am* .izasur. , • . Inaugural Address of :GOvernor Ward, Delivered at Trenton; Jan, 10,1866. Gentlemen of The Senate anicl of the General Aisembly: In assuming the responsible and important duties devolving upon me as the Chief Magistrate of this State, I desire to in voke the guidance of Almighty God, that I - may be enabled so to adnainister my office as to redound to the welfare and happiness Of-thepeople, and to the honor of the State. While I bring little experience in Govern mentaltdfaim to the disci:dirge of the duties of the position, whiela, by the generous suf frages of the. people of my native State, I have been led to fill, I pledge an honest erideavor to meet its obligations to the best of my ability, and with a single eye to the general gwd. The past year has been an eventful one in the annals of our government,.and it will ever be memorable for the momentous events' which crowd its' history. A rebellion, the most wicked and the' most formidable the world has ever known, after four years of fearful warfare, has, by the valor of our troops, and by the wisdom and determina tion of our rulers, been crushed; the Con stitution and laws have been vindicated; and the authority of, the Government' re stored. Human slavery has heed extin guished and prohibited forever, and the millions of a race who bAve drank its bitter cup now drink the pure waters of Liberty. No longer may one man hold another in bondaze, but all Are held, equal under the law, entitled to equal protection, and alike permitted to enjoy liberty and happi- In painful contrat with these blessings ofpeace'and realization of universal free dom, which the past year has brought us, is the lanantable death of Abraham Lincoln, a martyr to his country's cause. The signal and illustrious services of his life, his pure and noble character, are now everywhere Admitted and admired. They will ever bless and honor ns as a nation. I have received from the Honorable, the Secretary of State of the United States, an official copof the Joint Resolutions which were by Congress on the first day of February last, proposing an amendment to the Federal Constitution, and requesting thatl would cause the decision of the legis lature to be taken on the subject. The resolutions are in the following words : "ARTICLE XIII. , SECTION 1. Neither sla very involuntary . nor servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place sub ject to their jurisdiction. SEC. 2. Congress shall have power to en force this article by appropriate legislation." The Constitution of the - United States pro vides that the concurrence of three-fourths of the States shall be necessary to ratify an amendment to that instrument before the same can go into effect. The required number of States is supposed to have already adopted the amendment, and the vote of New Jersey may not be ne cessary to the ratification. But for the honor of our State and people,we should avail our selves of the occasion which is here afforded us of giving the weight of our endorsement to the extinguishment forever of human slavery in our land. The people of the State by their late action at thepolls, have spoken clearly and emphatically in favor of this measure, and demand its prompt passage, which I know you will gladly accord. No argument is needed from me to secure your cordial support of this measure, which it is my high privilege to make the subject of my first recommendation. To the patriotic and gallant men who have fought our battle and' saved our.country from attempted destruction, we owe a debt of gratitude which we can never fully dis charge., It has been theirs to suffer and brave dangers; ours to enjoy the advantages of their sacrifices. It was my fortune dur ing the whole period of the war to be-en gaged in attention to the interests of the soldiers and their families, and :I probably have had as intimate, intercourse with our New Jersey troops as any individual in the State. I have seen them in camp, on the march, and in the hospital, weary, bleeding, and dying; suffering trials and. privations the most appaling to which men could be subjected, and it is my pride to bear testi mony to their uniform patience, fortitude and even cheerfulness—willing to sacrifice comfort, health and life itself for their country, What Jersyman's heart does not swell with emotions of admiration and thankfulness towards those noble defenders of our nation's life? While in European countries the dis banding of large armies is fraught' with much evil, and is , regarded with anxiety by the inhabitants, my observation here has been that, as a general rule the returned veterans of the Union army are even more intelligent, more worthy, and better citi zens, than when they left ttheir horries. The workshop,the farm and all the departments of labor, now witness their willing efforts to provide for themselves and promote the public weal. At the last session of the Legislature, joint resolution were passed authorizing the purchase of a site and the erection of build ings for the" New Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers." The commissioners appointed under the resolutions report that they have selected a site, with buildings already erected, well adapted to the purposes of the proposed institution, and that they are now negotiating for the purchase and possession of the premises. I therefore earnestly re commend the . passage of a law making suitable provisions in relation thereto. A liberal policy should be observed to wards those who have become disabled in their country's service. They are entitled to our cohsideration; and humanity, justice, and the honor of the State require that they should be tenderly cared for during their disability. To those returned soldiers who are able and willing to rest me their usual industrial avocations, I deem it to be the duty of the State and of individuals, sofar alit is practi cable, tQgive employmeatand every needed assistance. They ask for labor so that they may provide for themselves and their de pendent families; and common gratitude demands that they should have it. The tax laws should be revised and amended, so as to reach all property, and secure, as far as - possible, an equal division of the burdens of taxation upon all the in habitants