Executive Department Springfield Illinois January 11, 1862 President Lincoln Washington D.C. The crisis of the war and national existence is upon us. The time has come for the adoption of more decisive measures. Greater animus and earnestness must be infused into our military movements. Blows must be struck at the vital parts of the rebellion. The government should employ every available means compatible with the rules of warfare, to subject the traitors. Summon to the standard of the republic all men willing to fight for the union. Let loyalty, and that alone, be the dividing line between the nation and it's foes. Generals should not be permitted to fritter away the sinews of our brave men in guarding the property of traitors, and in driving back into their hands loyal blacks, who offer us their labor & seek shelter beneath the Federal flag. Shall we sit supinely by and see the war sweep off the youth and strength of the land, and refuse aid from <hr /> that class of men, who are at least worthy foes of traitors and the murderers of our government and of our children? Our armies should be directed to forage on the enemy, and to cease paying traitors & their abettors exorbitant exactions for feed needed by the sick or hungry soldier. Mild and conciliatory means have been tried in vain to recall the rebels to their allegiance. The conservative policy was utterly failed to reduce traitors to obedience and to restore the supremacy of the laws. They have by means of sweeping conscriptions, gathered in countless hordes, and threaten to beat back & overwhelm the armies of the union. With blood and treason in their hearts they flaunt the black flag of rebellion in the face of the Government, and threaten to butcher our loyal and brave army with foreign bayonets. They arm negroes and merciless savages in their behalf. Mr Lincoln. The crisis demands <hr /> greater efforts and sterner measures Proclaim anew the good old motto of the Republic "Liberty and Union now and forever one and inseparable"; and accept the services of all loyal men, and it will be in your power to stamp armies out of the earth---irresistable armies that will bear our banners to certain victory. In any event Illinois, already alive with beat of drum and resounding with tread of new recruits, will respond to your call. Adopt this policy, and she will leap like a flaming giant into the fight. This policy for the conduct of the war will render foreign intervention impossible, and the arms of the Republic invincible. It will bring the conflict to a speedy close and secure peace on a permanent basis. <hr /> Original of Gov's Dispatch to the President Conduct of the War Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Chicago March 24 / 62. My Dear Govr. You need have no fears as to the course which the Tribune will pursue in regard to the constitution. I had an interview of three hours with Medill this morning. He will oppose the [illegible] constitution in the columns of the Tribune & otherwise by every means in his power. I have also conversed with several leading Republicans, & find that there is a stern & fixed determination that the constitution must be defeated. No effort will <hr /> be spared in this city to accomplish this result. Plans have already been devised to combine all the railroad interest against it. It is also proposed to subsidize the [entire?] democratic Press of this city, & to some extent, that of the state. Medill & others think that there is some prospect that the Times & Post may be brought into active opposition by concentrating the railroad influence & bringing it to bear upon them. In short, every thing looks fair in this city at the present moment. If the vote could be taken tomorrow it would be almost solid against <hr /> the iniquity. Allow me the liberty of suggesting that if you design to be a candidate for senator it would be decidedly advisable to procure pledges from at least a majority of Rep. members before the session is called. If you await their arrival in Springfield before securing their support adverse influences will be brought to bear upon the [illegible] the moment the session is called until the election takes place. Now they are probably unpledged & can be much more easily influenced in your favor than at any other period. I have not felt at liberty <hr /> to state to any one that you was a candidate, although I have stated it as my opinion that you would not object. Mr Medill will probably visit you in a few days. I requested him to do so. By all means secure his influence, if within the bounds of possibility An open advocacy of your claims by the Tribune would influence many members in this part of the State. I felt of Medill cautiously but found I was tracking on dangerous ground & backed out without committing <hr /> myself. Medill approves of the plan of calling the Legislature together & bringing back Jayne, Bester et al. He thinks that Lincoln will certainly cooperate in the movement & will reappoint them, or give them other positions, after the work is done. The difficulty suggested by Mr Hatch, that the military officers could not, under a rule of the War department, be reappointed, can be obviated by a change or rescission of of the rule. If there are any members in this part of the state, particularly in 1st & 2d Dist's <hr /> that you desire me to see in relation to the senatorship please advise me, & mention particularly the points which should be made, or in other words the strings to pull, & I will endeavor to make some business in this vicinity & casually call & see them. Please give my kind regards to the state officers Very truly yours E. Peyn Ferry P.S. The general opinion here is that the Constitution will be defeated. <hr /> E. P. Ferry Chicago, March 24 Private.

My Dear Sir: I have delayed, from day to day, answering your letter, hoping that Blodgett would return from Pea Ridge, & that after seeing him, I could give you some good news from that quarter. He has not yet returned & lest you should misconstrue my silence I thought I would drop you a line. I want to see Blodgett, and [secure?] him if possible, and I am strongly in hopes that I can do so. I have certain strings to pull on him, which I think cannot fail to bring him. After seeing Blodgett, I <hr /> will endeavor to see all the all or nearly all the persons referred to by you, & in short I will devote all of my time to secure your election & to defeat the constitution. The Journal of this city & the Tribune are all right on the Constitution. The Journal will be out tomorrow with a strong leading editorial. The Democrat (German) is also opposed. The Telegraph (German) will remain neutral. The Staats Zeitung has not yet assumed a position. I have had several interviews with Capt Schneider, one of the Editors. He is opposed, but [Brenthano?], his position is doubtful. I cannot learn definitely what <hr /> the Times & Post intend to do but am informed that there is a prospect that both will approve. Wentworth is not so fierce for the Constitution as he was a few days since. He [discovers?] a stronger opposition than he expected & if he is satisfied that it will be defeated in this city, he will, I think, at least remain neutral.

If so inclined I could give <hr /> you strong letters to them and if they could not give you a good place you could perhaps finds some regiment which would be satisfied with your appointment.

Jacksonville Ill: April 22d 1862 Judge Moses Dear Sir, Yours of yesterday and parcel per Express, are both recd. I have placed the parcel in the hands of Mar. Stacy Esq. who will attend to distribution of its contents through the precincts of the County. There is apparently little concern felt about the interests involved in the question of the New Constitution, and I apprehend great danger from this indifference. The Democrats will doubtless vote for it, in solid strength, as for a great Party measure, and it is to be feared that many Republicans may either vote for it, or let it go by default. I wish the signs were better. <hr /> The Partition case was settled by the court. Report approved, 1/5 to be paid to Elliott on his executing bond with security to be approved by you. Payment has not yet been made by Coultas, nor have the receipts of the parties been delivered to me. The Deeds yet remain in my hands & the amt paid by Hall & F.
