PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S VALEDICTORY Farewell Address of tbe Betlrlnr Peeol dent to the People of the United States —BeTlew or the Closing Administration —The Policy of the Post, Ao, ■_ Washington, March 8, ■Johnson, bs coo of his last official acts, Issues the following: ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED . STATES, The robe of office, by constitutional limi tation, this day falls from my shoulders, to be immediately assumed by my successor. For him the'co-operation and forbearance of the American people in all his efforts to administer the government within the pale of the federal constitution are sincerely in voked. Without ambition to gratify, party ends to subserve, or personal quarrels to avenge at the sacrifice of the peace and welfare of the country, my earnest desire Is to sde the constitution as defined and limited by the fathers of the republic again recognized and obeyed as the supreme law of the land, and the whole people, North, South, East and West, prosperous and happy under its wise provisions. Surrendering the high office to which I was called four years ago, at a memorable and terrible crisis, it is my privilege, I trust, to say to the- people of the United States a few parting words in vindication of an official course so ceaselessly assailed aud aspersed by political leaders to whose plans and wishes my policy to restore the Union haß been obnoxious. * In a period of difficulty and turmoil al most without precedent in the history of any people, consequent upon the closing scenes of a great rebellion, and the assas sination of the then President, it was, per haps. too much on my part to expect ol de voted paitisans, who rode on the waves of excitement which at that time swept all be fore them, that degree of toleration and magnanimity which I sought to recommend and enforce, and which I believe, in good time, would have advanced us infinitely further 6n the road to permanentpeaceand prosperity than we have thus far attained. Doubtless had I, at tho commencement of my term of office, unhesitatingly lent its powers or perverted them to purposes and plans outside of the constitution, and be come an instrument to schemes of confis cation, of general and oppressive disquali fications, Iwould have been balled us all that was true, loyal and discerning, as the reliable head of party, whatever 1 might have been asdhe Executive of the nation. Unwilling, however, to accede to tho propo sition of extremists, aud bound to adhere, at every personal hazard, to my oath to de fend tho constitution, I need not, porhaps, be surprised at having met the fate of others whose only reward for upholding constitu tional right and law buve been the con sciousness of having attempted to do their duty, and the calm und unprejudiced judg ment of history. At the time a mysterious Providence as signed to mo the ofiice of President, I was by the terms of tho constitution tho com mander-in-chief of nearly a million of men under arms. One of my first acts was to disband and restore to tho vocations of civil life this immense host, und to divest myself, so far os I could, of the unparalleled powers thon Incident to tho offico and the times. Whether or not in this step I was right, and how far deserving of the approbation of the people, all can now on rellection judge, when romindod of the ruinous condition of of public affuirs that must huve resulted from tho continuance in the military ser vice of such n vast number of ujon. Tho close of our domestic conflict found the army eager to distinguish itself in a now Hold by an elTorl to puuish Europouu Intervention in Mexico. By many it was believed und urged that, aside from tho ussumod justice of the proceeding, a for eign war, in which both sides would cheer fully unite to vindicate tho honor of the nutionul flag, and further illustrate tho na tional prowess, would be the surest and speediest wuy of awukoning national en thusiasm, reviving dovotlou to tho Union, und occupying a force concerning which gravo doubts existed us to its willingness, alter four years of active campaigning, at once to return to the pursuits of pouce. Wbethor these speculations were true or false, it will be conceded that they existod, and that tho prudiloctlons of tho army were for tho being, In tho direction Indicated.— Tuking advantage of this feeliag, it would huvo been easy, as the commander-in-chief ; of tho army and navy, atfll with all the power and patronage of tho Presidential cilice at my disposal, to turn the concen trated military strength of tho nation against French interference in Mexico, and to inaugurate n movement which would have boon received with favor by the mili tary and a largo portion of tho peoplo. It is proper, in this connection, that I should refer to the almost unlimited addi tional powers tendered to the Executive by the meusuros relating to civil rights and the froedmou’s bureau. Contrary to most precedents in the experiences of public men, the powers thus placed withifl my grasp wore declined us in violation of (he constitution, dangerous to tho liberties of tho people, and teuding to aggravate rather than lesson the discords naturally resulting from our civil war. With a large army ana uugmeuted authority it would have been no difficult task to direct at ploasuro the destinies of tho republic, and to make se cure my continuance in tho highest offico known to our laws. Lot the peoplo whom 1 mn addressing Irorn the Presidential