and whereas, by another proclamation

pursuance of an act of Congress, ap-
proved June the nth of the sameyear the
insurrection was declared still to be ex-
isting in the States aforesaid, with the
exception of certain specified countie:
in the State of Virginia and whereas
by another proclamation, made on the
% day Of April, 1868, in pursuance of an
act Of Congress of July Is, 1861, the
exceptions named in the proclamation
of August Is, 1861, were revoked,
and the inhabitants Of the States

Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida and
Virginia, except the forty-eight counties
Of Virginia designated as West Virginia,
and the ports Of New Orleans, Key West,
Port Royal and Beaufort, s.. c., were de-
clared to be in a state of instruction
against the United States; and whereas,
the House of Representatives, OF the 22d
Of July, 1851, adopted resolutions in the
following words, viz: Resolved, by the
House Of Representatives Of the Congress
Of the United States. that the present
depiorable war has been forced upon the
country by the ~disgaionists OF the South
ern States, now in rebellion against the
constitutional government and in arms
around the capital, and that in this
national emergency Congress, Vanishing
all feelings Of resentment, will do only
its duty to the whole country and that
this war is not waged on part in any
spirit-of oppression, nor for any purpose
of conquest or subjugatiOu, nor for the
purpose Of oveTthrOWing or interfering
with any of the established institutions
of those States, but to maintain and de-
fend the supremacy Of the Constitution
and preserve the Union, with al the
dignity, equality and rightsof theseveral
| States unimpaired and as these objects
are accomplished the wal ought 10 cease ;
and whereas, these resolutions, though
not joint or concurrent, form n SUBJ
stantially, and may be regarded es hSv-
ing expressed the views Of Congress upon
the subject 10 which they relate, and
whereas, by my proclamation Of the
18th Of June last, the instruction
in the state of Tennessee was de-
clared to have been suppressed, and the
authority Of the United States therein TO
be undisputed, ard such United States
OIHcets as Lad been commissioned to be
in the uudisputed exercise of their fune-
I ions; and, whereas, there now exists 40
organized armed resistance or misguided
! citizens, nor others, TO the authority of
the United States, in the States of Geor-
gia, South Carolina, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas and
Florida, and the laws can be sustained
and enforced therein by the proper civil
authorities, State or Federal, and the
people of the said States are well
and loyalty disposed, and have con-
formed or viii conform, through
their Legislatures, t0-the condition Of
affairs growing out of the amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
prohibiting slavery within the limits and
jurisdiction of the United States and,
whereas, in view of the before reeited
premises, it is the manifest determine
ton Of the American people that no State
has, BY It's W viii, the right or power
to 90 out or separate itself, 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 the before mentioned States have, in.
the manner aforesaid, been constantly
giving satisfactory evidence that they
acquiesce in this important resolution Of
the National Union and, whereas, it is
believed to be the fundamental princi-
pie Of the Government that the people
who have revOlted, and who have been
overcome and subdQed, must be dealt
with SC as 10 induce them virtually to
become friends, or else they must be
held by absolute military force, so as to
prevent them from ever again doing any
harm as enemies, which last named poi-
icy was abhOrrent TO humanity and free
dom; and whereas, the Constitution of
the United States provides for Constitu-
tional Commonwealth only as States,
and not Territories, aq3 provides protec-
~t0rates; and whereas, such constitutional
States must necessarily be governed by
the Constitution and laws of the Uuited
States, are made equals and placed on
Ike footing as TO political rights, immu-
mites, dignity and favor with the several
States with which they are united and
whereas, the Observance of political
equality, - a principle of right and jus
tiee, Is well calculated to encourage the
people Of the States to be and become more
and more ~peTsevering in their renewed
allegiance and whereas, standing mill
taTy occupation, martial law, military
tribunals, the suspension Of the privileges
Of the writ Of VGbedS cCTp2ss, are in time
of peace dangerous 20 the public interest
ana incompatible with the individual
rights OF the citizen, and contrary to the
genius and spirit Of free institutions, and
exhaustive OF the national resources, and
ought not therefore to be sactioned or al
lowed, except in case of war, for repelling
Invasion, Or sappressing instruction or
rebellion; and whereas, the policy of
the Government Of the United States
from the beginning of the in
sqrreotion to its final suppress
sion has been in conformity with the
principles herein set forth and enuIne-
rated.
Therefore, ], Andrew johnson, Pres
ident Of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the insurrec-
ton which heretofore existed in the
States Of Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Z
Mississippi, Texas and Florida Is at an
