• Les(there bel some uneasiness in the
minds'of candid men asivliat is to.be the
course {_of the Government towards the
Southern States after the rebellion shall
:been suppressed, the Executive
deems it proper. to say it will be his pur
pose then, as ever," to be, guided by: the
Constitution and the laws, and that ho
prObably would have no difretent under!.
standing of the powers.and duties of the
Fedetall Gorentreent relative 'to - the
rights 'cif the . States - and the people, .under
the Cimititution, than expressed in — the
.Inaugural Address., lie desires fo pre
serve the Government, that it may be ad
miniskired to all as it was administered
by the!men who: made it. Loyal citizens
every where have the right to claim this
of their Government, and the Govern- -
inept .has no right to withhold or neglect
it. It lislaot perceived that in giving it
there is any coercion, any-conquest or
subjugation, in any just sense of the terms.
The [Constitution provides, .and all-the
States have accepted the. provision, that
the - ..thlited.States shall - guaranty to every
State this- Union a republican form - of
Governinent: But if a State 'May lai-ful
ly go out ,of the Union, having 'done so,
it may
,illso discard the republican form of
Govenaient; so that, to prevent its go
ing ouit is all-indispensable-to use every
means to the end of maintaining.the guar-•
antee. :When an end is lawful and obli-
gatoryl the indispensable means to obtain
it arealso lawful and. obligatory. • _
It wits with the dee'pest regret that the
Executive found the duty, of employing
the war power in defence of the Govern
ineUt forced upon, him. He coup but
perform this duty or surrender the exist
ence ellthe Government: No compromise
by public servants could- in this case be
made. I Not that compromises are not'of
ten proper, but that no popular gOvern
ment can ong survive •a mark/Id prece- •
dent, that those who carry an election can
only save the Gorernmeut . fromimme
diate destruction by giving np 'the main, •
point upon which the people gave the
elictiop. The people themselves, and not
their eervants; can safely reverse, their
l'own deliberate decisions:.. As a priiate
eitizeni the EXecutiye could not have con;
sentedithat these institutions shall perish;
much less could he, in betrayal of so Tad
and solsacred a trust as these free people
I lave cpnifded to him. •
Ifs felt that he had,no moral right to
shrink; nor even to - count the, chances of
his owzi life in what might follow. In
full viiir of his great responsibility, he has
so fax done what has-deemed his duty.
You will now, according- to your owo
