President when | say that we are fighting
only to preserve the integrity Of the Union
and the Constitutional authority of the

The Inhabitants of Kentucky may rely
upon il that their domestic institutions will
in no manner be intcrfcred with, and that
they will receive at our hands cyosy oon>ti
tut'onal protection. have only to repeat

This rebellion has assumed the character
CT war as such il should be regarded, and
it should be conducted upon the highest
principles known to christian civilization
1t shoold not be a war looking to the sub
jugation Of the people of any State in any
event. 1t should not be at all war upon
populations, but against armed forces aud
political organizations. Neither conhsea-
ton Ut property, political executions of per-
SONS, territorial or. anzation of States, nor
torcible abolition of slavery should be COZ
templated for moment In prosecuting
the war, all private property and unarl,ed
persons should be strictly protected, subject

Time, and the lon = continuance of good
fortune, Obliterated the recollection of the
calamties of years preceding the adoption
of the Constitution. They forget that con-
citation, common interests, and mutual
charity had been the foundation, and must
be the support of our Government, and all
the relations of life. Rebellion
against Government like ours, which con-
contains within itself the mean Of scll-ad-
justment and a pacific remedy for evils,
should never be conionnded with revolu
lion against despotic power, which refuses
