To (he Pcojylo of the United fitnten!
The robe of olfieo, by constitutional limitation,
this day falls from my Hhoulderw, to be immedi
ately uHHiimed by niy suecoHHor. Bor him the
forbearance and co-operation of the American
people, in all bin efforts to admininter the ciov-
urnment within the pale of the Federal OonHtU
tution, are Hincurcly invoked. Without ambi
tion to grutlf'y, party eudw to aubscivn, or per-
Honal quarrelB to avenge at the aacriflee of the
peace an<l Welfare of the country, my eurneBt
desire iH to Bee the OonHtittltioii, oh defined and
limited by the fathers of the llcpublic, again re
cognized ami obeyed as tin; supreme law of the
land, and the whole people North, Month, East,
and West,- -prosperous and happy under its
wise pfoviKloiiB.
lit surrendering,the high office to which 1 was
called foilr years ago, at a memorable and terri
ble crisis, it Is my privilege, J trust, to say to
the people of the United Htates a lew parting
words, iu vindication of tin official course so
ceaselessly ussuiled and aspersed by political course; that conscription, confiscation, loss of
leaders, to whoso plans and wishes my policy to personal liberty, the subjection of States to mil-
restore the Union has bocu obnoxious. In a | fairy rule, and disfranchisement, with the ex
period of difficulty and turmoil almost without j tension of the right of suffrage merely to aecom-
preeedent in the history ol any people, couse- plisli party ends, would receive the passive sub-
quent upon the closing scenes of a great rebel- ] mission, if not acquiescence, of the people of
lion and the assassination of the then President, the Republic?

far attained. Doubtless had I at tin.* commence
ment of my term of office unhesitatingly lent
its powers or perverted them to purposes and
plans “ outside of the Constitution, und become
an instrument to schemes of confiscation and of
general und oppressive disqualifications, I would
have been hailed - as till that was true, loyal ami
discerning; as tho reliable head of a party,
whatever I might have been as the Executive of
the nation. Unwilling, howevor, to accede to
propositions of extremists, and bound to adhere,
at every personal hazard, to my oath to defend
tho Constitution, I need not, perhaps, he sur
prised at having met tho late of others whose
only rewards for upholding constitutional right
and law have been the consciousness of having
attempted to do their duty, and tho culm and
unprejudiced judgment of history.

lftjority of
of the United States. An appeal to the nation,
however, is attended with too much delay to
meet an emergency. While, if left tree to act,
the people would correct, in time, such evils as
might follow legislative usurpation, there is dan
ger tliut the same power which disregards the
Constitution will deprive them of the right to
change their rulers, except by revolution. We
have already seen the jurisdiction of the judicia
ry circumscribed when it was apprehended that
the courts would decide against laws having for
their sole object tho supremacy of party, while
the veto power, lodged m the Executive by the
Constitution for tho interest and protection of
the people, and exercised by Washington and
his successors, 1ms been rendered nugatory by a
partisan majority of two-thirds in each branch
of the National’Legislature. The Constitution
evidently contemplates that when a bill is re
turned with the President’s objections it will

Much as I venerate the Constitution, it must

developed a defect which, under the aggressive
tendency of the legislative department of the
Government, may readily work its overthrow.
It may, however, ho remedied, without disturb
ing the harmony of the instrument.
The veto power is generally exercised upon
constitutional grounds, and whenever it is so
applied, and tho bill returned with tho Execu
tive’s reasons for withholding his signature, it
ought to be immediately certified to tho Supreme
Court of the United States for its decision. If
its constitutionality shall be declared by that
tribunal, it should then become a law; but if the
decision is otherwise, it should fail, without
power in Congress to reenact and make it valid.
In cases in which the veto rests upon lmsty
and inconsiderate legislation, aud in which no
constitutional question is involved, I would not
change the fundamental law; for in such cases
no permanent evil can be incorporated into tho
Federal system.

