HUNTINGDON, PA
SPEECH OF SECRETARY SEWARD,
October 20, 1865
Cordial Reception at Auburn—Mr. Sew
ard Vindicates the Policy of the Ad
ministration.
ME GOOD FRIENDS: A meeting with
you here from time to time, as oppor
tunity serves and duty permits, is not
merely a privilege; but oven a blessing.
Your greeting on this occasion comes
in the season when fruits aro clustered
around us, although the leaves above
our heads and the grass beneath our
feet are yet fresh and green. The as
semblage which has gathered to ex
press to me its good wishes harmoni
zes with the season and the seem—
However youthful a:townsman of Au
burn is, ho is nevertheless habitually
thoughtful ; however old, he is yet al
ways cheerful and hopeful. This par
ticular greeting calls up not mere fan
cies, but memories—some new and
others old; some pleasing. others
mournful; some private, others public;
with all of which, however, you aro all
intimately and generously acquainted;
and those memories have become so
indelibly impressed upon me, that they
seem to me to constitute a part of my
very being. We have met occasionally
during the past five years, but alwayS
under circumstances which were pain•
ful, and which excited deep solicitude.
You freely gave me your sympathies
then, even when my visits were hur
ried; when my appeals to you, and
through you to more distant fellow
citizens, to make new efforts and sac
rifices for our suffering country must
have seemed querulous and exacting;
and when either public or private anx
ieties denied me the privilege of even
temporary rest and calmness. Who
that labored under the weight of a dis
proportionate responsibility could have
rested or been at ease, when the land
which he ought to love, with more
than earthly affection, was threatened
every day with a violent dissolution of
its political institutions, to be too
quickly followed by domestic anarchy,
and afterward by imperial, and possi
bly foreign despotism. Would to God
that the patriots of Mexico had never,
in the midst of her civil commotions,
taken to themselves the comfort of in
difference and repose. But all is now
changed. The civil war is ended.—
Death has removed his victims; liberty
has crowned her heroes, and humanity
has canonized her martyrs; the sick
and the stricken are cured; the survi
ving combatants are fraternizing; and
the country, the object of our just
pride and lawful affection, once more
stands collected and composed, firmer,
stronger, and more majestic than ever
before, without one cause of dangerous
discontent at home, and without an
enemy in the world. [Applause.] Why
should wo not felicitate each other on
this change, and upon the new pros.
pccts which open before us. These
prospects, • however, cover a broad
field. 1 could not rightly tax your
kindness so much as to survey the
whole of it; and even if I were willing
you would kindly remember that at
the present moment my power of
speech is abridged. Only magnani
mous themes are worthy of your intel
lectual understanding, or compatible
with the feelings which haVe moved
this interview. We have lost the groat
and good President, Abraham Lincoln.
He had reached a stage of moral con
sideration when his name alone, if en
circled with a martyCs wreath, would
be more useful to humanity at large
than his personal efforts could be ben
eficial to any one country as her cho
son chief magistrate. He is now asso
ciated with Washington, The two
American chiefs, though they aro dead,
still live, and they are leading the en•
tire human race in a more spirited pro
gress towards fields of broader light
and higher civilization. [Applause.]
In the place of Abraham Lincoln we
have a new President. To most of you
he is persOnally unknown. The pooh
pie around me, with their customary
thoughtfulness, are inquiring of those
who arc nearer to him than themselves
what manner of man Andrew Johnson
is and what manner of President he
may bo expected to be. When in 18(il,
treason, laying aside, for the moment,
the already obnoxious Mass of slavery,
and investing itself with the always
attractive and honored robes of dem
ocratic freedom, flashed its lurid light
through the Senate Chamber and an
nounced, as already completed, a dis
solution of the Union, then a leader
who should be at first a Senatorial and
afterward a popular leader, was re
quired to awaken sleeping loyalty and
patriotism throughout the land, to
rouse its unconscious hosts and to in
spire them with the resolution needed
to rescue . the Constitution, suppress
the rebellion, and preserve the integri
ty of the republic. [Applause.] To me
reason seemed to suggest in this ease
as a necessity resulting from circum
stances' that that leader, while he
should be a capable, inflexible and de
voted patriot, should also be a citizen
of a hesitating Border Skate—a slave
. holder in practice, though not in prin•
ciple, and yet in principle and associa
tion a Democrat, Andrew Johnson,
Of Tennessee completely filled those
complex conditions, and with the con
sent of the whole American people he
assu med the great responsibility. [Ap
plause.] The insurrection soon became
flagitious, Insolent; defiant, and an
nounced, to the astonishment of man
kind, that the pretended free empire
which it was building k l y usurpation
within forbidden borders was founded
upon the corner stone of slavery l The
newly inaugurated President, Lincoln,
with decision, not unaccompanied by
characteristic prudence, announced
that henceforth slavery should be
deemed and treated as a public enemy.
