PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION.
The Insurrection Declared at an
End.
Washington, April 2, 1866.
By tbe President of the United States, a Proc
lamation :
Whereas, By proclamation on tbe 15th and
19th of April, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-one, the President of tbe United
Statei, in virtue of the power vested in him
by tbe Constitution and the laws, declared
that tbe laws of the United States were op
posed, and tbe execution thereof obstructed,
in tbe States of South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Lou.
isiana and Texas, by combinations too pow
erful to be suppressed by the ordinary course
ofjndicial proceedings, or by tbe powers
vested in tbe Marshals by law : and,
Whereas, By another proclamation made
on the 16th day of August, in the same year,
in pursuance of an act of Congress approved
July 13, 1861, tbe inhabitants of Georgia,
South Carolina, Virgir.it, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Florida, except tbe
inhabitants of that part of tbe State of Vir
ginia lying west of tbe Alleghany Mountains,
and to such other parts of that State, and
the other States before mentioned, as might
maintain a loyal adhesion to the Union and
tbe Constitution, or might be, from time to
time occupied and controlled by the forces of
the United States, engaged in the dispersion
of insurgents, were declared to be in a state
of insurrection against the United States ;
and,
Whereas, By another proclamation, on the
first day of July, 1862, issued in pursuance of
an act of Congress, approved June 7, in the
same year, the insurrection was declared to
be still existing in the States aforesaid, with
the exception of certain specified counties in
the State of Virginia ; and,
Whereas, By another proclamation, made
on tbe 2d day of April, 1863, in pursuance of
tbe act of Congress of July 13, 1861, tbo ex
ceptions named in the proclamation of Au«
gust 16, 1861, were revoked, and the inhabi.
tanis of the States of Georgia, South Caroli
na, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Florida and Virginia, except the forty-eight
counties of Virginia, designated as West Vir
ginia, and the ports of New Orleans, Key
West, Port Royal and Beaufort, S. C. ; and,
Whereas, By another proclamation, of the
Ist day of July, 1862 issued in pursuance of
an act of Congress, approved June 17, of the
same year, tbe insurrection was declared to
be still existing in tbe States aforesaid, with
the exception of certain specified counties in
tbe State of Virginia ; and,
Whereas, By another proclamation, made
on the 2d of April, 1863, in pursuance of an
act of Congress, of July 13. 1861, the excep
tions named in tbe proclamation of August
16, 1861, were revoked, and the inhabitants
of tbe States of Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisi
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida
and Virginia, except the forty-eight counties
of Virginia, designated as West Virginia, and
ports of New Orleans, Key W. st, Prrt Royal
and Beanfort, in South Carolina, were de
clared to be in a state of insurrection against
tbe United States ; and,
Whereas, The House of Representatives,
on January 22,1861, adopted a resolution in
the words following, viz: “ Resolved, By tbe
House of Representatives of the Congress of
t ie United States, that the present deplorable
civil war has been forced upon tbe country
by the disunionists of the Southern States,
now in rebellion against a constitutional gov
ernment, and in arms around the capital, that
in this national emergency, Congress, banish
ing all feelings of resentment, will do only its
duty to the whole country; that this war is
n >t waged on our partin any spirit of oppre a
sion, nor for any purpose of conquest or sul -
jugation, nor far the purpose of overthrowing
or interfering with tbe established inetitm.
tions of those States, out to maintain and de.
feud tbe purity of the Constitution, and to
preserve tbe Union with all dignity, equality,
and the rights of the several States unimpairs
ed; and as soon as these objects are accoms
plished, the war ought to cease ;”
Whereas, The Senate of the United States,
on the 25th of July, 1861, adopted a similar
resolution;
Whereas, These resoulutions, though not
joint or concurrent, may be regarded as bav
ins' «xpi*-’s»d tbe sense of Congress upon the
a u eject to wiiTch they relate ; and,
Whereas, By my proclamation of the 13th
of June last, the insurrection in the State of
Tennessee was declared to have been sups
pressed, the authority of the United States
therein to be undisputed, and such United
States officers as had been duly c mmissiom d
to be in the undisputed exercise of their offi
cial functions; and,
Whereas, There now exists no organized
armed resistance of misguided citizens nor
others to the authority of the United States
in tbe States of Georgia, South Carolina, Vit.
