Hon. Itevcrdy .JoIiuhoii'm Speech.
Mr. l'rusUlent : We are before you as a Commit tee
ol the ..National Union Convention which met in
l'hiludelphia on Tuesday, the 14th insi., cuareed
w.ih tne outy of preaeimna you with an authentic

the Convention wns called, in the eiiiinisiasm witn
which, iu every Mute and Terntory, too call was
responded to, in the unbroken Harmony ot ite div
libera. iont, iu the unanimity with which the prin
ciples it nns declared were ..coptcd, aud moro espu
ciullv iu the putriotio and . consul utionul c laractor
ol the principles themselves, we are contident that
yon ana the country will Hi d praiilvini; and cheer
inir evidence that tli'To exists nmoufr tin; people a
public sentiment which renders an earl v and com
plete re't.orulion ol the Union, as established by
the Constitution, certain aud inevitable
Party taction, set km? the continuance ot its mis
rule, may momentarily delay it, but tho principles of
political liberty, lor which our lui tiers succvsauily
contendtd. and to sccuro which they adopted the
Constitution, are so K.armgly inccnsmteut with tho
condition in which the countiy but been placed by
tiuch misruic, that it will not bo per ma tod a much
longer uuratiou. Wo wihii, Jlr. 1 resident, you could
bavo witiiew-ed the spirit of concord and orouierly
atl'cctiou which animated every member oi the Con
vention. Cireut as your confidence ever his been iu
the Intelligence uud patriotism ot your tellow-citi-zona
in Heir deep devotion to tho Union, and thoir
piesont uetirminution to reinstate uud maintain it,
that conlidtncc would have become a positive con
viction coulu you have seen and heard u.l tuat was
doi e and saiu upon the occasion.
Every heart wu evidcntl)' full of joy, every
eye beamed with patriotic animation; despond
ency vuve place to llio a-suraucj that our late
dreadlul civil stritc ended the eacetul roijfn oi
peace, under tbo protection, not ol arms, but the
Constitution and laws, would Imv.i sway, and
be in every part oi our lund clioerlullv acknow
ledged, and in i cru et pood iuitli obeyed, you
would not have doubted thut the recurrence of
dangerous domestic disensions in the future
are not to be apprehended. If you could have
seen the men ot .Viaeachusetig and South Caro
lina comiiitt into tho Convention, on the lirat
day of its meeting, baud in bund, amidst tho
rapturous applause ot tho wbolo body,
owaUcnn g my hearticH pratilicuiion at the event,
filling the eves ot t norlands with tears of jjy,
which they neither coutd nor desired to suppress,
you would have telt, as cveiy per so J present felt,
that tbo lime had arrived when all sectional or other
perilous diBsens ous had ceased, and that nothing
tthonld be heard in the luture but tho voice oj Har
mony, proclaiming devotion to a common country
ol pruio iu boiutf bound together by a common
Union, existing uud pioiectud hv forms of govern
ment proved bv experience to De eminent. y fitted
1 or the exigt iicicb ot either war or peace.
Jn tbe principles announced by the Convention,
aud in lhelceliiig there manilestca. we have every
assurance that hajniouy throughout our entire laud
will soon prevail. We know that, as in former days,
as was eloquently declared by Webster, tho nation's
most gil.cd statesman', Massachusetts uud South
Carolina went "shoulder to shoulder through tho
devolution," and stood band in nand around tho
Ac ministration of Washington, aud telt his owa
treat arm lean on them tor suppoit, so will tncy
again, wi.h line nagnammity, devotion, aud
power, Btaud around your Administration and
.cause you to leel that you may also lean on them
lor support. In tho proceedings, Mr. President,
which tie ure to place in your bands, you will
lird that the Convention performed the grateful
duty imposed upon them by their knowledge of
your "devotion to tho Constitution, and laws, aud
interests of your country," bb illustrated by your
entire Presidential career, ot declaring that in you
tbey "recognize, a ciiiot magistrate worthy ot tbe
nation, and loyal to the great crisis upon which your
lot is cast," and m this declaration it gives us marked
Iileasure to udd we ure contidi-ntthai the Convention
las but spoken tbo intelligent uud patriotic tenti
nient ot the country. Ever inaccessible to the low
influences which often control tbe mere parti
san, and governing mono by an honest opinion
ot constitutional obligations and rights, and of the
duty ot looking solely to tbe true interests, safety,
and honor ot the nation, tnch a class is incapable ot
iCfCrtluR to Buy bait lor popularity at tbo expense
of tbe public good.
In the uicotures wbicb you have adopted for tho
restoration of tbe Union, tbe Convention saw only a
continuance oi tbe policy which, for the same pur
pose, was inaugurated by your immodiuta prede
cessor, in bis re election by tbo people after that
policy had been fullv indicated, and had oeeu made
one ot the issues of tho contest. Those ol bis political
friends who are now assailing you tor sternly pur
suing it, lorgutlul or reeaidtess of tbe opinions
which their support ot his re-elect on ncces-urlly
involved, being upon the tamo ticket with that
much lamented publio sen ant whose foul asna
tiination touched tho heart ot tbe civilized world
with griet and horror you would have boon
la.se to obvious duty if you had not endeavored
to carry out tbo same policy; and, judging now
by the oppo.-ne one which Congress bus pur
sued, its wisdom and patriotism are indicated by tho
lact that Congress. has continued a broken Union by
keeping ten ot the States in w hich, at one time, the
insurrection existed, ub tar as they could accomplish
it, in the couuiilou ot fcubjugatod provinces, deny
ing tbe right to be rtpiesentcd whilst subjecting
their people to every spec es ot legislation, including
that ot taxation. That such a state ot things is at
w ar with the very genius of our Government, incon-Distent-
with every idea of political lreeuom, and
most perilous to the l eace and uilety ot the country,
no reflecting man can tail to believe.
We hope, sir, that the proceedings of tbe Conven
tion will cause you to adhoro, if possible, with even
greater firinncrs to the course which you are puiu
nii bvsatislvtua you that the people aie with you.
and that tho wisu which lies nearest to tneir heart is
that a Tjorlcct restoration ot our Union at the earliest
moment be al owed, and a conviction that that result
can only be accomplished by the measures whicu
yon are pursuing. And in the discharge ot the
duties which these imuote upon you, wo, as did
every member ol tfce Convention, again for our
Helves, lt.dividuallv tender to von our protouud
renpect and assurance ot our cordial and sincere
support.
With a united Union, with no loot but freemen's
treauiug or permitted to tread on our soil, with a
nation's luith pledged torevor to a strict observance
ot all its obligations, with kindness and love every-
where prevailing, the desolations ot war will soon be
removed ; lis sucrinces ot nie, sad as tbey have been,

