PRESIDENT JOHNSON.'
The public will thank Little, Brown S. Co., of
Boston. for issuing at this time a most carefully
compiled volume of the Lite and Speeches of
President - Johnson. The work is issued in the
very best style, and has a steel portrait of the
President that is singularly accurate. Some fifty
pages of the book are devoted to a well written
biography of Mr. Johnson, giving in brief a his
tory of his life from his humble birth in North
Carolina, in 1808. and detailing the various Nick , -
situdes of his eventful life until he became the
Chief Ruler of the great Republe of the world.
WithjMr. Johnson's personal history„most people
are familiar, as - his prominent position in public
affairs before - the war commenced, his relentless
war upon traitors from the time treason develop
ed its,perfidy in the Senkte until it was overthrown
in the field, his election as Vice President and his
subsequent succession to the Presidency, have
made his actions and his bi•fnrs a matter of wide
spread study.
We quote from the volume before us a number
of extracts from hisleadiug speeches which will,
be re-read with interest. They show his devotion
to the government and to the great industrial clas
ses in the clearest possible light
GIVE EVERY MAN AN LSTER.F.ST TILE COUNTRY
In his spePch on the Homestead Bill in the
Senate, in 1,:36; Mr. Johnson saki:-
" There is no man so reliable as be who is in
terested in the welfare of his country; and who
are more interested in the welfare of their coun
try than these who have homes 7 When a man
has a home he has a deeper, more abiding inter
est in the Country, and he is more reliable in all
things that pertain to the government. 'He is
morn reliablLL-When he goeS to the ballot-box, he
is mire reliablil in sustaining in every way the
stability of our free institutions. *
" I know there are many, and even some in the
Democratic ranks, whose nerves are a little timid
in regard to trt.sting the people with too much
power. Sir, the people are the - safest, the best,
and the most reliable lodgment , of power, if you
have a population of this kind. Keep up the
middle class; lop off an aristocracy on the one
hand, and a rabble on the other; let the middle
class maintain the ascendency. let them have the
power, and your government is always secure.
Then you need not fear the people. 1 know, as
I have just remarked, that some are timid in re.
gird to trusting the people ; but there can be no
danger from a people who are interested in their
government, who have homes to defend, and wives
and children to care for. Even if we test this
proposition by that idea of self interest which is
said to - govern and control man, I ask you if a
man who has an interest in this country is not
more reliable than one who has tumor
MEN stform fie ELEVATED AND THE PEOPLE
TRUSTED
" I hold to the doctrine that man 'eon be ad
vanced; that man can be elevated; that man can
be exalted in 'his character and condition. ' We
are told, on high authority, that he is made in the
image of his God ; that he is endowed with a
certain amount of divinity. And I believe man
eau be elevated; man can become more and more
endowed with divinity ; Kul as he doeshe becomes
more Godlike in his character and capable of
governing himself. Let us go on elevating our
people, perfecting our institutions; until democra
cy shall reach snch a point of perfection that we
can exclaim with truth that the voice of the pee.
ply is the voice of God.
'r Mr. Jefferson says in his first inaugural ad
dress, which is the greatest paper that has ever'
been w ritten to the government, and Icommend it
to the reading of those who say they are Demo- ,
erats, by way of refreshing their memorise, that
they may understand what are correct democrat
ic principles.
" Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trust
ed with the government of himself. Can he, then,
be trusted _with the - government of others 1 Or
have we found angels in the form Of kings-to
govern him? Let history answer this question.
"Mr. Jefferson seems to think man can be
trusted with . the government of himselL
" A few years since a Whig member of the
United States Senate sneeringly asked Senator
Allen, of Ohio, the question, 'What is democracy?'