! The close of our domestic conflict found the
! army eager to distinguish itself iu a now field,
i by au effort to puuish European intervention in

I that, asido from the assumed justice of tho pro

way of awakening national enthusiasm, reviving

I Whether these speculations were true or false, it

1 predilections of the army were, lor the time be-

j tendered to the Executive by the measures relat

Contrary to most precedents in the experience

and to make secure my continuance in the
highest office known to our laws.
Let the people whom I am addressing from the
Presidential chair, during the closing hours of a
laborious term cousidor how different would
have been their present condition had I yielded
to the dazzling temptation of foreign conquest,
of personal aggrandizement, and the desire to
wield additional power. Let them with justice
consider that, if I have not unduly “magnified
mine office, ” the public burdens have not been
increased by my acts, and other and perhaps
thousands or tens of thousands of lives sacrificed
to visions of false glory.
It cannot, therefore, bo charged that ray am
bition lias been of that ordinary or criminal
kind which, to the detriment of the people’s
rights and liberties, ever seeks to grasp more
and unwarranted powers, and, to accomplish its
purposes, panders too often to popular preju
dices and party aims.
What, then, have been the aspirations which
guided me in my official acts ? Those acts need
not, at this time, an elaborate explanation.—
They have been elsewhere comprehensively stated
and fully discussed, and become a part of the
nation’s history. By them I am willing to bo
judged, knowing that, however imperfect, they
at least show to the impartial mind that my solo
ambition lias been to restore the Union of the
States, faithfully to execute the office of Presi
dent, and, to the best of my ability, to preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution. I cannot pend
lie censured if my efforts have been impeded in have
the interests of party faction; and if a policy
which was intended to reassure and conciliate
the people ofjmth sections of the country was
made the occasion of inflaming aud dividing
still farther those who, only repoutiy in arus
against each other, yet, as individuals and citi
zens, were sincerely desirous, as I shall ever
believe, of burying all hostile feelings in
tho grave of tho past. The bitter war was
waged on the part of the Government to vindi
cate the Constitution and save tho Union; and if
I have erred in trying to bring about a more
speedy and lasting peace, to extinguish heart
burnings and enmities, and to prevent troubles
in the South which, regarding material prosper
ity in that region, injuriously affected the whole
country, I am quite content to rest my cose with
the more deliberate judgment of the people,
aud, as I have already intimated, with the dis
tant future.
The war, all must remember, was a stupendous
and deplorable mistake. Neither side under
stood the other; and had tjiis simple fact and its
conclusions been kept in view, all that was
needed was accomplished by the acknowledg
ment of tho terrible wrong, and the expressed
bettor feeling and earnest endeavor at atonement
shown and felt in the prompt ratification of con
stitutional amendments by tho Southern States
at the closo of the war. . Not accepting the war
as a confessed false step on tho part of t hose who
inaugurated it, was an error which, now only
time can cure, and which even at this late date
we should endeavor to palliate. Experiencing,
moreover, as all have done, the frightful cost of
the arbitrament of tho sword, let us, in the fu
ture, cling elosor than ever to the Constitution
as our only safeguard. It is to. be hoped that
not until the burdens now pressing upon us with
such fearful weight are removed will our people
forget the lessons of tho war; and that, remem
bering them from whatever cause, peace be
tween sections and States may bo perpetual.
• The history of late events m our country,, as
well as of tbo groatost Governments of ancient
and modern times, teaches that we h ive every
thing to fem* from a departure from tho letter
and spirit of the Constitution, and the undue
ascendency of men allowed to assume power in
what are considered desperate emergdneieis. —
Hyllfl, ou becoming master of Rome, at once
adopted measures to crush his enotnies, and to
consolidate tho power of his party. He estab
lished military colonies throughout Italy; de
prived of the 'full Roman franchise tho inhabi
tants of the Italian towns who had opposed his
usurpations; confiscated their lands, and gave
them to his soldiers; and conferred citizenship
upon a great number of slaves belonging to
those who had proscribed him, thus creating at
Rome a kind of body-guard for his protection.
•er to slaughter,
laths of obedience to tho Constitution, and
dermined the very foundations of liberty, jus
tice, and good government. When the rebellion
was being suppressed by the volunteered servi
ces of patriot soldiers amid the dangers of the
battlefield, those men crept, without question,
iuto place and power in the national councils.
After all dangers had passed, when no armed foe
remained, when a punished and repentant people
bowed their heads to the flag and renewed their
allegiance to the Government of the United
States, then it was that pretended patriots ap
peared before the nation and began to prate
about the thousands of lives and millions of
treasure sacrificed in the suppression of the re
bellion. They have since persistently sought to
inflame the prejudices engendered between the
sections, to retard the restoration of peace nnd
harmony, nnd by every means to keep open and
exposed-to the poisonous breath of party pas
sion the terrible wounds of a four-years’ war.—
They have prevented the return of peace and
the restoration of the Union, in every way ren
dered delusive tho purposes, promises, and
pledges by which the army was marshalled,
treason rebuked, and rebellion crushed, and
made the liberties of tbo people and the rights
and powers of the President objects of constant
attack. They have wrested from? the President
his constitutional power of supreme command
of the army and navy. They have destroyed
the strength and efficiency of the Executive De
partment by making subordinate * officers inde
pendent of and uble to defy their chief. They
attempted to place the President under the
power of a bold, defiant, and treacherous Cabi
net officer. They have robbed the Executive of
the prerogative of pardon, rendered null and
void acts of clemency granted to thousands of
persons under the* provisions of the Constitu
tion, and committed gross usurpation by legis
lative attempts to exercise this power in favor of
f adherents. They have conspired to change
party i Vi
tho system of our Government by preferring
charges against the President in tho form of ar
ticles of impeachment, and contemplating, be
fore hearing or trial, that he should bo placed
in arrest, held in dumuctv-ftud, when it became
their pleasure to pronounce his sentence, driv
en from place aud power in disgrace. They
