RE: If Lincoln had not died
Since the Constitution provides for suspension of the writ, I don't see how it "goes clearly against the fundamental principles of our government." Also, most presidents would argue, as many on both sides of the fence have with the War Powers Act, that they have the right to suspend the writ as Lincoln did.

As for executive orders, they have been used since the 1700s by both sides of the political divide. The concern seems to come when it's something someone doesn't agree with.

Best
