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.

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

Yesterday a largo concourso of people assem

The doctrine of secession was fully justified by

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

Then, according to copper logic, he must be the

What iaduces ma to speak thu, U, whenever
anything was said in relation to our candidate for

Let t be teachers of this mule, every school superin

acteriz-e ns when we consider that the teachers of this
coast uro the pioneers of this westward tirOih-Mam.
The whole world is at their uel. This mighty tido
of civilization that has been llowiug wustwurd for
centuries will culminate here i and the murmuring
waves of the racilio will lull its progress, until tins
const will be unrivullcd in weultb.population and pow

foundation for our future grcatuess t Let our school
system be the best potiHibiu, then the proper educa
tion of the youug will be a fixed fact, and the success
aud prosperity uf the coming age wilt tie the result.
lue peculiar mouei ni tins government is sucii tuui
to perpcttiute it requires a general disseitiiiintiuu of
knowledge. Despotism lives with ignorance and
darkness, and dies iu civilization mid light. For self
government mail must bo eduuatud. iiu must know
what to ask, when to ask, bow to ask, and whut to
expect after be has asked, lie must be competent to
weigh candidly every act uf the government, every
word of our statesmen, and not suiter himself to be
led to ruin by some faciuatiug, glittering, ideul right.
The time munt sud wiil come when every inuu will be
his own lender i then the problem of self-government
will no longer be considered simply solved It will be
proved. While stern but just necessity is culling tlieut
tculiou of the people to the war-like urta and sciences,
we should in a corresponding degree advocate the
in-accliil arts and sciences. When a nation however
great begius und continues to emulate the soldier, and
march the public niiud rank und lilc in a military chats-
uel, mere is uo wire sure sign oi uecuy, no mure cer
tain roud to rum. Feacelul arts and ocieuces are es
sential to prosperity. However, this war munt go nu
till the lust traitor puts down his urms, and we as teach
ers bid It tjod speed, lint we idioutd lubor with increas
ed zeal, so that, wheu the war Is over the Union re
stored, wc may lie enuhlcd to Influence the public mind
to take the riuht course. Then while our bravo soldiers

whose minds are anorned Willi "now," present prom
and enjoyment, and wliose soul does uot go out to pos
tertty with a liesrl and a hand for their advancement,
we have nothing to say. We do not expect their at

nrMr. O'Mcara writes to the Albany Jour.
nu.i that Lis remarks at Scio were misrepresen
ted. 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.

"A.N0TUEK LIE SAILED" AND CLINCH KD.
Et). 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 . -
