Exeter N.H. Dec. 21. 1860 Hon. R. Yates, My Dear Sir: My modesty is somewhat shocked by sending you the accompanying papers, yet I will do it. A paper signed by the Delegates to Chicago will be sent in a few days. I take occasion to allow you, confidentially, to see the letter sent me by Mr. Giddings; showing that the extreme free-soilers might be satisfied with my selection. Besides I have pride in possessing the confidence and good will as such a man as Mr. Giddings, who seldom proposes his individual influence for office, for any man. Mr. Fogg, of whom Mr. G. speaks is known to Mr. Lincoln, and assures me that he wishes me in the Cabinet, rather than any other man in N. England. Mr. Tullock, our Sec. State, is very hearty in his appreciation, and gives <hr /> some evidence, respecting Mr. Hamlin's feelings. I have been offered a recommendation from the Delegates from Maine to Chicago, by one of the Delegates who proposed to procure them, but I declined to have any solicitation exerted in my behalf. I presume Mr. Hale would not be anxious for my selection, though he would not oppose it. He knows that my views of discreet behavior in the Senate by himself, have sometimes differed from his. I think he has not talked wisely this session of Congress. I think it well, that Mr. Lincoln should see these papers soon, yet I do not wish him to be incumbered by them, if his judgment, for any cause, directs him elsewhere. I think of being in Chicago in a week, but do not feel free to visit Mr. Lincoln, lest in his estimation I fall into the Common Mass of officeseekers.

Copy An Act to provide for the prosecution of the necessary judicial proceedings to procure the removal of the feeder dam erected across the Calumet River, in the State of Illinois, and for the payment of the expense of such proceeding. (Approved March 9. 1861.) Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That the Attorney General be, and he is hereby authorized to commence and prosecute to final judgment, such judicial proceedings as in his opinion are, or may be necessary for the purpose of procuring the abatement and removal of the feeder dam erected by authority of the State of Illinois across the Calumet River, for the purpose of supplying water to the Illinois and Michigan Canal, or of procuring the height of said dam to be reduced so that it will not cause the waters of said riverto overflow any lands in the State of Indiana. Sec 2. If in the opinion of the Attorney General it shall be proper and expedient to do so, the State of Indiana may be made plaintiff, alone or jointly, with one or more citizens of this State, in any judicial proceeding contemplated by the first section of this act, or such proceedings may be prosecuted in the name of one or more citizens of this State as plaintiffs, without making the State a co-plaintiff, and such proceedings may be instituted and prosecuted against any person <hr /> or persons, body corporate or politic, which may be a proper party thereto, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Sec. 3. Before any judicial proceedings shall be commenced in pursuance of this act, it shall be the duty of the Governor to endeavor, by application, to be made as soon as practicable, to the proper authorities of the State of Illinois, to procure the abatement of said dam without suit, and in the event of failure on the part of the Governor to procure the same to be abated, then the Attorney General is authorized to enter into an agreement for the abatement of said dam within one year from the time the Governor shall apply for its removal, as above provided. Such agreement shall be between the State of Indiana and the State of Illinois, or the proper officer or officers thereof. Sec. 4 If a satisfactory agreement cannot be made as provided for in the proceeding section, then the Attorney General shall commence suit immediately, as provided in the first and section sections of this act.
