It' has power to enforce the laws, puni-h treason, and ensure domestic tranquility. In case of the usurpa tion of the Government of-a State by one man, or an oligarchy, it becomes a duty of the United State* to make good the guaran tee to that State of a republican form of gov- canmc-nt, and so to maintain the hemogcnc- ousness of nil. Docs the lapse of time reveal defects ? A simple mode of amendment is provided in the Constitution itself, so that its conditions can always be made to conform to the requirements of advancing civilization. No room is allowed even for the" thought of a pn—Utility oi its coming to an end. And these powers ol self-preservation have always been asserted in their complete integrity by every patriotic Chief Magistrate—by Jeffer son nnd Jackson, not less than by Washington and Madison. The parting advice of the Fnther of his Country, while yet President) to. the people of tlio United States, was, that “the free Constitution, which -.was the work of their hands, might be sacredly main tained and the inaugural words of Presi- di at .Tf-lVcr-uii lii-lil up "the pre-ervatiou of the General Government, in its Constitutional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace nt home and safety abroad." Tin- Ci.n-titutiou is the work of "the People ofthe United States,” nnd it should be as indestructible as HBVf V _ y Y - . " It is not at rouge that the framers ofthe Constitution, which bad no model in tbe past, should not have fully comprehended the ex- I. lienee of their own work. Fresh from the struggle' of an arbitrary ponfer, many patriots suffered from liarrassing fear» of"an absorp tion of the State governments by the General Government, and many from a dread that the States would break away from their orbits. But the very greatness of our country should allay the apprehension of encroachments by the General Government. The subjects that come unquestionably within its jurisdiction arc so numerous that it must ever naturally refuse to be embarrassed by questions that **** lie beyond it. Were it otherwise, the Execu tive] would sink beneath the burden; the channels ot justice would be choked; legis lation would be obstructed by excess; so that there is a greater temptation to exercise some of the functions of the General Government through the States than to trespass on their rightful sphere. “The absointc acquiescence in the decisions of the majority” was, at the the close ofthe war. it i- not competent for P«cc footing, couiprehen ding COJXX) troops.of ail the general government to extend the elect- die“ranks'tod£hly.twSUioulxad six ■PM .neiPHP^™ ,Te franciuse :n ,he several States, it is equal- hundred, if the circumstance- of the country should tT 1 f f "*« were, from the beginning, null and void.

The maintenance of the Union bring with it “the suppport of the State governments in all L their right^ M but it is not one of the rights ofl any State government to renounce its own place in the Union, or to nullify tbe laws of the Union. The hugest liberty is to be maintain ed in the discussion of tlie acts of the Fedtr-I al Government; but ffcefels no *ppn[j 44ft its laws, except to the various branches of the Government itself, or to the people, who grant to the members of the Legiriature and I of the Executive Departments no tenure but a limited one, and in tltat manner always rc-| tain the powers of redress. | jj ■ 44 Tlie sovereignty of the States ” is the Ian-1 guage in tlie Confederacy; and not the lan guage ofthe Constitution. Tlie latter con tains tbe emphatic words. “The Constitu tion. and tbe laws of the United States which -ball be make in pursuance thereof. And all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of tin- United States, -hall be tlie supreme law of the land; and tlie judges in every State-hall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or laws "of any Suite to the contrary notwithstanding.” Certainly the Governmeut of the United, States is n limited govemnti nt; and so if every State government a limited govern ment. With us tliis idea of limitation spreads through every" form of administration,general. State, and municipal, and rests on the great distinguishing principle of the recognition of the rights of man. The ancient repulics ab- sorlied the individual in the State, prescrilied liis religion, and controlled his activity. The American system rests on the a.