them into execution A. LINCOLN.
1 shall not Get forth the various reasons which induced
/ The executive Of these Sisios to suballt fhslr prop0E-
tlon. 1. wilbs uflaeat for you 20 know that It Is eyi
dent, from The circumstances watch surround us, that
the battles which are to decide the fas Of the country
are soon 80 be fought. The e1euy has during tt0 pat
| wiuter. been coueen rating 81 bis strength for he sum.
ner cEmpaiR1, whieh ts before rs. Il Is % the utmost
importance that. the Government be prepared to meat
item with tks greatest force and with the most over
1helming Bumbsss which iti is possible 70 be bronght to
bear. You are also sware that The country which has
slrssdy besn wrsEted FROM the grasp Of the enemy is Of
vazt extent, embracing maEY States and TerTitoriez,
many Thousand Inles Of Sea coast and the whole length
Of the Mississippi and most Of their tubuisr es. and that
to hold this country and thess long lines Of sea andriTer
coast. requires large stationary forces.
The sfro1gtolds, forts garris0ns ciies and towns,
Situated a. they arc in the MIDST Of populations which
are for most part disioyai, and ready 70 rise upon the
xilhdrgwal Of troops, are sim0si innumsrable, aud re-
dnire by far the greater part Of our immense army la
/ THAR protection aud defsnse. In this view OF the case,
the Exscntivss Of the Northwestern States believed that
the sfhceney of he army might be immensely increased
by 3 volunteer force 70 b immediately raised, which
should occupy the points alresdy taken, release orr
veteran troops and send them forward to ieu ths main
body Of the army, which Is soon 10 engage the forces Of
the enemy. It viii be apparent alec, thst While these
forces are TO be employed in fortihcstions and a. such
! points as the Government may require, that now and in
The future also, they viii pisce in the hands Of the State
the means to repel invasion from their borders suppress
insurrecii0n. and msintsin the peaeS-

Imaks my appeal to the stste Of Illinois TO respond
70 the GoVernment with her luAi qucta CT iWeptY tnou
sand men within the next twenty days Although lh'
Slafs has thus far exceeded her quotA under all cali
by 50 many thoussnd, 1 doubt not she will siaud ready
to strengthen the arm Bf he Government IN ibis trying
hour. and that she Tdl send his timely and necessary
relief to her gallant sons Row In the Held, ard WIZ
have 50 distinguished her proud name mp n every bal
tie hsld Of he war. Il Is confidently hoped shat log
j, the u which may thus be given orr veteran army
the last blow may be given this wicked rebellion, sul
the Government re established. The Uni0n restored and
all the bless nEs Of = stable and lasting pskse secured
Though In the North and in tbs South he notes o
preparation for the conflict an be land, yet for he hs
time have I fully seen thE b. ginning Of the end of thi
frighfful war All that Is new required Is that thi
Government put forth its power at the rieht ime an
the Fht place.
The people Of niaois have confidence ia her sous
the great eoInmHpder, General Grant vhum she IA
given 10 tbs country, r. well So Ia the armies under al
eommsnd. Let Us do all in our power to uphold an
strengthen their arms.
Glorious Ilinoisi In every period OF this Wer yot
have done your GUY. The shining achievements O
your sons are the admiration Of the world. In hi
most eventful hour you will not fail
