ENDORSEMENT OF THE PAROLE.
Col. Frank Wolford is dis.
charged from his parole given me
July 7th, 1864, and allowed to &C
at large, upon the condition Of
the parole by him signed on the
other side of this paper.
A. LINCOLN.
July, 1864.
These letters and papers from
Mr.. Lincoln are in his own hand
writing. They were submitted
by Col. Wolford to Geo. D. Prem
tice. Judges Nicholas and Pirtle,
Mr.. Harvey and others, and they
advised an acceptance of the
terms, preparing a letter which
they advised him to sign and
send to the President. He de-
clined to accept the terms or sign
the letter, but prepared one him
self which he forwarded and
which was afterwards published
and used in the campaign of 1864:
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 80, 1864
To ABRAHAM LINCOLN. PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
SIR:
have the honor of acknowl-
edging the receipt of your letter
proposing to me discharge from
an arrest in many ways vexatious
and inconvenient, upon my sign
ing a parole whereby l am to
pledge my honor that l will
neither do nor say anything that
will, either directly or indirectly,
tend to hinder, delay or embar-
rass the employment and use of
colored persons as soldiers, sea-
men or otherwise in the suppress
sion of the rebellion so long as
the United States Government
chooses to employ and use them. :"
In answer to this proposal | have
frankly to say that l cannot bar
gain for my liberty and the exer-
else of my rights as a freeman on
any such terms. | have commit
ted no crime. | have broken no
law of my country or of my State.
l have not violated any military
order nor any of the usages of
war. No act or word of mine
has ever given encouragement to
the enemy. 1 have no sympathy
with the rebellion; all my sympa-
thies are with, and all my hopes
are for, my country. The triumph
of the National arms, the pre-
servation of the Union, the main
tenance of the Constitution, the
restoration of the supremacy Of
i. the law over all the States, anC
the perpetuation of civil and re-
ligious liberties, are the objects
most dear to my heart.
I may say without presumption
that / have done more to enlis
white men in the army of the
Union than any other man in the
! State of Kentucky. have done
nothing to hinder the enlistment
of negroes, because l do not as
sociate with them and have no in
auence over them. You, Mr.
President, if you will allow thu
bluntness of a soldier, by the ex
ercise of arbitrary power have
caused me to be arrested and helC
in confinement contrary to law
not for the good Of our common
country, but to increase t h {
chances of your reelection to the
Presidency and otherwise tc
serve the purposes of the polite
al party whose candidate you are
and now you ask me to nulify my
self by signing pledge whereby
l shall virtually admit your right
to arrest me, and virtually sup
port you in lettering other men

ty is treason, and treason is the
highest crime known to our law.
The charge of disloyalty should
not be lightly made against any
officer or citizen. AS proof that
| am loyal let me set befor you a
few facts.
At the commencement of war
| opposed the doctrine of neutral
lty in Kentucky. When Govern
or McGoffin refused to respond to
your call for volunteers, l raised
a company on my own response
billity and held it in readiness for
my country's service. After
wards, by your permission, under
the auspices of the lamented Mel

OF Kentucky volunteer cavalry,
and had it mustered into the SER

pense, without ever asking the
Government to refund the mon

after Morgan, and was present
and second in command when he
was captured. In many fights
l commanded a regiment, in
many others a brigade, and
for a long time and in
many fights a division. For
proof that did my duty in the
field and in the camp, and that
my command always behaved
we'll and fought well, l refer you
to Generals Burnside, Shakel-

reports of the battles 1 fought,
because | seldom had time; be-

and did not desire promotion.

him. The bearer of the message,
Van Buren,, who had served un-
der Wolford as an engineer and
was friend, was told by Wo'-
ford that he was there a prison
err; he had seen the President
picture and did not care to see
him, but if the President wished
to see him he could call around. +"
Van Buren, at first refused to
carry such a message, but finally
consented, and the next day an
invitation was received from the
President inviting Col. Wolford
to call and see the President with
Senators Powell, Davis, and 9TH
ers. The invitation was accepted,
and WolfOrd was invited to sew
eral interviews with him.
AS a result of it all, the Presi-
dent ordered Wolford back to
Louisville upon his written parole
not to leave the city, and promis-
ing him a speedy trial, but insist
ing that he should be tried by a
military commission. WolfOrd
objected to this as an illegal pre-
cedure, but agreed to be tried in
any way so as to get through
with it.
It was in one of these inter-
views that he demanded of the
President the charges upon which
he was arrested. The President
informed him that he was charged
with saying in his speeches that
the government of the United
States was being crucifed be-
tween two thieves, the authorities
at Richmond and at Washington
City," Wolford Immediately re-
sponded, if that was all, although
he did not remember having used
the language as stated, he would
plead guilty and was ready for
trial. Gov. Powell thereupon
said, "Col., with your permission
I will volunteer to defend you
and make good the charge"
A short time after Col. VOL
ford's return to Louisville under
parole he received the following
communications, which speak for
themselves:
