PROCLAMATION
By the President of the United
States!
THE SWORDIHEATHED.
F E APE— I, A W—LIBERTY.
By the President of the United Steles,
A PROCLAMATION:
\\7iercm, By proclamation on the fif
teenth and nineteenth of April, one ;
thousand eight hundred and sixty-one,
the President of the United States, in
virtue of the power vested in him by
the Constitution and the laws, declared
that the laws of the United States were
opposed, and the execution thereof oh-;
strutted, in the States of South Caroli
na, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, by com hi- j
nations too powerful to be suppressed
by the ordinary course'of judicial pro
ceeding-. or by the powers vested in
the marshals by law.
And whereas, By another proclama
tion made on the 16th day of Augu.-t,
in the same year, in pursuance of an
act of Congress approved July thir
teenth, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-one, the inhabitants of Georgia,
South Carolina, Virginia, North Caro
lina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Flor
ida, —except the inhabitants of that j
part of the State of Virginia lying west j
of Alleghany Mountains, and to such ■
other parts of that State ;utd the other
States before namm,as might maintain
a loyal adhesion to the Union and the j
Constitution, or might i.e from time to ;
time occupied and controlled by the,
forces of the United States engaged in j
the dispersion of insurgents, were de-;
clared to be in a state of in-urrection
against the United States.
Ann' urhereas, By another proelama- j
tion on the fir.-t day of July, one thou- i
-and eight hundred and -ixty-two, is- j
sued in pursuance of anactof Congress, j
approved Jtaic 7th, in the same year, j
the insurrection was declared to be still i
existing in the states aforesaid, with the I
exception of certain specified counties j
in the State of Virginia.
And whereas , By another proelama- i
mution, made on the second day of A-j
pril, one thousand eight hundred and
and sixty-three, in pur-uanceof theaet
of Congress of July thirteen, one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty-one, the |
exceptions named in the proclamation of j
August lt, one thousand i ight hundred i
and dxty-one, were revoked, and the i
inhabitants of the States of Georgia, |
South Carolina, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas, Mississippi, Florida, and Vir-1
ginia, except the forty-eight counties of |
Virgina designated as West Virginia, j
and the ports of New Orleans, Key
West, Port Royal and Beaufort, in
South Carolina, were declared to lie in
a state of insurrection against the Uni- 1
ted States ; and, whereas, the House of i
Representatives, on the ±>d day of Ju
ly. I*ol, adopted a resolution in the
words following, viz:
Rant!red, By the House of Represon- !
tatives of the Congress of the United ;
States, that the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country 1
by tlie Disunionists of the Southern ]
States, now in revolt against the (in
stitutional government, and in arms
around the capital; that in this nation
al emergency Congress, banishing all j
feeling* of mere passion or resentment,
will recollect only its duty to the whole
country; that this war i- not waged on I
our ptirt in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any purposeof conquest orsub- j
jugation, nor for the purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the rights
or established institutions of those
States, hut to maintain and defend the
supremacy of the Constitution, and to
prc-ervethe Union with all the dignity,
equality and rights of the several States
unimpaired ; and that as soon as these
objects are accomplished,the war ought
to cease.
And whereas, The Senate of the Uni
ted States,on the'Jothda.vof July, 1861,
adopted a resolution in the words fol
lowing, viz:
Resolved, That the present deplorable
civil war has heen forced upon the
country by the disunion ists of the South
ern States now in revolt against the
constitutional goveinnientandin arms
around the Capital; that in this na
tional emergency, Congress, banishing
all feelings of mere passion or resent
ment, will recollect only its duty to the
whole country; that thi> war is not
prosecuted on our part in any spirit of
oppression, nor f<r any purpose of con
quest or subjugation, nor for the purpose
of overthrowing or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of
those States, hut to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the Constitution
and aii laws made in pursuance there
of, and to preserve the Union with all
the dignity, equality and right of the
several States unimpaired; that as
soon as these objects are accomplished
the war ought to cease.
Andwhertas, These resolutions, though
not joint or concurrent in form, are
substantially identical, and as such
may be regarded as having expressed
the sense of Congress upon the subject
to which they relate.
And whereas, By my proclamation of
the 13th day of June last, the insurrec
tion in the State of Tennessee was de
clared to have been suppressed, the au
thority of the United States therein to
be undisputed, and such United States
BEDFORD. PA.. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 13. 1866.
officers as hud been duly commissioned
to be in the undisputed exercise of their
official functions.
And whereas, There now exists no
organized armed resistance of misguid
ed citizens or others to the authority of
the United States h the States oGGeor
gia, South Carolin, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alahaiua, Louis
iana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Flori
da, and the laws cat' be sustained and
enforced therein by the proper civil au
thority, State orfedtral, and the people
of the said States are well and loyally
disposed, and have onfornu <l, or will
conform, in their legslation, to the con
dition of affairs growing out of the a
mendment to the Constitution of the
Cnited States prohibiting slavery with
in the limits and jutpdiction of the I'-
ll ited States.
And whena*, In \}pw of the before
recited premises, it it the manifest tie
termination of the American people
that 110 State, of ts own will, has the
right or power togo out of, or separate
itself from, or be separated from, the
American Cnidi; and that, therefore,
each State ouglf to remain and consti
tute an integ/al part of the Cnited i
States.
And whereas, The people of the sev
eral before-iientioned States have, in
the manner aforesaid,given satisfactory
evidence tint they acquiesce in this sov
ereign and important restoration of the
national usity.
Ami whereas, It is believed to lie a .
fundaineirtal principle of government,
that people who have revolted and who
have hern overcome and subdued must
either be dealt with soa- to induce them
voluntarily to become friends, or else
they must be held by absolute military
power or devastated so as to prevent
them from ever again doing harm as
enemies, which last-named policy is
abhorrent to humanity and freedom.
And whereas, The Constitution of the
United States provides for constitution
al couiinunites only as States and not
as territories, dependencies, provinces,
or protectorates.
And whereas, Such constituent States
must necessarily be, and by the Consti
tution and laws of the United States
are made, equals and placed 011 a like
footing as to political rights, immuni
ties, dignity and power with the sever
al States with which they are united.
And whereas, The observance of po
litical equality as a principle of right
and justice is well calculated to encour
age the people of the aforesaid States
to become more and more constant and
persevering in their renewal alleg
iance ;
And whereas , Standing armies, mili
tary occupation, martial law, military
tribunals, and the suspension of the
privilege of the writ of habeas corpus,
are, in time of peace, dangerous to pub
lic liberty, incompatible with the indi
vidual rights of the citizens, contrary
to the genius and spirit of our free in
stitutions, and exhaustive of the na
tional resources, and ought not, there
fore, to be sanctioned or allowed, ex
cept in cases of actual necessity for re
pelling invasion, or suppressing insur
rection or rebellion;
And whereas, The policy of the gov
ernment of the United States, from the
beginning of the insurrection to its 0-
verthrow and final suppression, has
been in conformity with the principles
herein set forth and enumerated:
Therefore. 1, Andrew Johnson, Pres
ident of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the insurrec
tion which heretofore existed in the
States of Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis
sippi, and Florida is at an end, and
henceforth tola- so regarded.
In testimony whereof 1 have hereun
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to he affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, the
second day of April, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, and of the independence of
the United States of America the nine
tieth.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
By the President:
WILLIAM H. SF.WARD, Secretary of
State.
Question* For iPn. iionry*
There are two questions which the
people desire General Geary to answer i
without delay, and which we shall con
tinue to ask until we get explicit re
plies to them.
1. Is he, or is he not, in favor of ne
gro suffrage ?
1. Does he, or does lie not, support j
tin 1 restoration policy of Andrew John
son ?
Let there be no quibblingor dodging.
Give us plain and unmistakable an
swers. If the General imagines that
he can get through the six-months
campaign before us without meeting
fairly and squarely these two impor
tant questions, he will find himself as
sadly mistaken as when he retreated
before fifteen of Moseby's men, under
the impression that they were the body
of Stonewall Jackson's army.— Age.
Soulier*', to the Rescue.
Unless something is done for General
Geary soon, his case is desperate. As
to his military achievements, his fel
low-soldiers are singularly reserved.
The only military men in Pennsylva
nia who have said a word in his behalf,
are Major General Collis, Brigadier
General Joshua T. Owens, and Colonel
John W. Forney. Can we not hear
something from General Knipe, or
General Tyndale, or General Isaac Wis
tar, who are soldiers.— Age.

When 1 had finished it the President
1 said:—

• of the Constitution in that one lor, than
in all the neks of Congress, since I was
a baby. What shall Ido with it?"
Ses I what does the Constitution say
we must do with it ?
| "Veto it," ses the President.
Then we veto, it, ses I; and when we
veto it less leeve the matters imbraeed
in it cleer and distinck for all futur time.
: Put it beyond dispute. Did you ever
I know Glink Winkfeel, ses I, .Mr. Presi
dent?
"No," sed the President, "I never had
the pleasure of his aequaentance. What
of him ?"
Ses I, Glink Winkfeel was the son of
old Boohoo Winkfeel, a relashun of Gen
eral Winkfeel Scot. Now, Glink was
cross ide and ner sited and vused to
war an old par of black iron specticklcs
with round glasses nearly a- big as a
saucer. Glink's har was white, all his
, life, and when I knowed him particu
lar, he was a great hand to play mur
vils. and we could always tell when he
was goin to take out the middle man
; from tor. Glink would roach up his
' back and <ffaw a beed 011 the middle
man and turn his head sorter sideways,
like a dog lookin at a piece of bred in
your hand, and then blaze away, and I
never knew Glink to miss the'middle
man if he had time to roach his back
and draw his beed. Now, Mr. Presi
dent, 1 want you to roach your back
: when you come to veto this lor. Take
the middle man out from tor. and set-
I tie Buro.
Ses the President, "I know all about
takenthe middle man from tor, and
I'll show boys how they passthar red
quilt patch work lors and expect me to
sine them. Majer, I'll rite the veto
and while I'm doing that you must rite
out that general proclamashon we have
been torkin about, and when we get
through we will reed over and correct
them."
Very well, ses I, Mr. President be
pinteO in that veto; leev vaig genner
alities to Mr. Seward and Bonypart,,
but we must rite so that every buddy
can understand us—it saives a-ite of
trubble.
Thereupon the President took his
slait and pencil and rit off the first draff
of his Veto Message, while 1 rit tliej
general proelamashun. When we fin
ished, the President read first, and we
altered and amended it to suit our just
vues, which that is the same message 1
sent to the Sennit on the lbth instant,
and which has been published, and I
needn't send you a copy of it. After;
the Message was finished, I read the
proelamashun, as toilers:
"In the name of-—Amen. 1 Andy

"Know you that since Generals Sher

erything else they wanted, a- -pile- be

VOL. 61.—WHOLE No. 5,343.
The old flag waives pver every inch
' of our territory, and we posses all the
fortes, docks and navy yards ever whar,
and the hole Union is restored. The
lost pleiads whichcreke loose from thar
nutteral center ofdravitashon, has come
, back into thar pr<f>er plaifces in our sys
tem, and i- all movjn on to
gether every what, but in Congress.-
' The time is come fqr our armies to be
! mustered out, and gt> home. The swode
should be beet into the plowsher, and
the bagganit into the prunin book.—
' (See holy rit at this pint.) The cannons
and guns, and shootin irons should all
' be gathered together to rest In peece,
i and easin waggins, should he put to
haulin saw-logs to rebild the waste pla
ces of our country.
Peece havin returned thar is no furth
er necessity for marshall lor enny whar
en these States, and tharfore I do call in
ail the provo marshal! s arfd command
ants of distrieks, and restore to the peo
ple the maji-trates of thar own choice,
and the lors of thar own approval. And
further, I do now restore the rit of hab
beas Corpus every whar. So that every
man of every shaid of culler may have
his own buddy andnoboddyshant take
it away from him by marshall lor, with
out his own consent, and without tellin
him wliarefore he takes it,andgiven him
a chaneetoget it back aginwithout delay.
