, and whose spirit
grew gentler and tenderer as his triumphs were
multiplied. This was the man, and these his
associates, who look down upon us from the
canvas.
The present is not a fitting occasion to ex-
amine, with any completeness, the causes that
led to the Proclamation of Emancipation; but
the peculiar relation of that act to the character
of Abraham Lincoln cannot be understood, with-
out considering one remarkable fact in his his-
tory. His earlier years were passed in a region
remote from the centers of political thought, and
without access to the great world of books. But
the few books that came within his reach he
devoured with the divine hunger of genius.
One paper, above all others, led him captive,
and filled his spirit with the majesty of its truth
and the sublimity of its eloquence. It was the
Declaration of American Independence. The
author and the signers of that instrument be-
came, in his early youth, the heroes of his politi-
cal worship. I doubt if history affords any
example of a life so early, so deeply, and so
permanently influenced by a single political
truth, as was Abraham Lincoln's by the central
x Lincoln and Emancipation
doctrine of the Declaration, — the liberty and
equality of all men. Long before his fame had
become national he said,
That is the electric cord in the Declaration, —
that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving
men together, and that will link such hearts as long
as the love of freedom exists in the minds of men
throughout the world.
That truth runs, like a thread of gold, through
the whole web of his political life. It was the
spear-point of his logic in his debates with
Douglas. It was the inspiring theme of his
remarkable speech at the Cooper Institute, New
York, in 1860, which gave him the nomination
to the Presidency. It filled him with reverent
awe when on his way to the capital to enter the
shadows of the terrible conflict then impending,
he uttered, in Independence Hall, at Philadel-
phia, these remarkable words, which were
prophecy then, but are history now:
I have never had a feeling, politically, that did
not spring from the sentiments embodied in the
Declaration of Independence. I have often pon-
dered over the dangers which were incurred by the
men who assembled here, and framed and adopted
that Declaration of Independence. I have pon-
dered over the toils that were endured by the offi-
cers and soldiers of the army who achieved that in-
Lincoln and Emancipation xi
dependence. I have often enquired of myself what
great principle or idea it was that kept this con-
federacy so long together. It was not the mere
matter of the separation of the Colonies from the
mother land, but that sentiment in the Declaration
of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to
the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world
for all future time. It was that which gave promise
that, in due time, the weight would be lifted from
the shoulders of all men. This is the sentiment em-
bodied in the Declaration of Independence. Nov/,
my friends, can this country be -saved upon that
basis. If it can, I will consider myself one of the
happiest men in the world if I can help to save it.
If it cannot be saved upon that principle, it will be
truly awful. But if this country cannot be saved
without giving up that principle, I was about to say,
I would rather be assassinated on this spot than sur-
render it.
Deep and strong was his devotion to liberty;
yet deeper and stronger still was his devotion
to the Union; for he believed that without the
Union permanent liberty for either race on this
continent would be impossible. And because
of this belief, he was reluctant, perhaps more
reluctant than most of his associates, to strike
slavery with the sword. For many months the
passionate appeals of millions of his associates
seemed not to move him. He listened to all the
xii Lincoln and Emancipation
phases of the discussion, and stated, in language
clearer and stronger than any opponent had
used, the dangers, the difficulties, and the pos-
sible futility of the act. In reference to its
practical wisdom, Congress, the Cabinet, and
the country were divided. Several of his gen-
erals had proclaimed the freedom of slaves
within the limits of their commands. The
President revoked their proclamations. His
first Secretary of War had inserted a paragraph
in his annual report advocating a similar policy.
The President suppressed it. On the 19th of
August, 1862, Horace Greeley published a letter
addressed to the President, entitled "The Prayer
of Twenty Millions," in which he said:
On the face of this wide earth, Mr. President,
there is not one disinterested, determined, intelligent
champion of the Union cause who does not feel that
all attempts to put down the rebellion and at the
same time uphold its inciting cause are preposterous
and futile.
To this the President responded in that ever-
memorable reply of August 22, in which he
said:
If there be those who would not save the Union
unless they could at the same time save slavery, I
do not agree with them.
Lincoln and Emancipation xiii
If there be those who would not save the Union
unless they could at the same time destroy slavery,
I do not agree with them*
My paramount object is to save the Union, and
not either to save or to destroy slavery.
If I could save the Union without freeing any
slave, I would do it. If I could save it by freeing
all the slaves, I would do it, — and if I could do it
by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would
also do that.
What I do about slavery and the colored race, I
do because I believe it helps to save the Union ; and
what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe
it would help to save the Union. I shall do less
whenever I shall believe that what I am doing hurts
the cause, and I shall do more whenever I believe
doing more will help the cause.
Thus, against all importunities on the one
hand and remonstrances on the other, he took
the mighty question to his own heart, and, dur-
ing the long months of that terrible battles-
summer, wrestled with it alone. But at length
he realized the saving truth, that great, unsettled
questions have no pity for the repose of nations.
On the 22d of September, he summoned his
Cabinet to announce his conclusion. It was my
good fortune, on that same day, and a few hours
after the meeting, to hear, from the lips of one
who participated, the story of the scene. As
xiv Lincoln and Emancipation
the chiefs of the Executive Departments came
in, one by one, they found the President reading
a favorite chapter from a popular humorist.
He was lightening the weight of the great bur-
den which rested upon his spirit. He finished
the chapter, reading it aloud. And here I
quote, from the published journal of the late
Chief Justice, an entry, written immediately
after the meeting, and bearing unmistakable
evidence that it is almost a literal transcript of
Lincoln's words :
The President then took a graver tone, and said:
Gentlemen, I have, as you are aware, thought a
great deal about the relation of this war to slavery;
and you all remember that, several weeks ago, I
read to you an order I had prepared upon the sub-
ject, which, on account of objections made by some
of you, was not issued. Ever since then my mind
has been much occupied with this subject, and I have
thought all along that the time for acting on it
might probably come. I think the time has come
now. I wish it was a better time. I wish that we
were in a better condition. The action of the army
against the rebels has not been quite what I should
have best liked. But they have been driven out of
Maryland, and Pennsylvania is no longer in danger
of invasion.
When the rebel army was at Frederick, I de-
termined as soon as it should be driven out of Mary-
Lincoln and Emancipation xv
land to issue a proclamation of emancipation, such
as I thought most likely to be useful. I said noth-
ing to any one, but I made a promise to myself and
(hesitating a little) to my Maker. The rebel army
is now driven out, and I am going to fulfill that
promise.
" I have got you together to hear what I have
written down. I do not wish your advice about
the main matter, for that I have determined for my-
self. This I say without intending anything but re-
spect for any one of you. But I already know the
views of each on this question. They have been
heretofore expressed, and I have considered them
as thoroughly and carefully as I can. What I have
written is that which my reflections have determined
me to say. If there is anything in the expressions I
use, or in any minor matter which any one of you
thinks had best be changed, I shall be glad to re-
ceive your suggestions.
" One other observation I will make : I knew very
well that many others might, in this matter as in
others, do better than I can; and if I was satisfied
that the public confidence was more fully possessed by
any one of them than by me, and knew of any con-
stitutional way in which he could be put in my place,
he should have it. I would gladly yield it to him.
But though I believe I have not so much of the con-
fidence of the people as I had some time since, I do
not know that, all things considered, any other person
has more; and, however this may be, there is no
way in which I can have any other man put where I
xvi Lincoln and Emancipation
am. I am here. I must do the best I can and bear
the responsibility of taking the course which I feel
I ought to take."
The President then proceeded to read his Emanci-
pation Proclamation, making remarks on the several
parts as he went on, and showing that he had fully
considered the subject in all the lights under which
it had been presented to him.
The Proclamation was amended in a few
matters of detail. It was signed and published
that day. The world knows the rest, and will
not forget it till "the last syllable of recorded
time."

Draft of Message to Congress, February 5,
1865 *
(Not signed or sent.)
FELLOW-CITIZENS of^ the Senate and
House of Representatives: I respect-
fully recommend that a joint resolution,
substantially as follows, be adopted so soon as
practicable by your honorable bodies: "Re-
solved by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America, in Con-
gress assembled, That the President of the
United States is hereby empowered, in his dis-
1 Lincoln's final attempt to save the South from financial ruin.
At the meeting of his Cabinet, Nicolay tells us " with the words
' You are all opposed to me ' sadly uttered, the President folded
up the papers and ceased the discussion. The project was then
nearest his heart and he doubtless meant to present it to the
Cabinet again at a later day, hoping for its more favorable con-
sideration.

cretion, to pay $400,000,000 to the States of Ala-
bama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia,
in the manner and on the conditions following,
to wit : The payment to be made in six per cent,
government bonds, and to be distributed among
said States pro rata on their respective slave
populations as shown by the census of i860, and
no part of said sum to be paid unless all resist-
ance to the national authority shall be abandoned
and cease, on or before the first day of April
next; and upon such abandonment and ceasing
of resistance one half of said sum to be paid in
manner aforesaid, and the remaining half to be
paid only upon the amendment of the National
Constitution recently proposed by Congress
becoming valid law, on or before the first day
of July next, by the action thereon of the requi-
site number of States."
The adoption of such resolution is sought with
a view to embody it, with other propositions, in
a proclamation looking to peace and reunion.
Whereas, a joint resolution has been adopted
by Congress, in the words following, to wit:
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, do proclaim, declare,
and make known, that on the conditions therein
1865] Draft of Message 3
stated, the power conferred on the executive in
and by said joint resolution will be fully exer-
cised; that war will cease and armies be reduced
to a basis of peace; that all political offenses
will be pardoned; that all property, except
slaves, liable to confiscation or forfeiture, will
be released therefrom, except in cases of inter-
vening interests of third parties; and that liber-
ality will be recommended to Congress upon all
points not lying within executive control.

Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C,
February 5, 1865.
Governor Bramlette, Frankfort, Ky.: Your
despatch received. Will send official copy of
constitutional amendment by mail to-morrow,
this being Sunday. Precedents justify the legis-
lature to act on ex-officio notice of Congress hav-
ing passed the proposed amendment; neverthe-
less, I will send you the authenticated copy.

Order to make Corrections in the Draft
Executive Mansion, February 6, 1865.
Whereas complaints are made in some locali-
ties respecting the assignments of quotas and
credits allowed for the pending call of troops to
fill up the armies: Now, in order to determine
all controversies in respect thereto, and to avoid
any delay in filling up the armies, it is ordered,
That the Attorney-General, Brigadier-General
Richard Delafield, and Colonel C. W. Foster,
be, and they are hereby constituted, a board to ex-
amine into the proper quotas and credits of the
respective States and districts under the call of
December 19, 1864, with directions, if any errors
be found therein, to make such corrections as
the law and facts may require, and report their
determination to the Provost-Marshal-General.
The determination of said board to be final and
conclusive, and the draft to be made in conform-
ity therewith.
2. The Provost-Marshal-General is ordered
to make the draft in the respective districts as
speedily as the same can be done after the 15th
of this month. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Lieutenant-Colonel Glenn, Henderson, Ky.:
1865] Letter to Grant 5
Complaint is made to me that you are forcing
negroes into the military service, and even tor-
turing them — riding them on rails and the like
, — to extort their consent. I hope this may be a
mistake. The like must not be done by you, or
any one under you. You must not force negroes
any more than white men. Answer me on this.
A. Lincoln.
Letter to General U. S. Grant
Executive Mansion, February 7, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va.:
General Singleton, who bears you this, claims
that he already has arrangements made, if you
consent, to bring a large amount of Southern
produce through your lines. For its bearing on
our finances I would be glad for this to be done
if it can be without injuriously disturbing your
military operations, or supplying the enemy. I
wish you to be judge and master on these points.
Please see and hear him fully, and decide
whether anything, and if anything what, can be
done in the premises. Yours truly,
A. Lincoln.
Telegram to General U. S. Grant
Executive Mansion, February 8, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va.:
I am called on by the House of Representatives
6 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 8
to give an account of my interview with Messrs.
Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell, and it is very-
desirable to me to put in your despatch of Feb-
ruary i, to the Secretary of War, in which,
among other things, you say: "I fear now their
going back without any expression from any one
in authority will have a bad influence." I think
the despatch does you credit, while I do not see
that it can embarrass you. May I use it?

* Telegram to M. Hoyt
Executive Mansion, February 8, 1865.
Mark Hoyt, Esq., New York: The Presi-
dent has received your dispatch asking an inter-

convenience and he will see them as soon as he
possibly can after their arrival.

Letter to Governor Smith
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C,
February 8, 1865.
Governor Smith, of Vermont: Complaint is
made to me by Vermont that the assignment of
her quota for the draft on the pending call is
intrinsically unjust, and also in bad faith of the
government's promise to fairly allow credits for
1865] Letter to Smith 7
men previously furnished. To illustrate, a sup-
posed case is stated as follows :
Vermont and New Hamphire must, between
them, furnish six thousand (6,000) men on the
pending call, and being equals each must furnish
as many as the other in the long run. But the
government finds that on former calls Vermont
furnished a surplus of five hundred (500), and
New Hampshire a surplus of fifteen hundred
(1,500) . These two surpluses making two thou-
sand (2,000), and added to the six thousand
(6,000), making eight thousand (8,000) to be
furnished by the two States, or four thousand
(4,000) each, less by fair credits. Then sub-
tract Vermont's surplus of five hundred (500)
from her four thousand (4,000), leaves three
thousand five hundred (3,500) as her quota on
the pending call ; and likewise substract New
Hampshire's surplus of fifteen hundred (1,500)
from her four thousand (4,000), leaves two
thousand five hundred (2,500) as her quota on
the pending call. These three thousand five
hundred (3,500) and two thousand five hundred
(2,500) make precisely the six thousand (6,000)
which the supposed case requires from the two
States, and it is just equal for Vermont to fur-
nish one thousand (1,000) more now than New
Hampshire, because New Hampshire has here-
tofore furnished one thousand (1,000) more
8 Abraham Lincoln • [Feb. 8
than Vermont, which equalizes the burdens of
the two in the long run; and this result, so far
from being bad faith to Vermont, is indispen-
sable to keeping good faith with New Hamp-
shire. By no other result can the six thousand
(6,000) men be obtained from the two States,
and at the same time deal justly and keep faith
with both, and we do but confuse ourselves in
questioning the process by which the right re-
sult is reached. The supposed case is perfect as
an illustration.
The pending call is not for three hundred
thousand (300,000) men subject to fair credits,
but is for three hundred thousand (300,000) re-
maining after all fair credits have been deduct-
ed, and it is impossible to concede what Vermont
asks without coming out short of the three hun-
dred thousand (300,000) men, or making other
localities pay for the partiality shown her.
This upon the case stated. If there be differ-
ent reasons for making an allowance to Ver-
mont, let them be presented and considered
Yours truly, Abraham Lincoln.
Messages to Congress, February 8, 1865
To the Honorable the Senate and House of
Representatives: The joint resolution, entitled
"Joint resolution declaring certain States not en-
titled to representation in the electoral college,"
*865] Messages to Congress 9
has been signed by the executive, in deference to
the view of Congress implied in its passage and
presentation to him. In his own view, however,
the two Houses of Congress, convened under
the twelfth article of the Constitution, have com-
plete power to exclude from counting all elec-
toral votes deemed by them to be illegal ; and it
is not competent for the executive to defeat or
obstruct that power by a veto, as would be the
case if his action were at all essential in the
matter. He disclaims all right of the executive
to interfere in any way in the matter of canvass-
ing or counting electoral votes ; and he also dis-
claims that, by signing said resolution, he has
expressed any opinion on the recitals of the pre-
amble, or any judgment of his own upon the
subject of the resolution.
Abraham Lincoln.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
I transmit to Congress a copy of a note of the
4th instant, addressed by J. Hume Burnley,
Esq, her Britannic Majesty's charge d'affaires,
to the Secretary of State, relative to a sword
which it is proposed to present to Captain Hen-
ry S. Stellwagen, commanding the United States
frigate Constellation, as a mark of gratitude for
his services to the British brigantine Mersey.
The expediency of sanctioning the acceptance of
io Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
the gift is submitted to your consideration.

