mansion. But they had not even had. the gene
rosity to tender a mansion but only to offer a por
tion of its costs.

THE NEGROES AtslD THE WAR
IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
The following noble letter-from President Lin
coln appears in a correspondence published in the
Frankfort (Kentucky) Commonwealth:
" EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Apri
4.—A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky :—Pdv Oman
Sin—You ask me to put in writing the substance
of what I verbally said. the other day, in your
presence, to Governor Bramlette staid Senator Dix
on. It was about as follows
" 1 am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not
wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember
when 'I
did not so think and feel. And yet, I have
never understood that the Presidency conferred
upon me an unrestre.ted right to act officially upon
this judgment and feeling - It was in the oath I
took, that I would to the best of my ability, pre
serve, protect, and defend the Constitution ol the
United States. I could not take the office
without taking the oath. Nor was it my view,
that I might take an oath to get power, and break
the oath, in using the power. I understood, Loa,
that, in ordinary civil administration, this oath
even forbade me, to practically indulge my
primary, abstract judgment on the moral question
of slavery. I had publicly declared this many
times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to
this day, I have done no official act
in mere deference to my abstract
judgmsm and feeling on slavery.
•' I did understand, however that my oath to
preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability,
imposed upon me the duly of preeevering, by
every indispensable means, that Go verrtment—that-
Nation. of which that Constitutionwas the org.nic
law. Was it possiblq to lose the Nation, and yet
preserve the Constitution.
"By general law, and limb must be pro
tected; yet often a limb must be amputated to
save a life ,• but a life is never wisely given to
save a limb. I . feel that measures, otherwise
unconstitutional, might become lawtul, by he
mming indispensable to the preservation of the
Constitution, through the preservation of the
Nation. Bight or wrong, I assumed .this
ground, and now avow it. I could not feel
that to the beet of my ability I had even tried
to preserve the Constitution, if to save slavery
or any minor matter,
I should permit the
wreck of Government, Country and Constitution,
all together. When early in the war General Fre
mont attempted military emancipation, I forbade
it becanse-I did not then think it an indispensable
ne essity. When a little later, General Cameron,
then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of •
the blacks, I objected, because 1 did not yet thick
it an indispensable necessity. When; still later:
General Bunter attempted military emancipation,
I again forbade it, because 1 did not yet think the
indispeni able necessity had come.
"'When, in March, and May, and July, 1862,
I made earnest and successive appeals to the Bor.
der States, to favor compensated emancipation, I
believed the indispensable necessity, tor military
emancipation, and arming the blacks would come,
unless averted by that measure. They declined
judgment, -
driven
proposition, and I was, In my best
the Union, and with it, the Conktitution, or of lay -
iLg strong hand upon the colored element. I
chose the latter. In cheosing it, I hoped for
greater gain than loss*.bnt of this I was not en.
tirely confident. More than a year of trial .row
shows no loss by it, in our foreign retail:ins; none
in our home popular sentiment, 'none, in our white
military force—no loss by it anyhowor anywhere.
On the conirary, it shows a gain of quite a bun
dred and thirty thousand soldiers. seamen and
laborers. These are palpable fee's, about which,
as facts, there can be no caviling. We have the
men, and we could not have had them Without
the me.: sure.
"And now, let any Union man, who complains
of the measure, test himself, by writing down in
one line, that he is for subduing the rebellion by
force of arms, and in the next, that he is for taking
these hundred and thirty thousand man from. the
Union side. and pinch. g them where they would
be, but for the int enure he condemns, If he can
not,face his cause so stated, it is only- because he
cannot face the truth.
"I add a word which was not in_ the verbal con
versation., 'ln telling this ' tale, I attempt no Com
pliment to my own saga zity. I claim not to have
controlled events. but contess plainly that events
have controlled me. Now, at the end of three
years' struggle, the nation's condition is Hot what
either party cr anyman devised or expected. God
alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems
plain. If God now - wills the removal of a great
wrong, and wills also that we of the North, as well
as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our com
plicity in that wrong, impartial history' will find
therein new cause to attest, and revere the justice
and-goodness of God '

mustered into said service, Mai.-Gen. Meade

vice of a regiment is to be computed from the
date of muster into the service of the United

The Commanding General will, however, at

borne an unsullied reputation during all the
eventful scenes which have marked-their con

fer the honorable fame they have won by their
gallantry and good conduct to be tarnished in

insubordination which, if ventured upon by
any, will be promptly suppressed, and can only
terminate in the speedy and certain punish•
