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 one, and of the In dependence of the United States the Eighty tilth.
