President Lincoln meant that the primary goal of the Union is to protect and preserve its constitutional framework. He believed that the Constitution was the foundation of the nation and it was the duty of the government to uphold and defend it. Lincoln's emphasis on the "declared purpose" suggests that maintaining the Union was a fundamental principle that should not be compromised.