The following was the reply : Democracy is a
sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or com
promised, It knows no baseness ;it cowers to no
dangers; it oppresses no weakness; destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty. labor and property. It is the sentiment of
freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations—the
law of 'nature pervading the law of the "
11E: IS NO COMPROMISER
"I am nut a compromiser nor a conservative
in the usual acceptation of, those terms. I have
been generally considered radical, and I do not
come forward to-day, in anything that I shall say
or propose, asking for anything to be doim upon
the principhrof compromise. If we ask for any
thing, it should be for that which is right and rea
sonable in itself. If it be• right, those of whoin
we ask it, upon the great principle of right; are
bound to grant it. Compromise! I know, in the
common acceptation of the term, it is to agree
upon certain propositions in which some things
arc conceded on the one side and others conceded
Ilu the other. 1 shall go for enactments by Con
gress or ilsr amendments to the Constitution, upon
the principle that they are right, and upon no
other ground, lam not for compromising right
a ith wrong. If Ise have no right we ought not
to demand it."

"After having been nurtured nud protected and
fostered by all these States, now, without regard
to them, is Florida to be allowed, at her own vo

has no constitutional right to do it and when she
does it, it is an act of aggression. If she suc

she does not succeed, She mast take the penalties
and terrors of the law. .

- snits in the way was a provision in her Constitu
tion, and' the manner of its adoption. We did not
let Kansas in. We did not question her being a
State; but on account of the manner of forming
her Constitution, and its provisions, we kept Kan
sas out. What is Kansas now 1 Is she a St - de.
or is she a Territory? - Does she revert back to
her territorial condition of pupilage? Or, having
been a State, and having applied for admix/ion
and been refused, is she standing out a State'?
You hold her as a territory; you hold her as a
province. You prescribe the mode of electing
the members of her Legislature, and pay them
oat of own Treasury. Yes, she is a province
controlled by Federal authority, and her laws are
made in conformity 'with the acts of Congress.
/a iiheMot a territeryl I think she is." :
TRAITORS SHOULD BE PUNISHED
In his reply to Senator Lana, March 2, 1E6I;
Mr. Johnson said :
"Show me the man who has been engaged in
these conspiracies; show me who has been sitting
in these nightly and secret conclaves, platting the
Overthrow of the Government; show me who hay
fired Upon our flaglids given instructions to take
our forts mid custom 'houses, our' arsenals and
,dock-cards. Iv. ill . show you a traitor. *
"Thar being done, were I the President of the
United , States, I would do as Thomas Jefferson
did in ISII6 *Mi .- Aaron - Burr; who was charged
with treason; I would have them arrested and
tried for treason, and, if convicted, by the eternal
God they should suffer the penalty of the law ut
the hands of the executioner. Sir, treason must
be punished. Its enormity and the extent and
depth of the offence must be made known. The
time is not far distant, if this Government is pre
served, its Constitution obeyed, and its laws exe
cuted in every department, when something of
this kind must be done."
THE PORTER OF CONGRESS TO EXPEL 3IE3LBERS.
—in his Senate speech urging the expulsion of
Senator Bright, he having written aletter to Jeff,
Davis, delivered July 27,1861, he said: '
"Mr. President, I-hold that under the Consti
tution of the United States we clearly have the
power to expel a member, and that too without
our assuming the character of ajudicial body,—
It is not necessary to have articles of impeach
ment preferred by the other House; it is not nec
essary to organize ourselves into a court for the
purpose of trial; but the principle is broad and
,clear, inherent in the very organization of the bo
dy itself, that we have the power and the right to
expel any member from the Senate whenever we
deem that the public interests are unsafe in his
hands, and that he is unfit to be a member of the
body. We all know, and the , country under
stands, that provision of the Constitution which
confers this power upon the Senate. Judge Sto
ry, in eommentitg upon the case of John Smith,
in connection with the provision of the Constitu
tion to which I have referred, used the following
language:
-" 'The power to expel a member is not in the
British House of Commons confined to offences
committed by the party as a member, or during
the session of Parliament; but it extends all
cases where the offence is such as, in the judg
ment of the House, unfits him fbr parliamentary
duties.'