have in time of peace increased the national
debt by a reckless expenditure of the public
moneys, aud thus added to tho burdens which
already weigty upon tho people. They have
permitted tlie nation to suffer the evils of a de
ranged currency, to the enhancement in price of
all tho uecersuries of life. They have main
tained a large standing army for the enforcement
of their measures of oppression. They have
engaged in class legislation, aud built up aud
encouraged monopolies, that the few might be
enriched at the expense of the many. They
have failed to act upon important treaties, there
by endangering our present peaceful relations
with foriegn powers.
Their course of usurpation lias not been lim
ited to inroads upon the. Executive Department.
By unconstitutional aud oppressive enactments,
the people of ten States of the Union have been
reduced to a condition more intolerable than
that from which the patriots of the revolution
rebelled. Millions of American citizens cun now
say of their oppressors, with more truth than
our fathers did of British tyrants, that they have
“ forbidden the Governors to pass laws of im
mediate and pressing importance, unless sus
pended until their assent should be obtained;”
that they have “ refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation of large districts of people,
unless those people would relinquish the right
of representation in tho Legislature—a right in
estimable to them, and formidable to tyrants on
ly;” that they have “made judges ciejjentlent
upon their will alone for tho tenure of their of
fices, and the amount and payment on their sal
aries;” that they have “ erected a multitude of
new offices, and sent hither swanus of officers
to harruss our people and eat out their sub
stancethat they have affected to render tho
military independent of aud superior to the civil
power/’ “combined with others to subject us
to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and
unacknowledged by our laws," “ quartered
large bodies of armod troops among us, “ pro
tected them by a mock trial from punishment
for any murders which they should commit on
After having given Rome over to slaughter, tho inhabitants of these States,” imposed “tax-
and tymnized beyond all example over those es upon us without our consent, 4- ‘ deprived u~
opposed to him aud the legions, his terrible in- • an many cases of the benefit of trial uy jury,
“taken away our charters, excited domestic In-
Rurreoiion amongst us, abolishing our most val
uable laws, filtered fundamentally tho forms of
our Government, suspended our own Uegisla-
turcs, uud declared themselves Invested with
power to legislate for us in all cases whatso
ever.'' •
This catalogue of crimes, long as it is, is not
yet complete. The Constitution vests the jin
dicial power of the United States “in one Su
premo Court," whose jurisdiction “shall extend
to all eases arising under this constitution” and
“ tile laws of the United Htates.” Encouraged
by this promise of a refuge from tyranny, a citizen
or the united States who, by the order of a mili
tary commander, given under the sanction of u
cruel and deliberate edict of Congress, has been
denied the constitutional rights of liberty of
conscience, freedom of the press, nnd of speech,
personal freedom from military arrest, of being
held to answer fur crime only upon presentment
and indictment, of trial by jury, of the writ of hn•
bean corpxiHi and the protection of civil and con
stitutional government—a citizen thus deeply
wronged, appeals to the Supreme Court for the
protection guaranteed to him by tho organic
laws of the laud. At once a fierce and excited
majority, by tho ruthless hand of legislative
power, stripped the ermine from the judges,
transferred tho sword of justice to the General .
and remanded the oppressed citizen to bondage
worse^lmn death.
It will also be recorded as one of the marvels
of the times, that a party claiming for itself a
monopoly of couisfcnoy and patriotism, aud
boasting too of its unlimited sway, endeavored,
by a costly and deliberate trial, to impeach one
who defended the Constitution and the Union
not only throughout the war of the rebellion,
but during his whole term of office us Chief Mag
istrate; but at the same time could find no war
rant or means at their command to bring to
trial even the chief of the rebellion. Indeed
the remarkable failures in bis case were so often
repeated that for propriety’s sake, if for no other
reason, it became nt last necessary to extend
to him an unconditional pardon. What more
plainly than this illustrates the extremity of par
ty management and inconsistency on the ono
hand, and of faction, vindictiveness, nnd intoler
ance on the other ? Patriotism will hardly be
encouraged when, iu such a record, it sees* that
its instant reward may be the most virulent par
ty abuse und obloquy, if not attempted disgrace.
Instead of endeavoring to “ make treason
odious,” it would in truth seem to have been
their purpose rather to make the defence of the
Constitution and the Union a crime, and to pun
ish fidelity to nn oath of office, if counter to party
dictation, by ull the means at their command.
Happily for the peace of the country, the war
has determined against the assumed power of
the States to withdraw at pleasure from the
Union. The institution of slavery also found its
destruction in a rebellion commenced in its inter
est. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the war neither impaired nor destroyed the Con
stitution, but, on tho contrary, preserved itn ex
istence, and made apparent its real power and
enduring strength. All the rights grunted to
the States, or reserved to the people thereof,
remain therefore intact. Among those rights is
tlmt nt the people of each State to declare the
qualifications of their own State electors. It is
now assumed that Congress can control this vi
tal right, which can never be taken away from
tho States without impairing the fundamental
principles of the Government itself. It is nec
essary to the existence of the States, ns well n§
the protection of the liberties of the people; for
the right to select the elector in whom tlie po
litical power of a State shall bo lodged involves
the right of the State to govern itself. When de
prived of this prerogative, the States will have
no power worth retaining; all will be gone, aud
they will be subjected to the arbitrary will of
Congress. The Government will then be cen
tralized. if not by the passage of laws, then by
the adoption, through partisan influence, of an
amendment directly in conflict with the original
design of the Constitution. This proves how
necessary it is that the people should require
administration of tlie three great departments
of the Government strictly within the limitations
of the Grnsfitn'tion. Their boundaries have been
accurately defined, and neither should be allow
ed to trespass upon the otlnir, nor, above all to
encroach upon the reserved rights of the people
and the Ktates. Th - * troubles of the past four
years will prove to the nation blessings if they
produce so desirable a result.

