More from Abraham Lincoln
He could not but congratulate all present, himself, the country and the whole world upon this great moral victory.
In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 13th ultimo, requesting information upon the present condition of Mexico and the case of the French war transport steamer Rhine, I transmit a report from the Secretary of State and the papers by which it was accompanied.
And this result, so far from being bad faith to Vermont, is indispensable to keeping good faith with New Hampshire.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
