Preside ill’s MeMHitgc*.
Wahiiixotov, Dec. 3.—Tho following Isa ay-
noixis of the President's nutaage :
The first duly at the cloeo of tho civil war was
to repair injuries, and secure the benefits of the civ
il war's lesion* at tlie earliest moment. Tills duty
was promptly accepted by tbe Executive and In
surrectionary States.
Restoration in tlie find momenta of peace was
believed a* easy and certain ns iudi- pcnsnble.
These expectations were disappointed bv leg
islation, ami now there is no union. The Union
and Constitution are one and Inseparable. As
long as one Is obeyed’the ether will be preserved,
ami if one I* destroyed both must |Mrisli together.
There’ is no militury or other ncoewify real or
pretended, which can prevent obedience to tho
Constitution either North or South. The hope
that we may ultimately ooncur In a plan of set
tlement consistent with our true InU-rewt and
sworn duties. Is too natnrul and too just to be
easily abandoned. It is clear lo the Presidents
apprehension lliut the Blatc* lately In rebellion
are still metnlKTH or the Union -the Executive,
my predecewor, as well as myself, and heads of
all Deuurtmenta. have adopted and aclinl iqHm
the |sinciple that the Uniiui is not dissolved, but
is indissoluble. Congress sulmiiitcd the ninend-
inent to the Constitution to the Southern States,
and accepted their nets of rntillcatlo 1. Tito J udg-
OS 01“;!:« Supreme Court lutvo included tlie South
ern Slates tltelr Districts, and if the Southern
.States are compouei.' ."Hrts of the Union, the Con
stitution Is the Kiijircmc law fvr them, ns for nil
other Plates*. They are* bound lo pbey It, und
mi are we.
Being sincerely convinced flint these view*
are correct, tlie President recommends the repeal
of the acts placing the Southern StuUs under
military masters. The conflict between the re
construction acts nnd tbe rights of the people un
der thu Constitution tire nrguc.l and illustratul at
length.
Alluding to negro suflVage, tlie President Raya
live subjection of the Southern Stairs lo negro
dominion would be worse than tlie existing mili
tary despotism, and that the peoplu will onouro
eiidlesH military oppresRion lather than degrude
themselves by subjection to tlie negro race.
Blocks are entitled to Iw well aud liuninnly
governed, but if it were possible to givo them a
guveruir.ttitof thefar own, It would become %
grave question whether a u ought to do mi, or
whellHV comm »ii liuiimnity would not require mi
lo save lli.’in from tliemsHve*. But It Is not
iiroposi-d fhut they shall only govern themselves,
but that they ahull govern tbe white race, and to
a greater or In* extent control the destiny of the
whole country. Negro character Is contrasted
with tho v Irtuo, Intelligence or spirit of progress
of the white ruco negro populutnthm is con
trasted w ith emigrants, and different terms ol ac
quiring citizenship and franchise, stated. The
PreVldent yields to no mini In attachment to a
rule for general suffrage, hut it requires of some
classes a time suitable for probation. To trans
fer our political inheritaeo to Ilia negroes would,
in tlie President's opinion, lie an abandonment
of a duty tablet! we owe alike to the memory of
our fathers and the rights of our children. De
picting horrors, inevitable from the proix*cd gov
eminent, the President any* II will require n strong
standing army, und |Molwbly more than two hun