Dratli of H. M. Orme, fir*
of his old personal friends througoht tho Si
—for he had many—in the lastifow years, grie
him much, for lie* deeply felt their troubles i
defence of
their comrades expired, and hundreds of mil
lions of national obligation were incurred. A
manly people will not neglect the training ne
cessary to resist aggression, but they should be
jealous lest the civil be made subordinate to the
military element. We need to encourage in
every legitimate way, a study of the Constitution
for which the war was waged, a knowledge of
and reverence for whose wise checks by those
so soon to occupy the places filled by their sen
iors will bo the only hope of preserving the Re
public. The young men of the the nation, not
yet under the control of party, must resist the
centralization—an outgrowth of the great rebel
lion—and bo familiar with the fact that the
country consists of united States, and that when
the States surrendered certain great rights for
the sake of a more perfect union, they retained
rights us valuable aud important os those they
relinquished for tlie common weal.
The sound old doctrine, far different from
the teachings that led to the attempt to secede,
and a kindred theory that States were taken out
of the Union by the rash nets of conspirators
that happen to dwell within their borders, must
be received and advocated with the enthusiasm
of early mnnhoodv or tlie people will be ruled
by corrupt combinations of the commercial
centres, who plethoric from wealth, annually
migrate to tlie capital of the nation to purchase
special legislation. Until the representaiives of
the people in Congress more fully exhibit the di
verse views and interest of the whole nation, and
laws cease to be made without full discussion at
the behest of some party leader, there will nev
er be a proper respect shown by the law-making
power either to the judicial or executive branch
of tho Government. The generation just begin
ning to use tlie ballot-box, it is believed, only
that their attention should be called to these
considerations to indicate, by their votes that
they wish their representatives to observe all the
restraints which the people, in adopting the
Constitution, intended to impose upon party ex-
cess.
Cidmly reviewing my administration of tho
Government, I feel th«t, with a sense of account
ability to God, having conscientiously endeav
ored to discharge my whole duty, I have noth
ing to regret. Events have proved the correct
ness of the policy set forth in my first and sub
sequent messages; the woes which have follow-
lowed the rejection of forbearance, magnanimity
and constitutional rule are known and deplored
by the nation.
* It is a matter of pride and gratification, in re
tiring from the most exalted position in the gift
free people, to feel and know that in a long,
arduous, aud eventul public life, my action has
never been influenced by desire for gain, and
that I can in all sincerity inquire, “ Whom have
I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or off
whose bunds have 1 received any bribe to blind
my eyes therewith ?” No responsibility for wars
that imve been waged or blood that lias been
shed rests upon me. My thoughts have been
those of peace, and my efforts have been ever to
allay contentions ammip my countrymen.
Forgetting the past, let us return to the first
principles of the Government;, and unfurling the
oanner of our country, and inscribe upon it, iu
ineffaceable characters, “ The Constitution and
tlie Union, one and inseperablo.”

