a Moble tetter from the President
Tbe following letter from President
Lincoln appeared recently in tbe columns
of tbe Frankfort (Keutucky) Common
icealtk. Col. Hodges, tbe editor of tbat
paper, accompanied Governor Bramlette
and Senator Dixon on their late visit to
Washington, relative to tbe draft in Ken
tucky. He there beard the President's
verbal vindication of bis publio policy and
on returning home requested Mr. Linoolo
to furnish him with a letter embodying
tbe substance of bis remarks upon tbat
occasion. The President imufediately
complied with the request, and addressed j
, . ,,..' , .!
tbe following letter to him. We commend 1
the letter to the serious consideration of
our readers :
Executive Mansiox,
Washington, April 4. )
A. G. llxhjfa, Eq , Frankfort, Ky. :
Mr Deae Sir You ask me to put in
writing tbe substsnce of wbat I verball y
said, the other day, io yoor presenoe, to
Gov. Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It
was about as follows :
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery
is not wroog, nothing is wrong. I eao not
remember when I did not so think and
feel. And yet, I have never understood
tbat tbe Presidency conferred upon me an
unrestricted right to aot officially upon
Ibis judgment and feeling. It was io the
oath I took, tbat I would to tbe best of
my ability, preserve, protect, and defend
the Coostitntioo of tbe United States. I
could not take the offioe without taking
Ibe oath. Nor wu it my view tbat I
might take ao oatb to get power and break
tbe oath in UBing tbe power. 1 under
. . . . a- .
stood, too, that io ordinary civil adminis
' tratioo this oath even forbade me to prac
... . .
tically indulge my primary abstract judg
ment on the moral question of slavery. I
had publioly deolared this many times and
in many ways. And I aver that, to Ibis
day, I have dooe no offieial act in mere
deference to my abstract judgment and
leering on slavery.
1 did understand, however, that my
natb to preserve the Constitution to tbe

' Was it possible to lose the Nation
i r,d yet preserve tbe Constitution ?
Ky general law, Itfe and limb most ba
protected ; yet often a limb must b. ampo,
tated tosa.e a life; but a life is never
wisely given to save a limb. I feel that
i "io.buicw, umerwiao uiiwuiiiiiii"iii,

gronnd, and' now avow it. I could not!
feel that to the best of my ability I bad
even tried to preserve Ibe C institution, if !
to save slavery or any minor mitter, I
should permit the wn-ck of Government,
Country, aud Constitution, all together.
