HE PRESIDENT AND HIS
POLICY.
-3Ele Makes Another
Speech.
The Questions of the Day Discussed
WASHINGTON, April 18.—At six o'clock
this evening a procession of soldiers and
sailors,and such of the friends as sympa
thize with them in their grateful acknow
ledgments to the President for his order
lately issued, directing the Heads of De
partments to give-preference in appoint
ments and promotions to the subordinate
offices to persons who have rendered honor
able service in the army and navy, was
formed and marched to the Executive Man
-sion with the Marine Band, to serenade
President Johnson, who had signified to the
committee that he would accept the com
pliment.
A very large number of persons of both
sexes were previously on the ground await
ing the demonstration. At 5.15 the band
played several patriotic airs, when the Pre
sident made his - ",appearance, and was
greeted with buzzes by the assembled thou
sands. He took a stand in the coping of
the Wall near the carriage way, on the
north side of the White House, when he
was addressed en behalf of the soldiers and
sailMszby one of their number in highly
oomPliMentaiy, terms, saying, in conclu
sion, "In' return for your kindness we can
but offer our sympathies , and prayers, and
trust that ail Allwise Providence,, who has
brought, our, nation through a baptism of
blood, and to whom we consecrate it anew.
from' slavery and by a nation's tears, will
so guide and direct you that. you may calm
the,
.troubled 'waters, harmonize public
opinion ' and restore our whole country once
more topeace and prosperity."
.ALddress of the President.
President Johnson said: It is not, affecta
tion in me to say that language is inade
quate to convey the heartfelt feelings pro
duced on this occasion by your presence
here, and by the presentation of your senti
ments, as expressed by your representative
in his address, and in the resolutions which
yon have thought proper to adopt. I con
fess that in the peculiar posture of public
affairs, your presence and address give
encouragement and confidence to me in my
efforts to discharge the dutues incumbent
upon me as Chief Magistrate of the Repub
lic; and in what I have to say I shall address
you in the character of citizens, sailors and
soldiers. I shall epeak to you on those terms
and on none other.
I repeat my thanksifor the manifestation of
your approbation, and of your encourage
ment. [Applause]. We are to-day in
volved in one of the most critical and trying
struggles that haveoccurred since this Gov
ernment was spoken into existence. Na
tions' like; individuals, must , have a begin
must have a birth. In struggling into
existence a-nation passes through its first
trying ordeal. It is not necessary for me
now, to carry your minds back to the strug
x_glawhen.tills. 1 1 0,011 was P9P2: It Is not
necessary for me to allude to the privations
-Land hardships of those who were engaged in
thatstruggle to achieve the national birth.
It is not necessary to point to the blood
plied and the liveslost in accomplishing that
result.
The next ordeal through which a nation
has to pass is when it is called upon to give
evidence that it has strength, capacity and
power to maintain itself among the nations
of the earthr hi giving such evidence we
passed through the war of 1812, and through
the war with Mexico,and 'we passed through
all the struggles that have occurred since up
to tho beginning of the Rebellion. This was
our second ordeal. But a nation has an
other test still to undergo, and that is to
give evidence to the nations of the earth,and
to its own citizens, that it has power to re
sist internal foes,thati it has strength enough
to put down treachery at home, and treason
within its own borders. [Cheers.]
We have commenced that ordeal, and I
trust in God we will pass through it sac
ceesfully, [Cheers.] feel complimented
by theallueiciri of yourrepresentative to the
fact that I stood in the Senate in 1860 and
'61, - when the nation was entering on this
third ordeal; and raised my voice and hand
against treason, treachery and traitors at
home.' [Cheers.] I stand here to-day,hold
ing to and maintaining the same principles
which I then enunciated. I stand here to
day' opposing traitors and treason, whether
they -be in the South or in the North.
[Loud cheers.] I stand here to-day as I
then stood, using all my powers, mental
and physical, to' preserve this nation is
passing throughthe third phase of its exist-
The - organited forces and combined powers
that recently stood arrayed against us are
disbanded and driven from the field; bat i
does not follow that there are still no ene
miels against our present form of govern
ment and our 'free institutions. [Applause.]
I then stood in the Senate - of the ..United.
States denying the doctrine of separation and
secession,' denied then as I deny now that
any Stt4 has the right of its own will to
separate ittelf from the other States, and
thereby'to destroy the Union and break up
the Governrnent,.and I think I have given
some evidence that I have been sincere and
in earnest, and now I want to know why it
is that the whole train of slanderers, calum
niators and traducers have been ,barking
and`snapping at my heels? Why is it that
they array themselves against me? Is it be
cause I stand on the side of the people, and
when I say the people I include the sailors
and soldiers? Why is it they are arrayed in
traducing and vilifying and calumniating?