And permit me, ir. in cuucluaiou, to odd that.

Whon Mr. IJcverdy Johnson had concluded, tho
rresiueul soiu :
Speech' of Prekldeut .lohiixon.
Mr. Chairman and Gontiomon of the Committee:
Language is inadequate to exprets tne emotions and
IpM.inffA nrodui-pfl hv thhi iincasiou. 1'ftrhnnK I

and vou to inter what! iniulU .and ought to sav.
J ooiifust that. notwiibtrfaBdiui' tlie exiirrioiico I
bave bad In pub'io lite, and the audiences i have
addressed, this occasion aud this assemblage are
well cfticuiaita to, euu ao, overwhelm m.
Aa I bave said, I bave not language to convey
adrqnately my present leeltngs and rmottonn. In
listeiingfo the address whtoh your eloquent and
dtmnj'u died chairman has Just delivered, tho pro
ceedings o the Convention, a tbey tran'pird, re
curred to my mind. Seemingly, 1 partook of the
Inspiration tbat prevai ed in the Convention, when
I received a despatch, font by two of ita distin
guished members, conveying in terms the scene
which has Just been described of Houtti Carolina
and Massarnuretts, aim-in-arm, marching into that
vast assemblage, and thus giving evidence that tho
twoextrtmes had come together again, and that,
tor the luture, they wote united, as thov had been
In the rust, for the preservation of the Union.
When the despatch Inloimcd mo that, In that vast
body ol nirn, distinguished lor intellect and wisdom,
every eie was riiflused with tears on neholdinsr the
scne. I conld not finish reading tbe despatch to one
apscciaied with mo in the Ulice, lor my own feelings
overcsmo me. (Applaue.) I think that we may
justly conclude that we are moving under a proper
Wtpiraiiou, auu u:ri we nvvu uui uo iiiinxaHen inai