of the State, in just proportion to the value of their property. And permit me to say, thisimportantpart of your duties should receive your attention at as early a period in your session as you can find it convenient. In order to obtain money to prosecute the war for the Union, it was found necessary by the authorities of the State, and by the General Government, to issue bonds with the condition that they should be free from taxation. The loyal men and women of the country, with true patriotism. advanced sums upon the terms mentioned in the laws authorizing the loans. This indebtedness, principal and interest, should be paid in ex act accordance with the agreement upon which it was borrowed. To do less would be to put the seal of infamy , upon us as a people, and would, I think, justly blast the reputation of all who should consent to it. May the day never come. and I believe it never will, when any contract or obligation of our National or State Government shall be repudiated, or fail to be promptly fulfi sled. Should designing men arise, professing good towards the people, but in fact seeking per sonal ends, advocate the wicked and dis graceful doctrine of repudiation, let such be regarded as enemies of the State, and as un worthy of your confidence. Men seeking to array one portion or class of society against another have always existed, and perhaps always will, butthey are nevertheless dema gogues, and should be treated as such. In a country so favored as ours, affording the most varied_ oppo r tunities to . all4eal ousies between different classes of men are' alike needless and Wrong.' Everk sttition, of life has its , sphere of duties and useful ness,, and there is a mutual dependence ex isting between all classes," of. Men. jThe labor Of the husbandman, the enterprise and "skill otthe mechanic. and artisan, the plodding industry of the laborer all con tribute to the comfort and well-being of society—while the capitalist, the'merchant, and the professional. man are necessary to protnote the thrift, harmony and complete ness of the whole. Itlew.Tersey has before it a most promising future. Its' geographical position, the health , fulness of its climate, the adaptability of its soil to agricultural pursuits, a remunerative_ market reached by convenient transpOrta lion, both natural and artificial, its mineral wealth all developed by the intelligence and industry of our people, must secure a measure of prosperity.unsurpassed by any other State. _ One of the most important and interesting subjects which can claim the -attention of the Legislature is the education ofthe yenth of the State:, To place public , instruction within the reach of every child, so that the intellect may be 'developed and the heart cultivated, that useftil knowledge and virtue may be diskeininated generally in society, in our highest duty. The individual is thue rendered more happy and respectable, and incalculable benefits are conferred on society. It is thus the risinggeneration will be quali fied ter an intelligent performance of the active duties of life, and prepared to meet, and exercise, their political rights and Obli gations. To maintain the purity of the ballot box, to secure the elective funrchise to those only who are lawfully authorized to enjoy it, is our plain duty.' It is dne alike to our selvis and to posterity, that we should guard witbjealons care, this distinguishing leature of our republican system. Upon an honest and intelligent exercise of this sacred privilege, depend the perpetuation of 'our liberties and their mission to succeed ing generations. In view of the great impor tance of this subject, I would favor such amendments to our election laws as will protect the constitutional rights of every citizen,by throwing such guards around the ballot box as will tend to prevent illegal voting and secure a fair and honest expres sion of the will of the people. No detailed statement of the finances of the State or more specific reference to sub jects that will engage your attention, will 'be expected of me on the present occ asion. The amount and particulars of the State debt, have been presented by my prede cessor in office, in his recent Annual Mes sage. It need hardly be said that in view of the magnitude of the debt it becomes the especial duty of the Legislature and every officer of the State to aim with conscientious endeavors at the utmost practicable econo my in the conduct of the business of the State, that the burdens of taxation, neces sarily large, may receive no avoidable in crease. Amongthe duties which will devolve upon the Executive, is the appointment of various officers in the several departments of the State Government. In discharging these delicate and responsible duties, I shall have regard to the ability, fitness and integrity of candidates, and so far as Is consistent with this determination, to their fair distri bution in the different sections of the State. Should my action not accord with the views of others, and sometimes disappoint the ex pectations of friends, I trust that those who differ from me, will do me the justice to believe, that though I may err injudgment, I have had in view only the best interest of the State. In reference to national affairs, I have full faith in the ability, patriotism and fidelity of Andrew Johnson, the President of the United States. I feel confidant that through his action and that of Congress, we shall soon have a reconstructed Union, in,wlaich the_natural rights of all men will be fully guaranteed. I trust that you will manifest on all occasions your confidence in the Ex ecutive and Congress, and sustain and strengthen those who,with them, are charged with the administration of the National Go vernment. Permit me in conclusion, to express the confidence I feel that in discharging the im portant duties committed to yon as mem bers of the Legislature, purity and wisdom will govern and distinguish all your acts. For myself, justly estimating the impor tance and difficulties of the duties which await me in the station to which I have been called, I crave your generous co-oper ation, pledging on my part a cheerful con currence in all measures whichshall tend to promote and perpetuate the honor and pros perity of New Jersey.
