As to an indication of any policy* Which may be jiureued by rfp in the admima-Sj trition of the government, I have to say that! that must: bo left for .development as the ad-J ministration progresses.. , -..-I The message or declaration must be ntadej by the. f ots as they, transpire. The only' ns .Buranoq thatX onn pdw give of tho future is reference to the past.' The course which-I have taken in the past in connection * with, this rebellion must be regarded as a guarari-1 tea of the future. My past public life, whiohs lias bepn long and laborious, hits been foand-J ed, as I in-good, conscience believe, Upon iif great principle-of right,, which lies at the ba-i sis of ail things.' The best energies of myS life have been spent in endeavoring to eetabrl lish and perpetuate the principles ot free gov-S : eminent, und J believe that tho goverornmoijia ;in passing through' its present pdrils.-wijlf i settle down upon principles consonant wrihi j popular rights more permanent and bndur-S ling than, heretofore. .I muat bo. feermUttfd!
