THE PRESIDENT AND RESTORATION
Visit from a Virginia Delegation.
What the President Said to Them.
An Important Exposition of His Policy
WAsarmcrox, Feb. 10.—This afternoon a
committee from the Senate and House of
Delegates of the State of Virginia called
- upon the President for the, purpose of pre
senting him with resolutions adopted by
the General Assembly of Virginia. The
following named gentlemen constituted the
Committee: From the Senate—Messrs. E.
F. Keon, A. J. Gray and Dale Carter. From
the House of Delegates—Messrs. John B.
Baldwin, James Marshall, P. R. Gratten,
A. G. Pendleton and Wm. T. Joynes.
They are mostly gentlemen of acknow
ledged ability, and, it is claimed, fully re
present the State geographically and politi
cally being from North, South, East and
WeseVirginia, and of every shade of past
and present politics.
James Marshall, a venerable looking gen
tleman, is a nephew of the celebrated Chief
Justice of that name. Marshall, Gratten
and Judge Joynes are among, the ablest
lawyeta of the State. ,
Address of Mr. Baldwin.
Mr. Baldwin, Speaker of the House of Dele
gates, as Chairman of the Committee, pre
sented the resolutions and delivered the
following addiess on behalf of the Com
mittee:
Mr.. President—We are a committee of
Senators and Delegates, sent to present to
you, in person certain resolutions which
have received the unanimous approbation of
the General Assembly of Virginia. We
come as representatives sent by one of the
States of this Union, to confer with our Con
stitutional President in regard to matters
affecting the common good, and therefore of
interest to all the States and all the people.
We come to you, Mr. President, for the
reason that you recognize our common in
terest in the Government under which we
live, and because thus far we have been de
nied the constitutional means of communi
cation •by which other States and other
people make known their opinions, pur
poses and feelings in the councils of the
nation. In declaring that the people of
Virginia and their representatives accept
and abide by the results of the late con
test, and that they intend in good
faith to meet all the obligations
thereby incurred, the General As
sembly expresses a sentiment and a pur
pose which have been uniformly recog
nized by our people individually and in
masses and in regard to which there is no
hesitation or division in all Virginia.
Chief among the results thus accepted is the
universal conviction that the union of these
States is an established and enduring fact,
and that the whole fixture of our people is
indissolubly bound up for weal or woe
with the success or failure of the Govern
ment of the United States. We recognize
that Government as our Government;
its Constitution as our Constitution;
the duties which it promises are
our rights. Another great result alike ac
cented by our people is the final over
throw of the institution of slavery. This
has been completed by a Constitutional
Amendment, the binding force of which is
universally admitted; for, although we
were not represented in the Congress by
which it was proposed, the failure to be so
represented was of our own choice. The
condition of the freedmen among us, and
the policy to be adopted with regard to
them, will be recognized by you as calling
for the exercise of the highest faculties of
the statesman and the best feelings of the
Christian philanthropist.
The General Assembly of Virginia is en
gaged earnestly in the consideration of
these subjects, and in anticipation of the
results of their labors, we can only say
that whatever policy may be adopted will
be addressed in good faith and with kind
feeling to the improvement of the physical,
intellectual and moral condition of our
freedmen. You can understand and will
readily believe that the feelings of our peo
ple towards these freedmen are those of
kindness, sympathy and good will,. and
that to treat them with harshness or injus
tice is opposed as much to our feelings as it
is to our interests and our sense of right.
The policy pursued by you, Mr. President,
toward Virginia, and other States in like
condition, has its strong foundation in broad
and comprehensive views of constitutional
right and natural policy, and must look f
its ultimate success upon the conservative
sense of justice of the people of all the States.
It is due, however, to you and to our peo
ple to assure you that when our General
Assembly declare the universal approval
of that policy by the people of Virginia,
they express what each one of this com
mittee here present knows to be a living
proof. -
It happens that your position places you
between us and a threatened danger, and
the General Assembly have but given voice
to the real feelings of our people when they
tender to, you the warmest thanks of Vir
ginia for the firm stand you have taken
against the facility with which it is proposed
to change the fundamental law. We would
not, however, claim as the only or even the
chief merit of the course you are taking,
that it affords to us protection in a time of
trouble. It is as a defender of the general
Constitution that you deserve and command
the confidence and support of the people of
the United States; and it will be hereafter
remembered as your highest claim to the
character of a republican statesman that,
under all the trying circumstances by which
you are surrounded, you have not only
proclaimed the Constitution of the United
States to be the supreme law of this land,
but have defended it alike from violation
and from innovation.