[Applause.] Andrew Johnson accept
ed these new conditions of his popular
leadership which this announcement
created, and thenceforward ho openly,
freely, and honestly declared, not only
that the erection of the new edifice
should be prevented, but the corner
stone of slavery itself, the rock of all
our past as well as of all our then fu
ture dangers, should he uplifted and
removed, and cast out from the repub
lic. [Renewed applause.] Whatever
may have been thought by you, or by
me, or by others, at that time, it is
now apparent that the attempted rev
olution culminated when the national
banner was for the first time success
fully replanted by oar gallant army on
the banks of the Cumberland, and
when Tennessee, first among the Bor
der States which had been reluctantly
carried into the rebellion, offered once
more a foothold and resting place to
the authorities of the Union. From
that time, while it was yet necessary
to prosecute the war with such error
gies as human nature had never before
exerted, it was at the same time equal
ly needful, with wisdom which has
never been surpassed, to prosecute the
beneficent work of restoring the Union
and harmonizing the great political
family which, although it had been
temporarily distracted, was destined,
nevertheless, to live and grow forever
Under that majestic protection. [Loud
applause.] The abolition of slavery
was thenceforth equally an element of
persistent war and returning peace.—
(Continued applause.) Ho neither
reads history with care nor studies the
ways of Providence with reverence,
who does not see that, for the prosecu
tion of these double, diverse, and yet
equally important purposes of war
and peace, Andrew Johnson was fitly
appointed to be a Provisional Govern
or in Tennessee—the first of a series
of Provisional Governors after ward to
bo assigned to the insurrectionary
States, and was subsequently elected
Vice President, and in the end consti
tutionally inaugurated President of
the United States. (Renewed applause
We are continually hearing debates
concerning the origin and authority of
the plan of restoration. New converts
North and South, call it the President's
plan. All speak of it as if it were a
new and recent development. On the
contrary, wo now see thatrit is not spe
cially Andrew Johnson's plan,nor even
a new plan in any respect. It is the
plan which abrubtly yet distinctly of.
fered itself to the last Administration,
at the moment I have before recalled,
when the work of restoration was to
begin; at the moment when, although
by the world unperceived it did begin,
and it is the only plan wirtch thus sea
sonably presented itself ; and, there
fore, is the only possible plan which
then, or ever afterward, could he adop.
ted.o(Great applause.) This plan, al.
though occasionally requiring varia
tion of details, nevertheless admits of
no aubatantial change or modification.
It could neither be enlarged nor con.
tracted. State conventions in loyal
States, however favorable; in disloyal
States, however hostile, could not law
fully or effectually disallow it; and
even the people themselves, when
amending the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, are only giving to that plan
its just and needful sovereign sanction.
In the meantime the executive and
legislative authorities of Congress can
do no more than discharge their pro•
per functions of protecting the recently
insurgent States from anarchy during
the intervening period while this plan
is being carried into execution. (Ap
plause.) It is essential to this plan
that the insurrectionary States shall,
by themselves and for themselves, ac ,
cept and adopt this plan, and thereby
submit themselves to and recognize
the national authority. This is what
I meant when I said to Mr. Adams, in
a passage which you may recall, that
in the sense in which the word subju
gation was then used by the enemies
of the United States, at home and
abroad, was not the expectation or
purpose of this Government that the
Southern States should be subjugated ;
but that I thought that those States
would bo brought, by the judiciously
mingled exercise of pressure and per
suasion, to a condition in which they
would voluntarily return to their idle.
