Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Late Addresses of Abraham Lincoln, 1861-1865: Messages to Congress, 1864
The Message of the President, which was yesterday delivered to both Houses of Congress, is, as all Mr. Lincoln's state papers are, a st-raight-ibrward and businesslike document. It gives to Congress and the country a condensed hut methodical statement of our National aifairs in all their foreign and domestic relations, and in a style so plain and brief that it is certain to be universally read and universally understood.
In our foreign relations there is nothing, ' to cause the slightest apprehension for the future, nor is any change intimated, except in relation to the Treaty with Great Britain as to the increase of our naval armament upon the Lakes. But the necessity for the stipulated notice for the termination of the Treat y arises, not from any hostility in the attitude of Great Britain, huti to guard our own border more efi'eetually froin'lwstile incursions, in that direction, from Southern Rebels.
