mise sufficient could be effected, &c &c

PREPARE FOR WAR"

Such is the advice which the Louisville Courier
informs us Mr. Lincoln gave an influential and
conservative citizen Of Kentucky, who had an
interview with him in Springfield short time be-
fore Mr. Lincoln left for Washington. The Cou-
rier states that Mr. Thomas Hutchinson wealthy
and cminently respectable citizen OF Boyle county
in Kentucky, and member of the Union party,
was.n Springfield, ILL.,, few days SINCE and feel
ing deeply interested in the maintenance Of peace
and anxious for the restoration of the Union and
knowing that the question Of peace or war is sub
stantiallv in the hands of Mr. Lincoln, through the
influence which his position gives him over the
members of his party, he sought an interview
with the President elect never doubling that ne
would learn that the patriotism, and good sense
and sound judgment Of that distinguished gentle
man were equal to the emergency, and capable OF
carrying peaceably and safely through the crisis.
He has returned home scithout hope for the future.
Mr. Lincoln in the conversation, referred to the
ant-coercion resolutions passed through the House
of Representatives at Frankfort by vote of 81
to noes, and asked his visitor if they expressed
the sentiment of the people of the State.
MIR Hutchinson replied that the people of Ken
lucky for the Union that they will cling to it
the sheet anchor of their hopes that they
would make any sacrifice which freemen could
make to preserve it; but he thought If any
attempt should be made to coerce the seeding
States by Federal arms, they would make common
ceuse with the South-that he believed the resolu-
tions expressed the sentiment of the State.
Mr. Lincoln then said with emphasis If
Kentucky means to say that if the Federal Gov
eminent undertook to re-capture the Southern
forts and collect the revenue, and war ensue, she
will unite with the South, LET HER PREPARE FOR
WAR"
The Courier observes that it needed not this
emphatic declaration OF the President elect of the
United States to convince the people of Kentucky
that if ensue between the North and the
South, they cannot avoid being drawn into the
conflict
