WAsHINsToN, October 4, 1861
To HIS Ereeiisaey Israel Hask6s-s,
AEsvsta, Maiat
GOVERNOR Application has been made to the
President for the release Of ebert Elliot polit-
Teal prisoner held In custody ct Fort Lafayette
The evidence taken In his case shows that he
had not only conceived the purpose Of reasonable
cooperation in the State Of Maine with the insur-
rectionary citizens arrayed In arms In other States
for the overthrow Of the Government and the
Union, but that he had even gone to the extreme
length Of getting up an unlawful armed force TO
operate in Maine against the lawful &C ton of the
State and Of the Federal Government.
His associates In that reasonable enterpriss.
since bis arrest, have taken an oath of allegiance
to the United States. This proceeding 10 yery
proper in itself. But the representations they
make, that they, and he, were loyal to the Union
at the time when they were combining in arms
against It, cannot be accepted at least in his be-
half Itappears that he 10 too intelligent 70 mis-
understand the legitimate tendency of his crimi
nal acts. HeOnnnot be released. On the contrary,
your vigilance In ferreting out the conspiracy,
and In arresting 1t, by denouncing II 10 the Gov
eminent and the country, Is deemed worthy Of
especial commendation. -
IL any Of the other offenders are stiI persistinp
In their reasonable course, you will, I am sure,
not fail to give information to this Department
have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, WILLIAM H. SEWARD