"The rule in the House of Commons was no-,
doubtedly in the view of the framers of our Con
stitution ; and the question is has the member
unfitted himself, has he disqualified himself, in
view of the extra - ordinary condition of the coon
rY, from discharging the duties of Senator ,
* -* "Mr. President, suppose Aaron -Burr
had been a Senator, and after his nequittal he had
coma-back here to take his seat in the Senate,
what would have been done ? 'According to the
doctrine avowed in this debate, that we must sit
as a court and subject the individual to all the
rules and technicalities of the criminal proceed
ings, could he have been expelled? And yet - is
there a,Senator here who would have voted to al
low Aaron Burr to taken seat in the 'Senate af
t,er his acquittal by a court and iury ! No : there
is not a Senator hem who would have done it.—
Aaron Burr was tried in court and he was found
not guilty; he was turned loose ; but was the pub
lic judgment of this nation less satisfied of his
guilt, than it he had not been acquitted. What
is the nation's judginent, settled and fix - ed?7,-,
That Aaroh Burr was guilty of treason, notwith:
standing he was acquitted by a court and jury."
=
"The leaders of rebellion have decreed eternal
separation between you and them. Those lead
ers must be conquered, and a new set of men
brought forward who are to vitalize and develop
the UniorA feeling in the South. You must show
your, coufage here as Senators, and impart it to
those who are in the field. If you were noW to
compromise they would believe that they could
whip you one to five, and you could not bre iu
peace six mouths, or even three months. Settle
the ques now ; settlejt well : settle it finally;
crush rebellion and punish the traifors.—

°T get it.
HE THE PASSAGE OF TIM CONSITrr-
=
In June, 1864, Mr. Johnson was nominated for
Vice President by the Republican UnionoCon
rention at Baltimore, and wrote July 2d, his
letter accepting the nomination.. In this he
wrote
" It is vain to attempt to reconstruct the Union
with the distracting element of slavery in it. Ex
perience , has demonstrated' its incompatibility
with free and republican governments, and it
would be unwise and unjust longer to continue it
as one of the institutions of the country. While
it remained subordinate to the Constitution and
laws of the United States, I yielded to it my slip
port ; but when-It became rebellious, and attenip
tedito rise above the government, and control its
action, I threw my humble influence against it.
"The mode by which this great change--eman
cipation of the slave—can be effected, is proper
ly found in the power to amend the Constitution
of the United States. 'This plan is - effectual and
of no doubtful authority ; au'd while it does not
contravene the timely exercise of the war power
by the President in his Emancipation Proclama
tion, it comes stamped with the authOrity of the
people thetusehes, acting in accordance with the
writtO rule of the supreme law of the land, and
must)therefore give more g eneral saitsfaction and
quietude to the distracted public mind."
lIE APPROVES - THE REPUBLic.kN 1;1.:ITFoRM.
"By recurring to the:principles contained in
the resolutions so unanimously a3opted by the
Convention, I find that they substantially accord
with my public acts and opinions heretofore made
known and expressed, are therefore most cordi
ally endorsed and approved, and the nomination,
having been conferred without any solicitation
on my part, is with The greatest pleasure accept
ed."
MR. JOHNSON PROCLAIMS EMANCIPATION %N
EQUAL RIGHTS IN TENNESSEE.
Ou th''l4th of October, 164, Mr. Johnsou,
the Military Governor of Tennessee, addressed.
an immense audience of colored people at \ash•
vine. He said
" Colored Men of Nashrille.—You have all
heard of the President's Proclamation, by which
he announced to the world that the slaves in-a
large portion of the Seceded States were hence
fortlr and forever free. For certain reasons,
which seemed wise to the President, the benefits
of that prochunation did nut extend to you or to
your native State. Many of you, consequently,
were left in bondage. The taskmaster's scourge
was not yet broken, and the fetters still galled
your limbs. Gradually this iniquity has been
passing' away: but the hour has come when the
last vestige of it must be removed. Consequent
ly, I, too, without reference to the President or
any other person, have a proclamation to make ;
and, standing here upon the steps of the capitol
with the past history of the State to witness, the
present condition to guide, and its future to en
courage me, I Andrew Johnson, do hereby pro
elaimfreedom, full, broad, and unconditional, to
crery man in Tennessee!"
