To The Wejt .Ncr Jersey ASSOCIATION:
REVEREND GENTLEMEN resolutions
concerning the state of public affairs which
you have transmitted to me, have been Conn.,
munieatcd to the President OF the United
States. am instructed by him to reply
that he accepts, with the most sincere and
grateful emotions, the pledges they offer Of
all the magnanimous endeavors and all the
vigorous efforts which the emergencies OF the
country demand The President desires,
also, that you may be we'll assured that. SO
far as it belongs to him, no yigor and no
perseverance shall be wanting TO suppress
the existing instruction and to preserve and
maintain the Union of the States and the
integrity Of the country. You may farther
rest assured that the President is looking for
a restoration Of peace on no other basis than
that of the unconditional acquIescence by
the people Of all the States, in the constitu.
tional authority of the Federal government.
Whatever policy shall lead to that result
vii! be pursued whatever interest shall
stand in the way Of il will lie disregarded.
The President Is, moreover, especially sem
sible OF the wisdom of Your couoscls, in
recommending the cultivation. by the gov
eminent and people OF the United States, of
a spirit Of mcekness, humiliation and de.
Pendence on Almighty God, as an indispcn-
sable condition of obtaining that Divine aid
and favor without which ali human wisdom
and all human power, though directed to
the wisest aud most bencvDlen, ends, are IN
lSaling and worthless. In time Of public
danger like this. State, especially Re
public as you justly imply, ought To reprcss
and cxpcl all personal ambitions. lcalousies
and aspcrities, and become one united, har.
loyal and devotional people.
Your obedicut servant,