glance. This was the explanation
which Mr. Adams gave to Lord Palm
erston, the Prime Minister of England,
when that great, and, as I trust, not
unfriendly statesman, said that he did
not believe that the Federal Union
could bo restored, because ho know
that while any man can lead a horse
to the water, no man could make him
drink. Tho plan therefore recognizes
not the destruction, nor oven the sub
version of States, but their active ex
istence; and it reasons from facts as
they are, not from assumeff or possible
changes to be effected by continual
war, much less does it reason from
mere chimeras. (Applause.) This abso
lute existence of the States whieh con
stitute the republic is the most palpa
ble of all the filets with which the
American statesman has to deal. If
many have stumbled over it into trea-•
son and rebellion, the fact, for all le
gitimate deductions and purposes,
nevortheltss remains. In a practical
sense, at least, the States wore before
the Atrierican Union was. Even while
they were colonies of the British crown,
they still wee° embryo &awe -I-Several,

and so erected loosely upon it; but
they are Hying, growing, majestic
trees, whose roots aro widely spread
and interlaced within the soil, and
whose shade covers the earth. (Great
applause.) If at any time any of these
trees shall be blown, down or upturned
by violence, it must be lifted up again
in its proper place, and sustained by
kindly hands until it has renewed its
natural stability and erectness. (Loud
applause.) Ifat any time the American
Union is fractured through a lesion of
one of its limbs, that limb must bo re
stored to soundness before duo consti
tutional health and vigor ca be bro't
back to the whole system. If one of
those limbs offend, we have indeed the
power—and I will not cavil about the
right—to cut it off and cast it away
from us; but when we should have
done that, we would have then done
just what other nations less wise than
ourselves have done, that have sub
mitted unnecessarily to amputation,
and given up a material portion of
their strength to save themselves from
apprehended destruction. Wo know
the inherent strength, vitality and vi
gor of the whole Anieriean people.—
We neither passionately torment any
offending limb, nor consent to its be
ing out off, because we know that all
of our limbs are capable of being re
stored, and all are neceesary to the
prolongation of our national life.
You will ask whether a reconcilia.
don which follows so closely upon mil
itary coercion, can be relied upon. Can
it bo sincere? Can it be permanent?
I answer: Do you admit separation
to be in any case posaible Does-any
body now believe that it ever will here
after become possible? Will you your
selves now or ever consent to it ? You
answer all these questivns in the neg
ative. Is not reconciliation., then, not
only desirable, but imperative ? Is any
other reconciliation, under the circum
stances, possible? Certainly you must
accept this proposed reconciliation, or
you must purpose to delay and wait
until you can procure a bettor ono.
Good surgery requires that even situ
pie fractures, much more compound
ones, shall be healed, if possible, at the.
first intention. Would not delay nec
essarily prolong anarchy ? Are you
sure that you can procure a better rec
onciliation after prOlonged anarchy,
without employing force? who will
advocate the employment of force
merely to hinder, and delay, through
prolonged anarchy, a reconciliation
which is feasible and perfectly consis
tent with the Constitution? In what
part of the Constitution is written the
power to continue civil war against suc
cumbing States for ultimate political
triumph ? What would this be but, in
fact, to institute a new civil war, after
one had ended with the complete ats
tainment of the lawful objects for
which it was waged? Congress and
the Administration have power to levy
wars against foreign States for what
ever cause they see fit. Congress and
the President have a right to accept or
even make war against any part of the
people of the United States only un
der their limited power to suppress se
dition and insurrection, and for that
purpose only. What then ? Must we
give up the hope of further elevation
of classes in the several States with
out any guarantees for individual lib
erty and progress? By no means.
Matching in this patiMat'progress and
elevation of masses is what wo have
been doing always in the season of
peace, and what we have been doing
still more effectually in the prosecution
of the war. It is a national march, as
onward and irresistible as the late con•
flict between free and slave labor was
vigorous and irrepressible. [Enthusias
tic applause.] The plan of reconcilia
tion we are pursuing has given to us
two great national advances in this
progress of moral and political eleva
tion, which are now to be made fast
and firmly fixed. First, it secures a
voluntary abolition of slavery by every
State which has engaged in insurrec
tion; and secondly, it must secure and
does secure an effectual adoption by
the late slave States themselves of the
amendment of the Federal Constitu
tion, which declares that neither sla
very nor involuntary servitude, except
for crime, shall ever hereafter exist in
any part of the United States. [Ap
plause.] The people who have so
steadily adhered to the true path of
Democratic progress and civilization
through all the seductions of peace,
and through so many difficulties and
at such fearful cost in war, will now
have now inducements and encourago•
ments to prosevere in that path until
they shall have successfully reduced to
a verity the sublime assertion of the
political equality of all men, which the
thunders, in their immortal declaration
laid down as the true basis of Ameri
can Union. [Prolonged applause.] It
is certain that the plan of reconciliation
which I have thus largely explained,
must and will be adopted. [Applause.]
ft May, however, bo hindered or has
toned. How can it be hindered? You
are yourselves aware of the answer
when you fasten upon any violent, fac
tious or seditious exhibition of passion
or discontent in any of the lately re
bellious States and argue from it the
failure of the plan. You argue justly.
Every turbulent and factious person in
tiro lately insurrectionary States is re•
sisting, hindering and delaying the
work of restoration to the extent of
his ability. But the ease is precisely
the same with 'ourselves. Manifesta
tions of doubt,
.distrust,
contempt or defiance in the loyal States
are equally injurious, end equally tend
to delay the work of reconciliation.
How, then, shall it be ilafOned ? I
reply, virtually, in the language of the
President—in the spirit qt the Consti
tution and in hammy, not only with
our politics, but with our religion—
"We natist trust' each other." [App

er? Once we were friends. We haVe
since been enemies. We are friends
again. [Renewed applause.] But,
whether in friendship or in enmity, in
peace or in war, we aro and can be
nothing else to each than brethren.
[Loud applause.] A few evenings ago
an hundred Southern mon, who re
cently had been more or less influen
tial and leading revolUtioniste ' visited
my house at Washington. They were
frank, unreserved and earnest in their
assurances of acquiescence and recon•
ciliation, as I also was in mine. Hap
pily, a paqy of intelligent Englishmen
were in my dwelling at the same time.
I introduced the late rebels to the rep
resentatives of sympathizing England,
and I said to the parties : "You late
ly, each of you, thought that the
Southern men preferred British rule
to citizenship in the United States."
While the Englishmen individually
disclaimed, both parties promptly an
swered, as . they now do, that that idea
was not merely a delusion, but an ab
surd mistake. They know that, oven
during the excitement of the war, the
American citizen, whether North or
South, really preferred his own coon
trymen of every section to any other
people in the world. Some of you fear
that the President may be too lenient
to those Southern leaders who plunged
the country into the calamities of civil
war. Except those of you who have
been maimed or bereaved, has any of
you suffered more of wrong, insult and
insolence at the hands of those leaders
than ho has? Can we not forget where
he can forgive ? Are you aware that
his terms of amnesty to offenders are
far more rigorous than Om which
were offered by Abraham Lincoln ?
Have you ever seen the majesty of law
more firmly maintained than it has
been by him in the exercise of discrim
inating clemency ? [Applause ] Some
of you seem to have been slightly dis
turbed by professions or demonstra
tions of favor toward the President,
made by parties who have heretofore
opposed his Administration, as well as
the Administration of his predecessor.
[Laughter.] And you ask, may not
the President yet prove unfaithful to
us? For myself, I laid aside partisan
ship, if I had any, in 1801, when the
salvation of the country demanded that
sacrifice. It is not, therefore, my pur
pose to descend to mere partisanship
now. Andrew Johnson laid aside, I
am sure, Whatever of partisanship he
had at the same time. [Applause.]
That noble act did not alloW, but, on
the other hand, it forbade, collusion by
the friends of the Union with oppo
nents of the policies of the war and of
reconciliation which the Government
has found it necessary to pursue. Duty
requires absolute and uncompromising
fidelity to the supporters of those poli
cies, whosoever, and of whatsoever
party they may be. [Applause.] An
drew Johnson has practiced that fidel
ity against the violence of enemies, to
the sacrifice of his fertune, the hazard
of his liberty, and oven the peril of his
life. [Enthusiastic cheering.] The
same fidelity is still identified with the
success of those policies, and, of course,
is necessary to the stehievement of
their magnificent ends. [Loud ap
plause.] Why should he now abandon
these policies, and desert time honor
ed and favored supporters, merely be
cause the dawning success of our efforts
ha's compelled former opponents to
approve and accept them ? • [Renewed
applause.] Patriotism and loyalty
equally, however, require that fidelity
in this case shall be mutual. Be ye
faithful, therefore, on your part, and
although the security I offer is unnec
essary and superfluous, yet I will guar
antee fidelity on his part. [Renewed
cheering.] Those who hitherto oppo
sed the President, but now profess to
support him, either are sincere or in
sincere, Time must prove which is the
fact. If they aro sincere, who that has
a loyal heart must not rejoice in their
late though not too long delayed con
version ? If they are insincere, aro we
either less sagacious, or have we less
ability now than heretofore to coun
teract treachery to the national cause?
Perhaps you fear the integrity of the
man. I confess with a full sense of
my accountability, that among all the
public men whom I have met, or with
whom I have been associated or con
corned,
in this or any other country;
no one has seemed to me to be more
wholly free from personal caprice and
selfish ambition than Andrew Johnson;
none to be more purely and exclusive
ly moved in public action by love of
country and good will to mankind. I
hope I have said enough of the Presi
dent. Shall I now speak of his associ
ates in administration--the bonds of
the executive departments as they aro
called. I do it cheerfully, because
now, for the first time, I am free to
speak of them as I truly regard and
esteem them. Heretofore I could not
do so without inviting what might
prove injurious debate—moreover, I
could not do so without seeming kit,-
sire for myself some exemption from
censure, some exorcise of clemency,
which self respect forbade me person
ally to invok.o. For the time I said
to myself:
"31y name le lost;
By treason's tooth baro.gnawn and canker-bit,
Yeti ntn noble as the adversary
1 Com to cope,"
(Applause.) That time has passed
away. The present anti the last ad-
Ministrations' are inseparably allied.
Their work is now either completely
done, or its end is near at hand. The
heads of departments in these allied
administrations aro now separable
without injury to the national safety
and welfare. Each i§ entitled to his
proper merit, and each 'must be con
tent to boar his distinct responsibility.
We have had three •Secretaries'of the
Treasury. I believe that the fiscal
system under whjch the nation has

eulties than any other .country over

There has boon since no departure
from that plan, nor any relaxation in

Of Mr. Cameron I bear witness that
he was in all things honest, earnest,
zealous and patriotic. Of Mr. Stanton
I am to speak in oven more exalted
praise. (Applause.) My, acquaintance
with him began amid the hours of deep
and overwhelming solicitude which
filled what may justly be called an in.
terregnum which. Occurred between
the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the Presidency, in November, 1860,
and his inauguration,. amid the dan
gers of revolution, siege and assassina
tion, in March, 1861, and while Edwin
M. Stanton was an acting momber of
the waning Administration of James
Puchanan. From that time, through
all the period which elapsed until
April, 1865, when the siege of the cap
itol was raised, and the fearful trage
dy of the country was closed with the
assassination of the Chief. Magistrate
who had saved it, I hourly saw and
closely observed, by night and by day,
the Secretary of War. I saw . him or
ganize and conduct a war of pure re
pression, greater than any war which
mankind bad before experienced. In
all that time, I saw no great or serioue
error committed.
I saw, as you have all scan, the
greatest military results achieved—re
sults which the whole world regarded
as impossible. • There is not ono of
those results that is not more or loss
directly due to the fertile invention,
sagacious preparation and indomitable
perseverance and energy of the Seer°
tary of War. (Applause,) I have
never known him to express or even
betray a thought in regard to our
country which was not divine, What
remains to be done, by exhibiting mil
itary force, in bringing the insurrec
tionary States out from anarchy into
a condition of internal peace and co
operation with the - "Government may
be safely trusted to him.
I am equally satisfied with the as. ,
val administration of Mr, Welles; and
yet I am bound to acknowledge that
during the whole period of his service,
the navy has prctically enjoyed the
administration of two sagacious and
effective chiefs, The Secretary of the
Navy will himself, I am sure, approve
and thank me for this tribute to his
assistant, Captain Fox. The depart
ment has achieved glory enough to di
vide between them. I apprehend nei
ther now nor in any near future, any
danger of maritime collision or conflict;
but I think the maintenance of naval
preparation equally advantageous both
at home and abroad, with regard to
questions which, without that. precau
tion, might possibly arise. I am con
tent to leave the responsibility of this
case with Mr. Welles. [Applause.]
Wo have had three Secretaries of the.
Interior, or Home Department—Mr.
Smith,kr. Usher, and Mr. Harlan.
Amid the tumults of war and the ter.
ror inspired by foreign conspiracies,
the operations of the Home Depart
ment have all the while been carried
on without arresting attention, or
even obtaining observation. It might
be sufficient praise to say of its chiefs
that now, when the time for scrutiny
has come, those unobserved.operations
aro found to have been faultless. But
this is not all. A thousand, five thous
and years hence, men will inquire
when and by whom was projected and
instituted the steam overland connec
tion, which during all the intervening
period, will be seen to have itidissolu
bly bound the distant coasts of the
Pacific to the shores of the Atlantic
ocean. The answer will be, it• was
projected and instituted by the &ores.
taxies of the Interior during. the ad
ministration of Abraham Lincoln.
[Applause.] We have had two Post
master Generals. No more prudent
or efficient one than Montgomery
Blair has ever presided in that depart
ment. [Applause.] In his successor,
Mr. Dennison, we find a practiced
statesman, who, under the improved
circumstances of our national condi
tion, is giving us special and peculiar
cause for satisfaction. He is promptly
restoring the transportation of Mails
throughout the late theatre of wax,
and in that way performing an emi
nent part in the reconciliation of the
American peorle. Watchful of the in
terests of external as well as of inter,
nal commerce, ho has brought into aa
tion a now and direct postal line with
Brazil, and thus has introduced us to
more intimate intercourse with the
States Of Smith" America: A year
Vic shall see him .extending
commercial, political and friendly con:
nection to the Islands of the Pacific
and the great continents that lie be
yond it. [Renewed applause.] I wish
you 011 could understand Mr. Speed,
the Attorney General, as I do. I do
not knoW whether he is to bo more
admired for varied and accnrate learnt
ing, or for What seems to ho an intui
tive faculty Of Moral philosophy. Only
the delicate nervous system which we
all enjoy, bet so ,eeldom appreciate,
§OOMS to rue 1,0 furnish a parallel for
his quick sensibilities in the discovery
and appreciation qt. truth. [Applause.)

foreign nations for . injuries to the Uni-,
ted States and her citizens, and other
nations have presented claims:against:
this. Government fur alleged injuries--
I to, them or their subjects, Although .
these claims are chiefly of a personal,
and pecuniary nature, yet the . diseus., -
skin of them involves principles essen
tial to.the independence of States,and
harmony
,among •nations.. I believe ,
that the President will conduct this,
part of our affairs in such 'a manner ai ,
to yield and recover indemnitierijustly
duo, without any compromise of the
1 national dignity and honor. , With.;
whatever jealousy .wo may adhere te,
our inherited principleof avoiding on-
tangling alliances with forenignriationS,
the United States must continuo to •
exercise,
as always before ourcivil war
they did exerciso, a just- and beneficent
influence in the international

which are near to us on thieContinent,
and which are . especially endeared to'
us by their adoption of republican-iii-:•

to have been •apprehended "by the:,
American people, when theY,fell - into •
the distractions of civil war:- With
the return of peace, it is coming back
to us again, in greater strength than
ever. 1 am sure that this important
interest has not been lost sight of by'
the President of the United States for
a single . moment, and I expect that we
shall see republican institntions,tvher 7 ,,
ever they have been heretofore estab

reinvigorated.. [Applause‘j When I
shall see this progress_ successfully
worked out on'the American continent,.
I shall then look for the signs,of its
successful working throughout thnoth

It is thus that 1 think the Adminis-
trttions of. Abraham Lincoln and: An- ,
drew Johnson may be, assumed as an...
epoch at which humanity will, resume
with new spirit and courage the career
which, however slow, is nevertheless
constantlydirected toward the destrne-
Lion of every form of human slavery, •
and the political equality of all. men.
(Both I/5i as tie and prolonged applause;).
And now, my dear friends and-neigh