To the armies of the Unity Staits,
which has borne the heet and burden
of four years of hard fightin and long
marchin, 1 return thanks en the naim
of the restore*! Union, espeshally to the
glorious officers and solgers who ad
vanced our flag without steel in nothin
they found lyin loose or buried in the
garden,and without in-ultinunprotect
ed wimmen and children. Go to your
homes, and all you who has got urn un
pack your nap-ax and call around your
wives and children, and show them
your spoons, and watches, and spectick
les, and other valuable trofis. Hang
not your beds if the little ones should
ask you whotyou paid for these things,
and you have to tell them you stoled
all from non combatants. Remember
the great Dickinson with a hed as long
as a horse and a- hideous as Satan \ and
the Rev. Doctor Bracken ridge of Ken
tucky, think that there is no harm in
-teelin from rehbel-, because rehbels
have no rites in nothin.
To the people of the North or North
west: The great manufacturin stock
raisin wheat growin country, 1 do pro
claim that peece has arriv. Livonyour
fortunes made durin the wor from Gov
ment contraeks, for I am afeerd that
the Aberlishon of slavery will lose you
your best customers for the futur forev
er. The former masters yused to feed
and clothe the four millions of depen
dents made free by the wor,and it took
a site of shoes, and clothes, and hogs,
and bred to do it; but now all bein free
alike them that aint got no shoes and
clothes can go barefooted. Stir your
stumps to find other markets, or all of j
you move to the forks of the road and
set up stores and taverns.
To the freedmen all through the
land, in the Buro and out of it: I pro
claim peeee and freedom now and for
ever. Arise and commence the battle
of life on your own hook; work out
your destiny ; be savin and honest;
lay up for the rainy days. Remember
now old Mar- aint guine to sell hisbae
ker and wheet to buy you clothes, and
shoes, and blankets and hats. You got
to buy um yourselves, or go bethout.
When you git sick old Mars aint guine
to send the doctor to cure you. You
will have to do that yourself. When
When you git old and can't work no
more remember old Mars aint guine to
give you your cal >in and have fires made
for you; you will have to prepar for
that yourself. And when Christmas
conies, and you feel happy, you cant go
up to the big house with your bucket,
and jug, and bag, to git your Christmas
gift of Hour, and molasses, and shug
gcr and coffey; old Marsainf got notli
in to do with you now. They done
took you way from old Mars. Then
you will have to work for your com
forts, your medicines and your coffins.
To the three thousand preivhers up
North, and the strong-minded wimnien
up thar: 1 proclaim that peeee ba
con ic. Ye preechers that forgot God
and went to worshippin the golden
calf in the lobby of Congriss, has fell
from grei-c, and shall meet your re
word in this world or in the next, turn
from the error of your ways and seek
the true God, or like Judns you will
all go to your own plases at the old
scratch. To the strong-minded vvim
min up thar, kantaukerus old maids,
mad because they aint got no husbands
and children agitators, I proclaim de
liverance and good nuse. Sambo bein
free now and hj'f to whet his own com
panion, every old maid can git a nig
ger husbon, or as she has lost time here
tofore she may take two or three, and
raise up children by scores to save Mas
sachusetts from the shaim and disgrace
of not bein able to fill out her next quo
ta should thar beanother wor, and sen
din down South to open recrootin offi
ces thar.
To the people of the Confederate j
Staits, so called: In vewof the success ■
of my polisy of reconstruction, I pro- J
claim to you peeceand pardon. I know
you had great cause to become restive ;
in the Union. Your rites laid down in
the Constitution, and to preserve which
the Union was formed, was denideyou,
but still you orter hell on and contended
for your rites thar. You done roup to
try to git out and quit us. In too hot
haiste you tride to brake the bons of
Union. \Yor resulted, and sech a wor
as history fails to give us a parallell re
sulted. Your people every whar went
into it, and your arm is fort with ge
gantic heroism without fear and with
out reproach.
Your gennerals andsodgers rendered
the Amerekan naime forever glorious.
Yet you were overpowered, and sub
mit in good faith to the constituted au
thorities of our country. We take you
to'our bussoin as the hed of the nashon,
and say from the bottom of our hart,
we forgive you. Do you now forgive
us, and less ail now henceforward live
together in peece and quiet as a great
nashon. Thar is no further cause for
jars. Slavery, which Lincum sed some
how caused thewor, havin disappeared,
less berry thehatchit. Smoke thepipe
of peece, and everybody everywl.ar
will know that the Unity Staits combi
ned can whip all creation and the bal
ance of the world combined.
