TO　GOVERNOR　MAGOFFIN；



WASHINGTON；　D。C。；　AUGUST　24；　1861



To　HIS　EXCELLENCY　B。　MAGOFFIN；

Governor　of　the　State　of　Kentucky。



SIR：Your　letter　of　the　19th　instant；　in　which　you　urge　the　removal

from　the　limits　of　Kentucky　of　the　military　force　now　organized　and

in　camp　within　that　State；〃　is　received。



I　may　not　possess　full　and　precisely　accurate　knowledge　upon　this

subject；　but　I　believe　it　is　true　that　there　is　a　military　force　in

camp　within　Kentucky；　acting　by　authority　of　the　United　States；　which

force　is　not　very　large；　and　is　not　now　being　augmented。



I　also　believe　that　some　arms　have　been　furnished　to　this　force　by

the　United　States。



I　also　believe　this　force　consists　exclusively　of　Kentuckians；　having

their　camp　in　the　immediate　vicinity　of　their　own　homes；　and　not

assailing　or　menacing　any　of　the　good　people　of　Kentucky。



In　all　I　have　done　in　the　premises　I　have　acted　upon　the　urgent

solicitation　of　many　Kentuckians；　and　in　accordance　with　what　I

believed；　and　still　believe；　to　be　the　wish　of　a　majority　of　all　the

Union…loving　people　of　Kentucky。



While　I　have　conversed　on　this　subject　with　many　eminent　men　of

Kentucky；　including　a　large　majority　of　her　members　of　Congress；　I　do

not　remember　that　any　one　of　them；　or　any　other　person；　except　your

Excellency　and　the　bearers　of　your　Excellency's　letter；　has　urged　me

to　remove　the　military　force　from　Kentucky　or　to　disband　it。　　One

other　very　worthy　citizen　of　Kentucky　did　solicit　me　to　have　the

augmenting　of　the　force　suspended　for　a　time。



Taking　all　the　means　within　my　reach　to　form　a　judgment；　I　do　not

believe　it　is　the　popular　wish　of　Kentucky　that　this　force　shall　be

removed　beyond　her　limits；　and；　with　this　impression；　I　must

respectfully　decline　to　so　remove　it。



I　most　cordially　sympathize　with　your　Excellency　in　the　wish　to

preserve　the　peace　of　my　own　native　State；　Kentucky。　　It　is　with

regret　I　search
