Lincoln: I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.
If he were unhappy with it, he would have said so. I think he was happy with it. Read the link I provided that discussed Lincoln's apparent involvement with and possible instigation of the Corwin Amendment through Seward.

Lemme take a crack at it. President Lincoln, in his First Inaugural Address, stated that he had no objection to the Corwin Amendment becoming express and irrevocable. Now, was that so hard? Note that President Lincoln decidedly and emphatically, did not (as you first stated) say, “I am happy with Slavery being made express and irrevocable”. You see, pretty much everything leading up to the Civil War was an effort to avert its inevitability. The Corwin Amendment was one among many legislative efforts to placate the Slaveowners. I would think that any States Rights advocate should be “happy” that President Lincoln made the statement. The purpose of the proposed Corwin Amendment was to remove the central/federal government from any power to speak to the legality of Slavery in any State. It was meant to make Slavery strictly a States Rights issue. Ironic, huh?