-sertion ofthe equal right of every man to life, lilierty. aDd the pursuit of happiness ; to freeuomofeon- sciencc. to the culture and exercise of all liis faculties. A- a consequence, tbe State Gov- emmen is limited, as to the General Govern ment in the interest of the Union, n- to the individual citizen in the interest of freedom Statt-% with proper limitations ofpower, are cs-ontial to the existence ot tlie Constitution of the United States. At the Very commence ment, when we is-iimed a place among the Powers of th*- earth, ilie Declaration of Inde pendence was adopted by States: so also were the Arti'ii - of Confederation; and when "Xlic people ef iIk United States" ordained and eteahKahei the Constitution, it was the * a-oent of tbe States, one by one. which gave j t-*Mskiira. Tn jbe event, too, of any amend ment to th. ■ astitution, the proposition of ' i** — * -be confirmation of States. where their vitality was impaired, but not extinguished—their functions suspended, but not destroyed.. ' But il fay 8tkH of* refufks to per form its offices, there is tbe more need that tbe General Government shonld maintain all its authority, and, as soon as practicable, re- -tunc the exercise of nil its functions. On this principle I have acted, and have gradu ally and quietly,,and by almost impercepti ble steps, sought to restore the rightful energy of the General Government and of the States. To that end, Provisional Governors have been appointed for the States, Convention* called, Governors elected, Legislatures assembled, and Senators and Kepre.-entativca-chosen to the Congress ofthe United State*. At the same time, the Courts of the United States, as far as could be done, have been reopened, so that the laws of the United States may be enforced through their ngency. The block ade has been removed and the custom-houses re-established’in ports of entry, so that the revenue of tlie United States may be collected. The Postoffice Department renews its cease less activity, and the General Government is thereby enabled to communicate promptly with its officers and iigents. The courts bring security to persons and property; the opening of the ports invites the restoration of industry and commerce; tlie postoftice renews the facilities of social intercourse and of business. And is it not happy for us all that the restoration of each one of these func tions of the General Government brings with it a hjessing to the States over which they are extended. Is it not n sure promise af har mony and renewed attachment to the Union that, after all that has happened, the return of the General Government is known only as a beneficence! I know very well that this policy is attend ed with some risk; .that for its success it re quires afcleast the acquiescence of the States which it concerns: that it implies an invita tion to those States, by renewing their allegi ance to the United States, to resume their functions as States of the Union. But it is a risk that must be taken; in the choice of dif ficulties, it is the smallest risk; and to dimin' ish and, if possible, to remove all danger, I have felt it incumbent on me to assert one other power ofthe General Government—the power of pardon. As no State can throw a defense over the crime of treason, the power of pardon is exclusively vested in the Execu tive Government of tlie United States. In cxcrcisjajj? Mat C> MWfiXMOcc&Bwyi precaution to connect it with the deafest recognition of the binding force of tlie laws of tlie United States, and an unqualified ac knowledgment of tlie great social change of condition in regard to slavery which lias grown out of tbe war. . . The next step I have taken to restore the constitutional relations of the States has been an invitation to them to participate in the high office of amending tlie Constitution. Every patriot must wish for a general am nesty at the earliest epoch consistent with public safety. For this great end there is need of a concurrence of alt opinions, and the spirit of mutual conciliation. Aft parties in the late terrible conflict must work together in harmony._. It .is not too much to ask, in the name of The whole people,'that, oh the one side, the plan of restoration shall proceed in conformity with a willingness to cast the dis orders of the past into oblivion ; and that, on the other, the evidence of sincerity in the future maintenance of the Union shall be put lieyond any donbt by the ratification of the proposed amendment to tin- Constitution, which provides for the abolition of slavery forever within the limits of our country. So long as the adoption of this amendment is delayed, so long will doubt, and jealousy, and uncertainty, prevail. This is the measure work of cannot too strongly urge a dispassionate from *516,'Jto,131 to *33,814,401, which smount.