chair, during ihe closing hours of a laborious term, consider how different would have been* their pres ent condition had I yielded to the dazzling temptation of foreign conquest, of personal uggrundizemeut, und thy desire to wield additional power. Let them, with justice, consider thut it I have not unduly * “mag nified* mine office,” the public burdens have not been increased by my acts,.and other, and pot haps thousands, or tens of thou sands, of lives sacrificed to visions of false glory! It cannot, therefore, be charged that ray ambition has been of that ordinary or eriminul kind which, to the detriment of the people’s rights aud liberties, seeks to grasp more and unwarranted powers, and to accomplish its purposes panders too often to popular prejudices and party alms. What, then, havo been the aspirations which havo guided me in my official acts? These acts need not at this lime an elabo rate explanation. They have been else where comprehensively slated and fully discuasod, and becomo a part of the nation’s history. By them I am willing to be judged, knowing that, however imperfect, they at least show tho impartial mind that my sole ambition has boon to restoro the Uuion of Stutes, faithfully to execute the office of President, and to tho best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend tbe constitu tion. v I cannot bo censured if my effort* have been impeded in the Interests of pnrty fac tions, and if a policy which wus intended to renssure und conciliate the people) oPboth sections of the country, wus made the oc casion oi inflaming und dividing'still fur ther, those who only recently in arms against each other, yet as individuals and citizens wore sincerely desirous, ns I shall ever believe, of burying uil hostile foldings in the grave of the past. The bitter war was waged ou tho part of tho government to vindicate the constitution und save the Union; and if I lmvo erred In trying to bring about a more speedy and lasting peace, to extinguish heart-burnings and enmities, and tnproyent troubles in the South, Which, retarding material prosperity in that region, lnj urlously affected the whole country, I am quite content to rest tny case with the more deliberate Judgment of the people, and, as l havo already Intimated, with the distant future. Tho war, all must remember, was a stu pendous and deplorable mistake. Neither side understood me oilier, and had this sim ple fact and Its conclusions been kept in view, all that was needed wuHjiccomplished by tho acknowledgment of the torrible wrong, aud the expressed bettor feeling and onruost endeavors at atonement shown und felt in tho prompt ratification of tho consti tutional amendmentsby tho Sou thorn States at tho close of the war. Not accepting the war as a oonfessed iulso step ou the part of those who inaugurated it was an error whioh not only time cun euro, und which, oven at this late date, wo should endeavor to pal liate. Experiencing, moreoyer.ns all have done, the frightful coat ot the arbitrament of the sword, Jet us in the future cling closerthan ever to the constitution as our only safe guard. It is to bo hoped that not until the burdens now pressing upon us with such feurful weight are removed, will our people iorgel the lessons of the war,and thatremem berlng them from whatever cause, peace between sections and States may be-per petuated. The history of late events in our country, as well as of the greatest governments of ancient and modern times, tenches that we have everything to fear from a departure from the letter ynd spirit of the constitution and the undue ascendaency of men allowed to assume power in what are considered desperate emergencies. Scylla, on becom ing master of Rome, at once adopted meas ures to crush his enemies ; and to conßoli date the power of his party, he established military colonies throughout Italy, depriv ed of the full Roman franchise the inhabit ants of the Italian towns who had opposed his usurpations, confiscated their lands and gave them to his soldiers, and conferred citizenship on a great number of slaves be longing to those who had proscribed him, thus creating at Rome a kind of body-guard for his protection. After having given Rome over to slaughter and tyrannies beyond all example over those opposed to him and the legions, his terrible instrument of wrong, Scylla could yetfeel safe in laying downthe insignia of power so dreadfully abused, and in mingling freely with the families and “isttds °fhis myriad victims. The fear which hehad inspired continued after his voluntary abdication, and even in retirement his will was law to a people who had permitted themselves to be enslaved. What but a subtle knowledge and convic tion that the Roman people had become changed, discouraged and broken in spirit could have induced this daring assump tion? What but public indifference tocon sequences so terrible us to leave Rome open to every calamity which subsequently be fell her could have justlfiod the conclusions -of the dictator and tyrant in his startliug experiment? We find that in the time which has since elapsed human natures and exigencies in governments have not greatly changed. Who. a few years past, in con templating our future, conld have supposed that in a brief period of bitter experience everything demanded in the name of mili tary emergency, or dictated by caprice, would come to be considered as mere mat ter of course ? That conscription, confisca tion, loss of personal liberty, the subjection of S:ates to military rule and disfranchise THE LANCASTER WEEKLY USTTELtii&EiSTGjBB, MARCH IQ, 186&; ment. with tho extension of tho right of suffrage merely, to eooompUah personal ends, would reoelve the nasilvesnbmlsslon, - lf.ntrtuoaulseoonoe of the people of the re pnbHo* It has been olearly dmonitratfd bv reoent oconrenoe* that enoroaohmenta noon the constitution cannot be prevented bribe President alone, however devoted or determined he may be, and that unless the people interpoee there is no power under the oontitution to check a dominant majori ty of two-thirds in the Congress of the. United States. . . . 