li becomes our sad nml painful task to rocord
the death of tho senior editor of this paper, It.
M. Ohio, Hen., who died on Monday, Bill iust.,
of pneumonia, after an illness of ono Week, in
th»* seventy*secoud year of his age, having been
bom on the 6th of August, 171#. He was per
mitted to live to see the Recorder, which ho es
tablished, enter Us fiftieth year, and was, per
haps, nt the time of his death, tbo oldest editor
in the State, and among tho oldest iu the United
States.
Ol his character as a man and a citizen, wo
do not feel disposed to speak, when we consider
tlie near and dear relationship he bore to tho
writer of this notice. We leave that task to
other pons. But we may. be permitted to speak
of him as a lather, and as such, ho was ono
among tho best of fathers. In the domestic re
lations of life, he was kind, teuder and consid
erate', and gavu to his family a life unstained
and untalpted by any vice, aiul ever impressed
by bis teachings, while sittiug around tlie do
mestic hearthstone, the preceuta of virtue, truth,
integrity and religion, and fully illustrated them
by liis example. His loss to bis family, they
alone know and feel. He leaves a wife uud nine
hildren, ull but one grown.
He died in full communion witli tho Presby
terian Church, of which he has been a member
for over twenty years.
The late unhappy condition of our country
weighed with crushing weight upon him, and in
bis old age he saw no silver lining to the cloud
in the future for himself. The death of many
of his old personal friends througoht tho State
‘eved
and
his own; for, like them, by an untiring energy
und a perseverance that knew no abatement m
bis younger days, he bad accumulated around
him* the comtortu of life, and fondly hoped to
retire from tho cares of jrablio life to enjoy the
rest he so much desired and coveted, but it was
not permitted him.
It maybe gratifying to tho readers of fhe Re
corder to know that he appreciated the generous
support given him, and ever spoke of his sub
scribers in the kindest terms, und classed them
among those of the most reliable and intelligent
in the South, for ho was personally known to
the majority of them. To the counties that he
visited yearly for the last twenty, thirty, forty
and fifty years, he became much attached, and
ever felt a lively interest in their welfare and
that of their citizens. Particularly did he re
member Newton, Jasper, Jones, Greene, Put-
nain, Hancock, Wilkinson, Laurens, Montgom
ery, Telfair, Coffee, Tattnall, Decatur, Thomas,
Lowndes, nnd many others, having done iu
them, in days past, *u pleasant and profitable
business. But those who looked for him so reg
ularly at their courts, will see him no more for-
r. and as his old friends pass'away, like him
self, the waves of time will washout the memory
of liiB existence, and hi* tombstone alone will
point to his last resting place.
The good that ho did through hifi paper will
only be revealed beyond tho grave; and we can
bnt feel, though our father, that tlie world yras
better fin* his having lived in it.