At the same timcl do not advise to any Perscu attempt it redreis by sets of legisistioo. For tlie future, friendship between tho two countries must rest on the basiJof mutual justice. From the moment oi the establishment of our Constittntlon, the civilized world has been con- vnlsed liy revolutions in the interests of democra- cyorof monarchy; but through all those revolu tions tlie United States have wisely and firmly refused to become propagandists of republican ism. It is the only government suited to our con dition; bntwobavo never sought to impoao ttou others; and we hate consistently followed the advice of Washington to recommend it onlr in the careful preservation and prudent use of tlie bless ing During all tlie intervening period tho policy of ^ European Powers and of the United States has, on tho whole) been harmonious. Twice, indeed, rumors of the invasion of 6ome parts of America, in the Interest of monarchy,have prevailed; twice tny predecessors have had occasion to announce tho views of this nation in respect to snch Interfer ence. On both occasions the remonstrance oftlio United States was respected, from a deep convic tion, on the part of European Governments, that the system of non-interference uud mutual abstin ence from propagandise! was the true into for tho two hemispheres. Since thoso times we have ad vanced to wealth and power; But we retain the same purpose to lcavotho nations of Europe to choose their own dynasties and form their own systems of K raent. This consistent, moderation may lemand a corresponding moderation. Wc regard ttas a great calamity to ourselves, to the cause of good government, and to the pcafc of the World, should any European power chUwq the American people, as it were, to the defence of republicanism against foreign interference. We cannot forsce and arc unwilling to conaider what opportunlttca might present themselves, what com bination* might offer to protect ourselves against designs Inimical to onr form of government. The United States desires to act In the future as they have overacted heretofore; they never will be driv en from.tliat course hnt by tho aggression of Euro pean powers; and wo rely on the wisdom and Jus tice of those powers to respect the system of uou- interference which has so long been sanctioned bv time, and w-lilch, by its good results, has approved itself to both continents.

Indeed, it is not too much to ask of the States which arc now resuming their places in tho family of the Union to give this pledge of perpetual loyalty and peace. Until it is done, the pad, however much wo may desire it, will not be forgotten. The adoption ot the amendment reunites us beyond all power of disruption.

XV nen,' on the organization of our under the Constitution, the Frcsldcnf of”thc "uni ted States delivered his inaugural address to the two houses of Congress, he said to them, and through them to tbe couutry and to mankind, that “tho preservation ofthe sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked on the experiment intrusted to tho Ameri can people.” And tho House of Representatives answered Washington by the voice of Madison: “We adore tho Invisible hand which has led the American people, through so many difficulties, to cherish a conscious responsibility for the destiny of republican liberty.” More than seventy-six years have glided away since these words were spoken; the United States have passed through severer trials than were foreseen; and now, at this new epoch in our existence as one nation, with our Union purified by sorrows, and strengthened by conflict, and established by the virtue of tho people, tlie greatness of the occasion invites us onco more to repeat, with solemnity, the pledges of our fathers to hold ourselves answerable before our fellow men for the success of the republican form of government. Experience lias proved its sufficiency hi peace and In war; it has vindicated its authority through dangers, and afflictions, nnd sudden 'and terrible emergencies, which would have crushed any system that lmd been less firmly fixed lu the hearts of the people. At the inaugu ration of Washington the foreign relations of the c*nntry were few, and its trade was repressed by hostile regulations; now all tile civilized nations pf the gIBBe welcome our commerce,.and their governments profess toward us amity. Then our country felt its way hesitatingly along an untried path, with States so little bound together by rapid means of communication as to he hardly known to one another, and with historic traditions extend ing over very fmr years; now intercourse between the States Is swift and intimate; the experience ol centuries lias been crowded into a fewgenerations, and has created nn intense, imlesirueUbte nation- ality. Then our jurisdiction did not reach beyond the inconvenient boundaries ofthe territory which had achieved independence; now, through cessions of lands, first colonized by Spain and France, the country has acquired a more complex character, and ha* for its natural limits the chain of takes, the Gulf of Mexico, and on tlie cast and the west tho two great oceans. Other nations were wasted by civil wars for ages before they could establish for themselves the ncccssaiy degree of unity; the latent conviction that our form ot government is the best ever known to the world, E to emerge from civil war within four years, with a complete vindication ofthe constitutional author ity of the general government, and with our local liberties and State institutions unimpaired. The throngs of emigrants that crowd to shores are witnesses of the confidence of all people in onr permanence. Here is the great land of tree labor, where industry is blessed with unexampled rewards, and tbe bread of tbeworkingmanls sweet ened by the consciousness that the cause of the country “ Is his own cause, his own safety, his own dignity."
