through the New York Tribune。  If there be in it any statements or

assumptions of fact which I may know to be erroneous; I do not now

and here controvert them。  If there be in it any inferences which I

may believe to be falsely drawn; I do not now and here argue against

them。  If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial

tone; I waive it in deference to an old friend; whose heart I have

always supposed to be right。



As to the policy I 〃seem to be pursuing;〃 as you say; I have not

meant to leave any one in doubt。



I would save the Union。  I would save it the shortest way under the

Constitution。  The sooner the national authority can be restored; the

nearer the Union will be; 〃the Union as it was。〃  If there be those

who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save

slavery; I do not agree with them。  If there be those who would not

save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery; I

do not agree with them。  My paramount object in this struggle is to

save the Union; and is not either to save or destroy slavery。  If I

could save the Union without freeing any slave; I would do it; and if

I could save it by freeing all the slaves; I would do it; and if I

could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone; I would also do

that。  What I do about slavery and the colored race; I do because I

believe it helps to save this Union; and what I forbear; I forbear

because I do not believe it would help to save the Union。  I shall do

less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause; and I

shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the

cause。  I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I

shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views。

I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty;

and I intend no modification of my oft expressed personal wish that

all men; everywhere; could be free。



Yours;



A。 LINCOLN。









TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR YATES。



WAR DEPARTMENT; WASHINGTON; D。C。; August 13。1862。  8 A。M。



HON。 R。 YATES; Springfield; Ill。:



I am pained to hear that you reject the service of an officer we sent

to assist in organizing and getting off troops。  Pennsylvania and

Indiana accepted such officers kindly; and they now have more than

twice as many new troops in the field as all the other States

together。  If Illinois had got forward as many troops as Indiana;

Cumberland Gap would soon be relieved from its present peril。  Please

do not ruin us on punctilio。



A。 LINCOLN。

protection; I sanction the call that you have made; and will receive