Reply to a Committee of Congress, Report-
ing the Result of the Electoral Count,
February 9, 1865.
With deep gratitude to my countrymen for
this mark of their confidence; with a distrust of
my own ability to perform the duty required
under the most favorable circumstances, and
now rendered doubly difficult by existing na-
tional perils; yet with a firm reliance on the
strength of our free government, and the event-
ual loyalty of the people to the just principles
upon which it is founded, and above all with an
unshaken faith in the Supreme Ruler of nations,
I accept this trust. Be pleased to signify this to
the respective Houses of Congress.
Message to the House of Representatives,
February 10, 1865
To the Honorable the House of Representa-
tives: In response to your resolution of the 8th
instant, requesting information in relation to a
conference recently held in Hampton Roads, I
have the honor to state that on the day of the
date I gave Francis P. Blair, Sr., a card written
on as follows, to wit:
1 865] Message to House n
Allow the bearer, F. P. Blair, Sr., to pass our lines,
go south, and return. A. LINCOLN.
December 28, 1864.
That at the time I was informed that Mr.
Blair sought the card as a means of getting to
Richmond, Virginia; but he was given no au-
thority to speak or act for the government, nor
was I informed of anything he would say or do
on his own account, or otherwise. Afterward
Mr. Blair told me that he had been to Rich-
mond, and had seen Mr. Jefferson Davis; and
he (Mr. Blair) at the same time left with me a
manuscript letter, as follows, to wit:
Richmond, Virginia, January 12, 1865.
F. P. Blair, Esq.
Sir: I have deemed it proper, and probably de-
sirable to you, to give you, in this form, the substance
of remarks made by me, to be repeated by you to
President Lincoln, etc., etc.
I have no disposition to find obstacles in forms, and
am willing, now as heretofore, to enter into negotia-
tions for the restoration of peace; am ready to send
a commission whenever I have reason to suppose it
will be received, or to receive a commission, if the
United States Government shall choose to send one.
That, notwithstanding the rejection of our former
offers, I would, if you could promise that a commis-
sioner, minister, or other agent would be received,
12 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
appoint one immediately, and renew the effort to enter
into conference, with a view to secure peace to the two
countries. Yours, etc., Jefferson Davis.
Afterward, and with the view that it should
be shown to Mr. Davis, I wrote and delivered
to Mr. Blair a letter as follows, to wit:
Washington, January 18, 1865.
F. P. Blair, Esq.
Sir: You having shown me Mr. Davis's letter to
you of the 12th instant, you may say to him that I
have constantly been, am now, and shall continue
ready to receive any agent whom he, or any other in-
fluential person now resisting the national authority,
may informally send to me, with the view of securing
peace to the people of our one common country.
Yours, etc., A. Lincoln.
Afterward Mr. Blair dictated for and author-
ized me to make an entry on the back of my
retained copy of the letter last above recited,
which entry is as follows :
January 28, 1865.
To-day Mr. Blair tells me that on the 21st instant
he delivered to Mr. Davis the original, of which the
within is a copy, and left it with him ; that at the time
of delivering it Mr. Davis read it over twice in Mr.
Blair's presence, at the close of which he (Mr. Blair)
remarked that the part about " our one common coun-
try " related to the part of Mr. Davis's letter about
" the two countries," to which Mr. Davis replied that
he so understood it. A. Lincoln.
1865] Message to House 13
Afterward the Secretary of War placed in my
hands the following telegram, indorsed by him
as appears :
{Cipher.')
Executive Mansion,
The following telegram received at Washington,
January 29, 1865 :
Headquarters Army of the James,
January 29, 1865. 6:30 P.M.
The following despatch just received from Major-
General Parke, who refers it to me for my action.
I refer it to you in Lieutenant-General Grant's ab-
sence.
E. O. C. Ord, Ma j .-Gen. Commanding.
Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
January 29, 1865. 4 P.M.
The following despatch is forwarded to you for
your action. Since I have no knowledge of General
Grant's having had any understanding of this kind,
I refer the matter to you as the ranking officer present
in the two armies.
Jno. G. Parke, Major-General Commanding.
Major-General E. O. C. Ord,
Headquarters Army of the James.
From Headquarters Ninth Army Corps, 29th.
Alex. H. Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter, and J. A.
Campbell desire to cross my lines, in accordance with
an understanding claimed to exist with Lieutenant-
14 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
General Grant, on their way to Washington as peace
commissioners. Shall they be admitted? They de-
sire an early answer, to come through immediately.
Would like to reach City Point to-night if they can.
If they cannot do this, they would like to come
through at 10 A. M. to-morrow morning.
O. B. Wilcox,
Major-General Commanding 9th Corps.
Major-General Jno. G. Parke,
Headquarters Army of the Potomac.
Respectfully referred to the President for such in-
structions as he may be pleased to give.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
January 29, 1865. 8:30 p.m.
It appears that about the time of placing the
foregoing telegram in my hands, the Secretary
of War despatched General Ord as follows, to
wit:
(Private and confidential.)
War Department, January 29, 1865. 10 p.m.
This department has no knowledge of any under-
standing by General Grant to allow any person to
come within his lines as commissioner of any sort.
You will therefore allow no one to come into your
lines under such character or profession until you re-
ceive the President's instructions, to whom your tele-
gram will be submitted for his directions.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
Major-General Ord.
x865l Message to House 15
Afterward, by my direction, the Secretary of
War telegraphed General Ord as follows, to
wit:
War Department, January 30, 1865. 10:30 a. m.
By direction of the President, you are instructed
to inform the three gentlemen, Messrs. Stephens,
Hunter, and Campbell, that a messenger will be de-
spatched to them at or near where they now are with-
out unnecessary delay.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
Major-General E. O. C. Ord,
Headquarters Army of the James.
Afterward I prepared and put into the hands
of Major Thomas T. Eckert the following in-
structions and message :
Executive Mansion, January 30, 1865.
Major Thomas T. Eckert.
Sir: You will proceed with the documents placed
in your hands, and, on reaching General Ord, will
deliver him the letter addressed to him by the Secre-
tary of War; then, by General Ord's assistance, pro-
cure an interview with Messrs. Stephens, Hunter, and
Campbell, or any of them. Deliver to him or them
the paper on which your own letter is written. Note
on the copy which you retain the time of delivery and
to whom delivered. Receive their answer in writing,
waiting a reasonable time for it, and which, if it con-
tain their decision to come through without further
condition, will be your warrant to ask General Ord
1 6 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
to pass them through, as directed in the letter of the
Secretary of War to him. If, by their answer, they
decline to come, or propose other terms, do not have
them passed through. And this being your whole
duty, return and report to me.
Yours truly, A. Lincoln.
Messrs. Alex. H. Stephens, J. A. Campbell,
and R. M. T. Hunter.
Gentlemen: I am instructed by the President of
the United States to place this paper in your hands,
with the information that if you pass through the
United States military lines, it will be understood that
you do so for the purpose of an informal conference
on the basis of the letter, a copy of which is on the
reverse side of this sheet, and that, if you choose to
pass on such understanding, and so notify me in writ-
ing, I will procure the commanding general to pass
you through the lines and to Fortress Monroe, under
such military precautions as he may deem prudent,
and at which place you will be met in due time by
some person or persons, for the purpose of such in-
formal conference. And, further, that you shall have
protection, safe-conduct, and safe return in all events.
Thomas T. Eckert,
Major and Aide-de-camp.
City Point, Va., February i, 1865.
Washington, January 18, 1865.
F. P. Blair, Esq.
Sir: You having shown me Mr. Davis's letter to
you of the 12th instant, you may say to him that I
have constantly been, am now, and shall continue
1865] Message to House 17
ready to receive any agent whom, or any other
influential person now resisting the national author-
ity, may informally send to me, with the view of se-
curing peace to the people of our one common coun-
try. Yours, etc., A. Lincoln.
Afterward, but before Major Eckert had de-
parted, the following despatch was received
from General Grant:
{Cipher.}
(Private and confidential.)
The following telegram, received at Washington,
January 31, 1865 :
City Point, Va.,
January 31, 1865. 10:30 A.M.
His Excellency, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States :
The following communication was received here
last evening:
Petersburg, Virginia,
January 30, 1865.
Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant, Commanding
Armies of the United States.
Sir: We desire to pass your lines under safe-con-
duct, and to proceed to Washington to hold a con-
ference with President Lincoln upon the subject of
the existing war, and with a view of ascertaining upon
what terms it may be terminated, in pursuance of the
course indicated by him in his letter to Mr. Blair
of January 18, 1865, of which we presume you have
1 8 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
a copy, and if not we wish to see you in person, if
convenient, and to confer with you upon the subject.
Very respectfully yours,
Alexander H. Stephens.
J. A. Campbell.
R. M. T. Hunter.
I have sent directions to receive these gentlemen,
and expect to have them at my quarters this evening,
awaiting your instructions. U. S. Grant,
Lieutenant-General Commanding Armies of the
United States.
This, it will be perceived, transferred General
Ord's agency in the matter to General Grant. I
resolved, however, to send Major Eckert for-
ward with his message, and accordingly tele-
graphed General Grant as follows, to wit:
Secretary of War.
Executive Mansion, January 31, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va. :
A messenger is coming to you on the business con-
tained in your despatch. Detain the gentlemen in
comfortable quarters until he arrives, and then act
upon the message he brings as far as applicable, it
having been made up to pass through General Ord's
hands, and when the gentlemen were supposed to be
beyond our lines. A. Lincoln.
When Major Eckert departed, he bore with
him a letter of the Secretary of War to General
Grant, as follows, to wit:
1865] Message to House 19
War Department, January 30, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, Commanding, etc.
General: The President desires that you will
please procure for the bearer, Major Thomas T.
Eckert, an interview with Messrs. Stephens, Hunter,
and Campbell, and if, on his return to you, he request
it, pass them through our lines to Fortress Monroe,
by such route and under such military precautions as
you may deem prudent, giving them protection and
comfortable quarters while there, and that you let
none of this have any effect upon your movements or
plans.
By order of the President.
Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.
Supposing the proper point to be then
reached, I despatched the Secretary of State with
the following instructions, Major Eckert, how-
ever, going ahead of him :
Executive Mansion, January 31, 1865.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State:
You will proceed to Fortress Monroe, Virginia, there
to meet and informally confer with Messrs. Stephens,
Hunter, and Campbell, on the basis of my letter to F.
P. Blair, Esq., of January 18, 1865, a copy of which
you have. You will make known to them that three
things are indispensable, to wit:
1. The restoration of the national authority
throughout all the States.
2. No receding by the executive of the United
States on the slavery question from the position as-
20 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
sumed thereon in the late annual message to Con-
gress, and in preceding documents.
3. No cessation of hostilities short of an end of the
war and the disbanding of all forces hostile to the
government.
You will inform them that all propositions of
theirs, not inconsistent with the above, will be consid-
ered and passed upon in a spirit of sincere liberality.
You will hear all they may choose to say, and report
it to me. You will not assume to definitely consum-
mate anything. Yours, etc., Abraham Lincoln.
On the day of its date, the following telegram
was sent to General Grant:
(Sent in Cipher at 9 130 A. M.)
War Department, February 1, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Virginia:
Let nothing which is transpiring change, hinder, or
delay your military movements or plans.
A. Lincoln.
Afterward the following despatch was re-
ceived from General Grant:
(In cipher.)
Military Telegraph, War Department.
The following telegram received at Washington,
2:30 p. M., February 1, 1865:
City Point, Va., February 1, 1865. 12:30 p.m.
His Excellency, A. Lincoln: Your despatch re-
ceived. There will be no armistice in consequence of
1865] Message to House 21
the presence of Mr. Stephens, and others within our
lines. The troops are kept in readiness to move at
the shortest notice, if occasion should justify it.
U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General.
To notify Major Eckert that the Secretary of
State would be at Fortress Monroe, and to put
them in communication, the following despatch
was sent:
(Sent in Cipher at $170 P. M.)
War Department, February 1, 1865.
Major T. T. Eckert, City Point, Virginia: Call
at Fortress Monroe, and put yourself under direction
of Mr. Seward, who will be there. A. Lincoln.
On the morning of the 2d instant, the follow-
ing telegrams were received by me, respectively
from the Secretary of State and Major Eckert:
Fort Monroe, Va., February 1, 1865. 11 130 p. m.
The President of the United States: Arrived at
ten this evening. Richmond party not here. I re-
main here. William H. Seward.
City Point, Va., February 1, 1865. 10 p.m.
His Excellency, A. Lincoln: I have the honor to
report the delivery of your communication and my
letter at 4:15 this afternoon, to which I received a
reply at 6 P. M., but not satisfactory.
At 8 p. M. the following note, addressed to General
Grant, was received:
22 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
City Point, Va., February i, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant.
Sir: We desire to go to Washington city to con-
fer informally with the President, personally, in refer-
ence to the matters mentioned in his letter to Mr.
Blair, of the 18th of January, ultimo, without any
personal compromise on any question in the letter.
We have the permission to do so from the authori-
ties in Richmond.
Very respectfully yours,
Alex. H. Stephens,
R. M. T. Hunter.
J. A. Campbell.
At 9 130 p. M., I notified them that they could not
proceed further unless they complied with the terms
expressed in my letter. The point of meeting des-
ignated in above note would not, in my opinion, he
insisted upon. Think Fort Monroe would be ac-
ceptable. Having complied with my instructions, I
will return to Washington to-morrow unless other-
wise ordered. Thos. T. Eckert, Major, etc.
On reading this despatch of Major Eckert, I
was about to recall him and the Secretary of
State, when the following telegram of General
Grant to the Secretary of War was shown me:
(In cipher.)
Military Telegraph, War Dept.
The following telegram received at Washington,
February 2, 1865. 4.35 A. M.
1865] Message to House 23
City Point, Va., February i, 1865. 10:30 p. m.
Hon. Edwin M. Stanton: Now that the interview
between Major Eckert, under his written instructions,
and Mr. Stephens and party has ended, I will state
confidentially, but not officially — to become a mat-
ter of record — that I am convinced, upon conversa-
tion with Messrs. Stephens and Hunter, that their in-
tentions are good and their desire sincere to restore
peace and union. I have not felt myself at liberty to
express even views of my own, or to account for my
reticency. This has placed me in an awkward posi-
tion, which I could have avoided by not seeing them
in the first instance. I fear now their going back
without any expression from any one in authority
will have a bad influence. At the same time, I rec-
ognize the difficulties in the way of receiving these
informal commissioners at this time, and do not
know what to recommend. I am sorry, however,
that Mr. Lincoln cannot have an interview with the
two named in this dispatch, if not all three now within
our lines. Their letter to me was all that the Presi-
dent's instructions contemplated to secure their safe-
conduct, if they had used the same language to Major
Eckert.
U. S. Grant,
Lieutenant-General.
This despatch of General Grant changed my
purpose; and accordingly I telegraphed him,
and the Secretary of State, respectively, as fol-
lows:
24 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
(Sent in cipher at 9 A. M.)
War Department, February 2, 1865.
"Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Virginia:
Say to the gentlemen I will meet them personally at
Fortress Monroe as soon as I can get there.
A. Lincoln.
(Sent in cipher at 9 A. m) .
War Department, February 2, 1865.
Hon. William H. Seward, Fortress Monroe, Vir-
ginia: Induced by a despatch from General Grant,
I join you at Fort Monroe as soon as I can come.
A. Lincoln.
Before starting the following despatch was
shown me. I proceeded, nevertheless.
(Cipher.)
Office U. S. Military Telegraph, War Dept.
The following telegram received at Washington,
February 2, 1865 :
City Point, Va., February 2, 1865. 9 A. m.
Hon. William H. Seward, Fort Monroe: The
gentlemen here have accepted the proposed terms,
and will leave for Fort Monroe at 9 130 A. M.
U. S. Grant, Lieutenant-General.
Copy to Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of
War, Washington.
On the night of the 2d, I reached Hampton
Roads, found the Secretary of State and Major
Eckert on a steamer anchored offshore, and
learned of them that the Richmond gentlemen
were on another steamer also anchored offshore,
i86s] Message to House 25
in the Roads; and that the Secretary of State
had not yet seen or communicated with them.
Here I ascertained that Major Eckert had lit-
erally complied with his instructions, and I saw,
for the first time, the answer of the Richmond
gentlemen to him, which, in his despatch to me
of the 1 st, he characterizes as "not satisfactory."
That answer is as follows, to wit:
City Point, Va., February i, 1865.
Thomas T. Eckert, Major and Aide-de-camp.
Major: Your note, delivered by yourself this
day, has been considered. In reply, we have to
say that we were furnished with a copy of the letter
of President Lincoln to Francis P. Blair, Esq., of the
1 8th of January, ultimo, another copy of which is
appended to your note. Our instructions are con-
tained in a letter, of which the following is a copy:
Richmond, January 28, 1865.
In conformity with the letter of Mr. Lincoln, of
which the foregoing is a copy, you are to proceed to
Washington city for informal conference with him
upon the issues involved in the existing war, and for
the purpose of securing peace to the two countries.
With great respect, your obedient servant,
Jefferson Davis.
The substantial object to bs obtained by the infor-
mal conference is to ascertain upon what terms the
existing war can be terminated honorably.
Our instructions contemplate a personal interview
26 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
between President Lincoln and ourselves at Wash-
ington city, but with this explanation we are ready
to meet any person or persons that President Lincoln
may appoint, at such place as he may designate.
Our earnest desire is that a just and honorable peace
may be agreed upon, and we are prepared to receive
or submit propositions which may, possibly, lead to
the attainment of that end.
Very respectfully yours,
Alexander H. Stephens.
R. M. T. Hunter,
John A. Campbell.
A note of these gentlemen, subsequently ad-
dressed to General Grant, has already been given
in Major Eckert's despatch of the ist instant.
I also here saw, for the first time, the follow-
ing note, addressed by the Richmond gentlemen
to Major Eckert:
City Point, Va., February 2, 1865.
Thomas T. Eckert, Major and Aide-de-camp.
Major: In reply to your verbal statement that
your instructions did not allow you to alter the con-
ditions upon which a passport could be given to us,
we say that we are willing to proceed to Fortress
Monroe, and there to have an informal conference
with any person or persons that President Lincoln
may appoint, on the basis of his letter to Francis P.
Blair of the 18th of January, ultimo, or upon any
other terms or conditions that he may hereafter pro-
1865] Message to House 27
pose, not inconsistent with the essential principles of
self-government and popular rights upon which our
institutions are founded.
It is our earnest wish to ascertain, after a free in-
terchange of ideas and information, upon what prin-
ciples and terms, if any, a just and honorable peace
can be established without the further effusion of
blood, and to contribute our utmost efforts to accom-
plish such a result.
We think it better to add, that, in accepting your
passport, we are not to be understood as commiting
ourselves to anything, but to carry to this informal
conference the views and feelings above expressed.
Very respectfully yours, etc.,
Alexander H. Stephens.
J. A. Campbell.
R. M. T. Hunter.
Note. — The above communication was delivered
to me at Fort Monroe at 4 130 p. M., February 2d, by
Lieutenant-Colonel Babcock, of General Grant's
staff.
Thomas T. Eckert, Major and Aide-de-Camp.
On the morning of the 3d, the three gentle-
men, Messrs. Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell,
came aboard of our steamer, and had an inter-
view with the Secretary of State and myself, of
several hours' duration. No question of pre-
liminaries to the meeting was then and there
made or mentioned. No other person was pres-
28 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
ent; no papers were exchanged or produced;
and it was, in advance, agreed that the conver-
sation was to be informal and verbal merely.
On our part the whole substance of the instruc-
tions to the Secretary of State, hereinbefore re-
cited, was stated and insisted upon, and nothing
was said inconsistent therewith; while, by the
other party, it was not said that in any event or
on any condition, they ever would consent to
reunion; and yet they equally omitted to declare
that they never would so consent. They seemed
to desire a postponement of that question, and
the adoption of some other course first which,
as some of them seemed to argue, might or might
not lead to reunion; but which course, we
thought, would amount to an indefinite post-
ponement. The conference ended without re-
sult.
The foregoing, containing as is believed all
the information sought, is respectfully submit-
ted. Abraham Lincoln.
Washington, February 10, 1865.
Message to the Senate, February 10, 1865
To the Senate of the United States: In an-
swer to the resolution of the Senate of the 8th
instant, requesting information concerning re-
cent conversations or communications with in-
surgents, under executive sanction, I transmit a
1865] Message to Senate 29
report from the Secretary of State, to whom the
resolution was referred.
Abraham Lincoln.
To the President: The Secretary of State, to
whom was referred a resolution of the Senate of the
8th instant, requesting " the President of the United
States, if, in his opinion, not incompatible with the
public interests, to furnish to the Senate any informa-
tion in his possession concerning recent conversations
or communications with certain rebels, said to have
taken place under executive sanction, including com-
munications with the rebel Jefferson Davis, and any
correspondence relating thereto," has the honor to
report that the Senate may properly be referred to a
special message of the President bearing upon the
subject of the resolution, and transmitted to the
House this day. Appended to this report is a copy
of an instruction which has been addressed to Charles
Francis Adams, Esq., envoy extraordinary and minis-
ter plenipotentiary of the United States at London,
and which is the only correspondence found in this de-
partment touching the subject referred to in the reso-
lution.
Respectfully submitted,

{Extract.)
No. 1258.] Department of State, February 7, 1865.
30 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 10
On the morning of the 3d, the President, attended
by the Secretary, received Messrs. Stephens, Hunter,
and Campbell on board the United States steam trans-
port River Queen in Hampton Roads. The confer-
ence was altogether informal. There was no attend-
ance of secretaries, clerks, or other witnesses. Noth-
ing was written or read. The conversation, although
earnest and free, was calm, and courteous, and kind
on both sides. The Richmond party approached the
discussion rather indirectly, and at no time did they
either make categorical demands, or tender formal
stipulations or absolute refusals. Nevertheless, dur-
ing the conference, which lasted four hours, the sev-
eral points at issue between the government and the
insurgents were distinctly raised, and discussed fully,
intelligently, and in an amicable spirit. What the
insurgent party seemed chiefly to favor was a post-
ponement of the question of separation, upon which
the war is waged, and a mutual direction of efforts
of the government, as well as those of the insurgents,
to some extrinsic policy or scheme for a season during
which passions might be expected to subside, and the
armies be reduced, and trade and intercourse between
the people of both sections resumed. It was sug-
gested by them that through such postponement we
might now have immediate peace, with some not very
certain prospect of an ultimate satisfactory adjust-
ment of political relations between this government
and the States, section, or people now engaged in
conflict with it.
This suggestion, though deliberately considered,
1 865] Message to Senate 31
was nevertheless regarded by the President as one of
armistice or truce, and he announced that we can
agree to no cessation or suspension of hostilities, ex-
cept on the basis of the disbandment of the insurgent
forces, and the restoration of the national authority
throughout all the States in the Union. Collaterally,
and in subordination to the proposition which was
thus announced, the antislavery policy of the United
States was reviewed in all its bearings, and the Presi-
dent announced that he must not be expected to de-
part from the positions he had heretofore assumed in
his proclamation of emancipation and other docu-
ments, as these positions were reeiterated in his last
annual message. It was further declared by the
President that the complete restoration of the na-
tional authority was an indispensable condition of
any assent on our part to whatever form of peace
might be proposed. The President assured the other
party that, while he must adhere to these positions, he
would be prepared, so far as power is lodged with the
executive, to exercise liberality. His power, how-
ever, is limited by the Constitution; and when peace
should be made, Congress must necessarily act in
regard to appropriations of money and to the admis-
sion of representatives from the insurrectionary
States. The Richmond party were then informed
that Congress had, on the 31st ultimo, adopted by a
constitutional majority a joint resolution submitting
to the several States the proposition to abolish slavery
throughout the Union, and that there is every reason
to expect that it will be soon accepted by three-fourths
32 Abraham Lincoln [Feb, 13
of the States, so as to become a part of the national
organic law.
The conference came to an end by mutual acquies-
cence, without producing an agreement of views upon
the several matters discussed, or any of them.
Nevertheless, it is perhaps of some importance that we
have been able to submit our opinions and views di-
rectly to prominent insurgents, and to hear them in
answer in a courteous and not unfriendly manner.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
William H. Seward.
Letter to A. H. Stephens
Executive Mansion, February 10, 1865.
Hon. A. H. Stephens: According to our
agreement, your nephew, Lieutenant Stephens,
goes to you bearing this note. Please, in return,
to select and send to me that officer of the same
rank imprisoned at Richmond, whose physical
condition most urgently requires his release.
Respectfully, A. Lincoln.

I would like to give Mr. Hammond some tol-

Telegram to General J. Pope
Executive Mansion, February 12, 1865.
Major-General Pope, St. Louis, Missouri:
I understand that provost-marshals in different
parts of Missouri are assuming to decide that
the conditions of bonds are forfeited, and there-
fore are seizing and selling property to pay
damages. This, if true, is both outrageous and
ridiculous. Do not allow it. The courts, and
not provost-marshals, are to decide such ques-
tions unless when military necessity makes an
exception. Also excuse John Eaton, of Clay
County, and Wesley Martin, of Piatt, from
being sent South, and let them go East if any-
where.

you to relieve the people from all burdens, har-
assments, and oppressions, so far as is possible
consistently with your military necessities; that
the object of the war being to restore and main-
tain the blessings of peace and good govern-

Of your military necessities you must judge

Proclamation convening the Senate in
Extra Session, February 17, 1865
By the President of the United States of
America :
A Proclamation.
36 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 18
Whereas objects of interest to the United
States require that the Senate should be con-
vened at twelve o'clock on the fourth of March
next to receive and act upon such communica-
tions as may be made to it on the part of the
executive ;
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, have considered it to
be my duty to issue this, my proclamation, de-
claring that an extraordinary occasion requires
the Senate of the United States to convene for
the transaction of business at the Capitol, in the
city of Washington, on the fourth day of March
next, at twelve o'clock at noon on that day, of
which all who shall at that time be entitled to
act as members of that body are hereby required
to take notice.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the United States, at Washington, the
seventeenth day of February, in the year
[L. S.] of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-five, and of the independence
of the United States of America the
eighty-ninth.

Executive Mansion, February 17, 1865.
Chaplain Fitzgibbon yesterday sent me a dis-
patch invoking clemency for Jackson, Stewart
and Randall, who are to be shot to-day. The
dispatch is so vague that there is no means here
of ascertaining whether or not the execution of
sentence of one or more of them may not already
have been ordered. If not suspend execution
of sentence in their cases until further orders and
forward records of trials for examination.

Telegram to General N. J. T. Dana
Washington, February 18, 1865.
Major-General Dana: Allow the bearers of
this paper to prove to you if they can that the
foregoing statement of facts made on their rep-
resentation by the Secretary of the Treasury is
substantially true; and on their doing so to your
satisfaction in a reasonable degree, allow them
to bring out the products in the manner and on
the terms indicated by the Secretary of the
Treasury in the foregoing letter. The change
of lines, if true as stated, justifies the dealing
with the case, and similar cases, as special ones.
Yours, etc., A. Lincoln.

Letter to Governor Fletcher on Affairs
in Missouri
Executive Mansion, February 20, 1865.
Govenor Fletcher: It seems that there is now
no organized military force of the enemy in Mis-
souri, and yet that destruction of property and
life is rampant everywhere. Is not the cure for
this within easy reach of the people themselves?
It cannot but be that every man not naturally a
robber or cut-throat would gladly put an end
to this state of things. A large majority in every
locality must feel alike upon this subject; and
if so, they only need to reach an understanding,
one with another. Each leaving all others alone
solves the problem; and surely each would do
this but for his apprehension that others will not
leave him alone. Cannot this mischievous dis-
trust be removed? Let neighborhood meetings
be everywhere called and held, of all entertain-
ing a sincere purpose for mutual security in the
future, whatever they may heretofore have
1865] Letter to Fletcher 39
thought, said, or done about the war, or about
anything else. Let all such meet, and, waiving
all else, pledge each to cease harassing others,
and to make common cause against whoever per-
sists in making, aiding, or encouraging further
disturbance. The practical means they will
best know how to adopt and apply. At such
meetings old friendships will cross the memory,
and honor and Christian charity will come in to
help.
Please consider whether it may not be well to
suggest this to the now afflicted people of Mis-
souri. Yours truly, A. Lincoln.

Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va.:
I am in a little perplexity. I was induced to
authorize a gentlemen to bring Roger A. Pryor
here with a view of effecting an exchange of
him; but since then I have seen a despatch of
40 Abraham Lincoln [Feb. 27
yours showing that you specially object to his
exchange. Meantime he has reached here and
reported to me. It is an ungracious thing for
me to send him back to prison, and yet inad-
missible for him to remain here long. Cannot
you help me out with it? I can conceive that
there may be difference to you in days, and I
can keep him a few days to accommodate on that
point. I have not heard of my son's reaching
you. A. Lincoln.

Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 18651
FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN: At this
second appearing to take the oath of the

for an extended address than there was at the

course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper.
Now, at the expiration of four years, during
which public declarations have been constantly
called forth on every point and phase of the
great contest which still absorbs the attention
and engrosses the energies of the nation, little
that is new could be presented. The progress
of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends,
is as well known to the public as to myself; and
it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encour-
aging to all. With high hope for the future,
no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four
years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed
to an impending civil war. All dreaded it —
all sought to avert it. While the inaugural ad-
dress was being delivered from this place, de-
voted altogether to saving the Union without

This Letter was one of Three Selected by John G. Nicolay for the Republican Club Souvenir of 1894, at Reprewntinj
Lincoln at his Best.
1865] Second Inaugural Address 45
war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to
destroy it without war — seeking to dissolve the
Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both
parties deprecated war; but one of them would
make war rather than let the nation survive;
and the other would accept war rather than let
it perish. And the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were col-
ored slaves, not distributed generally over the
Union, but localized in the Southern part of it.
These slaves constituted a peculiar and power-
ful interest. All knew that this interest was,
somehow, the cause of the war. To strengthen,
perpetuate, and extend this interest was the ob-
ject for which the insurgents would rend the
Union, even by war; while the government
claimed no right to do more than to restrict the
territorial enlargement of it.
Neither party expected for the war the mag-
nitude or the duration which it has already at-
tained. Neither anticipated that the cause of
the conflict might cease with, or even before, the
conflict itself should cease. Each looked for
an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental
and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and
pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid
against the other. It may seem strange that any
men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in
wringing their bread from the sweat of other
46 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 4
men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not
judged. The prayers of both could not be an-
swered— that of neither has been answered fully.
The Almighty has his own purposes. "Woe
unto the world because of offenses! for it must
needs be that offenses come; but woe to that
man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall
suppose that American slavery is one of those
offenses which, in the providence of God, must
needs come, but which, having continued
through his appointed time, he now wills to re-
move, and that he gives to both North and South
this terrible war, as the woe due to those by
whom the offense came, shall we discern therein
any departure from those divine attributes
which the believers in a living God always as-
cribe to him? Fondly do we hope — fervently
do we pray — that this mighty scourge of war
may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that
it continue until all the wealth piled by the
bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of un-
requited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop
of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by
another drawn with the sword, as was said three
thousand years ago, so still it must be said, "The
judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether."
With malice toward none; with charity for
all ; with firmness in the right, as God gives us
1865] Second Inaugural Address 47
to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work
we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to
care for him who shall have borne the battle,
and for his widow, and his orphan — to do all
which may achieve and cherish a just and last-
ing peace among ourselves, and with all nations.

Major-General Pope, St. Louis, Missouri:
Please state briefly, by telegraph, what you con-
cluded about the assessments in St. Louis
County. Early in the war one Samuel B.
Churchill was sent from St. Louis to Louisville,
where I have quite satisfactory evidence that he
has not misbehaved. Still I am told his prop-
erty at St. Louis is subjected to the assessment,
which I think it ought not to be. Still I wish
to know what you think. A. LINCOLN.

Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va.:
Your two despatches to the Secretary of War,
1865] Letters to Grant 49
one relating to supplies for the enemy going by
the Blackwater, and the other to General Sin-
gleton and Judge Hughes, have been laid before
me by him. As to Singleton and Hughes, I
think they are not in Richmond by any author-
ity, unless it be from you. I remember noth-
ing from me which could aid them in getting
there, except a letter to you, as follows, to wit:
Executive Mansion, February 7, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant: General Single-
ton, who bears you this, claims that he already has
arrangements made, if you consent, to bring a large
amount of Southern produce through your lines. For
its bearing on our finances, I would be glad for this
to be done, if it can be, without injuriously disturbing
your military operations, or supplying the enemy. I
wish you to be judge and master on these points.
Please see and hear him fully, and decide whether
anything, and, if anything, what, can be done in the
premises. Yours truly, A. Lincoln.
I believe I gave Hughes a card putting him
with Singleton on the same letter. However
this may be, I now authorize you to get Single-
ton and Hughes away from Richmond, if you
choose, and can. I also authorize you, by an
order, or in what form you choose, to suspend
all operations on the Treasury-trade permits, in
all places southeastward of the Alleghanies.

Washington, D. C, March 9, 1865.
Lieutenant-General Grant, City Point, Va.:
I see your despatch to the Secretary of War, ob-
jecting to rebel prisoners being allowed to take
the oath and go free. Supposing that I am re-
sponsible for what is done in this way, I think
fit to say that there is no general rule of action,
allowing prisoners to be discharged merely on
taking the oath. What has been done is that
members of Congress come to me, from time to
time, with lists of names, alleging that from
personal knowledge, and evidence of reliable
persons, they are satisfied that it is safe to dis-
charge the particular persons named on the lists,
and I have ordered their discharge. These
members are chiefly from the border States, and
those they get discharged are their neighbors
and neighbors' sons. They tell me that they
do not bring to me one-tenth of the names which
are brought to them, bringing only such as their
knowledge or the proof satisfies them about. I
have, on the same principle, discharged some on
the representations of others than members of
Congress; as, for instance, Governor Johnson,
of Tennessee. The number I have discharged
1 865] Proclamation 51
has been rather larger than I liked, reaching, I
should think, an average of fifty a day since the
recent general exchange commenced. On the
same grounds, last year, I discharged quite a
number at different times, aggregating perhaps
a thousand Missourians and Kentuckians; and
their members, returning here since the prison-
ers' return to their homes, report to me only two
cases of proving false. Doubtless some more
have proved false; but, on the whole, I believe
what I have done in this way has done good
rather than harm. A. LINCOLN.
Proclamation offering Pardon to Desert-
ers, March 11, 1865
By the President of the United States of
America:
A Proclamation.
Whereas the twenty-first section of the act of
Congress approved on the third instant, entitled
"An act to amend the several acts heretofore
passed to provide for the enrolling and calling
out the national forces, and for other purposes,"
requires :
That in addition to the other lawful penalties of
the crime of desertion from the military or naval
service, all persons who have deserted the military or
naval service of the United States who shall not re-
52 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. n
turn to said service, or report themselves to a Provost
Marshal within sixty days after the proclamation
hereinafter mentioned, shall be deemed and taken to
have voluntarily relinquished and forfeited their
rights of citizenship and their rights to become citi-
zens, and such deserters shall be forever incapable of
holding any office of trust or profit under the United
States, or of exercising any rights of citizens thereof;
and all persons who shall hereafter desert the mili-
tary or the naval service, and all persons who, being
duly enrolled, shall depart the jurisdiction of the dis-
trict in which he is enrolled, or go beyond the limits
of the United States with intent to avoid any draft
into the military or the naval service, duly ordered,
shall be liable to the penalties of this section. And
the President is hereby authorized and required
forthwith, on the passage of this act, to issue his
proclamation setting forth the provisions of this sec-
tion, in which proclamation the President is requested
to notify all deserters returning within sixty days as
aforesaid, that they shall be pardoned on condition of
returning to their regiments and companies, or to such
other organizations as they may be assigned to, until
they shall have served for a period of time equal to
their original term of enlistment.
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, do issue
this my proclamation, as required by said act,
ordering and requiring all deserters to return
to their proper posts; and I do hereby notify
1865] Proclamation 53
them that all deserters who shall within sixty
days from the date of this proclamation — viz.,
on or before the tenth day of May, 1865 — re-
turn to service, or report themselves to a Provost
Marshal, shall be pardoned, on condition that
they return to their regiments and companies,
or to such other organizations as they may be
assigned to, and serve the remainder of their
original terms of enlistment, and, in addition
thereto, a period equal to the time lost by de-
sertion.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
eleventh day of March, in the year of

and sixty-five, and of the independence

Dear Mr. Weed: Every one likes a compli-
ment. Thank you for yours on my little notifi-
cation speech and on the recent inaugural ad-
dress. I expect the latter to wear as well as —
perhaps better than — anything I have produced;
but I believe it is not immediately popular.
Men are not flattered by being shown that there
has been a difference of purpose between the Al-
mighty and them. To deny it, however, in this
case, is to deny that there is a God governing the
world. It is a truth which I thought needed to
be told, and, as whatever of humiliation there is
in it falls most directly on myself, I thought
others might afford for me to tell it.
Truly yours, A. Lincoln.

Address to an Indiana Regiment, March
17, 1865
Fellow-citizens: A few words only. I was
born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana, reside in
Illinois, and now, here, it is my duty to care
equally for the good people of all the States. I
am to-day glad of seeing it in the power of an
Indiana regiment to present this captured flag
to the good governor of their State; and yet I
would not wish to compliment Indiana above
other States, remembering that all have done so
well.
There are but few aspects of this great war
on which I have not already expressed my views
by speaking or writing. There is one — the re-
cent effort of "our erring brethren," sometimes
so called, to employ the slaves in their armies.
The great question with them has been, "Will
the negro fight for them?" They ought to know
better than we, and doubtless do know better
than we. I may incidentally remark, that hav-
ing in my life heard many arguments — or strings
of words meant to pass for arguments — intended
56 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 17
to show that the negro ought to be a slave — if
he shall now really fight to keep himself a slave,
it will be a far better argument why he should
remain a slave than I have ever before heard.
He, perhaps, ought to be a slave if he desires it
ardently enough to fight for it. Or, if one out
of four will, for his own freedom, fight to keep
the other three in slavery, he ought to be a slave
for his selfish meanness. I have always thought
that all men should be free ; but if any should be
slaves, it should be first those who desire it for
themselves, and secondly those who desire it for
others. Whenever I hear any one arguing for
slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on
him personally.
There is one thing about the negro's fighting
for the rebels which we can know as well as they
can, and that is that they cannot at the same time
fight in their armies and stay at home and make
bread for them. And this being known and re-
membered, we can have but little concern
whether they become soldiers or not. I am
rather in favor of the measure, and would at any
time, if I could, have loaned them a vote to carry
it. We have to reach the bottom of the insur-
gent resources; and that they employ, or seri-
ously think of employing, the slaves as soldiers,
gives us glimpses of the bottom. Therefore I
am glad of what we learn on this subject.
1865] Proclamation 57
Proclamation concerning Indians, March
17, 1865
By the President of the United States of
America:
A Proclamation.
Whereas reliable information has been received
that hostile Indians, within the limits of the
United States, have been furnished with arms
and munitions of war by persons dwelling in con-
terminous foreign territory, and are thereby en-
abled to prosecute their savage warfare upon the
exposed and sparse settlements of the frontier;
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States of Amer-
ica, do hereby proclaim and direct that all per-
sons detected in that nefarious traffic shall be ar-
rested and tried by court-martial at the nearest
military post, and if convicted, shall receive the
punishment due to their deserts.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

Order Annulling the Sentence against

Smith, March 18, 1865
I am unwilling for the sentence to stand, and
be executed, to any extent in this case. In the
absence of a more adequate motive than the evi-
dence discloses, I am wholly unable to believe
in the existence of criminal or fraudulent intent
on the part of the men of such well established
good character. If the evidence went as far to
establish a guilty profit of one or two hundred
thousand dollars, as it does of one or two hun-
dred dollars, the case would, on the question of
guilt, bear a far different aspect. That on this
contract, involving some twelve hundred thou-
sand dollars, the contractors would plan, and at-
tempt to execute a fraud, which, at the most,
could profit them only one or two hundred, or
even one thousand dollars, is to my mind beyond
the power of rational belief. That they did not,
in such a case, make far greater gains, proves
that they did not, with guilty or fraudulent in-
tent, make at all. The judgment and sentence
are disapproved, and declared null, and the de-
fendants are fully discharged.

safe about 9 P. M. yesterday. No war news.
General Grant does not seem to know very much
about Yeatman, but thinks very well of him so
far as he does know.
I like Mr. Whiting very much, and hence
would wish him to remain or resign as best suits
himself. Hearing this much from me, do as
you think best in the matter. General Lee has
sent the Russell letter back, concluding, as I un-

Hon. Secretary of War: I begin to feel that
I ought to be at home and yet I dislike to leave
64 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 31
without seeing nearer to the end of General
Grant's present movement. He has now been
out since yesterday morning, and although he
has not been diverted from his programme, no
considerable effort has yet been produced so far
as we know here. Last night at 10.15 p. m.
when it was dark as a rainy night without a
moon could be, a furious cannonade, soon joined
in by a heavy musketry fire, opened near Peters-
burg and lasted about two hours. The sound
was very distinct here as also were the flashes of
the guns upon the clouds. It seemed to me a
great battle, but the older hands here scarcely
noticed it, and sure enough this morning it was
found that very little had been done.

Telegrams to Secretary Stanton
City Point, Va., March 31, 1865. 3 p.m.
Secretary Stanton: At 12.30 P.M. to-day
General Grant telegraphed me as follows:
There has been much hard fighting this morning.
The enemy drove our left from near Dabney's house
back well toward the Boydton plank road. We are
now about to take the offensive at that point, and I
hope will more than recover the lost ground.
Later he telegraphed again as follows:
Our troops, after being driven back to the Boydton
1865] Telegrams to Stanton 65
plank road, turned and drove the enemy in turn and
took the White Oak road, which we now have. This
gives us the ground occupied by the enemy this morn-
ing. I will send you a rebel flag captured by our
troops in driving the enemy back. There have been
four flags captured to-day.
Judging by the two points from which Gen-
eral Grant telegraphs, I infer that he moved his
headquarters about one mile since he sent the
first of the two despatches. A. LINCOLN.
City Point, April i, 1865. 12:50 p.m.
Hon. Secretary of War: I have had two dis-
patches from General Grant since my last to
you, but they contain little additional, except
that Sheridan also had pretty hot work yester-

heard from Sheridan.
Mrs. Lincoln has started home, and I will
thank you to see that our coachman is at the

Despatches are frequently coming in. All is
going on finely. Generals Parke, Wright, and

through the enemy's intrenched lines, taking
some forts, guns, and prisoners.
Sheridan, with his own cavalry, the Fifth

City Point, Va., April 2. 2 p. m.
At 10.45 A. M. General Grant telegraphs as
follows :
Everything has been carried from the left of the
Ninth Corps. The Sixth Corps alone captured more
than 3,000 prisoners. The Second and Twenty-
fourth Corps captured forts, guns, and prisoners from
the enemy, but I cannot tell the numbers. We are
now closing around the works of the line immediately
enveloping Petersburg. All looks remarkably well.
I have not yet heard from Sheridan. His headquar-
ters have been moved up to Banks's house, near the
Boydton road, about three miles southwest of Peters-
burg. A. Lincoln.