Response of the President.
The President—ln reply, gentlemen, to
the resolutions you have just presented to
me, and the clear and forcible and concise
remarks which you have made in explana
tion of the position of Virginia, I shall not
attempt to make a formal speech, but
simply enter into a plain conversation in
regard to the condition of things in which
we stand. As a premise to what I may say,
permit me, first, to tender you my thanks
for tlds visit, and next to express the grad
. fication I feel in meeting so many intelli
gent, responsible and respectable men of
Virginia bearing tome the sentiments which
. have been expressed in the resolutions of
your Legislature and in the remarks accom
panying them. They are,
so far as they
refer to the Constitution of the country, the
sentiments and the principles embraced in
that charter of the Government. The pre
servation of the Union has been from my
entrance into pdblic life one of my cardinal
tenets.
At 'the very incipiency of the rebellion,
I set my face against the dissolution of th
Union of the States. I do not make, this
allusion for the purpose of bringing up
anything which has transpired, which
may be regarded as of
.an unkind or un
pleasant character, but I :believed then, as
I believe now and as you.have most unmis
takably tndicated, „ that the, security and
the protection of the rights of all the people
were to be found in the Irtilon,.that we
were certainly safer in the Union than
we were out of it. ;Upon this conviction
based my' opposition to tbe efforts which
were made to destroy the 'Union.. I have
continued these efforts ? "notwiths6riding
the perils' tough which I have passed,
and you are not unaware the trial has
teen a severe one, When opposition to
the
the
came from - one section
of- - , the country, and= that the section
in which my :life [had been passed,
and with which my interests were identi
fied, I stood, as I stand .now, contending for
the Union '
and asseverating that the oest
and surest way to obtain our rights and to
protect our interests was to remain in the
Union, under the ' protection of the Consti
tution.
The ordeal through which we have passed
during the, last four or five years demon
strates most conclusively that that opinion
was right, and to-day, after the experiment
has been-made, and has failed, after the de
monstration has been most conclusively
afforded that this Union cannot be dis Solved,
that it was not designed to be dissolved, it
is gratifying to me to meet gentlemen asin
telligent and as responsible as yourselves,
who are willing and anxious to accept and
do accept the terms laid down in the Consti
tution and obedience to the laws made in
pursuance thereof. We were at one period
separated; the separation was to me pain
ful in the extreme; but now, after having
gone through a struggle in which the pow
ers of the Government have been tried,
when we have: swung around to a
point at which we meet to agree,
and we are willing to unite our efforts
for the preservation of the Government
which I believe is the best in the world, it
is gratifying to me to meet you to-day,
standing upon common ground, rallying,
around the Constitution and, the Union of
those States, the preservation of which, as I
conscientiously and honestly believe, will
result in the promotion and advancement
of this people.
I repeat, I am gratified to meet you tO
day, expressing the principles and an
nouncing the sentiments to which you have
given utterance, and I trust that the occa
sion will, long be remembered. I have no
doubt that your intention is to carry out
and comply with every single principle laid
down in the resolutions you have submit
ted. I know that some are distrustful, but
I am of those who have confidence in the
jttdgment, in the fntegrity, in the intelli
gence, in the virtue of the great mass of the
American people, and, having such confi
dence, I am willing to trust them, and I
thank God we have not yet reached that
point where we have lost confidence in each
other. The spirit of the Government can
only be preserved—we can only beeome
prosperous., and great as:a people—by mu
tual forbearance and confidence. Upon that
faith and that confidence alone can the Go
vernment be successfully carried on. On
the cardinal 2principle of representation
to which you refer, I will make a single
remark.:
That principle is inherent. It constitutes
one of the fundamental elements of this
Government. The representatives of the
States and of the loyal people should have
the qualifications prescribed by the Consti
tution of the United States, and those qual
ifications must unquestionably imply
loyalty. He who comes as a representative
having the qualifications prescribed by the
Constitution to fit him to take a seat in
either of the deliberative bodies which con
stitute the National Legislature must neces
sarily, according to the intendment of the
Constitution, be a loyal man, willing to
abide by and devoted to the Union and the
Constitution of the States. He cannot be
for the Constitution, he cannot be for the
Union, he cannot acknowlege obedience to
all the laws, unless be is loyal. When the
people send such men in good faith they
are entitled to representation through
them.