Where were they during the rebellion? [A
voice—" Home in heel
In the Senate I raised my voice against it,
and When it was believed that it would be
to the interest of the nation, and would as
sist in putting down the rebellion, did I not
leave my place in the Senate—a place • of
emolument, ease and distinction, and take
my position where the enemy could be
reached, and where men's lives were in
danger? [Cheers and cries of "that's so!"]
While I was thus exposed personally and
publicly, and in every way, some of my
present traducers and calumniators. were
&r. removed from the foe, and were enjoy
ing ease and comfort. But I care not for
them; I Care not for that slander. The foal.
whelp of sin has been turned loose, against:me. I care not for all that, and let <me tell
you here to-day that, although pretty well
advtinced in life, I feel that I shall live long
enough to liVe down the whole pack of tra
ducers and slanderers. [Applause.]
They have turned the whole pack loose to
lower.,rne in your estimation, [Voices,
"They'. cannot, do it."] "Tray, Blanche and
Sweetheart, little dogs and.all," come along,
snapping and snarling, at. my heels, but I
heed them not. The American people, (AU
zena, soldiers anct-aailorty know that from
my adyent into pnblio life to the present
moment I haye always stood unyieldingly
and unwavering as. the -Vvacate -and de
fender , of their rights * and : interests.
[Cheers.] • - .
WO are now, in, the nation's third ordeal;
we are'net . Yet through it. We said , .. that;
States could not go out of the Union. we
denied the doctrine 'Of Secession, and we
havedemonstrated that we were right; we
demonstrated tby- the , -strong arm; yes, the
soldiers and_the sailors—God - bless theoil=
haveidemonstrated,by their patriotic hearts
and strong arms, that States have'notthe
!M
power to leaved the: inn.' , :
[Applause.]
'What followed?( The Confederate armies
were overpowered and disbanded, and -
there was a willingness, on' the part of the
people of those Mates, to come back, to- be
.
obedient to . the Jaws, and acknowledge
the supremacy of, the Constitution of oar,
fathers. , , - _
For what have we passed through this
ordeal? It was to establish the principle
that so States •had the power to bread up
this Government. It was to put down the
rebellion. The rebellion has been put down
and for what? Was it to destroy the States?
[Voices, "Never!"] For what have all these
lives been sacrificed and all this treasure ex
pended? Was it for the purpose of destroy
ing the States? No. It was for the purpose
of preserving the States in the Union. of - our
fathers. It was for that that you fought; it
was for that I toiled, not to break up the
Government, but to put down the rebellion
and preserve the union of the States. That
!is what we have been contending for, and
Ito establish the fact that the nation can lift
,itself above and beyond intestine foes and
;treason and traitors at home.
When the rebellion in Massachusetts was
put down, did that put Massachusetts out
of the Union and destroy that State? When
the rebellion in Pennsylvania was put
down did that destroy the State, and put it
but of the Union? So when this last great
rebellion was put down, and the Constitu
tion and laws of the country were restored,
the States engaged in it stood as part of the
Union. The rebellion being crushed, and
the law being restored, the Constitution be
ingacknowledged, those States stand in the
Union, constituting a part of - the glorious
and bright galaxy of stars. [Cheers.]
-In passing through this ordeal What has
been done? In Tennessee, under the direc
tion of my lamented predecessor, - we com
menced the work of restoration, and we
have succeeded, before I came here, in re
storing the relations which had existed be
twern Tennessee and the rest of the Union,
with one exception, and that was the rela
tion of representation.
I came to Washington and under extraor
dinary circumstances succeeded to the Pre
sidential chair. What then? The Congress
of the United States had adjourned without
prescribing any plan. I then proceeded- as
I had in my own State, under direction of
the Government, to restore the other States;
and how did we begin? We found that the
people had no courts, and we said to the
judges, the district-attorneys and the mar
shals, "Go down and hold your courts, the
people need the tribunals of justice to be
opened." Was there anything wrong in
that? The courtswere opened. What else?
We looked out and saw that the people
down there had no mails, they had been in
terrupted and cut off by the operations of
the rebellion. We said to the Postmaster-
General, "Let the people have facilities for
mail communication, and let them begin
again to understand what we all feel and
think—that we are one people."
We looked out again, and saw that there
was a blockade; that the custom hot:l2es
were all closed. We said, open the doors of
the custom houses and remove the block
ade; let trade and commerce and thepur
suit of peace be restored, and it was done.
We thus traveled on step by step, opening
up custom houses, appointing collectors, es •
tablishing mail facilities, and restoring all
the relations that had been interrupted by
the rebellion. Was there anything under
taken to be done here that was not autho
rized by the Constitution, that was not jus
tified by the great necessities of the case;
that has not been clearly consonant with
the Constitution and with the genius and
theory of our Government?
