McComb City Intelliceneer-l
The following letter written by Presl-
dent Lincoln 10 1852, possesses historic
value. II shows that the var was prose
euted by the United States to prevent the
severance Of the United States, and not
to free the slaves. The latter was sim
ply y consequence, and was not at first
contemplated or intended. Indeed, while
the war was in progress, Mr.. Lincoln
said to the people Of ;be South, Lay
down your arms and submit to the au-
thority Of the United States Government,
and your property in slaves shall not be
interfered with" The proposition was
rejected. The war was fought TO the
bitter end-all parties in the North,
Democrats as well as Republicans, par
ticipating in the struggle on the side Of
the Union. When the emancipation
proclamation vas Issued, the prime OBJ
ject was not to free the slave but to es-
tablish the Union
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, d. C., Aug. %, 1862.
Hon. H. Greeley:
DEAR SR:-I have just read yours Of
| the 18th inst, addressed to myself,
through the New York Tribune.
If there be in it any statements or as
sumption Of fact which / may know to be
erroneous, i not now and here controvert
them.
If there be any differences which l may
believe to be falsely drawn, l 90 not now
and here argue against them.
If there be perceptible in it an impa-
tent and dictatorial tone, l waive II
in Difference to an old friend. whose
heart | have always supposed to be right.
As to the policy | seem to be pursuing,
as you say, / have not meant to leave
any one in doubt. / would save tn,
Union. | would a it in the shortesi
way under the Constitution.
The sooner the national authority cal
be restored, the nearer the Union vii
be to the Union as It ,cas.
If there be those who would not saw,
the Union unless they could at the sam,
time ave slavery, 1 do not agree will
them.
? If there be those who would not saw
! the Union unless they coul1 at the sam
time destroy slavery, l do not agree witt
7 them.
! My paramount object is to save tn.
Union, and not either TO save or destro,
slavery.
If 1 could save the Union withou
freeing any slave, / would do it. If
could do it by freeing all the slaves,
would do it and if l could do it by free
ing some and leaving others, l woul
also do that.
What ] do about slavery and the ne
gro race, | do because ! believe it help
to save the Union and what ! forbea
| forbear because l do not believe
would help to save this Union.
j shall do less whenever l shall b.
y lieye what | am doing hurts the cause
and l shall do more whenever I believ
y doing more will help the cause.
l shall try to correct errors whe
shown to be errors, and | shall adoy
new views SO fast as they shall appear
be true views.
n / have here stated my purpose accor,
e ing to my views of official duty, and
a intend no modification of my oft-e,
It pressed personal wish that all men ever,
y where could be free. Yours,
=, LINCOLN.

Resolutions Passed by the Sails
Democratic Reform Club.

WHEREAS, Capt. +. II. Sanders, an
old citizen and planter of this county,
who, before and since the war, held u
crative and honorable offices by the
suffrages of Democrats, as well ms Wings,
has recently. in a letter to the New York
Tribune, Ia paper now in the pay of the
most corrupt party the world ever saw, J
most cruelty misrepresented the condition
Of this State, and slandered those who
have befriended him, and this, too, from
motives unworthy of n man or citizen f;
therefore.
Resoieed,, That whilst we do not
question the perfect right of any citizen
to hold any political views he may choose,
yet we know no law, human or divine,
that justifes a citizen in slandering his
neighbOrs and State, or in encouraging
known enemies to trespass upon or sub
vert the rights of his State, in order that
he may thereby obtain some specialfavor
from those enemies, or power still further
to injure those whom he is under obliga-
tons to assist and defend.
ResOlved, That in our opinion Capt.
Sanders knows the verdict impartial his
tory has always warded against such
treachery, and is too well informed not
to understand fully the calumnious char.
acter of his letter; and therefore the
more justly merits the contempt of all
good citizens, North and South, "irres-
pective of race, color or previous condi.
tion."
Resobed, That inasmuch as Capt. San.
ders selected the Tribune on account Of
its large circulation and Radical tone, a:
a vehicle for his laconic communication,
we will send these resolutions to the New
York Day Book, jackson CLARION, New
York Sun, Lexington Advertiser anC
Central STAR with request to publish.

Some one, treating of the disposition
of children to feed on Stories expresses
the opinion hat parents ought to regu.

'It is a great relief, doubtless, if that
bright little girl of ten is curled upon
the library sofa all by herself, still as a
mouse for hours, and no trouble to any
body, But where is. she meanvhiles
Is that silent voyage in dreamland, that
fever-heat of excitement and emotion,
safe and salubrious to either mind OF
body? If. in later years, your child be-
comes a laekadaisical n~oyel-reader, with
pale cheeks and melancholy eye, caring
for nothing but novels, extravagant in
sentiment, and unhappy without excite.

Stupid" and cOmmOn people as 'sb0res. :
ignorant of all best truths, and having
no aims in life but romantic and i'm.

a SAD TRIAL.-The church at Crys-

months, has been called to suffer a sore
trial i'll the frequent deaths of her chill
dren. That terrible scourge, diptheria,
has extensively prevailed through that
part of the country, and carried away
many Of the young. The stroke of Gods
baud has fallen most heavily on our
highly esteemed brother, Mr.. ]. NJ. New
ton, an elder and superintendent of the
Sabbath-school. First, little Albert
Barnes, a beautiful child of five years,
the frst-boIn son, was taken ; and then,
in a few days after, the eldest (Minnie,)
a sweet girl Of about nine years. We
learn that she died on the birth day of
her departed brother, and asked her
mother not to weep, as she would 60 to
spend a happy birthday with Barnes in

"No flowers" We have often seen
." no cards at the end of a marriage
notice. We are more pleased to see the
following style of funeral invitation:
''The relatives and friends of the fam
lily are respectfully invited to attend her
funeral, without further notice, from her
late residence. No flowers"
Nothing is more difficult to accomplish
in the way of reform than funeral Gus
toms. But the use of flowers has grown
to such an excess, that it deserves the
serious efforts of good people to modify
the practice of expanding money upon
such decorations n. Y. Observer.