At 4.30 P. M. to-day General Grant telegraphs

We are now up and have a continuous line of
troops, and in a few hours will be intrenched from the
Appomattox below Petersburg to the river above.
The whole captures since the army started out will not
amount to less than 12,000 men, and probably fifty
pieces of artillery. I do not know the number of
men and guns accurately, however. A portion of
7o Abraham Lincoln [Apr. 3
Foster's Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, made a most
gallant charge this afternoon, and captured a very
important fort from the enemy, with its entire gar-

Unsigned Memorandum Given to J. A.
Campbell April 5, 1865.
As to peace, I have said before, and now
72 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. 5
repeat, that three things are indispensable:
1. The restoration of the national authority
throughout the United States.
2. No receding by the executive of the United
States on the slavery question from the position
assumed thereon in the late annual message,
and in preceding documents.
3. No cessation of hostilities short of an end
of the war, and the disbanding of all forces hos-
tile to the government. That all propositions
coming from those now in hostility to the gov-
ernment, not inconsistent with the foregoing,
will be respectfully considered and passed' upon
in a spirit of sincere liberality.
I now add that it seems useless for me to be
more specific with those who will not say that
they are ready for the indispensable terms, even
on conditions to be named by themselves. If
there be any who are ready for these indispensa-
ble terms, on any conditions whatever, let them
say so, and state their conditions, so that the
conditions can be known and considered. It is
further added, that the remission of confiscation
being within the executive power, if the war
be now further persisted in by those opposing the
government, the making of confiscated property
at the least to bear the additional cost will be
insisted on, but that confiscations (except in case
of third party intervening interests) will be re-
1865] Unsigned Memorandum 73
mitted to the people of any State which shall now
promptly and in good faith withdraw its troops
from further resistance to the government. What
is now said as to the remission of confiscation
has not reference to supposed property in slaves.

City Point, April 6, 1865. 12 M.
Lieutenant-General Grant, in the Field:
Secretary Seward was thrown from his car-
riage yesterday and seriously injured. This,
with other matters, will take me to Washing-
ton soon. I was at Richmond yesterday and
the day before, when and where Judge Camp-
bell, who was with Messrs. Hunter and Steph-
ens in February, called on me, and made such
representations as induced me to put in his hands
an informal paper, repeating the propositions in
my letter of instructions to Mr. Seward, which
74 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. 5
you remember, and adding that if the war be
now further persisted in by the rebels, confis-
cated property shall at the least bear the addi-
tional cost, and that confiscation shall be remit-
ted to the people of any State which will now
promptly and in good faith withdraw its troops
and other support from resistance to the govern-
ment.
Judge Campbell thought it not impossible that
the rebel legislature of Virginia would do the
latter if permitted; and accordingly I addressed
a private letter to General Weitzel, with per-
mission to Judge Campbell to see it, telling him
(General Weitzel) that if they attempt this, to
permit and protect them, unless they attempt
something hostile to the United States, in which
case to give them notice and time to leave, and
to arrest any remaining after such time.
I do not think it very probable that anything
will come of this, but I have thought best to no-
tify you so that if you should see signs you may
understand them.
From your recent despatches it seems that you
are pretty effectually withdrawing the Virginia
troops from opposition to the government.
Nothing that I have done, or probably shall do,
is to delay, hinder, or interfere with your work.
Yours truly,
A. Lincoln.

draw the Virginia troops and other support
from resistance to the General Government. If
they attempt it, give them permission and pro-
tection, until, if at all, they attempt some action
hostile to the United States, in which case you
will notify them, give them reasonable time to
leave, and at the end of which time arrest any
who remain. Allow Judge Campbell to see
this, but do not make it public.

the ports of the United States, in the States of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,

Beaufort, in the State of North Carolina ; Port
Royal, in the State of South Carolina; Pensa-

And, whereas by the fourth section of the act
of Congress, approved on the 13th of July, 1861,
entitled "An act further to provide for the col-
lection of duties on imports, and for other pur-
poses," the President, for the reasons therein set
forth, is authorized to close certain ports of en-
try;
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham

ship or vessel from beyond the United States, or
having on board any articles subject to duties,
shall attempt to enter any such ports, the same,
together with its tackle, apparel, furniture, and
cargo, shall be forfeited to the United States.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my

of the United States have been refused, in cer-
tain foreign ports, privileges and immunities to
which they were entitled by treaty, public law,
or the comity of nations, at the same time that
vessels of war of the country wherein the said
privileges and immunities have been withheld,
have enjoyed them fully and uninterruptedly in
ports of the United States, which condition of
things has not always been forcibly resisted by
the United States, although, on the other hand,
they have not at any time failed to protest
against and declare their dissatisfaction with the
same; [and whereas,] in the view of the United
States, no condition any longer exists which can
be claimed to justify the denial to them, by any
one of such nations, of customary naval rights,
as has heretofore been so unnecessarily persisted
in;
1865] Proclamation 83
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby make
known, that if, after a reasonable time shall^have
elapsed for intelligence of this proclamation to
have reached any foreign country in whose ports
the said privileges and immunities shall have
been refused, as aforesaid, they shall continue to
be so refused; then and thenceforth the same
privileges and immunities shall be refused to the
vessels of war of that country in the ports of the
United States, and this refusal shall continue
until war-vessels of the United States, shall have
been placed upon an entire equality in the for-
eign ports aforesaid with similar vessels of other
countries. The United States, whatever claim
or pretense may have existed heretofore, are
now, at least, entitled to claim and concede an
entire and friendly equality of rights and hos-
pitalities with all maritime nations.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this nth day
of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-five, and of the inde-
[l. S.] pendence of the United States of Amer-
ica the eighty-ninth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
By the President: WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Sec-
retary of State.
84 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. n
Last Public Address— April 11, 1865
WE meet this evening not in sorrow, but
in gladness of heart. The evac-
uation of Petersburg and Richmond,
and the surrender of the principal insurgent
army, give hope of a righteous and speedy peace,
whose joyous expression cannot be restrained.
In the midst of this, however, He from whom
all blessings flow must not be forgotten. A
call for a national thanksgiving is being pre-
pared, and will be duly promulgated. Nor
must those whose harder part give us the cause
of rejoicing be overlooked. Their honors must
not be parceled out with others. I myself was
near the front, and had the high pleasure of
transmitting much of the good news to you;
but no part of the honor for plan or execution
is mine. To General Grant, his skilful officers
and brave men, all belongs. The gallant navy
stood ready, but was not in reach to take active
part.
1 On April 9 Lee had surrendered. The principal theme of
this last public utterance is naturally reconstruction — that diffi-
cult process which, if Lincoln had lived to complete it, would
have been better and more speedily accomplished than it was
eventually.
1865] Last Public Address 85
By these recent successes the reinauguration
of the national authority — reconstruction —
which has had a large share of thought from the
first, is pressed much more closely upon our at-
tention. It is fraught with great difficulty.
Unlike a case of war between independent na-
tions, there is no authorized organ for us to treat
with — no one man has authority to give up the
rebellion for any other man. We simply must
begin with and mold from disorganized and dis-
cordant elements. Nor is it a small additional
embarrassment that we, the loyal people, differ
among ourselves as to the mode, manner, and
measure of reconstruction. As a general rule,
I abstain from reading the reports of attacks
upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that
to which I cannot properly offer an answer. In
spite of this precaution, however, it comes to my
knowledge that I am much censured for some
supposed agency in setting up and seeking to
sustain the new State government of Louis-
iana.
In this I have done just so much, and no more
than, the public knows. In the annual message
of December, 1863, anc* m ^e accompanying
proclamation, I presented a plan of reconstruc-
tion as the phrase goes, which I promised, if
adopted by any State, should be acceptable to
and sustained by the executive government of
86 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. u
the nation. I distinctly stated that this was not
the only plan which might possibly be accepta-
ble, and I also distinctly protested that the execu-
tive claimed no right to say when or whether
members should be admitted to seats in Congress
from such States. This plan was in advance
submitted to the then Cabinet, and distinctly ap-
proved by every member of it. One of them
suggested that I should then and in that connec-
tion apply the Emancipation Proclamation to
the theretofore excepted parts of Virginia and
Louisiana; that I should drop the suggestion
about apprenticeship for freed people, and that
I should omit the protest against my own power
in regard to the admission of members to Con-
gress. But even he approved every part and
parcel of the plan which has since been em-
ployed or touched by the action of Louisiana.
The new constitution of Louisiana, declaring
emancipation for the whole State, practically
applies the proclamation to the part previously
excepted. It does not adopt apprenticeship for
freed people, and it is silent, as it could not well
be otherwise, about the admission of members to
Congress. So that, as it applies to Louisiana,
every member of the Cabinet fully approved the
plan. The message went to Congress, and I re-
ceived many commendations of the plan, written
and verbal, and not a single objection to it from
1865] Last Public Address 87
any professed emancipationist came to my
knowledge until after the news reached Wash-
ington that the people of Louisiana had begun
to move in accordance with it. From about July,
1862, I had corresponded with different persons
supposed to be interested [in] seeking a recon-
struction of a State government for Louisiana.
When the message of 1863, with the plan before
mentioned, reached New Orleans, General
Banks wrote me that he was confident that the
people, with his military cooperation, would re-
construct substantially on that plan. I wrote to
him and some of them to try it. They tried it,
and the result is known. Such has been my only
agency in getting up the Louisiana government.
As to sustaining it, my promise is out, as be-
fore stated. But as bad promises are better bro-
ken than kept, I shall treat this as a bad promise,
and break it whenever I shall be convinced that
keeping it is adverse to the public interest; but
I have not yet been so convinced. I have been
shown a letter on this subject, supposed to be an
able one, in which the writer expresses regret
that my mind has not seemed to be definitely
fixed on the question whether the seceded States,
so called, are in the Union or out of it. It would
perhaps add astonishment to his regret were he
to learn that since I have found professed Union
men endeavoring to make that question, I have
88 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. n
purposely forborne any public expression upon
it. As appears to me, that question has not been,
nor yet is, a practically material one, and that
any discussion of it, while it thus remains prac-
tically immaterial, could have no effect other
than the mischievous one of dividing our friends.
As yet, whatever it may hereafter become, that
question is bad as the basis of a controversy,
and good for nothing at all — a merely pernicious
abstraction.
We all agree that the seceded States, so called,
are out of their proper practical relation with
the Union, and that the sole object of the govern-
ment, civil and military, in regard to those
States, is to again get them into that proper prac-
tical relation. I believe that it is not only pos-
sible, but in fact easier, to do this without de-
ciding or even considering whether these States
have ever been out of the Union, than with it.
Finding themselves safely at home, it would be
utterly immaterial whether they had ever been
abroad. Let us all join in doing the acts neces-
sary to restoring the proper practical relations
between these States and the Union, and each
forever after innocently indulge his own opinion
whether in doing the acts he brought the States
from without into the Union, or only gave them
proper assistance, they never having been out of
it. The amount of constituency, so to speak, on
1865] Last Public Address 89
which the new Louisiana government rests,
would be more satisfactory to all if it contained
50,000 or 30,000, or even 20,000, instead of only
about 12,000, as it does. It is also unsatisfac-
tory to some that the elective franchise is not
given to the colored man. I would myself pre-
fer that it were now conferred on the very intel-
ligent, and on those who serve our cause as sol-
diers.
Still, the question is not whether the Louisi-
ana government, as it stands, is quite all that is
desirable. The question is, will it be wiser to
take it as it is and help to improve it, or to reject
and disperse it? Can Louisiana be brought into
proper practical relation with the Union sooner
by sustaining or by discarding her new State
government? Some twelve thousand voters in
the heretofore slave State of Louisiana have
sworn allegiance to the Union, assumed to be the
rightful political power of the State, held elec-
tions, organized a State government, adopted a
free-State constitution, giving the benefit of pub-
lic schools equally to black and white, and em-
powering the legislature to confer the elective
franchise upon the colored man. Their legisla-
ture has already voted to ratify the constitutional
amendment recently passed by Congress, abolish-
ing slavery throughout the nation. These 12,-
000 persons are thus fully committed to the
90 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. n
Union and to perpetual freedom in the State —
committed to the very things, and nearly all the
things, the nation wants — and they ask the na-
tion's recognition and its assistance to make good
their committal.
Now, if we reject and spurn them, we do our
utmost to disorganize and disperse them. We,
in effect, say to the white man : You are worth-
less or worse; we will neither help you, nor be
helped by you. To the blacks we say: This cup
of liberty which these, your old masters, hold
to your lips we will dash from you, and leave
you to the chances of gathering the spilled and
scattered contents in some vague and undefined
when, where, and how. If this course, discour-
aging and paralyzing both white and black, has
any tendency to bring Louisiana into proper
practical relations with the Union, I have so far
been unable to perceive it. If, on the contrary,
we recognize and sustain the new government of
Louisiana, the converse of all this is made true.
We encourage the hearts and nerve the arms of
the 12,000 to adhere to their work, and argue for
it, and proselyte for it, and fight for it, and feed
it, and grow it, and ripen it to a complete suc-
cess. The colored man, too, in seeing all united
f©r him, is inspired with vigilance, and energy,
and daring, to the same end. Grant that he de-
sires the elective franchise, will he not attain it
1 865] Last Public Address 91
sooner by saving the already advanced steps
toward it than by running backward over them?
Concede that the new government of Louisiana
is only what it should be as the egg is to the
fowl, we shall sooner have the fowl by hatching
the egg than by smashing it.
Again, if we reject Louisiana we also reject
one vote in favor of the proposed amendment to
the national Constitution. To meet this propo-
sition it has been argued that no more than three-
fourths of those States which have not attempted
secession are necessary to validly ratify the
amendment. I do not commit myself against
this further than to say that such a ratification
would be questionable, and sure to be persistent-
ly questioned, while a ratification by three-
fourths of all the States would be unquestioned
and unquestionable. I repeat the question: Can
Louisiana be brought into proper practical re-
lation with the Union sooner by sustaining or by
discarding her new State government? What
has been said of Louisiana will apply generally
to other States. And yet so great peculiarities
pertain to each State, and such important and
sudden changes occur in the same State, and
withal so new and unprecedented is the whole
case that no exclusive and inflexible plan can
safely be prescribed as to details and collaterals.
Such exclusive and inflexible plan would surely
92 Abraham Lincoln [Apr. 12
become a new entanglement, Important prin-
ciples may and must be inflexible. In the pres-
ent situation, as the phrase goes, it may be my
duty to make some new announcement to the
people of the South. I am considering, and
shall not fail to act when satisfied that action
will be proper.
Telegrams to General G. Weitzel.
War Department, Washington, D. C.
April 12, 1865.
Major-General Weitzel, Richmond, Va.: I
have seen your despatch to Colonel Hardie about
the matter of prayers. I do not remember hear-
ing prayers spoken of while I was in Richmond;
but I have no doubt you have acted in what ap-
peared to you to be the spirit and temper mani-
fested by me while there. Is there any sign of
the rebel legislature coming together on the un-
derstanding of my letter to you? If there is any
such sign, inform me what it is; if there is no
such sign, you may withdraw the offer.
A. Lincoln.
Washington, D. C, April 12, 1865.
Major-General Weitzel, Richmond, Va.: I
have just seen Judge Campbell's letter to you of
the 7th. He assumes, as appears to me, that I have
called the insurgent legislature of Virginia to-
1865] Telegrams to Weitzel 93
gether, as the rightful legislature of the State,
to settle all differences with the United States.
I have done no such thing. I spoke of them,
not as a legislature, but as "the gentlemen who
have acted as the legislature of Virginia in sup-
port of the rebellion.'7 I did this on purpose
to exclude the assumption that I was recognizing
them as a rightful body. I dealt with them as
men having power de facto to do a specific thing,
to-wit: "To withdraw the Virginia troops and
other support from resistance to the General
Government," for which, in the paper handed
Judge Campbell, I promised a specific equiva-
lent, to-wit: a r -mission to the people of the
State, except in certain cases, of the confiscation
of their property. I meant this, and no more.
Inasmuch, however, as Judge Campbell miscon-
strues this, and is still pressing for an armistice,
contrary to the explicit statement of the paper
I gave him, and particularly as General Grant
has since captured the Virginia troops, so that
giving a consideration for their withdrawal is
no longer applicable, let my letter to you and
the paper to Judge Campbell both be with-
drawn, or countermanded, and he be notified
of it. Do not now allow them to assemble, but
if any have come, allow them safe return to
their homes.

