Chilliothe, Ohio. 12 Dec. 1860. Hon. Richard Yates, Dear Sir, I received a few days since a copy of your Speech delivered at Springfield, Illinois, on the 20. Nov. and beleiving that it came from your friendly hand, I write you a few lines in answer therein. I congratulate you on your election to the office of Governor of Illinois, and from my acquaintance with you when we were in Congress together, I feel assured that you will discharge the duties of that high office faithfully, and with a view to the good of your State, and the whole Country. I am not a Republican; but still adhere to my old Henry Clay - Whig principles, and have taken no active part in politicks for the last five years. My reasons for abstaining from any active efforts, are, and have been, that I could not approve of any organizations of political parties, that I thought were sectional in their character; whether they were at the South or North; believing <hr /> from the final disruption of the Whig Party, and their organizing on Know Nothings & Republicans, that such organizations would eventually bring about the present deplorable state of things. I am as one that most of my Whig friends, thought differently, and though I could not shape my judgment to suit their opinions, I have always in voting, aimed to select good Whigs, without regard to sectional organizations. I voted for Bell and Everett: at the same time, I have a high regard for Mr. Lincoln, and thought the Republican Party made a long step in advance of the ultra form criticism of the day, when they nominated him. I am not anti-slavery or pro slavery is my political opinion but entirely National; can I greatly deplore the present seeming [interferism?] of the two great sections of our country. We ought to live in peace and perpetual union, and it has always been my Opinion that this could only be done, by avoiding any interference by Word or deed with the domestick concerns of Our Neighbours in the South. "Abolition & Union cannot long Coexist." <hr /> And though I beleive that 19/20 of the Northern people do not desire to interfere with slavery in the Southern States, yet the South believes that a very large majority of the Northern People, do introfere with them, and indirectly promote insurrection and insubordination; and hence their almost-unanimous excited feeling about the present state of things. I think, and have so said to many of my Southern friends, that Mr. Lincoln would make a good & conservative President of the Nation & not of a party, even if he should disappoint the very ultra men amongst his supporters. But you are, and we all see, that we are apparently on the very brink of distinction as a Nation, and every good man now with, what can be done to prevent Desension, & preserve Our Republic? I am willing to concede any and every [Conoful?] thing, for the sake of Peace and to preserve the Union; now what ought to be done or can be done, Should be done speedily to prevent the first false steps of our excited Southern friends: Otherwise, all will be lost With my best wishes for <hr /> your health & prosperity, I am Your friend & servant, John L Taylor P. S. I am contentedly engaged in my professional business, as a Lawyer; and as I cannot change my Whig principles at my time of life, I do not expect to take any active part in politicks.

After finishing school, he moved Chicago to live and practice law. He became interested in constitutional revision in the 1940’s and worked diligently for it, pleading before the Illinois Senate Executive Committee in 1947 and the House of Representatives in 1949. He was actively involved in getting the 1950 “Gateway Amendment” passed which made it easier to amend the constitution. He was the state chairman for the Committee for Constitutional Revision from 1950-1957. Witwer ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1960, losing to Paul H. Douglas. In 1968 when the voters favored a constitution convention, Witwer was elected as a delegate and then chosen by a 109 to 0 vote of delegates to act as its president. The convention succeeded in drafting a new constitution which was then passed by a large majority of the voters. Witwer was also involved in civic organizations in Chicago. He was a director of the Chicago Urban League, the Citizens for a Greater Chicago and the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. He was a member of the Chicago Union League Club, which gave him an award in 1954 for civic service. The magazine Chicago recognized him as one of the “five builders of Chicago” in 1954 and the Church Federation of Greater Chicago selected him as “one of three Chicago laymen of the year” in 1956. In 1969 the Citizens of Greater Chicago gave him their award of merit.  The finding aid for the Samuel Witwer Papers, 1946-1977 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/697.

Head Quarters Co. E. 6th Ills. Cav. LaGrange Tenn. Feb. 15, 1863. A. Kitchell, Dear Sir. I have for some time been indulging myself, with the wish to try the experiment of rais a Regment of Negros, and drill them for the service. This with many at home. I know would be a vary unpoplar undertaking. But at the first braking out of this rebelian. I started out to do all that was in my power to put it down. And I now am prepared to use every means. that will kill a trator. It is now almost one year since I came into the Slave States, and have been imployed the greater part of the time in Scouting. which has thrown me in constant communication with the Negros. And I have been induced to believe that they can be made avalible as Solders. I think that it is the true policy for the government to use every means that it can <hr /> to protect the lives of its white citizens. and the Government will be weakened less by the loss of three negros than it would be by the loss of one white man. This is my opinion it my be erronious. My health has become such that I fear that I will not be able to withstand the hardships of the Cavlery Service much longer. Is one reson for my wishing to make this change of Sirvice. And an other I think that I can do more good by organising a thousand ineffective men and making them usefull Solders than I can by commanding an old and well drilled company. To enable me to set about this enterprise I must have an order from the war department. And this will have to be obtained through some influencial friend. You know that all of my friends are opposed to the Negros being brought into the service. The assistance of Gov. Yates would be of great adventige. If you will lend me what assistance you can I will try to do my duty. is all the <hr /> promice that I will make least I should break it. Yours John Lynch, Capt. Cam. Co. E. 6th Redgt. Ills. Cav.
