Yours, very Respectfully, Alex. W. Randall. <hr /> State of Wisconsin Joint Resolutions, No. 28. Relating to the New Administration just Inaugurated. Whereas, A new Administration of the Government has been inaugurated under circumstances of peculiar embarassment, with a dissatisfied People in one portion of the Union, seeming to hate the Union itself: And Whereas, The peace and prosperity of the Union depends upon its perpetuity, and its perpetuity depends upon the firmness and integrity of the Administration of the Government, sustained by a law=abiding, loyal and Union=loving People: And Whereas, The Inaugural Address of President Lincoln gives abundant evidence that he possesses that ability and firmness that will restore peace and prosperity to our beloved Union, by a strict adherence to all requirements of the Constitution and the Laws, showing favor to no one section of the Union over another, Therefore, Resolved, By the Assembly, the Senate concurring, That in the Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln, we recognize the words of a true Patriot and the sagacious Statesman, and that we hail it as an omen that the Government of this Country is to be restored to its original purity, as founded by the Father of his Country, assisted by his Compatriots of Revolutionary memory. Resolved, That, in the language of the Inaugural, "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle field and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better Angels of our nature." Resolved, That we pledge the faith of the People of Wsiconsin, to aid the President of the United States in carrying out the principles indicated in his Inaugural Address to the fullest extent, putting into the scale, if need be, "Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward copies of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the President of the United States, to the Governor of each State in the Union, and to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress.

If it is desirable to preserve the party here his wishes in relation to the post office at this place must be defeated. Munn is considered here by all the old, substantial men of the party as a political adventurer. There are two brothers trying to figure here, one a professed Democrat the other a Republican, and all their movements are in concert. We believe you can have great influence in the matter, and hope you will have no delicacy in aiding us in the matter.

Cincinnati March 5th 1861: Hon. Richard Yates Governor of State Springfield Ill. Dear Sir! Having had the honor of making your acquaintance at St. Louis & Jacksonville, as you will perhaps recollect, during the excited but interesting campaign which is now behind us, and having been treated by you with a kindness and distinction which I have not forgotten, I may perhaps be excused for addressing these few lines to you in a matter in which I am personally interested. I have tried, as you kindly gave me credit for, to do the best I could, to promote the republican cause in Illinois. Whether I was successful in my efforts or not; whether I have made the impressions and wrought the changes which I desired to make and to work, I must leave to those to determine who remained there after I had gone. At all events I have endeavored to be useful, and, wherever I spoke in your state, our friends gave me the assurances that they considered themselves under obligations to me for what I had done. Whether this was a mere complimentary phrase, or whether it was intended to mean something, I must, again, leave to others to determine. But it may be that the time has <hr /> come, when I may take the liberty of calling on those friends with the request to redeem their assurances. I am not an applicant for anything; for, if my services to the republican party should not entitle me to be recognized, I would have too much self-esteem to ask for any favors. But I desire to place the administration in possession of the facts at least, so that it may be able to appreciate whatever little value my services might have had. I do not think that it will be immodest on my part, if I ask our friends in the states which I have canvassed during the campaign, to say (by letter or otherwise) whether they consider that I have benefitted the republican cause in their respective states, and to what extent they think that I have done so. Am I entitled to such a testimonial at the hands of the republicans of Illinois? To you as their standard bearer I leave the decision of this question. If you should feel disposed to answer it in the affirmative would you be willing to say so in a letter to the President? If, however, you should come to the conclusion to answer it in the negative: I hope you will treat this letter as a private one, and dismiss the subject from your further consideration. In either event you may rest assured that those feelings of high regard <hr /> which I have entertained for you, ever since we first met, will remain unchanged, and that our short, but pleasant meeting, will retain its place among my most agreeable reminiscences. Your truly F. Hassaurek P.S. I may add here that the Republicans of Ohio & Indiana have put me in possession of the most flattering endorsements; and it is a matter of great importance to me, to ascertain whether the Republicans of Illinois consider the services which I have performed in their state, to be deserving of an endorsement. <hr /> F.

Belvidere March 4, 1861 Governor Yates My Dear Sir: I was much dissappointed at not meeting you at Chicago last Thursday evening according to appointment. The reception of Green and Banks was a splendid affair. There was however a universal regret that you failed to be there. You have no better friends in the state than in Chicago and you must go there and see them when you return from Washington. That promised visit of yours and Mrs Yates at Chicago and here when you return must be made and I calculate much upon it. I will not weary you with professions of friendship nor by a repetition of assurances of the pride I feel in you now being surrounded by your former friends at Washington. No Governor at Washington or elsewhere occupies the proud and enviable position you do to day & I repeat God bless you Richard Yates. I have no fulsome praise or flattery for your ear or eye but I have this to claim for myself and that is that <hr /> (2) I am your unselfish friend. I know I hold an office at your hands and the fear that you have been embarassed in making it makes me daily regret that I have accepted it. This is no idle statement but Gods truth. You might have made other friends without looseing one by a different appointment. I can only promise you I will not disgrace your administration and when a few weeks or perhaps months of these troublesome times shall have passed I will return you that commission with as much of sincere respect and honorable regard as though you had conferred a bounty on me for life. Believe this and await my best efforts to do something which shall merit your approval. I shall go again to Chicago to-morrow. I am now engaged in ascertaining the history of the Banks in the state (and each one has a history) with the view of ridding the state of the intolerable curse of those who deserve no protection.