^HE FOLLOWING letters and speeches
not included in the original Nicolay and
Hay edition of the " Works of Abraham
Lincoln " have come to light too late for
insertion in their regular places. The discovery of
much of this new matter, as well as much which is
included in the body of the work, is due to the co-
operation of numerous collectors: particularly to
those mentioned in the Preface, and to Mr. Gilbert
A. Tracy, of Putnam, Connecticut. In addition to
the new matter here given, a certain number of other
items have been discovered. Most of them have been
excluded because they merely duplicated much of the
text and some because they are of at least doubtful
origin. It is believed, however, that no important
authentic letter or speech of Lincoln has been omitted.
Reputed First Political Speech

Fellow-Citizens: I presume you all know
who I am. I am humble Abraham Lincoln.
I have been solicited by many friends to be-
come a candidate for the Legislature. My pol-
itics are short and sweet, like the old woman's
dance. I am in favor of a national bank. I
97

am in favor of the internal improvement sys-
tem, and a high protective tariff. These are
my sentiments and political principles. If
elected, I shall be thankful ; if not it will be all
the same.
Letter to John T. Stuart
Vandalia, February 14, 1839.
Dear Stuart: I have a note in bank which
falls due some time between the 20th and last
of this month. Butler stands as principal, and
I as security; but I am in reality the principal.
It will take between fifty and fifty-five dollars
to renew it. Butler has more than that much
money in his hands which he collected on a
debt of mine since I came away. I wish you to
call at the bank, have a note filled over my
name signed below, get Butler to sign it, and
also to let you have the money to renew it. Ew-
ing won't do anything. He is not worth a
damn. Your friend,
A. Lincoln.

you may send us. As to fees, it is impossible
to establish a rule that will apply in all, or
even a great many cases. We believe we are
never accused of being unreasonable in this par-
ticular; and we would always be easily satisfied,
provided we could see the money — but what-
ever fees we earn at a distance, if not paid be-
fore, we have noticed, we never hear of after
the work is done. We, therefore, are growing
a little sensitive on that point.
Yours truly,

Letter to C. B. Smith

Dear Sir: You remember my anxiety that
Dr. A. G. Henry of this place, should be ap-
pointed Register of the Land office at Minne-
sota.
Since I left Washington, I have heard noth-
ing of the matter. I suppose Mr. Evans of
Maine, and yourself are constantly together
now. I incline to believe he remembers me,
and would not hesitate to oblige me, when he
conveniently could.
Now I will do twice as much for both of you,
some time, if he and you will take some leisure
moment to call on Mr. Ewing, and, in as grace-
ful a way as possible, urge on him the appoint-
ioo Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 23

high hope that Mr. Ewing will appoint Henry,
if he does not forget my peculiar anxiety
about it.
Write me soon. Your friend as ever,

Letter to A. B. Moreau
Springfield, March 23, 1855.
Sir: Stranger though I am, personally, be-
ing a brother in the faith, I venture to write
to you. Yates can not come to your court next
week. He is obliged to be at Pike court
where he has a case, with a fee of five hundred
dollars, two hundred dollars already paid. To
neglect it would be unjust to himself, and dis-
honest to his client. Harris will be with you,
head up and tail up, for Nebraska. You must
have some one to make an anti-Nebraska
speech. Palmer is the best, if you can get him,
I think. Jo. Gillespie, if you cannot get Pal-
mer, and somebody anyhow, if you can get
neither. But press Palmer hard. It is in his
Senatorial district, I believe.
Yours truly, A. Lincoln.
Letter to O. H. Browning
Springfield, March 23, 1855.
My dear Sir: Your letter to Judge Logan
1855] Letter to Browning 101
has been shown to us by him; and, with his
consent, we answer it. When it became prob-
able that there would be a vacancy on the Su-
preme Bench, public opinion, on this side of
the river, seemed to be universally directed to
Logan as the proper man to fill it. I mean
public opinion on our side in politics, with very
small manifestation in any different direction
by the other side. The result is, that he has
been a good deal pressed to allow his name to
be used, and he has consented to it, provided
it can be done with perfect cordiality and good
feeling on the part of all our own friends.
We, the undersigned, are very anxious for it;
and the more so now that he has been urged,
until his mind is turned upon the matter. We,
therefore are very glad of your letter, with the
information it brings us, mixed only with a re-
gret that we can not elect Logan and Walker
both. We shall be glad, if you will hoist Lo-
gan's name, in your Quincy papers.
Very truly your friends,

My dear Sir: Your note containing election

news is received; and for which I thank you.
It is all of no use, however. Logan is worse
beaten than any other man ever was since elec-
tions were invented, beaten more than 1200 in
this county.
It is conceded on all hands that the Prohibi-
tory law is also beaten. Yours truly,
A. Lincoln.
Letter to Henry C. Whitney
Springfield, December 18, 1857.
My dear Sir: Coming home from Bloom-
ington last night I found your letter of the 15th.
I know of no express statute or decisions as
to what a J. P. upon the expiration of his term
shall do with his docket books, papers, unfin-
ished business, &c, but so far as I know, the
practice has been to hand over to the successor,
and to cease to do anything further whatever,
in perfect analogy to See's no and 112 —
and I have supposed and do suppose this is the
law. I think the successor may forthwith do,
whatever the retiring J. P. might have done.
As to the proviso to Sec. 114 I think it was
put in to cover possible cases, by way of cau-
tion, and not to authorize the J. P. to go for-
ward and finish up whatever might have been
begun by him.
The view I take I believe is the common law
1857] Letter to Whitney 103
principle as to retiring officers and their suc-
cessors, to which I remember but one excep-
tion, which is the case of sheriffs and minis-
terial officers of that class. I have not had time
to examine this subject fully, but I have great
confidence I am right.
You must not think of offering me pay for
this.
Mr. John O. Johnson is my friend; I gave
your name to him. He is doing the work of
trying to get up a Republican organization. I
do not suppose "Long John" ever saw or heard
of him. Let me say to you confidentially, that
I do not entirely appreciate what the Republi-
can papers of Chicago are so constantly saying
against "Long John." I consider those papers
truly devoted to the Republican cause, and not
unfriendly to me; but I do think that more of
what they say against "Long John" is dictated
by personal malice than themselves are con-
scious of. We can not afford to lose the serv-
ices of "Long John" and I do believe the un-
relenting warfare made upon him is injuring
our cause. I mean this to be confidential.
If you quietly co-operate with Mr. J. O.
Johnson in getting up an organization, I think
it will be right.
Your friend as ever,
A. Lincoln.

Letter to Mark Carley
Springfield, February 25, 1858.
My dear Sir: Your letter of the 20th was
duly received. I have had a full talk on the
subject, with the Governor to-day. He will
not issue the commission. He says he is sorry
for it; but as the question has been made, he can
do no other than decide it as he thinks is right.
His argument, in short, is this: As you state
the facts yourself, he thinks you had no legal
residence in the precinct when you were
elected ; clearly you were not entitled to vote in
the precinct, and therefore he thinks you could
not be lawfully voted for in it. He asks "Can
you not move your residence into the precinct,
and be elected again?"
Yours very truly,
A. Lincoln.

out faith that a lie can be successfully contra-
dicted. There is not a word of truth in the
charge, and I am just considering a little as to

the best shape to put a contradiction in. Show
this to whomever you please, but do not publish
it in the papers. Your friend as ever,

Fragment of Speech at Paris, Illinois. Sep-
tember 8, 1858
Let us inquire what Judge Douglas really
invented when he introduced the Nebraska
Bill. He called it popular sovereignty. What
does that mean? It means the sovereignty of
the people over their own affairs — in other
words, the right of the people to govern them-
selves. Did Judge Douglas invent this? Not
quite. The idea of popular sovereignty was
floating about several ages before the author of
the Nebraska Bill was born — indeed, before
Columbus set foot on this continent. In the
year 1776 it took form in the noble words which
you are all familiar with: "We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are cre-
ated equal," etc. Was not this the origin of
popular sovereignty as applied to the American
people? Here we are told that governments
are instituted among men deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed. If
that is not popular sovereignty, then I have no
conception of the meaning of words. If Judge
Douglas did not invent this kind of popular
106 Abraham Lincoln [Sept. 13
sovereignty, let us pursue the inquiry and find
out what kind he did invent. Was it the right
of emigrants to Kansas and Nebraska to govern
themselves, and a lot of "niggers," too, if they
wanted them? Clearly this was no invention
of his, because General Cass put forth the same
doctrine in 1848 in his so-called Nicholson let-
ter, six years before Douglas thought of such
a thing. Then what was it that the "Little
Giant" invented? It never occurred to Gen-
eral Cass to call his discovery by the odd name
of popular sovereignty. He had not the face
to say that the right of the people to govern
"niggers" was the right of the people to govern
themselves. His notions of the fitness of things
were not moulded to the brazenness of calling
the right to put a hundred "niggers" through
under the lash in Nebraska a "sacred" right of
self-government. And here I submit to you
was Judge Douglas's discovery, and the whole
of it: He discovered that the right to breed
and flog negroes in Nebraska was popular sov-
ereignty.
Fragment of Speech at Edwardsville, Illi-
nois, September 13, 1858
I have been requested to give a concise state-
ment of the difference, as I understand it, be-
tween the Democratic and Republican parties,
1858] Speech at Edwardsville 107
on the leading issue of the campaign. This
question has been put to me by a gentleman
whom I do not know. I do not even know
whether he is a friend of mine or a supporter
of Judge Douglas in this contest, nor does that
make any difference. His question is a proper
one. Lest I should forget it, I will give you my
answer before proceeding with the line of argu-
ment I have marked out for this discussion.
The difference between the Republican and
the Democratic parties on the leading issues of
the contest, as I understand it, is that the for-
mer consider slavery a moral, social and politi-
cal wrong, while the latter do not consider it
either a moral, a social or a political wrong;
and the action of each, as respects the growth
of the country and the expansion of our popu-
lation, is squared to meet these views. I will
not affirm that the Democratic party consider
slavery morally, socially and politically right,
though their tendency to that view has, in my
opinion, been constant and unmistakable for the
past five years. I prefer to take, as the ac-
cepted maxim of the party, the idea put forth
by Judge Douglas, that he "don't care whether
slavery is voted down or voted up." I am quite
willing to believe that many Democrats would
prefer that slavery should be always voted
down, and I know that some prefer that it be
108 Abraham Lincoln [Sept. 13
always "voted up"; but I have a right to in-
sist that their action, especially if it be their
constant action, shall determine their ideas and
preferences on this subject. Every measure of
the Democratic party of late years, bearing di-
rectly or indirectly on the slavery question, has
corresponded with this notion of utter indiffer-
ence whether slavery or freedom shall outrun
in the race of empire across to the Pacific —
every measure, I say, up to the Dred Scott de-
cision, where, it seems to me, the idea is boldly
suggested that slavery is better than freedom.
The Republican party, on the contrary, hold
that this government was instituted to secure
the blessings of freedom, and that slavery is an
unqualified evil to the negro, to the white man,
to the soil, and to the State. Regarding it as
an evil, they will not molest it in the States
where it exists, they will not overlook the con-
stitutional guards which our fathers placed
around it; they will do nothing that can give
proper offence to those who hold slaves by legal
sanction; but they will use every constitutional
method to prevent the evil from becoming
larger and involving more negroes, more white
men, more soil, and more States in its deplor-
able consequences. They will, if possible,
place it where the public mind shall rest in
the belief that it is in course of ultimate peace-
1858] Speech at Edwardsville 109
able extinction in God's own good time. And
to this end they will, if possible, restore the
government to the policy of the fathers— -the
policy of preserving the new Territories from
the baneful influence of human bondage, as the
Northwestern Territories were sought to be pre-
served by the Ordinance of 1787, and the Com-
promise Act of 1820. They will oppose, in all
its length and breadth, the modern Democratic
idea, that slavery is as good as freedom, and
ought to have room for expansion all over
the continent, if people can be found to carry
it. All, or nearly all, of Judge Douglas's ar-
guments are logical, if you admit that slavery
is as good and as right as freedom, and not one
of them is worth a rush if you deny it. This
is the difference, as I understand it, between
the Republican and Democratic parties.
My friends, I have endeavored to show
you the logical consequences of the Dred Scott
decision, which holds that the people of a
Territory cannot prevent the establishment of
slavery in their midst. I have stated, which
cannot be gainsaid, that the grounds upon which
this decision is made are equally applicable to
the free States as to the free Territories, and
that the peculiar reasons put forth by Judge
Douglas for indorsing this decision commit
no Abraham Lincoln [Sept. 13
him, in advance, to the next decision and to all
other decisions coming from the same source.
And when, by all these means, you have suc-
ceeded in dehumanizing the negro; when you
have put him down and made it impossible for
him to be but as the beasts of the field; when
you have extinguished his soul in this world
and placed him where the ray of hope is blown
out as in the darkness of the damned, are you
quite sure that the demon you have roused will
not turn and rend you? What constitutes the
bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling
sea coasts, our army and our navy. These are
not our reliance against tyranny. All of those
may be turned against us without making us
weaker for the struggle. Our reliance is in the
love of liberty which God has planted in us.
Our defence is in the spirit which prized lib-
erty as the heritage of all men, in all lands
everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have
planted the seeds of despotism at your own
doors. Familiarize yourselves with the chains
of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to
wear them. Accustomed to trample on the
rights of others, you have lost the genius of
your own independence and become the fit sub-
jects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among
you. And let me tell you, that all these things
1858] Speech at Edwardsville in
are prepared for you by the teachings of his-
tory, if the elections shall promise that the next
Dred Scott decision and all future decisions will
be quietly acquiesced in by the people.
Letter to Dr. C. H. Ray
Springfield, November 20, 1858.
My dear Sir: I wish to preserve a set of
the last debates (if they may be called so), be-
tween Douglas and myself. To enable me to
do so, please get two copies of each number of
your paper containing the whole, and send them
to me by express; and I will pay you for the
papers and for your trouble. I wish the two
sets in order to lay one away in the [illegible
word] and to put the other in a scrap-book.
Remember if part of any debate is on both sides
of the sheet it will take two sets to make one
scrap-book.
I believe, according to a letter of yours to
Hatch, you are "feeling like hell yet." Quit
that. You will soon feel better. Another
"blow up" is coming; and we shall have fun
again. Douglas managed to be supported both
as the best instrument to put down and to up-
hold the slave power; but no ingenuity can
long keep the antagonism in harmony.
Yours as ever,
A. Lincoln.

