against the authority of the United States are insurrectionary or revolutionary, according to circumstances.
或几州的反对合众国当局的暴力行为,都可以依据具体情况视为叛乱或革命行为。
I therefore consider that in view of the Constitution and the laws the Union is unbroken, and to the extent of my ability,

the American people, shall withhold the requisite means or in some authoritative manner direct the contrary.
除非我的合法的主人美国人民,收回赋予我的不可缺少的工具,或行使他们的权威,命令我采取相反的行动。
I trust this will not be regarded as a menace, but only as the declared purpose of the Union that it will constitutionally defend and maintain itself.

While the strict legal right may exist in the Government to enforce the exercise of these offices,
尽管按严格的法律规定,政府有权强制履行这些职责,但一定要那样做,
the attempt to do so would be so irritating and so nearly impracticable withal that I deem it better to forego for the time the uses of such offices.
