Commonwealth publish-, es the following lettni.tMtiliridyini' the substance nf wlmt tho President (aiii to Governor Brain Itllc and a Kentucky committee during an in terview nt Washington : ExKCUTIVE MANSION, ( Wabiunutiin, April 4. A. (i. Hrnip, Frankfurt, Ky My Dear Sir: You ask tuo to put in writinr lio sub stance of what I verbally mid, the other day, in your prcsenoe.tn Governor Hramlette and Sen ator Dixon. It was about as follows : I am UHturully anti-slavery. If slavery it not wrong nothing ii wrong. I cannot remem -lier wlicu I did nut 10 think and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Preaiduucy conferred on mo an unrestricted right to act nfliuiaily upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took.tliut I would, to the heat if my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, I could nut take tho office without tukiug the oath. Nor waa it my view that I might take an nath to got power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administrations, this oath even forbade me to practically indulge uiy primary, abstract judgment, oti tho moral question of slavery, 1 lnid public!' declared this many times and In miuiy wuys. And I aver that, to. tliaj day, I have dono no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserv ing, by indispensable means, that government, that tuition of which tho constitution was tho orguuio law. Was it possible to lose the na tion and yet preserve the constitution t By general law, life and limb must be protected, yet often a limb is amputated to save a life.but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I feel that measures otherwise unconstitntional might become lawful by becoming Indispensa ble to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation, llight or wrong, I assume this ground and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my abil ity I bad even tried to preserve the constitu ' tion, if, to save slavery or any minor matter, I should permit tho wreck of government, conn try and constitution, all together. When cur. ly in thu wnr General Fremont attempted mili tary emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. Wheu, a little later, Gen. Cameron, then .Sec retary of War, suggested tho arming of ne groes, I objected, because I (lid not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipa tion, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the iudespensable necessity had come. When, In March and May and July, 1862, 1 made earnest and successive appeals to the bor der States to favor compensated emancipation, believed the indispensable necessity fur mili tary emancipation would come uulesss averted by that measure. Thov declined the measure, . and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, aud with it the Constitution, or ol laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter, Iu choosing it, I hoped for greater gaiu than loss ; but of this I was not entirely conti nent. Moro than a year of trial now shows no ' loss by it in our foreign relations ; none in our popular sentiment ; none in our white military force no loss by anyhow or anywhere. On tho coutrary it shows a gain of quite a hun dred and thirty thousand soldiers, seamen and laborers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can he no oaviling. We have the men, and wu could not have had them without the measure. And now, let every Union man who com plains of the measure test himself by writing down in one line that he ia for subduing the rebellion by force of arms, and in the next that lie is for taking these hundred and thirty thou sand men, from the Union side, and placing them where they would bo but for the measure lie condemns. If lie canuot face his cause so stated, it is only beeause he cannot face the truth. - I add a word whioh was not in the verbal conversation. I telling this tale, I attempt no compliment to my own Bagacity, I oluim not to bare controlled events, tut confess plainly that events hare controlled me. Now, nt the end of three years' struggle, the nation' condition is not what either party devised or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it ii tend ing seems plain. If God now wills the remov al of a great wrong, and wills also, that we of the North, as well you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impar tial history will find therein new cause to at test and revere the justice and goodness of liod. ' Yours truly. . A. LINCOLN. FROM DO I U LAS COIXTV. Grkki Vaixhy, May 25. 1884. Ed. Statesman : Having a leisure moment, I thought perhaps it might be improved to some lit tle advantage by Informing you and the numerous readers of ihe Statesman, "how the world wags" in this section of Uncle Sam's domains. The approaching election seems to jtbsorb the attention of the people at present speculating as to the probable result, and the oftttct it will . have upon the "Niggnr Question." The scarcity of rain thus far has caused much anxiety among tho farmers, and almost a total failure of crop is apprehended, unless it soon rains ; and of this desirable object at present there is no indication. The people of Oregon havo long been blessed with abundant harvest, and thereby been led to expect a continuation a lesson that, even it it is piiicliuig, may in the eyes ot 1 rovi dence not be amiss. Pardon mo now, Mr. Editor, ;f I digress while I speak a word in favor of your paper: Tho .S'la man is read extensively iu this vicinity, and pro nounced br nil tho best paper on the const. lis approach to our rural homes is always hailed with deliirht. Yesterday a largo concourso of people assem bled at Oakland to listen to the county candidates set forth their claims. His Excellency (iovcruor (litibs boinir present, and accompanied by den. Lane. The candidates waived the privilege of siieakiiig iu order to listen to these gentlemen. the would-be rresiueni leu lortu, arrayeu iwiu numerous documents, and a claw-hammer coat The doctrine of secession was fully justified by him, as was also a memorable speech said to have heen delivered bv bimi wherein that arch-traitor Jeff. Davis is called the "truest aud bravest of natrinta." Failing to make an impression by arguiu- at, ha resorted to ridicule, but soon found his equal in the person of our Governor, whose first appear ance was greeted with tremendous appfanse, and so throughout. Y ou may safely set Douglas down for :iiH maioritv for Henderson. The glorious victories of our army have given ns great joy, and we hope, trust and pray that this wicked rebellion will soon be crashed.

If bight, form, appearanee, constitute the requisite qualities for otbee, truly may wt lament that we hare not a Porter or soma sodern giant to successfully eontest this present canvass. What iaduces ma to speak thu, U, whenever anything was said in relation to our candidate for Congress, the Davis sympathisers invariably boasted of the Colonel's hight, depth and length of body.

Traveling conveniences are poor, but let the general dissemination of knowledge be great. The boneflls resulting from these conventions are inestimable.

What he did say was this : If you look in the dictionaries, yoa will find that "loyally" means duvotion or allegiance to a sovereign, or prince, and uot to a nation or couulry. In tknt rs'cof the word, I thank (led there is uot a drop of loyal blood in my veins, nor ia there in Ihe veins of any Democrat or true freemnu. I have patriotic blood, not " blutwi, in iov vein, Und ao huve all Democrats. The word "loralty" onglit to be stricken from the Amrriean vocabulary. We give O'Muara the full heucfit of his ex planation, hut must remark 'that he labors to make a distinction whero no difference exists. Thu word loyalty is in every day use, aud has a certain, definite, signification, whioh every one understands, and no one mistakes who does uot tranf to do so. It means fuithful support of the government under which we live. We do not use it with the meaning which wns given it a hundred yenra ago, bnt with the common ac ceptation of the present day. The word ought not. in onr opinion, "to be stricken from the American vocabulary," and is not likely to bo until the men who are led ty 0'Meara and Jo Lane cease to render its use aud enforcement necessary to the peaoe and unity of the nation.

Statesman i It appears that "nails" racier hurt Mr. N. T. Catuu, and ho has made an effort to draw them, by inserting in his de fense, tha name of J. II. M cores instead of I. R. Moorcs, Wow Mr. Editor, it is very con venient for Mr. C, to endeavor to evade the mutter in that way, since he knows that J. U, Moores is ubsent lioui the State, and will not be homo until after the election. Ho, Cutnn, says that I am mistaken, in what he said hut I can assure him that I was not mistaken. He said, Mr. J. II. Moores, not J. II. this I oau prove by Mnj. Magone, the chairman of the meeting, and many others. I knew at tho time that J. R. were not the correct Initials of either of tho Mr. Moores, but I supposed that he meant I. It., as it was nearer that way than J, H. ; everybody knows thut J. and I. are often taken the one for the other, hut H. and R. are never so tnlton. But what difference would it make, ns to the fact in tup case, whether it J. II., or I. Ii. 1 as thoy are full partners, and constitute the firm 1 But, Mr. Cuton says that "I. R. Moores denies signing tho statement made over his signature " I bnpo Mr. C. will excuse me, when I lull him that I can not be lieve that I. R. Moores did any such thing ; since Judge Boise, Major Magone and Samuel Allen have all heard I. R. Moores say that he did sign the statement in question t and I can not think that he has denied it to Caton and owned it to others ; I have too much confidence in Col. Moores to believe any such stuff. But Mr. Caton still insists that my brother did aot dishonestly, hecauso ho paid in a letter to J. II. Moores, tint "it was the duty of all loyal men to tnke the ourrenoy of tho country at par." Now, I ask any honest man if the ex pressing of such .an opinion is evidence that a man is dishonest 1 Did nnt tha Legislature of Washington Territory, at ita Inst session, ex press such an opinion, in the shapo of a law ? Do not all the loyal people of the Eastern States pass thu currency uf government of the United Status at par ? And when greenbacks wcro first put in circulation on the Pacilio Coast, there wcro very many good men who thought that all luynl men ought to take green-, backs at part and they did take them al par' themselves, and used their influence to ktep them at pur ; bat the speculators of San Fran, cisco and elsewhere controlled the money mir kut, in spite ol' all that good, honest, loyal Union men could lo. Now, when my brother was oonvinoed that Mr. Moores would have to lose some $12 on tuo'o greenbacks, ho told old Mother Moores. at her house in Salem, about the first week in Ootober last, that he would lend the money to make it as good as gold ; und that wa liing before he had any idea of being a candidate at the Albany Convention. Xmv, Mr. Editor, I havu no idea that Mr. Ca ton, iu his heart, believes that J. H. D. Hen derson is a dishonest man; and had Mr. C. one-half tho honesty and patriotism, ho would never stoop so low as to delaine an honest man, I eininlv iiauiln T.i !l "ndull for Congress. But, wo cannot expect anything better front such a source t Cuton must excuse me if 1 havo driven the nails a little tighter, and clinched them. And now, I hnpo that I shall nut be under tho necessity nf noticing him at any futnro time ; as ho is rather ton much of "nigger-equality man" to suit my taste. He told tno "that he would rather hjive 'Negro Johnson' elected to Congress than my brother." Therefore, 1 conclude that Caton considers himself nearer on a level with "Negro John sou" than with my brother, and I agree with him in that partioulat . - E. P. HENDERSON. DollieHtil! Itl'UIN.
