Let me say in addition that I do not

plau-e ami a erv ; that the people will
sustain you.] I know, myfcoantrvmei, j
it has been not only in-iiuated, hut I
paid directly, that the intimation has
been given in high places tfiat, if sin h
a usurpation o! power had been exer
cised two hundred years ago, in a par -
ticular region, it would have cost a
certain individual his head.
What usurpation liov.tiuifow Jnnn.
son been gmltv of : None . .None .
The only usurpation I have been guilty
of, was standing between th people
and the encroachment of power , and
because 1 dared to sav. in conversation
with a fellow citizen and senator, that
I thought amendments to the Consti
tution ought not to be too frequent’y
made—that, it would lose a’l its dig*
nify. and that the old instrument would
be lost sight of in a short time ; be
cause I happened to say that it it was
amended, sach and sa*h niwdvmts
should he adopted; that it was usurpa
tion of p< Wer that it would have co:-t a
king Ins herd at a certain tune (Laugh
ter and applause.) In c- nneetion with
the subject it was maintained by the
kame gentleman th„t we were in the
midst of an earthquake. That he
trembled anu could not yield. (Laugh-j
ter.) Yes, there is an earthquake com
ing. There G a ground swell coming
of popular judgment an 1 indignation
(A voice, that is true ) The American
people will speak by their interest,
and they will know who are their;
friends and who are their enemies.
What positions have I hold and ;r this
Government beginning with an alder j
man and running through all branches
of the Legislature. ( A voice, from a ,
tailor, up^ —Some gentleman says I
hive been a tailor. (Tremendous ap
plause.) Now. that did not dn-comfit
me in the least, for when l used to be
a tailor l had the reputation of b ing a
good one and making close fits. ( rea

voice, no patch woik,; No, I dont
want no patchwork ; I want a wh le

you are President, and y> u most not

I have talked longer now than I in
tended. Let me thank you for the
honor you ave done me. So far as
this Government, n wseenied, let me
say otner word in reference to the
i’(institution of the United States
When I reached Washington, for the
purpose of b> is g inaugurated as Vice
1 ’re- I dent of the United Stares, I.had
i conversation with Mr. Linedo . We
■ere talking about the condition es
affairs. anil iti reference to matters in
in mvn State. I said that we had
called a Convention and had amended
iur U nst tution by abolishing slavery
in that St ife, a-State set embraced in
■li.- proclamation. This met his ap
probation and gave him encouragement,
Violin talking upon'the amendment
to the Con-'iturion, i.c said;
When the amendment, t.o the Con
stitution is adopted by three-ft ucihs ol*
the States, We shall have all*or pretty
mar all lam in tavor of .amending
the Constitution, i. there was eae oth>
er adopted
Said 1. What i< that Mr Urosident !
Said he. 1 have labored to preserve
this Union. 1 have toiled ft us years
.1 have been subj ;cled to etdamay and j
misrepresent-tion, jet n*y great desire
has been to preserve the union of these
State- intact under the Constitution as
they were before.
While the rebellion was going on
the (’ institution was rolled up as a
p ece of parchment. If it was violated
in some particulars to save the Gov> ;
eminent, there mat have been some
excuse to ju-tify if; hut now that peaee
is come and war is over, we want a
written Constitution; and I say the
time has come to t ike the Constitution
down, unroll it and understand its 1
nrAvitliAnd , T onw 1. * ~ I
t!e Cos stifufion and to save it; for it
docs seem to me that encroachment af- j
ter encroachment is proposed- I stand ;
tosday prepared, so tar as 1 cm. to re. j
sist these encroach me its upon the j
Constitution and Government. 1 tell
the opr ononts of this Government I
care not fro- i what quarier they eoinr, I
you whe are engaged in the work of;
breaking up the Government by amend
ments to the Constitution, that the I
principles of free Government are deep ;
ly rooted into the.American h.cai't All j
the powers combined 1 ease not of*
whaf character, cannot destroy that i
great instrument, the great charter o 1 ’
freedom. They may seem to succeed
for a time but their attempts will be
futile. They may think now that it !
can be done by a concurrent resolution, ;
but when it is submitted to the popu
lar judgment and the popular will, they
will find that they might as well have
und *rtaken to introduce a resolution to
repeal the laws of gravity as to keep
this l tiion from beiug ri stored, it i
just about as feasible to resist the law ;
ol gravitation, which binds alt to a ‘
common centre, as that great law which .
will bring back these States to thoir
tegular relation with the Union.

Wlien does*it expire? According-to the
late speech of Secretary Seward, the Freed
man's Bureau will expire twelve moi
from the date of the t’resi lent’s proclama
tion, declaring the war at an end, nd the
rebel Stab's restored to all t In ir rights and
privileges under, the Ceastitutiou. As tlii
proclatnation has n t yet been issued, there
is no telling how long the Bureau is yet to
remain. We were under the impression,
that the Bureau expired at theend of one
year from the cessation of hosdliiies, but
it seems that the war is not yet at an end.
nor can be so considered until a proclama
tion is published to that effect. The Radi
cals. t'.ien, had no need of extending it ; but
it seems that they were as blind as our
selves, ifot perceiving that lie “one year
after the restoration of peace’ commenced
with the date of the peace.proclamation
hereafter to be issued.
