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.
