<p>Chicago March 24 / 62.
</p><p>My Dear Govr.
</p><p>You need have no fears as to the course which the Tribune will pursue in regard to the constitution.
</p><p>I had an interview of three hours with Medill this morning. He will oppose the [illegible] constitution in the columns of the Tribune & otherwise by every means in his power.
</p><p>I have also conversed with several leading Republicans, & find that there is a stern & fixed determination that the constitution must be defeated. No effort will
</p>
<hr />
<p>be spared in this city to accomplish this result.
</p><p>Plans have already been devised to combine all the railroad interest against it.
</p><p>It is also proposed to subsidize the [entire?] democratic Press of this city, & to some extent, that of the state.
</p><p>Medill & others think that there is some prospect that the Times & Post may be brought into active opposition by concentrating the railroad influence & bringing it to bear upon them.
</p><p>In short, every thing looks fair in this city at the present moment. If the vote could be taken tomorrow it would be almost solid against
</p>
<hr />
<p>the iniquity.
</p><p>Allow me the liberty of suggesting that if you design to be a candidate for senator it would be decidedly advisable to procure pledges from at least a majority of Rep. members before the session is called.
</p><p>If you await their arrival in Springfield before securing their support adverse influences will be brought to bear upon the [illegible] the moment the session is called until the election takes place.
</p><p>Now they are probably unpledged & can be much more easily influenced in your favor than at any other period.
</p><p>I have not felt at liberty
</p>
<hr />
<p>to state to any one that you was a candidate, although I have stated it as my opinion that you would not object.
</p><p>Mr Medill will probably visit you in a few days. I requested him to do so.
</p><p>By all means secure his influence, if within the bounds of possibility
</p><p>An open advocacy of your claims by the Tribune would influence many members in this part of the State.
</p><p>I felt of Medill cautiously but found I was tracking on dangerous ground & backed out without committing
</p>
<hr />
<p>myself. Medill approves of the plan of calling the Legislature together & bringing back Jayne, Bester et al. He thinks that Lincoln will certainly cooperate in the movement & will reappoint them, or give them other positions, after the work is done.
</p><p>The difficulty suggested by Mr Hatch, that the military officers could not, under a rule of the War department, be reappointed, can be obviated by a change or rescission of of the rule.
</p><p>If there are any members in this part of the state, particularly in 1st & 2d Dist's
</p>
<hr />
<p>that you desire me to see in relation to the senatorship please advise me, & mention particularly the points which should be made, or in other words the strings to pull, & I will endeavor to make some business in this vicinity & casually call & see them.
</p><p>Please give my kind regards to the state officers
</p><p>Very truly yours

<p>THIRTY SEVENTH CONGRESS
</p><p>HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
</p><p>UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
</p><p>Washington City March 25 1862
</p><p>Gov. Richard Yates
</p><p>Dear Sir,
</p><p>The communication of the Governor of Indiana in regard to the lowering of the dam of the Calumet feeder to the Illinois & Michigan canal has been forwarded to me as the attorney of the Board. I have given the subject much consideration, & believe I can satisfy the Governor of Indiana that Illinois has a legal right to maintain the dam. My brief & papers on the subject are at Chicago. Will you please advise the Gov. Morton that the papers are
</p>
<hr />
<p>referred to me, & ask him to postpone any action until adjournment of Congress, or at least until I could go to Chicago & obtain my papers.
</p><p>I hope the passage of the bill providing for the enlargement of the canal, & the early completion of the work, making Lake Michigan the feeder, will render this Calumet feeder of little importance. But until this is done, it is of very great importance. Please advise me of reply of Gov. Morton as early as convenient.
</p><p>Very Truly Yours
</p><p>Isaac N. Arnold
</p><p>Atty for Board of Canal Trustees

<p>Springfield March 28th 1862.
</p><p>To his Excellency Gov. Yates
</p><p>Sir.
</p><p>I have learned from my brother of your purpose to make an effort to obtain for him a position in the Government service. Permit me to say that nothing could be more gratifying to me than your success in this endeavour; and also to ask, for his sake - which I can do without stammering or hot flashes in the cheek - that you give this matter such a place in your memory that the pressure of more important ones will not crowd it out. I can but beleive that the prompter of this kindness to him was an appreciation of his merit, which I feel confident will grow with you as he has opportunity to make more manifest his accuracy and fidelity in business and his gratitude to one who has once befriended him. I am
</p>
<hr />
<p>sorry that I cannot show you how much I shall be rejoiced with his good fortune by having something to sacrifice in his behalf. But if I had been so fortunate as to have served you and the public as to have created claim to your consideration, you could in no way so gratefully and completely cancel them as by bestowing a benefit upon him. I once besought you on my own account. You frankly put me aside for your brother, and I am one of the number who approve and honor that action, for I hear his worthiness confirmed by other mouths than yours. In these stormy times you have done much to command the admiration and gratitude of your countryman, but nothing that raises you so high in my estimation as the moral courage which braves the public fling for the sake of justice to your brother.
</p><p>I am, Sir, very respectfully