Adtertisino.—It is a vast and growing con
cern, and only of late seems to be beginning to
be pursued on anything like sound and system
atic principles. Active nud intelligent business
men now uccount advertising as u regular ex
rent expenses. Thus the great Stewart himself
very recently expended forty-five thousand dol
lars upon one single advertisement in various
papers throughout the country, and yet many
people would think A. T.- .Stewart & Co. beyond
the necessity of advertising.
’ Tbo prices paid in Northern dities are deter
mined purely by circulation,• and they vary from
two dollars to ono cent a line. There is no at
tempt to establish a scale of uniform prices, be
cause such a scale would evidently be prepos
terous, both as to the consideration to the adver
tiser and the expense to the publisher.
An advertisement might be priced a dollar and
placed before a thousand people at a cost to tiie
publisher of fifty cents—and the same advestiso-
mervt might be priced at twenty dollars and put
in the bunds of three hundred thousand readers
at a cost of fifteen dollars. It is for the adver
tiser to settle the question of the sound economy
of the relative expense as compared with tho
relative advantages. Both are advertisements
reading precisely alike in the single copies ho
lias before him, but he, himself, must see that
an uniformity of price is out of the question.
The same* consideration must affect prices,
though to a less extent, in Georgia. An adver
tisement in a paper of small circulation and not
much sought after, is manifestly worth very little
compared with an advertisement iu a standard
paper of large circulation, which is eagerly read,
and to which the people are habitually accus
tomed to look for information and advice upon
all matters of general interest. The announce
ment of the advertiser gains 1 gteat advantage
from the wide circulation-, ClUYMctcr and weight
of tl»e vehicle he selects. Besides, it costs the
publisher much more,- tfud both these points
justly demand increased compensation. It is
for these, among ninny reasons, that we are un
able to discover any philosophy in the proposi
tion to demand and prescribe uniform rates, as
has been suggested. Uniform rates are explod
ed. We have no idea intelligent advertisers will
pay them more willingly than they would agree
to sell one bushel of corn for a dollar and ten
bushels of corn for a dollar.—Macon Telegraph.

ing House, corner Nassau and Beekman streets,

We suggest to His Excellency, tho Governor,
the propriety of discontinuing the publication of
pardons and appointments of Inspectors of Fer
tilizers. The publication of each of the latter
cost the State about sevenry-five dollars, while
the former cost not loss than one hundred and
fifty each. The people complain of this as an
unnecessary and unusual expense, and it would
be well if it were discontinued. To advertise
an Inspector of Fertilizers for each county in the
State would alone cost in the neighborhood of
ten thousand dollars. Aud there is no necessi
ty foe such an expense.