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida,
and the laws can be sustained and enforced
therein by the proper civil authority, State or
Federal, and the people of tbe said States ai«
well and loyally disposed, and have con’ormed
or will conform in their legislation to the
condition of affairs growing out of the
amended Constitution of the United States,
prohibiting slavery within the limitsand ju
risdiction of the United States; and
Whereas, In view of the before recited
premises, it is the manifest determination of
the American people that no State, of its own
will, shall have the right or power to go out
of or separate itself from or be separated
from the American Union, and that therefore
each State ought to remain and constitute an
integral part of the United States ; and
Whereas, The people of tbe several before
mentioned States, have, in tbe manner afore
said, given satisfactory evidence that .they
acquiesce in this important revolution of the
National Union ; and,
Whereas, It is believed to be the funda
mental principle o’’ Government, that people
who have revolted, and who have been over
come and subdued, must be dealt with so as
to induce them virtually to become friends,
or else they must be held by absolute military
power 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 Constitutional comraunii
ties only as States and not as Territories, and
provides no protectorates ; and,
Whereas, Such constructed States must nec
essarily be, and by tbe Constitution and laws
of tbe United States are, made equals : and
placed on a like footing as to polit'cal rights, im
munities, dignity and power, with tbe several
States with which they are united : and
Whereas, The observance of political equal
ity as a ot right and justice is .well
calculated to encourage tbe people of the
States *o be and become more and more con
stant a®d persevering in their renewed allegi
ance ; and.. „
Whereas, Standing armies, military occupa
tion, martial law, military tribunals, and sus
pension of the privilege ot the writ of»habeas
corpus, are in time of peace dangerous to the
puonc interest and incompatible with the in
dividual rights of citizens, contrary to the ge
nius and spirit of our free institutions, and
exhaustive ot the National resources, and
ought not, therefore, to be sanctioned or al
lowed, except in case of war for repelling in
vaders or suppressing insurrection or rebel-,
lion ; and *
Wnereas, The policy of tbe Goverment of
the United States from the begiuing of the in.
surrection to its fiual suppression bas been in
conformity with the piinciples herein set torih
and enumerated ; therefore,
I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby proclaim and declare that
the insurrection which heretofore existed in
tbe States of Georgia. South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Texas and Florida, is
at an end, and henceforth to be so regarded.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and caus< d tbe seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the City of
Washington, this second day of April, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six, and ot the indepen*
dence of tbe United States of America the
ninetieth.
[Signed] ANDREW JOHNSON.

Secretary of State.
Description of a Well-Taxed
Country.
Sidney Smith’s terrible picture of bis own
well-taxed enuntry will never be forgotten.—
Wbat was then, and is still, true of England
has been made too true ot our country, by the
wicked policy of sectional parties and by the
robberies and plundering which were permit-,
ted in the prosecution of tbe war. Here is the
picture:
Taxes were piled on taxes, until they reach
es every article which enters into the mouth,
or covers tbe back, or is planed under foot;
taxes upon everything which it is pleasant to
see, hear, feel, smell, or taste; taxes upon
warmth, light, and locomotion ; taxes on ev
erything on earth and in tbe waters under the
earth ; on everything that comes from abroad
or is grown at home ; taxes on the raw mate
rial; taxes on fresh value that is added to it
by the industry of man ; taxes on the source
wbicfi pampers man’s appetite, and tbs drug
which restores him to health ; on tbe ermine
which decorates the judge and tbe rope which
hangs tbe criminal ; on the noor man’s salt and
the rich man,a specie; on tbe brass nails of the
coffin and tbe ribbor-s of the bride. At bed or
board, coucbant or levaut, we must pay.
The school boy whips his taxed top ; the
beardless youth manages bis taxed horse with
a taxed bridle, on a taxed road ; and tbe dy-.
ing Englishman, pouring his medicine which
has paid seven per cent., into a spoon that bas
paid fifteen per cent, flings himself back upon
tbe chintz bed which has paid twenty-two per
cent., makes bis will on uh eight pound stamp,
and expites iu the arms of an apothecary, who
has paid a license of a hundred pounds for the
privilege of putting him to death. His whole
property is then immddiately taxed from two
to len percent. Besides the probate, large
fees are demanded for burying him in the
chancel ; his virtues are handed dowh to pos
terity on taxed marble, and he is then gathers
ed to bis fathers, to be taxed no more.”
Thb Kind of Genbhals who Support the
Pbdsidbnt.—The Radicals bave succeeded in
securing for their disunion policy the support
of only such Generals as Geary, whose opin
ions in time of peace are just about as val
uable as tbeir services in time of war. But
the two great heroes of tbe struggle for tbe
Union, are wi'h the President, as we should
naturally expect that they would be. Says
the St. Louis Dispatch of tbe 6th inst :
Attempts have been made recently, to
create the impressinn that General; Grant is
hostile to the President’s policy. We have
good authority for positively denying this as
sumption. During the recent visit of the
distinguished Generals to Washington, tbo
Pni eilent a-ked Grant and Sherman thei
opinions about tbo condition of affairs at the
South, and of the temper of the Southern
people. Sherman replied in bis short terse
way: “The war is over, tbe South is beaten
and submits; tbe Southern States ought to be
allowed to come back to tbe Union.’’General
Giant heartily coincided in this opinion.