One of the great principles laid down by
our fathers, and which fired their - hua rta
was that there should be no taxation with
out representation. How, then, does that
matter stand? Who has been usurping
power? Who has been defeating the opera
tion of the Constitution? What now re
mains to be done to complete the restoration
of those States to all their former relations
under the Federal Government, and to
finish the great ordeal through which we
have been passing? It is to admit repre
sentation, and when we say admit repre
sentation, what do we mean? We mean
representation in the constitutional and law
abiding sense, as was intended at the be
ginning of the Government, and where does
that power lie?
• What remained to be done? One other
thing remained to demonstrate to the civil
ized and Pagan world that we had passed
through the horrid ordeal of our national
existence, and proved that our Government
was perpetual. A great principle was to be
restored which was established in our Revo
lution. When our fathers were contending
against the power of Great Britain, what
was one of the principal causes of their
complaint? It was that they were denied
representation. They complained of taxa•
tion without representation. [Cheers.]
The Constitution declares, in express
terms, that each House, the Senate and
House of Representatives, each acting for
itself, shall be the judges of the returns,elec
tion and qualifications of its own members.
It is for each House to settle that question
under the Constitution, and under the.sql
emti sanction of an oath, and can we be
lieve that either house would admit any
member into its body, to participate in the
legfilation of the country, who was not
qualified and fit to sit in that body and to
participate in its proceedings. They have
the power; not the two .Houses, but each
House for itself.
The Constitution further declares that no
State shall be deprived of its equal suffrage
in the'Senate of the United States without
its - consent. Then, where do we stand?
All that is needed to finish' this great work
of restoration is for the two Houses respect
ively to determine the question. "Oh,' but
some will say, "a traitor might come in,"
The answer to that is, that each Muse must
be the judge, and if a traitor presents him
self cannot, either Holase know that he is a
traitor [applause]; and if he is a traitor, can
they not kick him out of the door and send
him back, saying to the people who sent
him, ‘,`You must send us a loyal man."
[Cheers, and a voice, "That's logic."] •
Is there any' difficulty about that? If a
traitor presents himself to either House,
cannot that House say to him, "No, you
cannot be admitted into this body. Go back;
we will not deny your people of the right of
representation, but they must sent a loyal
representatives." And when the States
do send send loyal representatives,
can you have any better evi
dence of their fidelity to the Constitu
tion and laws? There is no one learned - in
the Constitution and the laws who will say
that, if a traitor happens to get into Con
-gresst the body cannot expel him after he
gets in. That makes assurance doubly
sure, and confirms the action of the Govern
ment to the Constitution of our fathers.
Hence I say, let us stand by that Constitu
tion, and in standing by it the Government
will be preserved.
While you have been contending against
traitors and treason and secession and the
dissolution' of the Union, I have been con
tending at the same time.against thecorisoli
'dation of power: here. (Cries of "Good!")
I think the consolidation of power here is
epially dangerous with the separation of
the States. The one would weaken us and
might run into anarchy, while the other
would concentrate and run into monarchy.
But, there is. an idea abroad that one• man,
can be a despot.: that, one Allan can !,e usur
per; latit.that a hundred or two hundred men ,
cannot mr. Nit:Niacin, the apostle of
liberty,,tells„us, and .so does common sense,
that tyranny ,and ~despotism .:can. be ewer
cisect by, many, more ,vigorously and more
tyt - aiiically than by one,
What power has your President to be a
tyrant? What can he do? - What can he,

The President is nothing more than the
Tribune of the people. His office is tribu
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPRIA THURSDAir,' 19,1866
nitial in its character. In olden , timai; when
tributtes,were first elected in_the i . Roman
Republic, they stood at the dOor of the Ro
man Senate, which was then encroaching
on the,popular rights and putting the heel
of power on the necks of the people. The
people chose a Tribune, and placed him at
the door of the Senate, so that' when that
body ventured on oppressive acts, he was
clothed with power-to say "Veto;--I forbid."
Your President is now the Tribune of the
people; and I thank God, I am and I intend
to assert the power which the people have
placed in me. [Cheers.] Your President,
standing here day after day, and discharging
his duties, is like a horse on the tread-mill,
and because he dare differ in opinion in re
gard to public measures he must be de
nounced as a usurper and a tyrant. Can
he originate anything under the veto power?