Mr. Lincoln evidently approved of this, for he
never reproved Mr. Johnson's speech.
EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL MEN
Speaking still to the colored men, he continued:
" I am no agrarian : I wish to see secured to
every man, rich or poor, the fruits of his honest
industry, effort or toil. I want each man to feel
that what he has gained by his own skill, or hd
ent, or exertion; is rightfully his, and his alone.
But if, through an iniqullotis system, a vast
amount of wealth has beell accumulated in the
hands of one man, or a few.men, then that result_
is wrong,•and , thesooner we cap right it the bet.

markets of- our city, enliven all the arteries of

ness and .glery of the State. •
" bookin g at the vast cromi.of cOlorettpeople,
and reflecting what a storm of iieralimtmo and
obloquy they are compelled to.ptufs, I am almost
induced to wish that,- as , in the day. of; o ld, a
Moses might arise wht, should lead them lifithre
their promised land of froann and hitipmm.
" You are our Moses," shouted several voices,
and the exclamation was caught up and cheered
until the capitol rag again.
"God," continued the speaker , " no doubt has
prepared somewhere an instrument for the great
work which he designs to perform in behalf of
this outraged people, and in due time your leader
will come forth; your Moses will be revealed tope.
"We want no Moses but yon again shouted
thg crowd.
"- Well,' then," roplied the speaker, " humble

Tit EASON MUST Be PrNISHED ASD MADE
On' the NI of April, 1565, Johnson, then
Vico President; was called mit to make a Speech
on occasion of the' rejoicing over the inipture-of
Petersburg and Richmond. Re said:
"We are now, my dear friends, winding up a
rebellion—a great effort that has been made by
bad men to overthrow the government of the
United States—a government founded upon.free
principles and cemented by the best blood - of the
Revolution. - " lam in favor of leniency;
but in my opinion. evildoers should be punished.
Treason is the highest crime known in the cata
logue of crimes, and for him that is guilty of it—.
for him that ie willing to lift his - impious hand
against the authority of the nation=.l would say
death is too easy a punishment. ,4fy notion, is
that treason must be made odious and traitors
must be punished and impoverished, their social
power broken, though they must be Made to feel
the penalty of their crime. You, ray friends, have
traitors in you very midst, and treason needs re
buke and punishment here as well as elsewhere.
It is not the men in the field who are the greatest
traitors. It is the men who have encouraged
them to imperil their lives,'While they themselves
have remained at home, expending their means
and exerting all their power to overthrow the
Government. Hence I say' this: 'The halter to
intelligent, influential traitors.' But to the hon
est boy, to the deluded man, who have been de
ceived into the rebel ranks, I would extend loci
eau; I would say, 'Return to your allegiance,
renew your support to the Government, and be
come a good citizen; but the leaders 'would hang. -
I hold, too, that the wealthy. traitors should be
made to remunerate those men who havens a
consequence of their crime—Union men who have
lost their property, who have .been driven from
their homes, beggars and wanderers among stran
gers. • It is well to talk about these things here
to-day, in addressing the well informed persons
who compose this audience. You can. to a very .
great extent, aid in moulding public opinion; and
in giving it a proper direetion. Let us commence
the work. We have put down these triton in
~
arms; let us put them down in law, in public juitg
meat, and in themorals of the world."
On the 18th of April, three days after he bad
become President by the death of Mr. Lincoln,
he said to an Illinois, delegation:
"Here, gentlemen, you perhaps expect me to
present sonic indication of my futurepolicg. One
thing I will say. Every era teaches its ;lesson.
The times we live in are not without instruction.
The American people must be tanght—if they do
not already feel—that treason is a crime and must
be punished; that the Government will notahvays
bear with its enemies; that it is strong, not only
to protect, but to punish. Let it be engraven on
every heart that treason is a crime, and traitors
shall suffer its penalty.
