co-extensive with the whole people, and contrast it with
the collection of gentlemen who are trying to destroy the
country, I -egari 't as more important than any conven-
tion tha ias sa at least since 1787. (Loud applause.) 1
think mar also say list the declarations that were there
made are equal :visa ~he Declaration of Independence Itself,
and hen:, to-dc 'renounce it a second Declaration o- En-
dependence. (Cries of " Gloi:ous !" and most enthusias fe
and prolonged applause.) You: address and declarations aro
nothing more nor less thar a re-affirmation of the constitu-
tion of the United States. (Cries of "6 ood"and cheers.) Yes
I will go further, and say that the declarations you have
made, that the ?rinciples you have enunciated in your ad-
dress, are. - second proclamation o emancipation to the
people of the United Staces—(renewecl applause)—for in
proclaiming an repreclaiming these great truths you have
laid down r constitutiona! platform upon which all can
make common cause, ani itanc together for the restoration
of the Sides and_ the preservation of the Government,
withou', reference to party. (Cheers.) The question only
is the salvation c: :.he country, for our country rises above
all party considerations or influences. (Cries of " Good,"
and cheers.) How many are in the United States that now
require to be free—that have the shackles upon their limbs,
and are bound as rigidly as though they were, in fact, in
slavery? repeat, then, that your declaration is the se-
cond proclamation of emancipation to the ?eople of the
United states, and offers a common ground upon which
all patriots can stand. (Loud cheers.) 'lr. Chairman and
gentlemen, 'et me in this connection ask you what lave (
to gain more than the advancement of the public welfare 7
I am as much opposed to the indulgence of egotism as any
one ; but here, in a conversational manner, while 7ormally
receiving the proceedings of this convention, may be per-
mitted to ask " What -lave to gain, consulting human
ambition, more than have gained, except in one thing ?"
My race is nearly run. i have been placed in the high office
which occupy under the constitution of the country, and
nay say thaL have hold, from lowest to highest, almost
every position to which a man may attain in our Govern-
ment. I have passed through every position—from an al-
derman of a village to the presidency of the United States—
and surely, gentlemen, this should be enough to gratify a
reasonable ambition. If I wanted authority, or if I wished
to perpetuate my own power, how easy it would have been
to hold and wield that which was placed in my hands by the
measures called the " Freedmen's Bureau Bill." (Laughter
and applause.) With an army which it placed at my dis-
cretion I could have remained at the capital of the nation ;
and with its fifty or sixty millions of appropriations at my
disposal, with the machinery to be worked by my own
hands, with my satraps and dependents in every town and
village, and then with the Civil Rights Bill following as an
auxiliary—(laughter) -in connection with all the other
appliances of the Government, I could have proclaimed
myself Dictator! (" That's true," and " Three cheers
for the President.") But, gentlemen, my pride and my
ambition have been to occupy that position which retains
all power in the hands of the people. (Cheering.) It is
upon that I have always relied—it is upon that I rely now.
(A Voice—" And the people will, not disappoint you.") And
1 repeat that neither the taunts nor jeers of Congress, nor
of a subsidised calumniating press, can drive me from my
purpose. (Great applause.) I acknowledge no superior
except my God, the author of my existence, and the
people of the United States. (Prolonged and enthusiastic
cheering.) For the one, I try to obey all His commands
as best I can compatible with my poor humanity—for the
other, in a political and representative sense, the high
behests of the people have always been respected arid
obeyed by me. (Loud cheers.) Mr Chairman, I have
said more than I intended to say. For the kind allusion
to myself contained in your address and in the resolutions
adopted by the Convention, let me remark that in this
crisis, and at the period of my public life, I hold above all
price, and shall ever recur with feelings of profound gratifica-
tion to the last resolution containing the endorsement of a
Convention emanating spontaneously from the great mass
of the people. (Loud cheers.) I trust and hope that my
future action may be such that you and the Convention
may not regret the assurance of confidence you have ex-
pressed in. me. (Cries of "We are sure of it.") Before
separating, my friends, one and all, committee and strangers,
please accept my sincere thanks for the kind manifestation
of regard and respect you have exhibited on this occasion.
I repeat I shall always continue to be guided by a firm and
conscientious conviction of duty—and that always gives
one courage—under the constitution which I make my
guide.
On the conclusion of his speech three cheers were given
for the President and three more equally earnest for Gen
Grant. The President and his suite then withdrew to the
door leading into the main hall of the mansion, where he.
stopped, Gen. Grant standing on his left, and the members
of the Cabinet extending the line to the left of Gen. Grant.
The members of the committee then passed in front of the
distinguished party,and were presented in turn to both the
President and Gen. Grant. Following the committee the
delegates who were present were introduced and the swarm
of citizens. A vigorous hand-shaking for upwards of-an
hour ensued—many who had not been able to get into the
east-room during the speech-making finding their way in
at the front door as the crowd filed out through the main
hall, and thus improving the occasion to pay their respects
1:o their President.