The veto power is conservative in its cha
,racter and affirmative. All that can be done
by the veto power is to say, when legislation
is improper, hasty, unwise,. unconstitu
tional,"Stay, stop action, wait till this can
.be submitted to the people, and let them
consider whether it-is right or wrong. [Ap
plause.] _
That is all there is in it, and hence I say
that tyranny and power. can be exercised
somewhere else thtm_by the Executive. He
is powerless, and - all he can do is to check
legielation, to hold it in a state of abeyance,
till the people can consider- and understand
what is being done,- Then what has- been
done? I have done ;what I believed- the
Constitution required me to do. I- have done
what 'believed duty and conscience required
me to do. So believing, I intend to stick to
my position, relying on the judgment, the
integrity and the intelligence of the _masses
of the American people, the soldiers and
sailors especially. Then, for my life, I can
not see where there is. any tyranny. It is
very easy to impugn motives and suspect
the purest and best acts of a man's life.
If you come forward and propose a certain
thing, your motives are suspected and con
demned; And if you withhold your opinion,
you are regarded as being opposed to the
matter, so that it is very hard to move one
way or the other. So far as certain persons
are concerned, on all questions pertaining to
the interests of the great masses of the Ame
rican people, for in them is my hope and the
salyation of the country, I am• with you,
citnens, soldiers and sailors, who have sac
rificed or periled more than the humble in
dividual who addresses you.
Has not my all been put upon it? -My
life, my property, everything sacred and
dear to man, have been staked upon it, and
can I now be suspected of faltering at the
close of this third ordeal of the nation?
.Where is he, in public or in private life, who
has sacrificed more, or who has devoted
more, of his time and energies to the accom
plishment of the great end than I? and I
have done it from the promptings of my
own heart and conscience.
I believe it was right; and with your help
and your countenance and your encourage
ment
I shall go through on that line; and
when I come to talk about sailors and
soldiers, about this to be done and that to be
done, all I want is for you to wait and see,
so far as the future is concerned. Wait, and
see if 1 do not stand byyou, although others
may falter and fail.
I want to see measures of policy brought
forward that will advance the interests of
the people, and of that portion of the people
who have constituted the gallant and brave
men who in both branches of the service
have upheld the national flag and sustained
the country in the recent struggle. I thank
you, gentlemen, for the encouragement; I
thank you for your countenance on this
oe,esdon. It cheers me, and gives 'me
strength to perform the work before me.
If we are true to ourselves, if we are true
to the Constitution. the day is not far dis
tant when this Government will be re
stored. Let us go on and restore the Gov
ernment; let us enlarge the area of our com
merce and trade; let us not only inspire
confidense at home, but respect abroad, by
letting the nation resume its career of pros
perity and greatness. I know that some
will find fault with me, and say I am too
lenient and kind and all that. If we are
all to be put to death or punished or thrown
away for one offence, or for the second
offence, and were to be lost and excluded
from society and_ communion with our
fellow men, how many of us would be lost?
I have felt when I have done wrong and
repented of it that I was as sincere and
honest as if I had never done wrong at all.
Then we must reason with each other, and
understand our nature, and what is neces
sary to restore peace and harmony to a dis
tracted and divided people. In time of war
it is right to burn villages, sack cities and
desolate fields to lay waste a country and
cripple and reduce the enemy; but in time
of peace, the reverse of that course is pre
cisely the right one and the true policy, if a
nation is to rebuild its cities, restore its
villages, renew its fields of agriculture, and
occupations of peace and prosperity are to
be restored. I know there are some who
have been at home calculating during the
war, and who bring to the consideration of
questions of peace harmony and the -occu
pations of civil life, sill the feelings of re
sentment which anintuded us when the ex
citement was up and running high, but
take the brave men who sustained the flag
in the field and on the wave, and you will
find better feelings, and better judgment on
theSe questions than you will find, with
those who have been setting in the closet
and never smelt gunpowder.
Yes, from the private up to the command
ing general, they knew better how to treat
the present circumstances than any of these
elevated patriots and humanitarians. Then,
my countrymen, fellow-citizens, soldiers
and sailors, let us' rejoice that peace has
come; let us rejoice that the relations of the
State are about being restored. Let us
make every effort we can on proper princi
ples to restore the relations which existed
between the Federal Government and the
State,
I thank God that peace is restored. I
thank God that our brave men can return
to their families and homes and resume
their peaceful avocations. I thank God that
the baleful planet of fire and blood, which
a short time ago was in the ascendant, has
been chased away by the benignant star of
peace. Now that the bow of peace is sus
pended in the heavens, let us cultivate the
arts and relations of peace, and all those
associations which appertain to men in
peace.
The time is not distant when we can have
a political millennium, a political jubilee,
and when we can proclaim to all the nations
of the earth that we are again a united peo
ple, and that we have triumphantly passed
through our third ordeal, having peace at
home and power to bid defiance to all the
world.
Remember one thing, gentlemen, that in
my past life, though slanderers may have
mikrepresented me, no one can say that
ever deceived or betrayed him. It will be
for you to see in the future who will redeem
all his promises and who will ibe most faith
ful, I thank you, gentlemen, for the com
pliment you have done me.
After the President closed his speech he
was .
