PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON THE PUNISH
MENT OF TREASON.
On several occasions since his inauguration,
President Johnson, in public remarks respon
sive to the addresses of committees, delega
tions, &c., has given expression to sentiments
which bode for the leaders of the rebellion any
thing but the flowery way out from the clutches
of justice, which they seem to have mapped out
for themselves. At the present juncture, his
views of the subject assume the utmost import
ance. As a specimen of the expression which
he has given to them, we extract the following
paragraphs from his reply to an address from
an Illinois delegation, headed by Governor
Oglesby.
Every era, said the President, teaches its
lesson. The times we live in are not without
instruction. The American people must be
taught—if they do hot already feel—that trea
son nOlt crime and must be punished; that the
Government will not always bear with its ene
mies ; that it is strong, not only to protect, but
to punish.. When we turn to the criminal code
and examine the catalogue of crimes, we there
find arson laid down as a crime, with its appro
priate penalty; we find there theft, and rob
bery, and murder given as crimes; there,
too, we find the last and highest of all crimes—
treason. With other and inferior offences our
people are familiar. But in our peaceful his
tory treason has been almost unknown. The
people must understand that it is the blackest
.of all crimes, and will be surely punished. I
snake this allusion not to excite the alreadAx
asperated feelings of the public, but to point
Out the principles of publie justice which should
guide our action at this particular juncture,
and which accord with sound public morals.
Let it be engraven on every heart that treason
is a crime, and traitors shall suffer its penalty.
While we are appalled, overwhelmed at the fall
of one man- in our midst by the hand of .a
traitor, shall we allow men—l care not by
what weapons—to attempt the life of the State
with impunity? While we strain our minds to
comprehend the enormity of this assassination,
shall we allow the nation to be assassinated?
I speak in no spirit of unkindness. I leave
the events of the future to be disposed of as
they arise, regarding myself as the humble in
strument of the American people. In this, as
in all things, justice and judgment shall be de
termined by them. Ido not harbor bitter or
revengeful feelings towards any. In general
terms I would say that public morals and public
opinions should be established upon the sure
and inflexible principles of justice. When the
question of exercising mercy comes before me
it will be considered calmly, judicially=re
membering that I am the executive of the
nation. I know men love to have their names
spoken of in connection with acts of mercy;
and how easy it is to yield 'to- this impulse.
But we must not forget that what may be
mercy to the individual is cruelty to the 'State.
In the exercise of mercy there should be no
doubt left that this high prerogative is not used
to relieve a few at the expense of the many.
..-Be assured that I shall never forget that I am
cot to consult my own feelings alone, but to
give an account to the whole people.
In regard to .my future course, I will now
make no professions, no pledges. I have been
connected soniewhat actively with public affairs,
and to the history of my past public acts, which
is familiar to you, I refer for 'those principles
which have governed me heretofore, and will
guide me hereafter. In general, I will say I
have long labored for the amelioration and ele
vation of the great mass of mankind. My
opinions as to the nature of popular _govern
ment have long been cherished and consti
tuted as I am, it is now too late in life for me
to change them. I believe that government
was made for man, not man for govermient.
This struggle of the people against the most
gigantic rebellion the world ever saw has de
monstrated that the attachment of the people
to their government is the strongest national
defense human wisdom can devise So longas
each man feels that the interests of the govern
ment are his interests, so long as_ the public
heart turns in the right direction, and the
people understand and appreciate the theory
of our government and love of liberty, our Con
stiintion will be transmitted unimpaired. If
the time ever comes when the people shall fail,
the government will fail, and we shall cease to
be one of the nations of the earth. After
having preserved our form of free goverument,
and shown its
. power to maintain its existence
through the vicissitudes of nearly a century, it
may be that it was necessary for us to pass
through this last ordeal of intestine strife to
prove that this government will not perish from
internal weakness, but will stand to defend
itself against all foes and punish treason . .
In the dealings of an inscrutable Providence.
and by the operation of the Constitution, I
have been thrown unexpectedly into this posi
tion. My past life, especially my course during
the present unholy rebellion, is before you; I
have no principles to retract. I defy any one
to point to any of my public acts at variance
with the fixed principles which have guided me
.through life. I haye no professions to offer.
Professions and promises would be worth
nothing:at this time* No one can foresee the
.circumstances that will hereafter arise. Had
any man gifted with prescience four years ago,
uttered and written down in advance the events
of this period, they would have seemed more
marvellous than any thing 'in the "Arabian
Nights." I shall not attempt to anticipate the
future.' Ad ;events occur, and it becomes"
necessary for me to act, I shall dispose of each
as it arises, deferring any declaration or mes
sage until it can be written paragraph by.para
graph in the light of events as they transpire.