In going into the recent rebellion or in
surrection against the United States we
erred, and in returning and resuming our
relations with the Federal Government I
am free to say that all the responsible po
sitions and places ought to be confined dis
tinctly and clearly to men who are loyal.
If there were only five thousand loyal men
in a State, or a less number, but sufficient
to take charge of the political machinery of
the State, those five thousand men, or the
lesser number, are entitled to it if all the
rest should be otherwise inclined. I look
upon it as being fundamental that the exer
cise of political power should be confined to
loyal men, and I regard that as implied in
the doctrines laid down in these resolutions
and in the eloquent address by which they
have been accompanied.
I may say, furthermore, that after having
passed through the great struggle in which
we have been engaged, we should be placed
upon much more acceptable ground in re
suming all our relations to the General Go
vernment, it we presented men unmistaka
bly and unquestionably loyal to fill the
places of power. This, being done, I feel
that the day is not far distant (I speak con
fidently in reference to the great mass of the
American people) when they will determine
that this Union shall be made whole, and
the great right of representation in the coun
cils o 1 the nation be acknowledged. Gen
tlemen, that is a fundamental principle.
"No taxation without representation" was
one of the principles which carried us
through the Revolution. This great princi
ple will hold good yet; and if vt'e but per
form our duty; if we but comply with the
spirit of the resolutions presented me to-day,
the American. people will maintain and
sustain the great doctrines upon which the
great Government was inaugurated. It can
be done, it will be done; I think that if the.
eftbrt be fairly and fully made with forbear
ance, and with prudence, and with discre
tion and wisdom, the end is not very far dis
tant,
It .seems to me apparent that from every
consideration the bestlpolicy which could be
adopted at present, would be a restoration
of these States, and of the government upon
correct principles. We have some foreign
difficulties, but the moment it can be an
nounced that the union of the States is
again complete—that we have resumed our
career of prosperity and greatness—at that
very instant almost all our foreign difficul
ties will be settled; for there is no power
upon the earth which will care to have a
controversy or a rupture with the .have
of the United States under such cir
cumstances. If these States be fully re
stored the area for the circulation of the
national currency, which is thought by
some to be inflated to a very great extent,
will be enlarged, the number of persons
through whose hands it is to pass will be
increased, the quantity of commerce in
which it is to be employed as a medium of
exchange will be enlarged, and then it will
begin to approximate what we all desire, a
specie stanuard.
If all the States were restored, if peace and
order reigned throughout the land, and all
the industrial pursuits, all the avocations of
peace were again resumed, the day would
not be vexy far distant when we should put
into the commerce of the world $250,000,000
or $300,000,000 worth of cotton and tobacco,
and the various products of the Southern
States, which would constitute, in part, a
basig of this currency. Then, instead of the
cone being itr..erted, we should reverse the
position, and put the - base of the bottom, as
it ought to be, and the currency of the
country would rest on, a sound and enduring
basis. And' surely that is a result which is
calculated to . promote" the interests, not only
of onesection, but of •the whole country
from one extremity to the other. indeed, I
look;upon the restoration of these States as
the thing : indispensable to.all our greatness.
Gentlemen'T know . nothing farther that I
could say in the expressfon. of my, feelin,ga
on this occasion—and they are not affected a
more thud() add that" .•I shall continue in
the same line of policy, which I punned
from the commencementof the rebellion to
the present period.. biy efforts have been to
preserve' .the union" of the States. .I :have.
never, for a single moment entertained the
opinion that_a State could withdraw from
the Union Of RS '6wri will: 'The attempt
was made. It has failed. I continue to

has failed, and now I cannot take the posi
tion that a State which attempted to secede
is out of the Union when I contended all the
time that it ,could not go Mit, and that it
never has been out. .
I cannot be forced into that position.