Is In tins matter. The nation is tup. ril. We bave
Just pasiod through a mighty, a bloody, a mo-
menivus orrnai, uuu nji yui una ourselves tree
turn tbe d'llieulties and dangers that at first sur
rounded us.
While our bravo men have performed their duties.
both rfficers gird men (turning to lienoral Grant,
who stooj at bis r-glit), while they bave won laurels
imperishable, there aro still greater and moro im
portant duties to perform ; and white we have had
their co-operation in tho field, we now need their
support in our ellorts to perpotuato peace. (Ap-pluu.-o
) So tar as tho Executive Department of tne
Government is concerned, tho cflort tins been mado
to restoie the Union, to heM the breach, to pour oil
into the wounds wh'ch were consequent upon the
struggle, and, to speak in common phrase, to pre
pare, as the learned and wise pbvsician would, a
piaster healing in character and co-cxtmsive with
the vomid. (Applauto.) We thought, and yet
think, tl. tit wo bad partially succeeded. Iiut as the
work progressed, as reconciliation seniued to no
tuking p ace, ar. d tho country becoming united, wo
ioiind a disturbing- and marring element oi-
pOS'Ilg us.
)n al iidine to that clement, I shall go no farther
than d d your ouveution and tho distinguished
get tlcninn who ba delivered to mo the report of its
proceedings. 1 shall mako no rclercnco to it. l.uut,
J do not believe, tne time ana me occasion justuy.
Wo l.avo witnessed in one depa tmeut of the Uov-
tri.nuiit every tllort, as It were, to prevent the
restoiation ol pence and harmony in the Union. We
l avo seen hnnfinf upon the vorgo of tbo Govern
ment, as it were, a body cal ed. or wliicil assumes to
bo. the Congress ol the united State", but In facta
Congress ot onlypurtoi tho Mates. Wo have seen
tin's tenures assume and pretend to be lor the
Union, when its every step and act tended to per
petuate disunion and make a disruption ot tho
States incvauoio.
Instead of promoting reconciliation and harmony.
its legislation has partaken of the character ol penal
ties, retaliation, una revenge, ibis lias been the
course and policy oi one department ol your Gov
ernment. '1 bo humble individual who is now ad
dressing you stands the represeutn'ivo ot another
ucpaitment of rbo Government Tho manner in
which he was cn)U d upon to occupy that position 1
shall not allude to on this occasion ; suffice it to sav
that ho is heie under the Constitution ol tho coun
try, and being here by virtue ol its provision, ho
takes bis stand upon that charter ot our llbnrties,
as the great rampart ot civil and religious
liberty. (Prolonged cheering.) Having been
taught in mv early bio to bold it sacred, and liavinx
practii-ea upon it during my whole public cuteer, 1
shall ever continue to reverence the Constitution of
my fathers, and to make it my guide, (liearty ap
plause )
1 know it has been said, and I must be permitted
to indulge in the remark, that the Executive de
partment ol tho Government has been despotic and
tyrannical. let me ask this audience of distin
guished gentlemen around mo bore to-day to point
to a voto 1 ever gao, to a speech 1 ever made, to a
single act of rnv whole public lite that has not been
against tyranny una despotism. What position
have 1 ever occupied, what ground have I ever as
sumed, where it can be truthtnlly charged that I
tailed to advocate tho amelioration and elevation
oi the git at mass of my countrymen V (Cries of
"Kevcr!" and great applauso.j So iaras chargs
ot that kind are cone rued, I will say that they
aro Bimply intended to Receive and delude tho
public mind into the belief that 'here is some one
in power who is usurping and trampling upon the
rights and perverting tho principles ot tho Consti
tution. It is done by those w ho make such charges
lor the purpose of coveting their own acts. (Cries
ot "lliat's so!" and applause.) I have telt ic my
duty, in vindication ot principle and the Contitu
t tu ot my country, to cail attention to those pro
ceedings. When we conio to examine who bus
been playing tbe tyrant, by whom do we linn that
despotism bas been exercised? As to myself, the
elements ot my nature, tho pursuits ot my lite, hove
not made mo, either in my feelings or in my pruc-
txe, aggressive.
toy uatuie, on tbo contrary, is rather dciensive in
its character. But I will say that, having taken my
stai.d upon tbe bioad principles of liberty and the
Constitution, tneie is not po.ver enougn on eiirtn to
drive me Irom it. (Loud and prolonged applause.)
Having placed myseli upon that broad platlorni, I
bave not been awed, aismaved, or intimidated br
either threats or encroachments, but bavin? stood
tl cie in conjunction with patriotic spirits, sounding
the tocsin ot a larm when l deemed tne citadel ot
liberty in danger. (Great applause.) 1 said on a
previuus occasion, and repeat it now, that all that
was necessary in this great strugg'e against tyranny
and despotism wivs. tlmt tho struggle, should, bo
suO'iciehtiy audible for tho American people to hear
and understand, iucy aiu near, anu looxing on
and seeing who tbe contestants were, and what that
Btruggle was about, tbey determined thoy would
settle ins question uu inesiucoi iue oiisiuuuou
and of principle, (cries ot "that's sol" ana
cpplauso ) I proclaim here to-day, as I bave on other
occasions, that my laitb is abiding in the great mass
of tbe pcop'e. In the darkest struggle, when the
clouds seemed to be most lowering, my luith, instead
of giving way, loomed up through tho dark cloud

