through which the Nation h.n en tiuiophantly pass-
ed. It is eminent) j approptiate that the fortunate
conclusion of a prea war, whose events have so
intensely occupied the public mind, and so deeply
stirred the public heart, that those who shared it
ceive a proper and generous recoj:nitiou or their
services from those for whose rights they so man
fully committed. A people unmindful of their de
fenders, will soon forget their own liberties, and a i
nation that ignores its soldiery, exposes itself to j
danger from wtthout and sedition Irom within. j

The power of the General Government over
this ami altot er snbjectf that can in any m inner
affect th reconstruction of the Southern Slates, is
clear and atiple. It is a power derived from War.
WithOiW ..I
Masent of th conquering party, the
South can hold no conventions, enact no binding
laws, estatritfh no courts q7 justice. With the tri
umph of our arms, the'autority of the State gov
ernments over their people failed. Their judicial,
legislative, and executive, functions were over
thrown, and the Piesidentof the United States,
by virtue of the right of dominion and sovereign
ty acquired by war, establishes, provisionally, their
civil institutions, appointing and removing the of
fice? s thereof at his discretion and pleasure. How
ever void and illegal the ordinances of secession
were, these States bad,, levertheless practically
withdrawn from all relations with the National
Government and levie war against it. They di
rected all their energies U maintain a de facto gov
ernment; and having been overcome by a superior
force, while carrying on war, they forfeited all
right heretofore po&cased, and cannot legally de
mand the benefit of the relations they denounced
and repudiated, however they may have tailed in
their eflVt at Independence. If this doctrine be
false and unfounded, then the acts of the Presi lent
are unwarranted usurnatiens, and the provisional
oftcers who received their authority from him, aie
entitled neither to obetaence nor respect. The
Southern States cannot be in the Union for one
purpose and out of it for another. They are either
sovcreisn states or conquered territories. If the
former, their right to regulate their own affairs can
uot be iuterlered with by the President in any
manner. If the latter, tbe authority of the occu-
pv;nfj force j9 paramount, and necessarily excludes
ftn other independent authority. The laws of the
conquered country like everything else counected
wilu iu government, are entirelr under the control
anj 8ubj?ct ta the will of the conqueror. .He

thej derive their vigor and efficiency from this act
alone, x , ' : ;
The war indeed Is over, but the Union not re
constructed; and a work requiring so much wisdom,
care and patriotism should not be hurried or
precipitated. The Southern mind i at re
bellious and belligerent as ever. The hatred of
the North as deep and intense as the d ay when
Sumter was assailed. Let us make haste slowly,
and exclude from our ship of täte whatever would
in any degree militate against its stability. or en
danger its perpetuity. A supervision now is po
sible hereafter it will bo moredifHcult. The war
bs taught us many lessons it would be unwise to
forget It has purified our judgments on some
subjects, and rebuked our prejudices on others, and
been characterized by a uni rorm progress in all the
elements of freedom. Men cau no long r be gag
ged for avowing their honest sentiments on the
subject of slavery. The press, and pulpit, and
school have equtlly contributed to the work of
progressive improvement. In Virginia, North and
South Caroliua, Tennessee and Alabama, in fact
in all the States, the press has been unmuzzled,
and met), without fear of persecution or ostracism,
can deliberatelv discuss the evils of the institution.
These rights of freedom acquiesced In honorably
and promptly by the South, and in good faith car
ried out, I am willing to see extended the largest
mercy to those who have suffered so much and so
severely in the war they so madly provoked. I
demand no broad and sw-eping conS-cition, which
(if practicable,) would augment the poverty of the
South, generate endless litigation, unsettle thou
sands of titles, and lead to buce land monopolies,
destructive of
ofthe country
the future prosperity of that section
rv.
I do insist unon freedom, becauae without it we
ein have no permanent peace, no enduring Uuion;
with it acknowlegetl. guarat teed and universally
ed po much blood and treasure, prevent this most
; desirable consuraation.

met on a thousand fields and fou?ht and bled and 1
suffered, and the battle-cry of her people is Old
Albion, still. 1 have thus spoken freely on this
question, because I love my country, and desire to
fee her free from oeean to ocean, inhabited by a
people obedient to law, loving justice, and willing
to contribute in every direct way to her moral and
material prosperity. Then let us unitedly work
for the gro-vth ofthe nttion.and dnect the ener
gies of both parlies to the advancement of every
interest which can enlarge and fortify the liberty
of the citizen. God has given us a great country,
pre-eminently rich in all the elements of wealth
and power; with unexampled commercial facilities,
with inexhaustible mineral and material resource,
inhabited by a people whose i idutry, wisely guid
ed and properly apptied, will rapidly disencumber
us of the heavy debt we assumed in effecting our
redemption. The Republic has been built by
architects of wise heads and the most faithful
hands, and cemented by the richest blood of sire
and son, and is capable of transmitting all the
substantial blessings of life, prosperity, liberty and
independence. For four years you have walked
through blood and smoke and battle, to enjoy the
peace that now engirdles the land. Every armed
foe has disappeared. Intercourse is quietly
resuming its sway. From ocean to ocean Irom
Northern lakes to Southern gulf, the whirl of the
spindle, the ply cf the oar, and tho motion of the
plough, are seen and heard. Great in the arts of
war, let us be greater in those of peace. Forget
ting that we were enemies, let us learn to bo
friends, and locking our shields together like joint
inheritors of a priceless legecy.Jlabor assiduously
and sincerely for the increase and improvement of
a common estate- The wild dream of secession,
with its frightful outcropping of blood and carnage,
must never be revived, but all the States, mutually
acknowledging their allegiance to the central
authority, must ever revolve around it like the
lesser stars around the parent orb, diffusing their
light and heat and warmth for the blessing of all,
whether they be great or bumble. This accom
plished, our missio wiil be in process of Bninter
rupted fulfilment, and the Wood so freely offered by
thoso wbo sleep their last sleep amid the far-off
savannas' of the South who gave their lives a
priceless sacrifice for their country, will ripen into
a harvest of blessings, to be diffused over all.
Then let the future be luminous with the light! of
freedom let diseord give place to harmony, and
enmity to love. '