4 An appeal to the nation, however, is at tended with too much delay to meet an emergency. While, if left free to act. the people would correct, in time, such evils as might follow legislative usurpation, there is danger that the same power which disre gards the constitution will deprive thorn of the right to change tb€ir rulers, except by revolution. Wo have already seen the Jurisdiction of the judiciary circumscribed when it was apprehended that the courts would decide against laws haying for their sole object the supremacy of party, while the veto power lodged in the Executive by the constitution for the Interests and pro tection of the people, and exercised by Washington ana his successors, has been rendered nugatory by a partisan majority of two-thirds In each branch of the national legislature. The constitution evidently contemplates that when*a bill la returned with the Pres ident’s objections it will be calmly recon sidered by Congress. Snch, however, has not been the practice under present party rule. It has become evident that men who fiass a bill under partisan Influence are not Ikely, through patriotic motives, to admit their error, and thereby weaken their own organization by confessing it under an of ficial oath. Pride of opinion, if nothing else, has intervened ana prevented a calm aDd dispassionate reconsideration of a bill disapproved by the Executive. Much as I venerate tho constitution, it must be admit ted that this condition or affairs has devel oped a defect which, under the aggressive tendency of the legislative department of the government, may readily work its overthrow. It may, however, be remedied without disturbing the harmony of the in strument. The veto powbr is generally exercised upon constitutional grounds; and whenever it Is so applied, and the bill returned with the Exenutive’s reasons, for withholding his signature, it ought to be immediately certified to the Supreme Court ol the United States for its decision. If its constitutionality shall be declared by that tribunal, it should then become a law, but if the decision is otherwise, it should fall, without power in Congress to re-enact or make it valid. In cases in which the veto rests upon hasty and inconsiderate legislation, and in which no constitutional question is involved, I would not change tho fundamental law, for in such cases no permanent evil can be incorporated into the federal system. It is obvious that without such an amendment the government, as it existed under the constitution prior to the rebellion, may be totally subverted and overthrown by a two-thirds majority in Congress. It is not, therefore, difficult to see how easily and how rapidly the people may lose, shall I not say have lost, their liberties by an unchecked and uncontrolla ble majority in the law-making power and when once deprived of their rights how powerless they are to regain them. Lot us turn for a moment to the history of the majority in Congress which has acted in such utter disregard of the constitution. While public attention has been carefully und constantly turnod to the past aud ex piated sins of the South, the servants of the people iu high places have boldly betrayed their trusts, broken their ouths of obedi ence to the constitution, and undermined the very foundations of liberty, Justice and good government. When the rebellion was being suppressed by tho volunteer services of patriotic sol diers, amid tho dangers of tho battlo-iicld, these men orept, without question, into place and power In tho national councils. Aftor all danger had passed, when no arm ed foe remained, when a famished and re pentant people bowed their heads to the flag aud renewed their allegiance to the govern ment of the United Stutes, then it was that pretended patriots appeared belore the notion and began to prate about the thou sands of lives and millions of treasure sac -filmed in the suppression of tho rebellion. They have since persistently sought to in flame the prejudices engendered between the sections, to retard the restoration of peace and harmony, and by every means to keep open and exposed to tho poisonous breath of party passion the terrible wounds of a four years’ war. They have prevented the return of peace and the restoration of the Union, in every way rendered delusive the purposes, promises and pledges by which tho armv was murshaled, treason rebuked and rebellion orushed, and made the liberties of the people and the rights and powers of the President objects of constant ultack. They have wrested from the Presi dent his constltutipnal power of supreme command of the army and nayy; they have destroyed the strength and efficiency oftbe executive department by making subordi nate officers independent of and able to dofy their chief; they have attempted to plnce tho' President under the power of a bold, defiant' and treacherous cabinet officer; they have robbed the Executive