(Private) Laclede Linn Co. Mo. April 29th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir: Although not personally acquainted with you, yet I have from boyhood - through our mutual friends the Browns of Jacksonville - heard "Dick Yates" often favorably spoken of as a Ken tuckian. As a brother Kentuckian I write you, and beg an answer - which shall be strictly private, or public as you may designate. The descendant of two Revolutionary grand sires, one of whom fought the British in Va & the other the Indians, with Bern, in Ky, I allow no man to excell me in devotion to the union, as cemented by the blood of our fathers; and yet I am what you call a Secefsion ist. Let me give you the reasons briefly. And in spea king for myself remember that it is the opinion of tens of thousands as true union hearts, in the border states, as [illegible]. We do not justify the secefsion of the Cotton States. Had the south remained with us Lincoln would have been powerlefs. But we believe he has seized on this rash act as a pretext for waging the "impofsible conflict" and that our only hope is an United South. If we believed that Mr Lincoln intended no infringement of our Con stitutional rights in slave property - that he intended to enforce the Constitution & the laws only, North as well as <hr /> South, Secefsion would not have a corporals guard in the border States. We know he has made many broad declarations to that effect; but when we remem ber that in '58 he said "This country cannot remain half slave half free". That is, that it could not endure as our fathers made it. That "nothing would satisfy his party but to see slavery in a procefs of ultimate extinction." That "no man hates slavery more than I do". Well if he hates it as bad as the ultra Abolitionists he is ready to over ride the Constitution to abolish it. When we remember that since his election he has pointed to those speeches & gave them as a basis of his policy & worst of all when we see that, he, the sworn defender of the Cons titution, has appointed hundreds Ultra-Abolitionists to office who are implacable enemies of that consti tution & who will not obey it, so far as slavery is concerned. And lastly when we saw that your party in Congrefs sneered & scorned at the efforts of Doug las Crittenden & others for compromise & that now the Administration is plunging the country in an unholy war that can never cement the Union as one of free people: but may do so as a despo tic government, what can we believe but that the North intends waging the "impofsible conflict" even to the extermination of us. With these views, that is, that Mr Lincoln has <hr /> disrupted the government & that his party, a powerful majority, have got the reigns and intend over riding the Constitutional rights of the South, can you blame us for saying you are the true secessionists & that we will defend ourselves from your aggrefsions? If Mr Lincoln could satisfy the border states that he did not intend this he would not have a cor perals guard to fight among us : and then if your party would only give a compromise equivalent to Crittendens - by which practically you would not lose an inch of territory to slavery - you would raise up a union party in the Seceded states that would bring them back in two years without a drop of blood But you say you cant do this without yielding from principle. Did not our forefathers yield principles & interest to form our Union? Was it not the work of compromise? And now my dear Sir is it not the work of patriotism & of mercy & of manlinefs, for the powerful party to forbear and save the Union from such horrors as the world has never witnefsed? I am told the cry in your state is to be turned loose on the south "& blood [Bleed?]". We here have no desire to invade Illinois & lay waste your beautiful country but we are ready to protect it from an invading enemy. Then let us as brothers do every thing to prevent blood <hr /> shed - give the excited passions of both sides time to subside and try and save our beloved country. Did you ever have a fight with a brother? If so I know you are heartily ashamed of it now & see the folly of the act. With my truly ardent wishes for peace & unity - I am my Dear Sir Respectfully Your fellow Citizen N. W. Harris <hr /> N.W.

Laclede Linn Co Mo July 23d 1861 Gov Yates Dear Sir: Ardent, impetuous, often wrong, but always intending wright, I feel that I owe you an apology for not believing your statement that this war is simply to put down Rebellion & not for the extinguishment of slavery. I never for a moment doubted your sincerity but beleived you were deceived in the intentions of the administration. Since then I and a number of others of my county - through the false representations of some malicious persons - were taken prisoners sent to St [L?] - kept there a few days - then sent to Palmyra where I was discharged by Col Smith 14th Ill. The others sent to Quincy kept a few days & discharged by Col Palmer - no charges appearing against us. In all this round I had numerous conversations with the officers & became convinced that you were right & I wrong in my convictions. They all declare that they would have nothing to do with the war if my opinion was correct. We of the south were led into this error by designing politicians & some of your northern Democratic papers conjoined by the ranting <hr /> of the Abolitionists; whose declarations we took as an expression of the Northern sentiment. I was a conditional secessionist - wanted our gov & legislature to arm the state & the convention to secede if we found our constitutional rights were to be invaded but as the issue was tried in our election of the convention & the action of that body was for unconditional union I felt myself bound, as a good citizen by it. Hence when our governor & legislature undertook to take the state out the Union by the military bill I could not endorse the act knowing that they were not empowered to do such an act for the people of the state of Mo : and that our convention was yet in existence & could pass an ordinance of secession if it became necessary to do so to protect our constitutional rights. Notwithstanding the opinion of many to the contrary, I see nothing in the acts of the Federal government in Mo infringing on our rights & as I have become convinced that the government intends simply to do justice to all sections, I can truly say that I am no longer a Conditional Secessionist but a Union man: In fact I feel bound to this course by the acts of our convention, in any <hr /> event as it was selected to determine that great issue for us. When the President first called for troops I was panic stricken & was anxious for our governor to arm the state beleiving that the Convention would meet & secede. As it did not (& acted wisely in not so doing) I did not & never can give my consent or aid to the Rebellion of Gov Jackson. I have just heard of the deplorable fight at Manassas. It makes my blood run cold to hear of such slaughter of brave Americans. Oh God can not something be done to stop this terrible war! I think Congress should pass a resolution similar to the one offered by Mr Breckenridge & rejected a few days ago. If it would do so the south should immediately lay down her arms; if she did not she would have no excuse. The kind gentlemany treatment of Cols Smith & Palmer & their officers has been salutary with myself & neighbors & is doing more to put down secession than brutal treatment or bullets could. I feel satisfied that none of the sixteen will ever do aught against the government - I know that we from our hearts condemn this [miserable?] <hr /> guerilla war & bridge burning in Mo and am happy to state that no outrage of the kind has been committed in our county. Hoping that you will bring your influence to bear to bring this destructive contest to as speedy an end as possible consistent with justice to all parties I am Sir Respectfully your fellow Citizen N.
