A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas the laws of the United States
have been for some time past and now are
opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed
in the States of South Carolina,- Georgia) Ala*-
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas,-by combinations too poweiful to be
suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings or by tbe powers vested in the
marshals by law.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of tbe United States, in virtue of the
power in me, vested by the Constitution and
the the laws, have thought fit to call forth the
militia of tbe several States of the Union to
tbe aggregate number of 75.000, in order to
suppress sa <1 combinations ahd to cause tbe
laws to be duly executed.
The details for this object will be immedi
ately communicated to the State authorities
through the War Departmunt.
I appeal to all loyal citizens to favbr, facili
tate and aid this effort to maintain the honor,
the integrity and the existence of our National
Union, and the perpetuity of popular Govern
ment, and to redress wrongs already long
enough < ndured.
I deem it piopcr to say that the first services
assigned to the forces hereby call' d out will
be to repossess the Forts, places and property
which have been seized from the Uiron, and
in every event the nthtost cate will be observ
ed consistently with tbe objects aforesaid, to
avoid any devastation and destruction of or
interfe: cnee with property, or any disturbance
of peacc'ul citizens in any part of the country
and I hereby command the persons composing
the combinations aforesaid to retire peaccfnliy
to their respective abodes within twenty days
from this date.
Dooming that the present condition of pub
lic affairs presents an extraordinarv occasion,
I do hereby, in virtue of the powers in me ves
ted by the Constitution, convene both Houses
' of Congress, Senators and Representatives, are
| therefore summoned to assemble at their respec
• tive chambers, at twelve o’clock noon, on
'lhnrsday the 4th day of July next, then and
there to consider and determine such measures
as in their wisdom the public safety and inter
est may seem to demand.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be allixed Done at tho (Sty of Washing
ton this 15th <1 iv of April, in the year of our
L >rd One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty
