Enthusiastic Ratification Meeting in
Fayette County.
Moderation, Conciliation, and Harmony
Speech of Hon. Andrew Stewart
CorrespondenCo of the Pit teburgh Commercial
UNIONTOWN, March 14, 1866
The Union ratification meeting nt
the Court House in this place on Mon
day night last was very large and the
greatest enthusiasm revai led. Hon.
Andrew Stewart was chosen President.
In reply to frequent calls on the
President, Mr. Stewart, for his views
on reconstruction, ho said that the
last Congress had adjourned without
adopting any plan, leaving the Presi
dent to adopt one of his own. lle did
so—a plan just and generous to the
South, based "on the great central idea
of loyalty," loyalty to the Constitution
and the Union. None but loyal men,
he said, could be allowed to hold office
or participate in the Government. Ile
presumed Congress would admit none
but loyal men. 'Phis plan was sanc
tioned by his enlightened Cabinet; it
worked like a charm ; it gave the Pre
sident immediate and absolute control
of the Southern people. He issued his
edicts; they were obeyed. Ile requir.
ed them to repeal their ordinances of
secession; they did it. He required
them to ratify the abolition of slavery;
to abolish it in their state constitutions;
to repudiate their rebel State debts; to
give the freedmen their right. How
ever distasteful, they did it. Aided by
his immense patronage, and exacting
loyalty as the only condition of' execm
live aver, the President was fast buil
ding up a loyal Union party in the
South, strong enough to keep down
the cutthroats and fire eaters, withim t
the expensive aid of a standing army
or Freedmen's Bureau. .
In this state of affairs the resent
Congress toot. Certain talented, bold
and adroit men, hostile to the Presi
dent, threw themselves into the lead;
dexterously introduced antagonistic re•
solutions, not to bring in but keep out
all the Southern States and people,
loyal and disloyal alike—thus virtually
carrying out the object of secession it
self. Without debate they promptly
called the ayes and noes, compelling
the Republican party to vote with them
or with the Denwerats, thus fbrcing the.
party into a false position, from which
they must in some . way escape, or the
party and country be ruined. These
northern fanatics, with the Democrats,
are now making joint efforts—the ono
to kick and the other to coax the Pres
ident out of the Reptiblicau party.—
They will fail. But suppose they sue
, coed? What would be the condition
of the country ? Thus hostile and cx
asperated, Congress would reject all
the measures of the President and he
would•veto all theirs. Thus the legis•
lation of the country would be brought
to a dead lock, and of course Congress
had better adjourn and go home, and
then what? Then, should the contro
versy continue, the Republicans could
not of course unite with men who
would divide the party and of' course
would select others uncommitted, di
viding the Country, perhaps, into three
parties, the Democrats, the radicals,
and the great Johnson or Constitution
al party standing between the two ex
tremes, and rallying to their standard
the good and trite men of all parties to
save the country. They will save it;
they will be successful because right;
the majority will go right in-the end;
if not, the fountain of power being cor
rupted at its source, Republican insti
tutions must fall.
Mr. Stewart said he had served sev
eral years in Congress with Andrew
Johnson. Ho knew him well, and he
never knew a firmer, purer, or more
patriotic man—a man who by his tal
ents and unaided efforts had raised
himself by reffular steps from the very
lowest to the highest position in the
world. Ho had good sense and good
principles. His instincts arc all right,
and he. can't go wrong. You can nei
ther drive nor seduce him. He saw
this tried in the Senate, when the lea
ders of the rebellion, having failed to
deduce, undertook to denounce him as
a traitor to the South ; but he turned
upon them like a lion on so many curs,
and by an outburst of indignant, with
°ring and overwhelming eloquence,
actually drove many of them from their
seats. It, was on this occasion he said:
"Were I President, I would arrest you,
try you, and if' convicted, so help me
God, I would hang you," and certain
gentlemen have lately discovered that
he retains a little of this old fire still.
But it is to be hoped that these difs
Liculties will soon be healed and her•
stony return, and that the Republican
party will again be united, and all par
ties again vie with each other in ap
Omitting the President, as they did on
the reading of his message at the open
ing of the present session—a thing that
never before occurred in this country,
and when the flurry is over, the de
nunciations of the ultra men in the
North will serve to strengthen the
President with the Southern people,
who go by the "rule of contrary' with
these men, and thus essentially aid him
in bringing them back into the Union.
Thus all may turn out for the best in
the end. There is a Providence in all
things; "there is a divinity that shapes
our• ends, rough hew them as we may."
We saw dark and lowerin g clouds dur
ing the war. We see them now. But
God and brave men saved the country
then, and God and good men will save
it now.
At the coimlusion of Mr. Stewart's
remarks, Mr. Collins, chairman of com
mittee on resolutions, reported the fol
lowing among other resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the war being over,
the reconstruction of the Union upon
the most speedy, Safe and eeuumnical
-PERSEVERE.-
plan should be the aim and object of
every true patriot.
That the present Lincoln Republi
can Cabinet being perfectly familiar
with all the views and purposes of the
President,yet remaining in his Cabinet
aiding and assisting him,shows clearly
that he has their confidence, and that
they believe him when ho says "my
whole heart is with the true men who
carried the country through the war,
and I earnestly desire to maintain a
cordial and perfect understanding with
them," and "there is not a principle of
President Lincolr:,'s rt.iferenno•i n uni t t o
tho reconstruction of the Union from
which I have departed."
Resolved, That the policy which ex
cludesindiscriminately the whole south,
the loyal as well as disloyal people,
takes away all motive to loyalty and
Union organization in the south, while
it, unites all men there in hostility to
the Governinent, requiring a large and
expensive standing army to keep them
in subjection.
/ilesokal, That the loyal Republican
members of Congress from Tennessee,
who stood for the Union in the midst
of treason and persecution, are better
entitled to seats in Congress, on the
score of loyalty, than many who now
occupy them.
Resolved, That we Conn r with the
President when he says, "Congress has
the unquestionable rigt to judge of
the qualifications of its own members,"
that "loyaltyis my central idea," that
"none but loyal men should hold office
or participate in the Governtnent, and
that if a State hris but five thousand
loyal me:: they should govern." "Tbat
treason shold be made odious and
traitors punished, and that the Consti
tution must and shall be preserved."
Resolved, That we approve of the
action of the President in keeping a
sufficient military three with the
l'reedman's Bureau in the South to
suppress violence and protect the rights
of the freed non.
Resolved, That we approve of' the
conduct of the _President in requiring
the Southern States, as a condition pre
cedent to their restoration,
Ist. That they"should repeal their
ordinance of secession.

3d. Abolish slavery in their State
Constiiiition3.
slth. Repudiate the rebel State debt.
50. Guarantee freedmen the right:.
to contract, teutify, euo e, n d b e sued.
Resol eed, That in view of the forego•
lug acts and declarations of the Presi
dent ttlire can be but little ground for
difference between hint and Congress,
and for the sake of harmony and co
operation in the great work of recon
struction, all further difficulty should
cease, the past be forgotten,. and all
should unite in honest and earnest of
forts to restore our glorious Union,
and in the end, the late denunciations
of Northern extremists may do good
in strengthening the President in the
South, where he most needs it, thus in
creasing his power and influence in
bringing back the rebel Slates into a
peacenti, prosperous, and lasting Uni,
on under "the old flag."
Resolved, That should Democrats
and all others, think proper to unite
with us and the President, in hone-t
endeavors to restore the Union—so
much the better ; and they will be on
titled to our thanks for their co opera
tion in this good and patriotic work.
Resolved, That in view of the present
enormous and unprecedented importa
tions of foreign goods and the exporta
tion of gold and Government bonds.
we instruct our Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress to vote for such
an increase of duties on foreign goods
and such reduction of taxes on domes
tic manufactures as will .secure the
American markets to American labor,
and especially in reference to iron,
wool and woolen goods, the imports of
whieb alone are now at the rate of $2O
- per year, which with adequate
protection . we can and will supply at
home.
Resolved, That wo 'are opposed to
Congress interfering with the question
of suffrage in the States, either of white
or black.
Congress and the President,
Speech of Senator Sherman, at Bridge
port, Conn,
Ho proceeded to discuss the differ—
ences which existed within the ranks
•
of the Union party.
It was commonly said in the news•
papers that the President and Con
gress were quarrelling with each other;
but he would show that they stood
with each other on every material
question. There were four different
classes of propositions upon which it
was said Congress and the President
disagreed. The first was as to the
representation of the States in Con
gross. There was a great deal of
theoretical dispute in regard to the
conditions of the States, but those the
ories did not amount to much. Some
alleged that the Southern States were
conquered provinces, and some said
they were States in the Union. Demo
Orals contended that they were in the
Union, and the right to elect to Con
gress whomsoever they saw fit, and
that, it would be unconstitutional in
that body to exclude Robert Toombs
or J eff. Davis it elected, and that no
test oath could be prescribed to them;
while on the other hand there . wore
those who looked upon them as con
quered provinces, to be. governed with
absolute power, just as England E A'.
urned Ireland, with unhappy results to
both, that would continue to exist un
til England did justice to Ireland.
'l'llo Southern States, ill his judg.
ment, were States of the Union in a
condition of insurrection, and In ad no

gross unless they could subscribe to
certain specified conditions. A resolu
tion embracing those ideas passed by
an almost unanimous vote in July,
1865, only Messrs. Saulsbury, Garrott,
Davis and Powel, of Kentucky, voting
against it. The President endorsed.
this preposition even in his veto mes
sage, and also in the speech he made
on the 22d of February. The Senator
read an extract from President John
son's veto, which set forth that Repre
sentatives in Congress must be mon
who never aided the rebellion, and
said if the copperheads could endorse
that, they had it harder dose to swal
low than they ever had before. The
only question was what tcrms and
qualifieations, what tests of loyalty
should be applied to them. He (Mr.
Sherman) wanted no better test than
the oath which was prescribed two or
three years ago: That was the posi•
tion of Congress and Andrew Johnson.
The point of divergency was that the
President insisted in complying with
those tests that each House shall be
the Judge of the qualifications of its
own members, while Congress insisted
that while it had the constitutional
power each for itself to do so, it inevi
tably has the power to act jointly upon
this question, and he thought in that
Congress had the best of the argument.
The President had never said, and in
his judgment never would say, that
unrepentant rebels like Stephens of
Georgia—though he was the best of
them all—shall come back and take
their places to make laws for the peo
ple of the United States.
The second question was as to the
basis of representation, which the
Speaker discussed at considerable
length. By the Constitution of the
United States,representation was based
upon the number of inhabitants, and
the result of the abolition of slavery,
which heretofore entitled the South to
the representation of three fifths of the
slaves, would be to give to the South
ern States increased political power.
If this were permitted, the white men
of South Carolina would have two and
one•third more political power than
the white men of Connecticut. Demo•
crats were in favor of this because
they knew that the white men of
South Carolina would vote for all the
negroes, which would be so much but
ter in the churn of the Democratic
party. They were opposed to any
change in this condition of affairs and
wanted "the constitution as it is."
Both the President and Congress af—
firm that there should be a change in
the basis of representation. The
President was in thvor of basing the
representation upon the voters, leav
ing every State to say who should
vote. There was a class of mon in
Congress who were in favor of taking
away this power from the people; but
that proposition did not meet with
much favor, as each State was jealous
of its own powers. In many of the
Western States they did not allow rob
els to vote, although they in Connec
,
ticut allowed rebels to vote there. The
Committee of Reconstruction,' when
examining this matter, found difficul
ties presented in the rule laid down by
the President, the representatives of
the Northern and border States claim
ing that if the President's plan were
adopted their States would 1')S0 power.
Finally the committee hit upon a plan
which they thought would meet with
universal acceptance, which was that
representatives shall ho apportioned
among the several States according to
their respective numbers, counting the
the whole number of persons in each
State, provided that the elective fl - an •
chise shall not be denied or abridged
in any State on account of race or col
or. Every Union man voted for this
measure, and every Democrat against
it, because , it took political power
away from rebels, which Democrats
might want to use some time. That
proposition came to the Senate and
was debated, and because some feared
that there might he bulled up in sim
ple words that a State might exclude
people on account of race or color, it
was defeated, and the matter was post
poned till next week. The difference
between the President and Congress
on this point was that of Tweedledum
and T‘vc eJledee.
There was another poin t upon which
die President and Congress differed,
and that was how far the elective fran
chise should be extended to the. negro
population of the Southern States. He
(the speaker) never could understand
why anybody should be excluded from
the elective franchise merely because
he was black. But he could understand
why people might be excluded from
that pi ivilege on account of condition.
In his opinion the negroes of the South
were mere children in intellect, can he
thought it would not b 3 wise now to
compel the Southern States as a con
dition of readmission, to give the col
ored people the elective franchise—
not because they were black, but be
cause it would be time enough for
them to have it when they were edu
cated sufiiieiently to know what was
right and what was wrong. If ho was
compelled to choose between a rebel and
an ignorant negro, he would prefer the
negro ten thousand times before the
former. But as legislators were now,
in amending the Constitution, acting
for all future time, it behooves them
to be governed by deep and broad
principles. There were those in Con
gross who believed that the negro
should have the suffrage at once,

Misrepresentations of the Radicals,
The radical disorganizers in Con
gross and their organs throughout the
country aro doing theirimtmost to cre
ate a false imhression in regard to
President Johnson's course in reference
to restoration. On no one point is this
more marked than on the position of
Mr. Johnson in regard to the admis
sion of Southern representatives in
Congress. They are constantly harp
ing upon a statement that the Presi
dent is trying to force Congress to re
ceive late Rebels and Secessionists into
that body. Their organs aro filled
with misrepresentations of this kind,
all tending to create an impression on
the public mind that the Proficient is
insisting that the doors of the Nation
al Legislature shall bo opened to the
leading Secessionists, and the impor
tant trust of the nation placed in their
hands and at their disposal.
This is the butden of the radical
speeches and the song of the radical
editors. In this course they have to a
certain extent misled that portion of
the public who take only a superficial
glance at the policy of the Executive.
Their frequent reiterations of these
false statements have had the effect of
convincing many‘ that they aro true.
But nothing can be further from the
truth than their assertions about Pres
ident Johnson's position on the admis
sion of those Representatives, and none
know this better than the radical lead
ers. But it serves thoir purpose to keep
up their misrepresentations, and they
aro constantly repeating thorn. It is
part of their scheme for success in the
next Presidential election, and as long
es they see that the public are ready
to swallow their falsehoods, just So
long will they con ti nue to repeat them.
The position of the President on the
admission of Southern representatives
is so well defined, and has been so
plainly stated by him, that it does not
seem possible that any person with
the least self respect would have the
effrontery to repeat the malicious state
ments of the radicals. The policy of
Andrew Johnson on this point is pre
cisely this :
First. That the Southern States are
in the Union. Their ordinances of
secession being null and void, they
have never been oat, and aro legally
entitled to representation in Cmigross,
the same as New York or Ilasaelm
, setts.
Second. That wi.enever the people
in any of those States elect Union men,
of whose loyalty there can be no ques
tion or doubt, it is the duty of Con,
gress to admit them.
Bd. That all those claiming seats in
Congress from tho Southern States,
who were prominently identified with
the Rebel Government or Rebel army,
should be immediately rejected, and
their constituents requested to elect
loyal Union men in their—places.
Those three points cortmice Mr.
Johnson's uolicy on this subject. Noth
ing could 6o plainer or more fair than
this proposition. This is the position
he has been urging Congress to take.
But instead of meeting him on that
ground, they have appointed their
Central Directory," the Committee of
Fifteen, and refuse to consider .the
claims even of those men who fought
in the Union armies, and were loyal to
the Union in the darkest days of our
war. in order to sustain themselves
before the people in their opposition to
this plain, sensible, and practical plan,
they are continually asserting that the
President is trying to lorco them to
open the doors of Congress to the lead
ing secessionists. They know that if
the people once fully comprehend Mr.
Johnson's position they will rally to
his support en maw. But by a system
of misrepresentation they hope to cre
ate a prejudice against the Executive,
secure their own re election, and an
endorsement of their course in rejecting
all claimants for seats from the South.
The effect of the two systems will be
directly opposite. If that of the Pres
ident could be adopted it would
stronger the loyal Union mon in the
South, and, from necessity, make them
the nucleus for the controlling party
in all those States. The people would
at once see that their only course,their
only salvation, was 'in the election of
men who had not been prominently
identified with the secession cause;
while, on the other hand - , the policy
announced by Congress places the few
men who remained loyal and true to
the Government durin , the Rebellion
at the mercy of the old secessionists
and destroys their power and influence
at home. The late Rebels will very
justly say to such men as May - nurd,
Stokes, and Marvin :—Yon might as
well have united with us in the Rebel
lion. You have gained nothing by
remaining loyal to the United States;
for now that the war is over you are
received no better by Congress than
we are. So long as Congress places the
loyal men of the South in this position
there is no possible chance for the
growth of union sentiment in those
States. The people cannot see bow
they are going to gain anything by
electing loyal men to represent them
in Congress, and the result is that they
are daily losing their strength and in
fluence at home, Thus, while the pol
icy of the President, is carried out,
will strengthen and increase the Union
sentiment of the Sou th,and make those
men who remained loyal throughout
the war the basis for the goyerning
party in that section, that pursued by
Congress emboldens the secessionists
and continues the political control of
all of those eleven States in the hands
of the very men who 10,1 the people

is the issue between the President and
the radicals. Let the people take their
choice.
But the radicals tire determined that
the issuo shall not he made up in-this

.and spreading false
statements of Johnson's position before
the country in hopes of misleading the
public. They adopt for this purpose
the cry that the President urges the
admission into Congress of all who
have been elected in the late rebellious
States. There is not a shadow of truth
in this assertion. But they have an
object in their persistence in these
statements. They are determined to
keep tho Southern States Atirepresen—
ted until after another Presidential e.
leetion, and titko this course to justify
their action before the people. By
keeping those States out they imagine
that they can secure the eloction'of
their candidate for the Presidency in
1868. . •
'This is the secret of all their move
ments. Party and power, instead of
the interests of the country, are the
motives that actuate them. If they
are permitted to carry out this scheme,
then we may look for another revolu
tion and more bloody scenes than any
that wo have heretofore witnessed.
Suppose, for instance, that in the elee,
Lion of 1868 the parties are nearly bah
anced in the Northern States, or that
the radicals have only one or two ma
jority in the Electoral College, and
that the Southern States, which have
been decided by the Supreme Court to
be States in the Union, although not
represented in Congress, should hold
their elections and give their electoral
votes to the conservative candidate.
The result would be that wo would
plunged into a struggle at once for the
possession of the Government. This is
the logical result and the sequence to
the present policy of the radicals. It
Iconic( be u struggle both fierce and
relentless. This the President wishes
to avoid, and has designated a policy
which will secure a peaceful and per-,
menent restoration of the country,
without any danger of collisions here,
after. If the people desire an.early
and amicable adjustment of the affairs
of the nation,
and to avoid all breakers
ahead, then let them rally to the
port of the President. But if they de
sire another war, another revolution,
they can have it by sustaining the rad
ical Jacobins. This is the issue, and
the people must not be deceived in re 4
pre! to it.
Influence of the Press.
Ina sermon on Thanksgiving Dar
by the Rev, Kr. Leaken, rector of
Trinity (Episcopal Church). Baltimore,
be said
Shall reserve the remainder of my
roniarks for a subject which is rarely
alluded to in the pulpit r but which is
exercising a most important influence
upon every State, city, villaaei county,
and family of our Union. I refer to
the press—the newspaper—which front
the smallest beginning, a luxury for
the favored few, has become indispen,
sable to - millions and whose power in
forming public sentiment is uumeasur,
able.
"To illustrate remotely the-influence
of this power, suppose a person of in,
telligence coining to your family every
morning. He informs you of all that
bas occurred in your city, in your coun
try, in Europo or distant Asia. He
gathers the details of each interesting
event; he attends each important
meeting, and tells you what is said and
done. In rain and tempest, in summer
and winter, does thiS person pay you
his daily visit, and not only brings
you information, but gives you his
opinion on each question, that arises.
In time he becomes ono of you; ho is
identified with your family and the
character of yourself and those around
yon have been moulded by this con
stant contact.
"But the newspaper does more. It
brings you an hundred different arti
cles, besides advertisements. It can
be read at leisure. It can be read at
leisure. Its information reaches chil
dren, and it is read by servants. It
forms the subject; of ef.mversation ' and
plies its ceaseless visits to your home,
instructive, entertaining and interes
ting to all. Thive I ever estimated
the force of this mighty engine ?. The
French Encyclopmdist helped to pro
duce the French revolution by means
of ponderous books reaching the learn-
ed few.
"What increased influence must the
modern press exert,scattering its myr
iad thoughts daily among the millions!
How noble the ministry of the editor!
low vast his capacity for good or evil!
Ho may enter the family daily and
diffuse cheerfulness by' his diversified
thoughts. lie may dry the tear of
sorrow, animate the weary pilgrim to
renewed exertions,arresting the young
man in his downward career, and
shield the humble and deihncelese
against the invasion of poWer. We
have prayed for the President of the
United States, and for all in authority
—for our Senators and representatives
in Congress assembled. And shall we
forget those who make our President
and determine our representatives?''
