/ For the Hillsborough Recorder.
MR. HEARTT. ---All the disunionists say
FLincoln's inaugural means war. say, not
so. say the heart Of the man is not right
who can't see more peace than war in the
message. Let me collect for your readers
the proof that there is no smell OF powder in
the message.
"In your hands. my dissatisfied fellow
countrymen, not in mine, IS the momentous
issue Of civil war"
!" The Government will not assal YOU"
/" You can have no conflict without being
yourselves the aggressors." We are not
enemies, but friends" " We must not be
enemies
"There will be no invasion, no using OF
force against or among the people anywhere"
Z" There will be no attempt to force obnox-
ous strangers upon the people, to fill Offices
in particular localities when the people them.
selves refuse to fill the Offices lie will
forego the execution of some OF the laws be-
fore he will irritate the people.
All protection consistent with the Con-
sttution and the laws will be cheerfully Civ
en- TO all The States, as cheerfully to one sec
ton as to another"
81 have no purpose. directly or Indirect
y, TO Interfere with the institution Of slave
ry in the States where il exists" :" have
no lawful right to do so, and have no incli-
nation to do So"
"Tbe mails, unless repealed, will contin-
ue to be furnished in all parts of the Union"
8 The people everywhere shall have that
sense Of perfect security which is most ia
yorable to calm thought and reflection"
I" To avoid all misconstruction Of what
have said, have no objection TO the propos
ed amendment to the Constitution, to the
effect that the Federal Government never
shall interfere with the domestic institutions
of the States, including that of persons held
TO service"
have given you eight extracts from the
inaugural to show that Lincoln does not mean
war;" as Governor Ellis and the disunion-
lists say. They know their conduct leads to
revolution and war; they kaow the indigna-
ton and curses Of the people will fall upon
those who inaugurate civil war, and hence
they are trying to get the start by saying
LincOln's message means war;
Without much search can find other pas
sages in the message going to show the peace
able character Of the President.
