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

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.