of the prerogative of pardon rendered null and void acts ofclera ency granted to thousand of persons under the provisions of the constitution, and com mitted gross usurpation by legislative at tempts to exercise this power in favor ot party adherents. They have conspired to change the system of our government by preferring charges against the President, in the form of articles of Impeachment, and contemplating before hearing or trial that he should be placed in arrest, held in dur ance, and when it became their pleasure to pronounce his sentence, driven from place and power in disgrace. VThey have in time of peace increased the national debt by a reckless expenditure of the public moneys, aud thus added to the .burdens which al ready weigh upon the people. They have permitted the nation to sutler the evils of a ueranged currency, to the enhancement in price of all the necessaries of life. They nave maintained a large standing army for tho enforcement of their measures of op pression. They have engaged in class leg islation, and built up and encouraged mo nopolies, that the few might be enriched at the expense of the many. They have failed to act upon important treaties, thereby endangering our peaceful relations with foreign powers. Their course of usurpations has not been , limited to inroads upon the executive de partment. By ifnconstitutional and oppres sive enactments the people of ten States of the Union have been reduced to a condition more intolerable than that against which the patriots of the revolution rebelled. Millions ofour American citizens can now say of their oppressors, with more truth than our fathers did of the British tyrants, that they have “forbidden the Governors to pass luws of Immediate and pressing Im portance, unless suspended until their as sent should be obtained ; that they have re fused to puss laws for the accommodation of large districts of peoplo unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the Legislature—a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. That they have made judges depend upon their will ulone for tne term of their offices und the amount and payment of their salaries.” That they have erected a multitude of new offices, and Bent hither swarms of officers to harass our peoplo and eat out their sub stance. That they have “ufl’eoted to render tho military independent and suporinr to the civil power;” “combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution und unacknowledged by our laws.” “Quartered large bodies of urmed troops among us,'protected them by a mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on tho inhabi tants of these Stutes, Imposed tuxes upon us without our consent, deprived us in many cases of the benefit of trial by jury, tukon away our charters, excited domestic insur rection among us, abolished our most valu able laws, altered fundamentally tho forms ofour government, suspended ourown leg islatures, aud declurod themselves invested with power to legislate for us in nil cases whatsoever.” This catalogue or crimes long as it Is, is not yet complete. The constitution vests the judicial power of the United States In one Supreme Court, whose jurisdiction “ shall extend to all ca ses arising under this constitution" and " the laws of the United States.” Encour aged by this promise of a refuge from ty ranny, a citizen of the United States, who by the order of a military commander, giv en under tho sanction of a cruel and delib erate edict of Congress, has been denied the constitutional rights of liberty of con science, freedom of the press and speech, pereonul freedom from military arrest, of being held to answer for crime onlv upon presentment aud indictment, of trial by Jury, of the writ of habeas corpus, and the protection of civil and constitutional gov ernmeut. A citizen thus deeply wronged appeals to to the Supreme Court for the protection guaranteed to him by the organic law of the land. At once a fierce and excited ma jority, by the ruthless hand of legislative power, stripped the ermineirom the judges, transferred the sword ofjuatice to the gen eral, and remanded the oppressed citizen to a degradation and bondage worse than death. It will also be recorded as one of the mar vels of the times that a party claiming for itself a monopoly of consistency and pa triotism, and boasting of its unlimited sway, endeavored by a costly and deliber ate trial to impeach one who defended the constitution and the Union, not only throughout the war of the rebellion, but during his whole term of office as chief magistrate, but at the Bame time could find no warrant or means at their command to bring to trial even the chief of the rebellion. Indeed, the remarkable failures in his case were so often repeated that, for pro priety’s sake, if for no other reason, it be came necessary to extend to him an uncon ditional pardon. What more plainly than this illustrates the extremity of party man agement and Inconsistency on the one hand, and of faction, vindictiveness anti intoler ance on the other. Patriotism will hardly be encouraged when In such a record it sees that its instant reward may be the most virulent party abuse and obloquy, if not attempted dis grace. Instead of seeming to “ make trea son odious.” it would, in truth, seem to have been their purpose rather to make the defence of the constitution and the Union a crime, and to punish fidelity to an oath of office, if counter to party dictation, by all the means at their command. Happily for the