Letter to Henry C. Whitney
Springfield, November 30, 1858.
My dear Sir: Being desirous of preserving
in some permanent form the late joint discus-
sions between Douglas and myself, ten days
ago I wrote to Dr. Ray, requesting him to for-
ward to me, by express, two sets of the num-
bers of the Tribune, which contain the reports
of those discussions. Up to date I have no
word from him on the subject. Will you, if
in your power, procure them and forward them
to me by Express? If you will, I will pay all
charges, and be greatly obliged to boot. Hop-
ing to meet you before long I remain,
As ever your friend, A. LINCOLN.
Notes of an Argument
December (?), 1858.
Legislation and adjudication must follow and
conform to the progress of society.
The progress of society now begins to produce
cases of the transfer for debts of the entire prop-
erty of railroad corporations; and to enable
transferees to use and enjoy the transferred prop-
erty, legislation and adjudication begin to be
necessary.
Shall this class of legislation just now begin-
ning with us be general or special?
1858] Notes of an Argument 113
Section Ten of our Constitution requires that
it should be general, if possible. (Read the
section.)
Special legislation always trenches upon the
judicial department; and in so far violates Sec-
tion Two of the Constitution. (Read it.)
Just reasoning — policy — is in favor of general
legislation — else the Legislature will be loaded
down with the investigation of smaller cases —
work which the courts ought to perform, and
can perform much more perfectly. How can
the Legislature rightly decide the facts between
P. & B. and S. C. & Co.
It is said that under a general law, when-
ever a R. R. Co. gets tired of its debts, it may
transfer fraudulently to get rid of them. So
they may — so may individuals ; and which — the
Legislature or the Courts — is best suited to try
the question of fraud in either case?
It is said, if a purchaser has acquired legal
rights, let him not be robbed of them, but if he
needs legislation let him submit to just terms to
obtain it.
Let him, say we, have general law in advance
(guarded in every possible way against fraud),
so that, when he acquires a legal right, he will
have no occasion to wait for additional legisla-
tion; and if he has practised fraud let the courts
so decide.

Letter to James T. Thornton
Springfield, December 2, 1858.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 29th written in be-
half of Mr. John H. Widner, is received. I
am absent altogether too much to be a suitable
instructor for a law student. When a man has
reached the age that Mr. Widner has, and has
already been doing for himself, my judgment
is, that he reads the books for himself without
an instructor. That is precisely the way I came
to the law. Let Mr. Widner read Blackstone's
Commentaries, Chitty's Pleadings, Greenleaf's
Evidence, Story's Equity, and Story's Equity
Pleadings, get a license, and go to the practice,
and still keep reading. That is my judgment
of the cheapest, quickest, and best way for Mr.
Widner to make a lawyer of himself.
Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
Letter to Henry C. Whitney
Springfield, December 25, 1858.
My dear Sir: I have just received yours of
the 23, inquiring whether I received the news-
papers you sent me by Express. I did receive
them, and am very much obliged. There is
some probability that my Scrap-book will be
reprinted; and if it shall I will save you a copy.
Your friend as ever, A. Lincoln.
1859} Speech at Leavenworth 115
Fragment of Speech at Leavenworth, Kan-
sas, December, 1859
But you Democrats are for the Union; and
you greatly fear the success of the Republicans
would destroy the Union. Why? Do the Re-
publicans declare against the Union? Nothing
like it. Your own .statement of it is that if the
Black Republicans elect a President, you
"won't stand it." You will break up the Union.
If we shall constitutionally elect a President, it
will be our duty to see that you submit. Old
John Brown has been executed for treason
against a State. We cannot object, even though
he agreed with us in thinking slavery wrong.
That cannot excuse violence, bloodshed and
treason. It could avail him nothing that he
might think himself right. So, if we constitu-
tionally elect a President, and therefore you
undertake to destroy the Union, it will be our
duty to deal with you as old John Brown has
been dealt with. We shall try to do our duty.
We hope and believe that in no section will a
majority so act as to render such extreme meas-
ures necessary.
Memorandum, December 22, (?) i860
Resolved:
That the fugitive slave clause of the Con-
n6 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 5
stitution ought to be enforced by a law of
Congress, with efficient provisions for that ob-
ject, not obliging private persons to assist in its
execution, and with the usual safeguards to lib-
erty, securing free men against being surren-
dered as slaves.
That all State laws, if there be such, really
or apparently in conflict with such law of Con-
gress, ought to be repealed; and no opposition
to the execution of such law of Congress ought
to be made.
That the Federal Union must be preserved.

Reply to the Pennsylvania Delegation,
Washington, March 5, 1861
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Penn-
sylvania Delegation: As I have so frequently
said heretofore, when I have had occasion to
address the people of the Keystone, in my visits
to that State, I can now but repeat the assurance
of my gratification at the support you gave me
at the election, and at the promise of a continua-
i860 Reply to Delegation 117
tion of that support which is now tendered to
me.
Allusion has been made to the hope that you
entertain that you have a President and a gov-
ernment. In respect to that I wish to say
to you that in the position I have assumed I
wish to do more than I have ever given reason
to believe I would do. I do not wish you to
believe that I assume to be any better than oth-
ers who have gone before me. I prefer rather
to have it understood that if we ever have a
government on the principles we profess, we
should remember, while we exercise our opin-
ion, that others have also rights to the exercise
of their opinions, and that we should endeavor
to allow these rights, and act in such a manner
as to create no bad feeling. I hope we have a
government and a President. I hope, and wish
it to be understood, that there may be no allusion
to unpleasant differences.
We must remember that the people of all the
States are entitled to all the privileges and im-
munities of the citizens of the several States.
We should bear this in mind, and act in such
a way as to say nothing insulting or irritating.
I would inculcate this idea, so that we may not,
like Pharisees, set ourselves up to be better than
other people.
Now, my friends, my public duties are press-
u8 Abraham Lincoln [Mar. 5
ing to-day, and will prevent my giving more
time to you. Indeed, I should not have left
them until now, but I could not well deny my-
self to so large and respectable a body.
Reply to the Massachusetts Delegation,
Washington, March 5, 1861
I am thankful for this renewed assurance of
kind feeling and confidence, and the support
of the old Bay State, in so far as you, Mr.
Chairman, have expressed, in behalf of those
whom you represent, your sanction of what I
have enunciated in my inaugural address. This
is very grateful to my feelings. The object was
one of great delicacy, in presenting views at the
opening of an administration under the pecul-
iar circumstances attending my entrance upon
the official duties connected with the Govern-
ment. I studied all the points with great anx-
iety, and presented them with whatever of
ability and sense of justice I could bring to
bear. If it met the approbation of our good
friends in Massachusetts, I shall be exceedingly
gratified, while I hope it will meet the appro-
bation of friends everywhere. I am thankful
for the expressions of those who have voted with
us ; and like every other man of you, I like them
as certainly as I do others. As the President
in the administration of the Government, I hope
1861] Reply to Delegation 119
to be man enough not to know one citizen of
the United States from another, nor one section
from another. I shall be gratified to have good
friends of Massachusetts and others who have
thus far supported me in these national views
still to support me in carrying them out.
Letter to Jacob Collamer

The reply to this letter, with Lincoln's in-
dorsement of that reply, is as follows:

Dear Sir : I am entirely unconscious that you have
any way offended me. I cherish no sentiment to-

Letter to Governor Walker
Washington, November 21, 1861.
Dear Governor: I have thought over the in-
terview which Mr. Gilmore has had with Mr.
Greeley, and the proposal that Greeley has
made to Gilmore, namely, that he (Gilmore)
shall communicate to him (Greeley) all that he
iThe boy's companions refused to believe his statement. He
wrote for a confirmation and received the above reply.
1861] Letter to Walker 121
learns from you of the inner workings of the
administration, in return for his (Greeley's)
giving such aid as he can to the new magazine,
and allowing you (Walker) from time to time
the use of his (Greeley's) columns when it is
desirable to feel of, or forestall, public opinion
on important subjects. The arrangement meets
my unqualified approval, and I shall further it
to the extent of my ability, by opening to you —
as I do now — fully the policy of the Govern-
ment,— its present views and future intentions
when formed, — giving you permission to com-
municate them to Gilmore for Greeley; and in
case you go to Europe I will give these things
direct to Gilmore. But all this must be on the
express and explicit understanding that the fact
of these communications coming from me shall
be absolutely confidential, — not to be disclosed
by Greeley to his nearest friend, or any of his
subordinates. He will be, in effect, my mouth-
piece, but I shall not be known to be the
speaker.
I need not tell you that I have the highest
confidence in Mr. Greeley. He is a great
power. Having him firmly behind me will be
as helpful to me as an army of one hundred
thousand men. That he has ever kicked the
traces has been owing to his not being fully in-
formed. Tell Gilmore to say to him that, if
122 Abraham Lincoln [June 2s
he ever objects to my policy, I shall be glad to
have him state to me his views frankly and
fully. I shall adopt his if I can. If I cannot,
I will at least tell him why. He and I should
stand together, and let no minor differences
come between us; for we both seek one end,
which is the saving of our country. Now, Gov-
ernor, this is a longer letter than I have written
in a month, — longer than I would have written
for any other man than Horace Greeley.
Your friend, truly,
Abraham Lincoln.
P. S. — The sooner Gilmore sees Greeley the
better, as you may before long think it wise to
ventilate our policy on the Trent affair.

Message to the Senate, June 23, 1862
To the Senate of the United States: The bill
which has passed the House of Representatives
and the Senate, entitled "An act to repeal that
part of an act of Congress which prohibits the
circulation of bank-notes of a less denomination
1 862] Message to Senate 123
than five dollars in the District of Columbia,"
has received my attentive consideration, and I
now return it to the Senate, in which it origi-
nated, with the following objections.
1. The bill proposes to repeal the existing
legislation prohibiting the circulation of bank-
notes of a less denomination than five dollars
within the District of Columbia, without per-
mitting the issuing of such bills by banks not
now legally authorized to issue them. In my
judgment, it will be found impracticable, in the
present condition of the currency, to make such
a discrimination. The banks have generally
suspended specie payments, and a legal sanction
given to the circulation of the irredeemable
notes of one class of them will almost certainly
be so extended, in practical operation, as to in-
clude those of all classes, whether authorized or
unauthorized. If this view be correct, the cur-
rency of the District, should this act become a
law, will certainly and greatly deteriorate, to
the serious injury of honest trade and honest
labor.
2. This bill seems to contemplate no end
which cannot be otherwise more certainly and
beneficially attained. During the existing war
it is peculiarly the duty of the National Gov-
ernment to secure to the people a sound circu-
lating medium. This duty has been, under ex-
124 Abraham Lincoln [Oct. 4
isting circumstances, satisfactorily performed,
in part at least, by authorizing the issue of Uni-
ted States notes, receivable for all government
dues except customs, and made a legal tender
for all debts, public and private, except interest
on public debt. The object of the bill sub-
mitted to me — namely, that of providing a small
note currency during the present suspension —
can be fully accomplished by authorizing the
issue as part of any new emission of United
States notes made necessary by the circumstances
of the country, of notes of a similar character,
but of less denomination than five dollars.
Such an issue would answer all the beneficial
purposes of the bill, would save a considerable
amount to the treasury in interest, would greatly
facilitate payments to soldiers and other cred-
itors of small sums, and would furnish to the
people a currency as safe as their own govern-
ment.
Entertaining these objections to the bill, I
feel myself constrained to withhold from it my
approval, and return it for the further consid-
eration and action of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln.
Remarks at Frederick, Maryland, October
4, 1862
In my present position it is hardly proper for
1862] Remarks at Frederick I25
me to make speeches. Every word is so closely
noted that it will not do to make foolish ones,
and I cannot be expected to be prepared to make
sensible ones. If I were as I have been for
most of my life, I might, perhaps, talk non-
sense to you for half an hour, and it wouldn't
hurt anybody. As it is, I can only return thanks
for the compliment paid our cause. Please ac-
cept my sincere thanks for the compliment to
our country.
I see myself surrounded by soldiers and by cit-
izens of this good city of Frederick, all anxious
to hear something from me. Nevertheless, I
can only say — as I did elsewhere five minutes ago
— that it is not proper for me to make a speech
in my present position. I return thanks to our
gallant soldiers for the good service they have
rendered, the energies they have shown, the
hardships they have endured, and the blood they
have so nobly shed for this dear Union of ours,
and I also return thanks, not only to the soldiers,
but to the good citizens of Frederick and to all
the good men, women and children throughout
the land for their devotion to our glorious cause,
and I say this without any malice in my heart
towards those who have done otherwise. May
our children and our children's children for a
thousand generations continue to enjoy the bene-
ii26 Abraham Lincoln CN°v. 15
fits conferred upon us by a united country, and
have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious
institutions bequeathed us by Washington and
his compeers! Now, my friends — soldiers and
citizens — 1 can only say once more, Farewell.
General Order Respecting the Observance
of the Sabbath Day in the Army and
Navy.
Executive Mansion, November 15, 1862.
The President, Commander-in-Chief of the
Army and Navy, desires and enjoins the orderly
observance of the Sabbath by the officers and
men in the military and naval service. The im-
portance for man and beast of the prescribed
weekly rest, the sacred rights of Christian sol-
diers and sailors, a becoming deference to the
best sentiment of a Christian people, and a due
regard for the divine will demand that Sunday
labor in the army and navy be reduced to the
measure of strict necessity.
The discipline and character of the national
forces should not suffer nor the cause they de-
fend be imperilled by the profanation of the
day or name of the Most High. "At this time
of public distress" adopting the words of Wash-
ington in 1776, "men may find enough to do in
the service of God and their country without
abandoning themselves to vice and immorality."
1862 J General Order 127
The first general order issued by the Father of
his Country after the Declaration of Independ-
ence indicates the spirit in which our institu-
tions were founded and should ever be de-
fended:
" The General hopes and trusts that every officer
and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a
Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and
liberties of his country.,,