And whereas, lhe Senate of the United States, on

"Ittsolred, 1 ho pie-eut deplorable civil war has

that this w ar is not prosecuted upon our part iu any
spirit ot oppression, nor tor any purposo of conquest
or s ubjucatlon, nor purpose ot overthrowing or

puisuunce thereof, and to preserve tho Union with
oil the oignity. equality, and right of the several
States ueiiui aired; and as soon as these objects are
accomplished the war ought to cease;" I
Aiul viienas, Theso resolutions, though not joint
or concurrent in form, are sunstantiaily aud identi
cally the same, and as such have been, aud yet aro,
rcpariKu as buvnig expressed the senso ot Congress
upon the subject to which thoy relate:
And wurcoH I ho President ot tne United Stales,
bv proclamation oi the thirteenth ot June, one thou
sui.d c'ln hundred uud ixty-live, dec ared that tho
n.f uiretlion in h state of Texas bus bceu sup
pressed, uud thut i lie authority ot the United Htutes
H erein was undisputed nnd tlmtsueli I nited States
fleers us hud bci u uttiy commissioned were iu the
undisputed ixereise ol their olliciul lime ions;
Ami win rtds, 1 be l'ttsident ot the Uni-uU States,
by turtl or proclamation, issued on Hie second day
ot April, one thousund etcht hundred nnd sixtv lour,
did i roniiilfato and declare that there no longer
existed auy ai in d res stanco ot iiilirdcd citizons
or otbets to the authority ol the United .-tares, In
uiiv or in all the States before mentioned, excuptlng
only the Sik- ot 1 exus ; and did lurther proun luato
and dic are thut tbe laws could bo sustained aud eu
lorccd in the sovera' Mates nctoro inciirioud, except
'lexus. ty the oroper evil authorities, Stuto or
Fid' ia', and that the peooto of iho said states,
except i'exus. aie well aid losully disposed, aud
have eoincimed, or will cotuorm, in their
legislation to tl o condition ol aintirs rowing
out of tho aiiienamenr to the Constitution
of the Uuited States roll bitme slavery within the
limit- ii nd jurisdiction ol tiio United Stats; ad
Hill tlllthf.r fifli-lnrn 111 the Same IirnclinmiHon tlint It
i is the niunifest determination of the American peo
pie thut no State, et its own will, has a right or
power to go out ot separate ltson irom or bo sepa
rated from the American Union; and that, there
fore euch Stuto oufl t to remain and constitute an
integial part oi the United States; uud d el further
dcdtiro in tbe some last-mentioned proclamation
that the several afore-mentioiiod States, excepting
lexas, have lfi the manner aioresaid giveu sattsfuo
lactorr evidence that tliev acquiesce in this sove
reign and Important reiolutiou ol national unity;
aim tmtnai, iiie rrtsuifiii m me mneu state
inthe proclamation did further declare, that it Is
believed to be a fundamental principle of govern
ment that the peoplo who have revolted and
who have been cvfrcomo and subdued, mast either
bo deait with so as to induce them romtnrily to
become f rli nds, or else theymnst be heid by abso
lute military power, or divested so as to prevent
them from ever again doing barm aa onemies, which
last-named policy is abborrent to humanity and
lrerdom;
And whereas, Tho President did In the same pro
clamation lurther declare that the Constitution of
the United states provides for constltunnt commu
nities only as States, not as lcrntories, dependencies,
provinces or protectorates; And further, That such
constituent States must necessarily be, and bv the
Constitution and laws or the United States are
mado eaual. and p aced upon a like tooting as to
apolitical rights, immnnitis, dignity, and power with
tne several states wit D which tuey are nnuna, ana
did lnrtlicr occlarc that the observance of political
equality as a principle ot right and justice is well
calculated to encourage the petiole of the before