To the Congrissof the Unity Staits
engaged at the present ritin en passin
of lors for the passification of the peo
ple, I wish to give a leetle advise. Let
the Constitushon which our inspi
red fathers made and left us, as the pal
ladium of our liberties alone. Stop
your patehin and tinkerin with that
sacrid instrument. You aint passifide
yourself. Remember you was elected
in the storm and whirlwind of pashson
caused by the wor ond Lee's whippin
us agin, as representin the extreme
vews of the Radicals, but now the
-torin is over and you aint qualifide to
represent peeceful communities.
The Constitution is the bond of the
Union between equal Staits; it hasi s
sacred checks and ballances. It could
not have exested without them. De
stroy it not, break it not, or the Union
will be broken. Brake the string and
the heeds will seattter all over the floor.
It required coneesshon to make the
Constitushon, and was baptised in blood
and tears, touch it not with unwoshed
hands. The rebellion was intended to
brake the Union by secession, and it
failed, though it had some show of rite
on its side. Now you are tryin to brake
the Union by destroying the equality
of tiieStait-. You are traitors at hart.
Remember I have taken an oath to
protect and defend the Constitushon,
take care what you are adoing of or be
fore you know it you will find yourself
in fort Lafajet. But if really you de
sire to do your countrymen a great ser
vice, you will all resine and go home
and let other men come to the work of
restorin public confidence. The wor
havin been ended, it -is fit and proper
for the buzzards and vultures feastin on
carrion to go away and giveplais to
the dove of peece. Go home, Sumntr
and Wilson and Tliad Stevens and
Longyear, and let patriots and gentle
men have your seets, to pasaify and
sooth to rest the subsidin surges of the
angry tempest so long disturbin our
otherwise happy land. Go to your
holes in the mountains, ye beasts of
pray, and carry along with you Botts
and Deckinson and Doctor Bracken
ridge, and then die and go to the old
Scratch where you belong and be dog
ged to you. BY THE PRESIDENT.
JACK DOWNING,
.Ex-Majer Downingville Millisha,
Cabinet.
When I finished readin the procla
mashon the president jumped up and
cracked his heels together, aud said :
"Puttyree good Majer; that's the
dociment for me; lay it away for a few
days, and if things go on to suit us it
shall come out. 1 amroachin my back
like Glink. Lincum vused totorka
bout puttin down Ids foot, but 1 shall
roach my back, and from appearances
in Congriss I shall have to do it very
often before long."
So Millot, I laid away the proclama
shon for a few days, and in the mean
time I tliot I'd send you a coppy and
ask you to get Jeemes Bueeannou and
Frank Pierce to get together with you
and reed it over, and if you think it ail
right you must say so; if not, rite us
a note to'the keer of the president.
I thot of puttin a hoep more in it,
but as it litis got to occupy a conspicu
ous plais in our literature, J concluded
to make it short and to the pint.
What would you think of a speshel
v aledictory to Ben Butler and Miiroy ?
Don't they deserve it?
The reason 1 didn't put it in, I was
afeerd they want guine home. I would
be glad to forget them fellers, and never
hear of them no more in this life.
I suppose you havered all my letters
to Jeemes, and find things is goin on
just as 1 said. In cose they is; don't I
know? You may expect every day or
two to see a new veto. The President's
back is roached. Remember Cflink
Winkfeel. Your friend,
JACK DOWNING,
Ex-Majer
Downingville Millisha.
P. 8. While I and thepresident was
ritin our paper a great crowd of Radi
cals was running all around the While
House, tryin to get in, but the door
was shot, and the door-keeper stood
thar with a boot-jack ready to knock
down the first man that run in by him,
and they didn't, for he showed them
his weepin. Sumner stood off afar,
and every time he looked todes the
house, he put hishand behind him like
| lie was guine to take out his handker
chif, but didn't and I was afeered some
whar hurt him. The president is tor
kin about makin me a feel marshall to
git a core of men to proteck him from
the Radicals, not that they want to
| hurt him, but they are so hungry for
I offisjust now.
Yourn, JACK DOWNING,
To Millot, &c. Ex-Majer, &c.