THE SHERMAN AND JOHNSON NEW):
TIATION.
Sherman has again astonished the country
-this time quite as thoroughly, if not as pleas
antly, as on a former occasion. The facts, in
-few words, are these :
On the 18th instant, Generals Sherman and
Johnston, at Durham's Station, thirty-five miles
oortheast of Raleigh, N. C., agreed condition
ally
upon terms of amnesty. and armistice.
The principal points are the disbanding of the
rebel armies ; the recognition of the rebel State
governments; the guarantee of the political
rights of the Southern people, and a general
amnesty to all the rebels. Hostilities between
the two armies were suspended until the consent
-of the United States Government to the peace
-could be obtained, and forty-eight hours' notice
is to be given of the end of the truce. These
terms were received in Washington on the 21st
instant, and were unanimously disapproved in
a Cabinet meeting. General Grant was sent to
North Carolina, to execute the wishes of the
'government. It was ordered that hostilities be
at once renewed. Grant left Washington on
the 21st, and probably arrived at Sherman's
.camp on the 24th. Breckinridge, the rebel
War Secretary, was with Johnston on the 18th.
It seems scareely possible, in the face of Presi
dent Lincoln's known direction to General
Grant to have no interview with Lee . for the
:settlement of political questions, or for any
other purpose than that of the surrender of his
army, that Johnston could have expected the
abore terms. to be listened to at Washington.
His object was probably to gain a few days'
time, for the purpose of enabling Jeff Davis to
"escape - with his plunder of the Richmond
itianktr. As a part of the movement involved
the recall, by Gen. Sherman, of Gen. Stone
skean from Salisbury to join him, it is not im
probable that the arch-traitor has slipped
through the gap thus opened. Gen. Sherman,
in his „proper line, is a good peacemaker. The
country wall deeply regret that he stepped out
of it'and offered concessions which would only
befit the vanquished arms of the Union, in
stead of the close of a-brilliant and overwhelm
ing series of victories. The people are out
zaged by such inannelielinviorar.
OUR RECENT VICTORIES.
These are the capture of Mobile, with all the
surrounding works, putting us in final posses
sion of all the strongholds of the insurgents,
and the entire coast east of Texas : the capture
of Selma, Alabama, and also of Salisbury, N.
C. ; and lastly, of Raleigh, about the " last
ditch" of Johnston and his chief. Jeff Davis.
The heroes of these splendid achievements are
respectively, Canby, 'Wilson, Stoneman, and
Sherman. They have produced surprisingly
little impression upon the public mind, the ti
dings of them following so closely and so ex
pectedly upon the previous astounding triumphs,
and arriving at the moment when all the emo
tion which the nation could command was em
ployed in overwhelming sorrow for its great
calamity. At any other time such victories
would have created high enthusiasm, and se
cured the usual public rejoicings. In fact, as
an organized insurrection, the rebellion may
now be regarded as finished, Davis, without a
Congress or capital, being himself the sole
show of organization. All that remains of
rebel warfare is mere land piracy, and should
be treated as such. Why not offer a reward
for the arrest of Davis and all the leaders who
have not yet surrendered?
LATEST-TUESDAY.
President Johnson has appointed May 25th
a day of national humiliation for the death of
the late President. One of the first official
acts of the new Executive therefore, is of a
religious character,--Gen Halleek is ap
pointed to the'command of the Military Division
which embracei the. Department of Virginia,
the Army of the Potomac. and such part of
North Carolina as may not be occupied by the
command of Major-General Sherman.—Gen
Wilson captured Macon Ga, with Howell Cobb,
G W Smith and others, who claimed the ben
efit of Sherman's absurd armstice with Johnston
and have probably escaped.--Jeff Davis is
said to have got across the Mississippi with
half a million in specie.—Apiratical scheme
has been discovered in Toronto and frustrated
by the Canadian authorities.
THE MAINE LAW IN MAINE. - By the follow
ing, it will be seen that so far is the Maine Law
from proving a failure, it has actually been
before the Legislature now in session, and been
amended so as to make it more efficient:—
" Both branches have passed in concurrence an
amendment to the liquor law which makes any
person convicted of being a common seller pun
ishable by a fine of $lOO, and stand committed
until it is forthcoming. This is a re-enactment
of a clause in one of the sections of the Liquor
law of 1858. An old section of the law of 1846
has been incorporated into the present law,
which provides that all forfeitures and penalties
may be recovered by an action of debt, or by
complaint, before any justice of the peace, or
judge of any municipal or police court, in the
county where the offence has been committed.
The action may be brought in the, name of the
person prOsecuting, or in the town where the
offence was committed. One-half of the for
feiture to go to the prosecutor ,or comph4ant,
'who shall be - admitted as a witness at the trial;
the : other - half to the town.-