-Menthe question of exercising mercycinnee
before me it will be considered calmly and Judi
eiallyremembering that I am the Executive of
the nation. I know men love to have their names
spoken of in connection with acts of mercy ; and
how easy it is to yield to this impulse. But we
must not forget that what may be mercy to ;the
individual is cruelty to the State. In the exercl
sea of mercy there should be no doubt left chat
this high prerogative is not used to relieve' the
few at the expense of the many. Be matured
that I shall never forget that I am not to consult
my own feelings alone, but to give an account to
the whole people. Ainaesty to the many ; justice
to the leaders."
To a delegation of loyal Southen — i men, at a la
ter day, he 'mid:
aßut'while in mercy we remember justice, in
the language that has been uttered, I say, justice
toward the leaders, the conscious leaders{ but I
also say amnesty, conciliation, clemency and mer
cy to the thousands of our countrymen whom n you
and I know have been deceived or driven mto
this infernal rebellion. And 9 so I returned to
where I started from, and again repeated that it
is time our people were taught tolnow that trea
son is a crime, not a mere political difference not
a mere contest between two parties, in which one
succeeded and the other has simply failed. They
must know it is treason : for if they had succeed
ed, the life of the nation would have been reft
from it—the Union would have been destroyed.
Surely the Constitution sufficiently defines trea
son. It consist in levying waragainst the United
States, and in giving their enemies aid and senu 2 -
fort. With this definition it requires the exer
cise of nb great acumen to ascertain who are
traitors. • It requires no Feat perception .its tell
who have levied war against the United. States!:
nor does it require any great stretch of reasoning
to ascertain who has given aid to the enemies of
the United States; and when the government of
the United States does ascertain who are the
conscious and intelligent traitors, the penalty and
the forfeit should be paid."
Ins IDEAS OE-REORGANTL.ITION.
To an Indiana delegation he said:
"We have seen that the Government is com
posed of parts, each essential to the whole, and the
whole essential to each part. Now, if an indivi
dual (part of a State) declare war mudriat the
whole, in violation of the Constitution, he, as a
citizen, violated the law, arid is responsible for
the act as an .individual. There may be more
time one individual ; it may go on until they be
come parts of States. Sometimes the rebellion
may go on increasing in number till the 'State
machinery is overturned, and the country be
comes like a man that is paralyzed on orip,side.
But we find in the Constitution • a great 'panacea
provided. It provides that the United States,
(that is the great integer) shall guaranty, to each
state (the integers composing the whole) ,in this
triiimi a republican form of government. • Tee, if
rebellion 'has been rampantpand set Aside the _
Machinery of a State fora time, there steeds the
great law to remove the paralysis and revitalize
it and put it on its feet again. •' • " ' 4 Upon
this idea of destroying States, - my position has
bean heretofore well known, and I see no cause
to change it now, and I am
. glad to hear its reit
eration on the present occasion. Some are satis
fied with the idea that States are to be lost ha
territorial and other divisions ; are to lose their
character as States. But their life-breath has
only been suspended, and it is a high consti
tutional obligation we have to secure each
of these States in the possession and enjoy
ment. of a republican form of geveniment..—
.A Stato may be in the government 'with a
peculiar institution, and by the operation of
rebellion lose that feature ; but it was a State
when it went into rebellion and when it comes
out without the institution, it is still a State. I
hold it a solemn obligation in any one of these
States where the rebel armies have been beaten
back or expelled, I care not bow small the ship
of state, /Aoki it, I say a high duty to protect and
to secure 'to them a Republican form of "'Dern
matt. This is no new opinion. It is expressed
in conformity with my underatardiag ef - the ge
nius and theory of our government. Then in ad
justing and putting the government upon its legs
again, I thiuk the progress of this work: mast
pass into the hands of its friends., If a &tate is
to be nurtkd until it gets strength, it must bs miss
eel 6y its friends, not Smothered by its enemies.
