| GENERAL The I'm portant QUESTION Of the

service In the states In ms irreeuoa against
the FEDERAL Government, TO which you have
again directed my attention In your letter Of
JAY goth, has received my most attentive cen
sidsi Ation. Ii ~ the desire OF the Preside (
that all existing rights In all the stats be
fully respected snd maintained. The war now
prosecutsa on the part OF the FEDERAL q W.
ornment 10 q war for the Union; for the pre-
ssrvation u all constitutional rights Of states
and the citizens OF tbs states In the Union.
Hence, no question can arise ~ TO fagttiyss
from service within the states and territories
in shich the authority Of the Union "a fully
acknowledged. The ordinary forms OF judi
ctal proceedings must DO respected by
military snd civil auth on les alike for the &C.
fore sment OF legal form. Bat In tn, stass
wholly or In part under ioeu-rset,onary con roi
where the laws Of the United States are 80 far
opposed and resisted that they cannot be 81
fsctually enforced, II u Obvious that thu
rights dspsrd,n n upon tn, execution Of those
laws must temporarily fau-and II equally

are conducted must be necessarily subordinate
