PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO Mr. WOOD.
Executive MANSION


WAsHIsGToN Dec IL, 1869
NY DEAR SrR.-Your le ter Of The 5Ih
with the ac' ompanying note Of the same
date, WAS received yesterday.
The most important paragraph in the let
ter. as | consider, il in these words: On the
25th ol November last was advis d bv an
authority which dce,ned likely to be well in
formed ss well as reliable and trutbf ], that the
Southern States woull send representatives to
the mex, Congress, provided that full aud
general amnesty should permit them to do so,
No gurantee or terms were asked for other
than the amnesty referred to-"
! strongly suspect your information will
prove TO be groundless; nevertheless, thank
you for communicating it 10 me. Under
standing the phrase in the paragraph above
puoted-''the Southern States would send
representatives to the next Congress"-to be
substantially the same as that "tbe people oi
the Southern States won cease resistance
and would reinaugurate. submit to, and main
tain the national authority within the limits
Of such States, under the Constitution Of tho
United States" say that, 10 such case, the
war would Cease on the part Of the United
States; and at il within a reasonable time
"a fuII and general amnesty" were necessary
TO such md, il woull not be Withheld
do no. think it would be proper now To
communicate this. formally OF informally, to
the people oi the Southern States. Ny belief
is hat they already know il; and when they
choose. j ever, they can communicate With
me uneqai,ocally. Nor do think it proper
pow su,psnd military operations to Try aoy
experiment OF negotiation.
| should nevertheless receive, with great
pleasure, the exact information you now have,

EDIroE JoueSAL:--I learn than there is re-
port in circulation in Sandusky county, that
am rebel sympaihiscr, Or in other words, dis
loyal TO my country. This to a man IN the SCR
vice Of his country is very unpleasant, and my
object in this commupication is TO correct any
such impression that may exist IN the county.
Asis well known, bad two suns in the army,
one is there now, the other died of disease while
in the service, and arr now voluntarily filling
his place in the same company and regiment, to
which be was formerly attached. They both
entered the service by my approval. Dccsthis
look as though was a rebel symPathizerS
II is true that did not sign the address tc
the People Of Ohio from this regiment, but il
was not because l did not approve and mos
heartily endorse the same, but because at tn,
time the resolutions were adopted, was no
with the regiment, aud consequently could no
say had previously endorsed them, as all die
who signed their names to the Address.
No man has any right, or any cause to doub
my loyalty; and no man has greater desire Il

and our flag than / have, and all reports to th
contrary are false and untrue. BY inserting tn