Hence, when the Stites and the people
shall have complied with- their- require
ments of the Government, , I shall .be in
favor of their resuming their former relit
lions to this Government in. all respects.
do not intend to say anything personal; but
you know as well as I do that at the,begin
ning of the recent gigantic struggle between
the different sections of the country there
were extreme men South and there were ex
treme men North. I might Make use of a
homely figure which is sometimes as good
as any other, even, in the illustrations of
great and important questions, and say that
it has been hammer at one end of the line
and anvil at the other.
. - - -
And this great Government, the best the
world ever saw. was kept upon the anvil,
and it was hammered before the rebellion,
and it has been hammered since the rebel
lion, and there seems to be a disposition to
continue the hammering until the Govern
ment shall be destroyed. I have opposed
that system always, and I oppose it now.
The Government, in the assertion of its
powers and the maintenance of the princi
ples of Constitution, has taken hold of one
extreme, and with the strong arm of phy
sical power has put down the rebellion.
Now, as we swing around the circle of the
Union, with a fixed and unalterable deter-
mination to stand by it, if we find the coun
terpart or the duplicate of the same spirit
that played to this feeling and these persons
at the South, this other extreme.. which
stands in the way, must get out of it, and
the Government must stand unshaken and
unmoved on its basis. This Government
must be preserved.
I will only say, in conclusion, that I hope
all the people of this country, in good faith
and in the fullness of their hearts, will,
upon the principles which you have enun
ciated here to-day, of the maintenance of
the Constitution, and the preservation of
the Union, lay aside every other feeling for
the good of our common country, and, with
uplifted faces to Heaven, swear that our
gods and our altars, and all shall sink in
the dust together, rather than this glorious
Union shall not be preserved. [Great ap
plause.]
I am gratified to find the legal sentiment
of the country developing and manifesting
itself in these expressions; and, now that
the attempt to destroy government hat.
failed at one end of the line, I trust we shall
goon, determined to preserve the Unton in
its original purity against all opposers. I
thank you, gentlemen. for the compliment
you have paid me, and I respond most cor
dially to what has been said in your resolu
tions and address, and I trust in God that
the time will soon come when we can meet
tinder more favorable auspices than we do
now.
Mr. Baldwin—Mr. President, as an as
surance that we represent the sentiment of
the State, i beg leave to introduce to you
the members of the Committee, and tt
name the parts of the State from which they
come, in order that you may be certitiee
that this is a fair representation of ail nen:
of Virginia. I introduce to vou Mr. Keen_
the Senator from Spottsylvania; Mr. Joyna,
the delegate from Petersburg; Mr. Carter,
Senator from the county of Russell; Mr.
Marshall, delegate from the county of Fau
quier; Mr. Gray, Senator from the county
of Rockingham; Mr. Pendleton delegate
from the county of Giles- Mr. Gratten, dele
gate from the city of Richmond. We claim
this to be a fair and equally distributed
representation of the people of Virginia.
The gentlemen named, as their name
were mentioned, stepped forward and shook
the President by the hand.
The President added—l am happy to meet
you, gentlemen. As I said to another dele
gation the other day, I have no ambition
and no object beyond the restoration of thi ,
Government. I feel that lam in a position
where I can afford to do right. I have occu
pid during my career many different posts
in this Government. I started at one of the
humblest cabins in the country, and have
passed through the State Legislature, the
Gubernatorial chair, both Houses of Con
gress, the Vice-Presidency of the United
States, to the position which I now occupy.
The climax, the acme to the summit of my
ambition has been fully reached—
yea, more than reached. If now I can
only arrive at a point at which thes-
States are all restored, each having
the representation in the national coun
cils, with the Union restored, so that we cat,
once more proclaim peace and good will
among the people of the United States, i'
will be to me a happy day. I care not what
may be said in taunt or jeer; I care not what
may be insinuated; but I tell you that when
ever I shall have reached that point, the
measure of my ambition will have been
filled and more than filled. I have no ob
ject beyond it. Oh, how proud and gratify
ing it would be to me to retire from this
place, feeling and knowing that I had been
instrumental in consummating this great
end. [Great applause.]
The delegation then left the President's
room, after each delegate again shook Pre
sirisnt Johnson by the hand.