named state, except l'exas, to bo nnd to becomo
more and moro constant and persevering In their
renewed allegiance;
And whereas, The President did further dcolare
that standing armies, military occupation, martial
law, military tribunals, and the siiDprcsslon oi tho
writ of habeas corpus are in time ot peace dangerous
to public liberty, incompatible with the individual
rights of citizens, contiarr to the genius aud spirit
of our free institutions, and exhaustive of tbo national
resource, and ought not tbrreloro to be sanctioned
or allowed, except In cases of actual necessity lor
repelling invasion or suppressing insurrection or
rebellion; and the l'resident did further, in tho
initio proclamation, declare trat tho policy of tbe
Government of ttie Unitca States from tho begin
ning of tho insurrection to its overthrew and final
oppression, had been conducted in conformity with
the principles in tbo last-named proclamation re
cited: ylnrf whereon, The rresidont, in tho said procla
mation of the 13th of June, one thousand eight buu
dred and sixty-six, npon the grounds therein stated
and bereintieloie recited, did then and thereby pro
clamation declare that the insurrection which here
totote existed in the several States nctoro named,
except in Texas, was at an end, and was henceforth
to bo so regarded:
And whereas, Subsequently to the said second
day of April, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, the insurrection in the State of Texas has
been completed, and everywhere suppressed and
ended, the authority of the United States has boon
pncce-elullv and completely established in the said
State ot Texas, and now remains therein unresisted
aud undisputed, and such ol the proper United
States officers as have been duly commissioned
within the limits of the said State are now in the
undisturbed exercise of their official functions;
fii, whereax. The laws can now be sustained and
cnlorccd in tho said bta'o of Texas by the
proper civil authority, Stato or Federal, and
the people of tho said State of Texas, like tho
peoplo of tho other States before named, aro well
and loyally disposed, and bave conformed, and will
conform in thoir legislation, to the condition of
atiairs growing out ol tbo amendment of tho Consti
tution of the United Slates, prohibiting slavery
within tbe limits and jurisdiction of Uo Unitod
States;
And whereas, As nil the reasons and conclusions
set forth in regard to tbe several State thereto
specially named, now apply equally nnd in all
respects to the State of Texas, as well as to tbe
other States which bad been involved in insur
rection; And whereas, Adequate provision has been made
by military orders to euiorce tho excoutlou of the
acts of Congress, aid tho civil authorities, and sectiro
obedience to tbe Constitution and laws ot tho United
States, within tho State of lexas, if a re-ort to
military lorce for such purposo should at any time
become necessary ;
Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, Presidont of
tho United States, do hereby proclaim and declare
that the insuirection which heretofore existed in tho
State ot lexas is at an end, and is so to be henceforth
regarded in that State, as in tbo other States before
named, in wh ch the said insurrection was pro
claimed to be at an end by tho aforesaid proclama
tion of the second day of "April, ono thousand eight
hundred and sixty-three; and I do further proclaim
that the said insurrection i-. at an end, and that
peace, older, tranquillity, and oivil authority now
exist in and throughout tbe whole of the Unitod
States of America.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my
rT , band, and caused tbo seal of the United States
ll" O J to be affixed.
Done at the city ot Washington, thl twentieth (20th)
day of August, in the year of our Lord one thou