peace of the country the war has determined against the assumed power of the States to withdraw at pleas ure from the Union. The institution of slavery aIBO found its destruction in a re bellion commenced in its interest. It should be borne in mind, however, that the war neither impaired nor destroyed the consti tution, but, on the contrary, preserved its existence and mads apparent its real power and enduring strength* All the rights granted to the States or re served to the people thereof remain, there* fore, intact. Among;tbose rights Is that of the people of each State to declare thaqual* locations of their own State eleotoru It is now assumed' that >Congress can control this vital right, whioh can never be taken away from the States without impairing the fundaments} principles of the government itself. It Is necessary to the existenoe of the States as well os to the pioteotion of the liberties oftbe people; for the right to select the electors In whom the political power of a State shall be lodged involves the right of the State to govern Itself. When deprived of this prerogative tho nave,no power worth retaining. All will be gone, and they will be subjected to the arbitrary; will of Congress. The government will then be centralized, if not by tbe passage of laws, then by the adop tion through partisan influence of anamend ment directly in conflict with tho original design of tbe constitution. This proves-how necessary It is that the people should require the administration of the three great departments of the govern ment strictly within the limits of the con stitution. Their boundaries have been ac curately defined, and neither should be allowed to trespass upon the other, nor above all to encroach upon the reserved rights of the people and the States. The troubles of tbe past four years will prove to the nation blessings if they produce so de sirable a result. Upon those who became young men amid the sound of cannon and the din of arms, and quietly returned to the farms, the factories, and the schools of the land, will principally devolve tbe solemn duty of perpetuating the union of the States, in defense of which hundreds of thousands of their comrades expired, and. hundreds of millions of national obligations wore incurred. A manly people will not neglect the training necessarv to resist ag gression. but they should be jealous lestthe civil be made subordinate to the military element. We need to encourage in every legitimate way a study of the constitution, for which the war was waged—-a knowledge of and reverence for whose wise checks, by those so soon to occupy the places filled by their B . 6n lofr a ’ will be tue only hope of preserving the Republic. The young men of the ua tiopr not. yet under the control ot party must resist the tendency to centralization, an outgrowth of the great rebellion, and be familiar with the fact that the country consists of united States, aud that when tbe States surrendered certain great rights for the sake of a more perfect union, tney re ! tained right as valuable aud important as those which they relinquish for the common weal. These old doctrines, far different from the teachings that led to tbe attempt to secede, and a kindred theory that States were taken out of the Union by the rash acts of conspirators that happened to dwell within their borders, must be received and advocated with the enthusiasm of early manhood, or the people will be ruled by corrupt combinations of the commercial centres, who, plethoric from wealth, annu ally migrate to the capital of tbe nation to purchuse special legislation. Until tbe re presentatives of the people In Congress more fully exhibit the diverse views and interests of the whole nation, und laws cease to be made without full discussion, at the behest of some parly leaders, there will never be a proper respect shown by the law making power, either to the Judicial or executive branch ol government. The generation just beginning to use tho ballot box, it is believed, only need that their attention should* be called to those considerations, to indicate by their votes that ihey wish their representatives to ob serve all the restraints which the people in adopting tho constitution intended to im pose upon party excess. Calmly review ing my administration of the government, I leel thut, with a sense of accountability to God, having conscientiously endeavored to discharge nty wholo duty. I huve nothing to regret, Events have proved tho cor rectness of the policy sot forth in my first and subsequent messages. Tho woes which have followed the rejection of forbearance, magnuuimity, and constitutional rule are deplored by the nation. It is a matter of pride and gratification, in retiriug from the most exalted position in the gift of a free people, to feel and know that In a long, arduous and eventful public life, my action has never been influenced by dosiro for gain, and that I can, iu all sincerity, inquire whom have I defrauded, whom have I oppressed, or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes therewith ? No responsibility for wars that havo been waged or blood that has been shed rests upon me. My thoughts have been those of peace.Vand my effort has ever been to allay contention among my countrymen. Forgetting the past, lot us return to the first principles of the government, and, un furling the banner of our country, inscribe upon it in uneffacablo characters, “the Con stitution and tho Union, one and insepara ble ” Andrew Johnson.