Order Regarding Contraband Trade.
Executive Mansion, July 25, 1863.
Hon. Secretary of the Navy .
Sir: Certain matters have come to my notice,
and considered by me, which induce me to be-
lieve that it will conduce to the public interest
for you to add to the general instructions given
to our naval commanders in relation to contra-
band trade propositions substantially as follows,
to wit:
First, You will avoid the reality, and as far
as possible the appearance, of using any neutral
port to watch neutral vessels and then to dart
out and seize them on their departure.
Note. Complaint is made that this has been
practised at the port of St. Thomas, which prac-
tice, if it exists, is disapproved and must cease.
Second. You will not in any case detain the
128 Abraham Lincoln [Jan. 2
crew of a captured neutral vessel or any other
subject of a neutral power, on board such vessel,
as prisoners of war or otherwise, except the small
number necessary as witnesses in the prize court.
Note. The practice here forbidden is also
charged to exist, which, if true, is disapproved
and must cease.
My dear sir, it is not intended to be insinuated
that you have been remiss in the performance
of the arduous and responsible duties of your
department which, I take pleasure in affirming,
has in your hands been conducted with admira-
ble success. Yet, while your subordinates are
almost of necessity brought into angry collision
with the subjects of foreign states, the represen-
tatives of those states and yourself do not come
into immediate contact for the purpose of keep-
ing the peace, in spite of such collisions. At
that point there is an ultimate and heavy respon-
sibility upon me.
What I propose is in strict accordance with
international law, and is therefore unobjection-
able; whilst, if it does no other good, it will
contribute to sustain a considerable portion of
the present British ministry in their places, who,
if displaced, are sure to be replaced by others
more unfavorable to us.
Your obedient servant,
Abraham Lincoln.
1864] Telegram to Butler 129
Telegram to John Williams and N. G.
Taylor
War Department, October 17, 1863.
You do not estimate the holding of East Ten-
nessee more highly than I do. There is no ab-
solute purpose of withdrawing our forces from
it, and only a contingent one to withdraw them
temporarily for the purpose of not losing the
position permanently. I am in great hope of
not finding it necessary to withdraw them at all,
particularly if you raise new troops rapidly for
us there. A. Lincoln.
Telegram to Major-General Butler
Washington, January 2, 1864.
Sir: The Secretary of War and myself have
concluded to discharge of the prisoners at Point
Lookout the following classes : First, those who
will take the oath prescribed in the proclama-
tion of December 8, and issued by the consent of
General Marston, will enlist in our service.
Second, those who will take the oath and be dis-
charged and whose homes lie safely within our
military lines. I send by Mr. Hay this letter
and a blank-book and some other blanks, the
way of using which I propose for him to ex-
plain verbally better than I can in writing.
Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.
130 Abraham Lincoln [jan.-Feb.
Extract from Letter to General James
Wadsworth, Given by F. B. Carpenter
[Late January or early February, 1864]
You desire to know, in the event of our com-
plete success in the field, the same being fol-
lowed by a loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty
should not be accompanied with universal suf-
frage.
Now, since you know my private inclinations
as to what terms should be granted to the South
in the contingency mentioned, I will here add,
that if our success should thus be realized, fol-
lowed by such desired results, I cannot see, if
universal amnesty is granted, how, under the
circumstances, I can avoid exacting in return
universal suffrage or at least suffrage on the
basis of intelligence and military service.
How to better the condition of the colored
race has long been a study which has attracted
my serious and careful attention ; hence I think
I am clear and decided as to what course I shall
pursue in the premises, regarding it a religious
duty, as the nation's guardian of these people
who have so heroically vindicated their man-
hood on the battle-field, where, in assisting to
save the life of the Republic, they have demon-
strated in blood their right to the ballot, which
1864] Letter to Wadsworth 131
is but the humane protection of the flag they
have so fearlessly defended.
(In an article in Scribner's Magazine for Jan-
uary, 1893, by the Marquis de Chambrun, the
above letter contains this paragraph) :
The restoration of the Rebel States to the
Union must rest upon the principle of civil and
political equality of both races; and it must be
sealed by general amnesty.
Memorandum Concerning the Transporta-
tion of the New York Naval Brigade
Washington, May 26, 1864.
Whom it may Concern: I am again pressed
with the claim of Mr. Marshall O. Roberts, for
transportation of what was called the Naval
Brigade from New York to Fortress Monroe.
This force was a special organization got up by
one Bartlett, in pretended pursuance of written
authority from me, but in fact, pursuing the au-
thority in scarcely anything whatever. The
credit given him by Mr. Roberts, was given in
the teeth of the express declaration that the Gov-
ernment would not be responsible for the class
of expenses to which it belonged. After all
some part of the transportation became useful to
the Government, and equitably should be paid
for; but I have neither time nor means to ascer-
132 Abraham Lincoln fDec- 3
tain this equitable amount, or any appropriation
to pay it with if ascertained. If the Quarter-
master at New York can ascertain what would
compensate for so much of the transportation
as did result usefully to the Government it might
be a step toward reaching justice. I write this
from memory, but I believe it substantially cor-
rect. A. Lincoln.
Address to the Envoy from the Hawaiian
Islands, June n, 1864
Sir: In every light in which the state of the
Hawaiian Islands can be contemplated, it is an
object of profound interest for the United States.
Virtually it was once a colony. It is a haven
of shelter and refreshment for our merchants,
fishermen, seamen, and other citizens, when on
their lawful occasions they are navigating the
eastern seas and oceans. Its people are free,
and its laws, language, and religion are largely
the fruit of our own teaching and example.
The distinguished part which you, Mr. Minis-
ter, have acted in the history of that interesting
country, is well known here. It gives me pleas-
ure to assure you of my sincere desire to do
what I can to render now your sojourn in the
United States agreeable to yourself, satisfactory
to your sovereign, and beneficial to the Ha-
waiian people.
1864] Order Concerning Steamer 133
Order Concerning the Steamer "Funayma
Solace"
Executive Mansion, December 3, 1864.
A war steamer called the Funayma Solace,
having been built in this country, for the Japan-
ese government and at the instance of that gov-
ernment, it is deemed to comport with the pub-
lic interest, in view of the unsettled condition of
the relations of the United States with that Em-
pire, that the steamer should not be allowed to
proceed to Japan. If, however, the Secretary
of the Navy should ascertain that the steamer
is adapted to our service, he is authorized to
purchase her, but the purchase money will be
held in trust toward satisfying any valid claims
which may be presented by the Japanese on ac-
count of the construction of the steamer and the
failure to deliver the same, as above set forth.

Preface
1
"^HE following bibliography is a revision
and enlargement of the catalogue
issued under my supervision in 1900,
entitled "Lincoln Literature." As expected,
and of course desired, the circulation of that
tentative list drew from their hiding-places many
omitted items, more than a hundred such being
now added. These, with the large number since
published, swell the total to upward of a thou-
sand, not counting reprints or successive editions.
The intended scope of the work should be
accurately noted, for it is limited to a definite
purpose:
Printed books and pamphlets only are em-
braced, construing the latter term broadly.
Single-page prints of all sorts and unimportant
leaflets, myriads of which were issued and have
disappeared, are omitted. Such of these as are
still extant shed no appreciable light on the life
which evoked them and would only encumber
the list without compensating advantage.
Only such books and brochures are included
as relate distinctively to the principal subject.
Prints devoted in part to Lincoln but treating
137
138 Abraham Lincoln
also of other topics are not within the plan,
though a few, wherein the former matter largely
predominates, are retained. To specify all
which deal to any extent with the great central
figure of the civil conflict would be to enroll
substantially the entire literary product of his
time.
Periodical matter not reprinted, unless the
particular issue was devoted wholly to Lincoln,
is excluded. This is a wide and fruitful field
of research, but one to be separately treated un-
der a different method.
The merely political writings of the period
have been sifted with a view to retaining such
books and pamphlets only as may fairly be said
to owe their origin to the man. They are very
numerous, but obviously most of them would
have appeared in similar form had another than
Lincoln been President. To include all, there-
fore, would be aside from the purposes of a
Lincoln bibliography, while the exclusion of all
would be equally improper. The line is not
easily marked, yet to attempt it was imperative.
All separately printed utterances of Lincoln are
of course meant to be listed; likewise all com-
munications in terms addressed to him. Ordi-
nary partisan discussions, unless chiefly aimed at
personal attack or defence, are omitted. In
illustration, however, of the enormous adminis-
Bibliography 139
trative difficulties with which the President had
to deal, and so of his statesmanship and charac-
ter, some pamphlets are retained which set forth
conflicting views of the larger questions of ex-
ecutive policy — political arrests, the habeas cor-
pus, emancipation, and the like. The proceed-
ings of political conventions in which Lincoln
figured as a candidate are noted; and, as an in-
teresting reflection of contemporary feeling, the
song-books which contributed to his elections.
Publications devoted to the assassination, to
the arrest and trial of the conspirators, and to
discussions of their guilt and punishment are in-
cluded. As to all else, the reasons for insertion
will be apparent and it remains only to add that
a few titles in the first edition have been dropped
as not within the prescribed limitations.
Obviously enough, much of the matter thus
listed is of but trifling value. Plainly, too, the
student of Lincoln must resort to wider sources
in the effort to learn what manner of man he was.
For example, of the 157 volumes cited in Mr.
Rothschild's recent work but 53 are here set
down. Yet this is the roll of that thousand and
more who have been moved by a great man's life
and death to commit their thoughts of him to
prints especially devoted to that end.
Use of the list will be facilitated by observing
the method of preparation and arrangement:
140 Abraham Lincoln
Each entry embraces a full copy of the title-
page (omitting only mottoes, etc., where indi-
cated) followed by the collation — size, number
of pages, and how illustrated. Figures in pa-
rentheses ( ) are pages not numbered in the book.
Words in brackets [ ] are not found on the page
transcribed. Care has been taken to preserve
initial capitals and especially the punctuation of
titles — or the absence of punctuation as is the
recent fashion. Some of the earlier titles are of
immoderate fullness while the modern style runs
to the opposite extreme, but however much or
little of his purpose the author saw fit to disclose
by this means, all is faithfully set forth.
No title is entered more than once unless there
are varying editions; mere reprints are disposed
of in notes. All are listed under one alphabet.
The form is that of the "author catalogue," en-
tailing the difficulties inseparable from anony-
mous publications. Compilations of Lincoln's
own writings, separately published, are listed
under his name; editions of the Debates, under
"Lincoln and Douglas." In all other cases ed-
itors are treated as authors. If the author's
name appears in the title, the entry is under that
name whether it be real or assumed. Identical
surnames are distinguished by adding given
name or initials in the form adopted by the
author. When the name is not shown in the
Bibliography 141
title but appears elsewhere in the book, it is still
used as the index-word, being enclosed in brack-
ets; if learned from other sources, the informa-
tion is given in a note. The proceedings of so-
cieties and of public bodies and meetings (no
editor's name appearing) are listed under the
name of the society, state or place. Strictly
anonymous prints are distributed according to
the rule devised by librarians in the interests of
uniformity, which requires each to be placed
under the "first word of the title not an article."
The rule is not ideal, since it often leads to con-
sequences futile if not absurd. In the present
list, for example, the names of both Deity and
the Adversary become index-words, while other
titles fall under "Is," "That," and like terms
signifying little. But the method has at least
the merit of being easily applied, so it has been
followed — with two slight variations, permissi-
ble I hope in a special list of this character, viz. :
When the authorship, being at first concealed,
is announced in a later edition, the editions are
brought together under the name thus disclosed.
And when the anonymous print deals with one
of the assassins only, it is entered under the crim-
inaPs name.
All reasonable effort has been made to exhaust
the field above defined. The leading collections
of Lincolniana have been freely opened to my
142 Abraham Lincoln
inspection, their owners earnestly co-operating
in the work of forming a more perfect list. The
chief libraries of both Europe and America have
been visited, extensive correspondence has been
carried on, and scores of catalogues examined.
Nevertheless, I am under no delusion as regards
the possibility of omissions. So many publica-
tions of this kind are privately printed, or of
local circulation only, that absolute complete-
ness is next to impossible.
So abundant has been the assistance given, and
so numerous the charming acquaintances grow-
ing out of it, that the mention of names will seem
invidious. I must, however, again acknowledge
especial indebtedness to that part of Boyd's "Me-
morial Lincoln Bibliography," compiled by
Mr. Charles Henry Hart, and to the minute
information and unfailing courtesy and helpful-
ness of Major William H. Lambert. Mr.
George Thomas Ritchie, also, through his ex-
cellent "List of Lincolniana in the Library of
Congress" and by valued personal assistance, has
placed me under deep obligation. And to my
generous friend and co-laborer, Mr. Judd Stew-
art, of New York, I owe more than may be told.

Suggested by articles in current British Magazines de-
ploring American ill-will towards England — especially a
complaint in " Blackwood's " for January, 1896, that the
School Histories inculcate unfriendliness. Made up largely
of excerpts from the war-time utterances of that periodical,
many of which are harshly derogatory to Mr. Lincoln.

Anonymous Titles Relating to Lincoln
A few anonymous prints fell under this heading for the reason
that Lincoln is the "first word of the title not an article." For
the same reason others of like character are grouped under
"Abraham" and the remainder under the appropriate "first
word." But this refers to anonymous publications only; the
author's surname is the index-word when such name is dis-
closed.

1865. 8vo, pp 172-2. Illustrated 916
The passengers organized as the " Sumter Club " and
chose Rev. J. Clement French and Mr. Edward Cary,
editor of the Brooklyn Union, to prepare this volume.
Included here as the best contemporary account of an
event historically associated with the tragedy at Washing-
ton. The ceremony was performed, by previous direction
of the President, at noon of the day on which the fatal
shot was fired, which was the fourth anniversary of the
evacuation. As the lowering of the colors at Fort Sum-
ter was the first concession to armed rebellion, so the
restoration of the same flag to its rightful place above the
ruin marked in a dramatic way the reinstatement of Na-
tional authority throughout the land. Lincoln's mission
and his martyrdom were both accomplished that day. Be-
sides Mr. Beecher's oration and a full report of the pro-
ceedings, the book contains addresses to the freedmen of
Charleston on the ensuing Sabbath by William Lloyd Gar-
rison, Senator Henry Wilson, Hon. W. D. Kelley, and
George Thompson, the anti-slavery champion of England.
