TO　GOVERNOR　SHEPLEY。



EXECUTIVE　MANSION；　WASHINGTON；

November　21；　1862。



HON。　G。　F。　SHEPLEY。



DEAR　SIR：Dr。　Kennedy；　bearer　of　this；　has　some　apprehension　that

Federal　officers　not　citizens　of　Louisiana　may　be　set　up　as

candidates　for　Congress　in　that　State。　　In　my　view　there　could　be　no

possible　object　in　such　an　election。　　We　do　not　particularly　need

members　of　Congress　from　there　to　enable　us　to　get　along　with

legislation　here。　　What　we　do　want　is　the　conclusive　evidence　that

respectable　citizens　of　Louisiana　are　willing　to　be　members　of

Congress　and　to　swear　support　to　the　Constitution；　and　that　other

respectable　citizens　there　are　willing　to　vote　for　them　and　send

them。　　To　send　a　parcel　of　Northern　men　here　as　representatives；

elected；　as　would　be　　understood　（and　perhaps　really　so）；　at　the

point　of　the　bayonet；　would　be　disgusting　and　outrageous；　and　were　I

a　member　of　Congress　here；　I　would　vote　against　admitting　any　such

man　to　a　seat。



Yours　very　truly；



A。　LINCOLN；

impedimenta　has　been；　so　far；　almost　our　ruin；　and　will　be　our　final

ruin　if　it　is　not　abandoned。　　If　you　had　the　articles　of　this

requisition　upon　the　wharf；　with　the　necessary　animals　to　make　them

of　any　use；　and　forage　for　the　animals；　you　could　not　get　vessels

together　in　two　weeks　to　carry　the　whole；　to　say　nothing　of　your

twenty　thousand　men；　and；　having　the　vessels；　you　could　not　put　the

cargoes　aboard　in　two　wee
