Mr. Baldwin. Speaker of tho llonso
delegate as Chairman of tho Com-
mittee presented the resolutions
and delivered an address acknowl-
edging allegiance to the United
States Government and pruisingthe
policy of tho President. Tho Pres-
ident responded as follows:
Gentlemen to the resolutions you
have just presented to mo and tho
clear forcible and conciso remarks
which you have made in explanation
of tho position of Virginia I fhall
not attempt to make a formal speech
but simply enter into a plain con
versation in regard to tho condition j
of things in which we stand. As a
promise to what I may say pormit
mo nrst to tenuer you my tnanKs
tor this visit and next to express
tho gratification I feel in meeting so
many intelligent responsible aud
roapostahle men of Virginia bear-
ing to mo tho sontimeuts which have
been expressed in tho resolution ot
your Legislature and in the remarks
accompanying them.
They are so far as they refor to
the Constitution of the country the
sentiments and the principles em-
braced in that charter of the Gov-
ernment. Tho preservation of the
Union haB been from my ontranco
into public life one of my cardinal
tenets. At tho very inoipioncy of
this rebellion I set my faco against
the dissolution of the Union of the
States.
I do notmake this allusion forthe
purpose of bringing up anything
which has transpired which may bo
regarded as of an unkind or unpleas-
ant character; but I believed then as
I believe now and as you have most
unmistakably indicated that the se-
curity and protection of the rifrhts
of all the peoplo were to bo found
in the Union.
Upon this conviction I based my
opposition to the offorts which not-
withstanding tho perils through
which I have passed; and yon are
Dot unaware that the trial has been
a severe ono. When opposition to
the Government from one soction of
the country and that the soction in
which my life had been passed a d
with which my interests were ident
ified 1 stood as I stand now con
tending for the Union and asseve-
rating that the best and surest way
to obtain our rights and protect our
interests was to remain in the un-
ion nndor the protection of the con
stitution.
The ordeal throuch which we have
passed during tho last four or five
years demonstrates most conclusive-
ly that that position was right; and
to-day aftor the experiment has
been tried and has failed after the
demonstration has been most con-
clusively afforded that this Union
can not be dissolved it is extremely
gratifying to me to meet gentlemen
as intelligent and as responsible as
yourselves who are willing and anx-

in the constitution and obedience to
the laws mado in pursuance thereof.
VTe were at one time seporated;
The scperation was to roe painful in
tho extreme. But now after hav-
ing gone through with a struggloin
which the powers of the Govern-
ment have oeeo tried when we have
wnng around to a point at which
we can meet to agree and are wil-
ling to unite our efforts for the pre-
servation of the Government which
I believe is the best in the world it
in exceedingly gratifying to me to
meet you to-day standing upon
common ground rallying around
the Constitution and the Union of
these States the preservation of
which as I conscientiously and hon-
estly believe will result in the pro-
motion and advancement of this
people. I repeat I am gratified to
meet you to-day expressing the
principles and announcing the eon
ments to which you have given ut-
terance and I trust that this occa-
sion will long be remembered.
I have do doubt your intentions
are to carry out and comply with
every single principle laid down in
the resolutions yoa have snbmitted.

ho cannot acknowledge obedienco to
all the laws unless ho is loyal.-
When the people send such men in
good faith they are entitled to rep-
resentation through them.
The intorviow between tho Presi-
dent and the delegates was a pro-
longed one and a full and free intor-
j chango of views was made. Tho
I President concluded his remarks by
saying: "Gentlemen I shall contin-
! uo to pursue tho eamo lino of policy
I which I have pursued from thecom-
' mencemont of tho rebellion to tho
present time. 31 y efforts hnvo been
to preserve tho UViion of tho Slates.
I nevor for a single moment enter-
tained the opinion that a State could
withdraw from tho Union by its
own will. That attempt was made
and it failed. 1 shall continuo to
pursue tho same lino of policy that
has been my constant guido. I can-
not take the position that a State
which attempted to sccedo is out of
tho Union when I contendedall tho
timo that it could not go out and
that it never has been out. I cannot
bo forced into that position. Jlonce
when the States and their people
shall have complied with thcrequiro-
ments of the Government I shall be
in favor of their resuming tboir
former rolations.
I do not intend to say anything
personal but at tho beginnning of
the recent gigantic struggle bet een
different soctions North and South
thoro were extreme men North and
extreme men South. This great
Government was kept upon the an-
vil and hammered during the rebel-
lion and it has been hammered
since the rebellion and there seems
to bo a disposition to continue tho
hammering until the Government is
destroyed. I have opposed that sys-
tem always; I oppose it now.
Tho Government in the assertion
of its powers and in maintenance of
tho principles ot the Constitution
has taken hold of ono extreme and
with the strong arm of physical
f lower has put down the rebel-
ion. Now as we swing around
the circle of tho Union with a fixed
and unalterablo determination to
stand by it wo find the osunterpart
or duplicate of the same spirit that
played to this feeling and these per-
sons in the South. This other ex-
treme which stands in tho way must
stand unshaken and unmoved upon
its basis. The Government must bo
preserved.
I hope that all the pooplo of this
country in good fnith and in tho
fullness of their hearts will upon
principles which you have onnunci-
ated here to-day of maintenance of
the Union lay aside every other
feeling for the good of our common
country and with uplifted faces to
Heaven swear that our altars and
all shall sink in dust together rath-
er than that glorious Union shall not
be preserved. (Great Applause.)
I am gratified to find the loyal
sentiment of the country manifest-
ing itself in these expressions; and
now that the attempt to destroy the
Union has failed at one end of the
line I trust we shall go on determ
ined to preserve the Unrn in its
original purity against all opposers.
After some further conversation
between tho members of the Com-
mittee President Johnson said : "It
now I can only arrive at the point
at which these States are all restored
each havingits representative in the
National councils with the Union
restored so that we can proclaim
peace and good will among the peo-
ple of the United States it will 1
to mo a very happy day. 1 care not
what may be said in taunt or jeer. I
cars not what may bo insinuated;
but I tell you whenever that point
it reached the measure of my am-
bition will have been filled and
more than filled. I Lave no object
beyond it.
"Oh how proud and gratifying it
would be to me to retire from this
place feeling and knowing that I hnd
been instrumental in consummati ig
this great end." (Great applauoe.)
The delegation then shook the
President heartily by the hand
thanked him for the kind expres-
sion of hit opinions and retired. . j
