For the first tine after SIX long years Of
alienation and ofconfict, we have come
together from eyry State and ever section
OF our llnd, as ciiEens of a common coun-
try, under that lag, the symbol gain of a
common glory. y consult together how
best to cement anl perpetuatc that Union
which IS again tic object Of our common
love, and thus secure the blessings of lib
crty to ourselves aad our posterity.

remember, alwa2 and everywhere, tha;
the war is endedani the nation is again at
peace. The sh,ck Of con;ending arms 10
longer assails tic shudderins lie ri Of the
Republic. The instruction asaihs, the
supreme authority Of the nation he's been
suppressed and that authority has been
again acknowledged. BY word and act, in
every State and By every citizen within It's
jurisdiction. We are no longer required
or permitted to regard or treat each other
as enemies Not only have the acts Of war
been discontinued and the weapons of war
laid aside, but the state of war no longer
exists, and the sentiments. the passions
the relations of war have no longer lawful

country, bound by tl4c duties and obliga

neither rights nor interests apart from a

SOLE OBJECT OF TIE CONTEST.

In every message and proclamation Of
the Executive it was explicitly declared
that the sole object and purpose of the war
was to maintain the authority Of the Con-
stitution and to preserve the integrity of
the Union and Congress more than once
reiterated this solemn declara ion. and ad
ted the assurance that whenever the object
should be attained the war should cease.
and all the States should retain their equal
rights and dignity unimpared.
1t is only since the war was closed that
other rights have been asserted on behalf
Of one department. of the General Govern
mCnt.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1866-08-30

press The suppression Of that iusurrec~
tion accomplished that result. The Gov
erument Of the United States maintained,
by force of arms, the supreme authority
over all the territory, and over all the
States and people within its jurisdiction,
which the Constitution cOnfers upon it (;
but it acquired thereby no new power, no
enlarged Jurisdiction, no rights either OF
territorial possessions or Of civil authority
which it did not possess before the rebel
lion broke out. All the rightful power it
can ever possess is that which is conferred
upon it, either in express terms, or by fair
and necessary implication. by the Consti>
tuition of the United States Il was that
power and that authority which the rebel
lion sought to overthrow, and the victory
of the Federal arms was simply the defeat
of that attempt. The Government of the
United States acted throughout the war
on the defensive 1t sought only to hold
possession Of what was already its own
Neither the war nor the victory by which
it was closed, changed in any way the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States. The war

and under the limitations which they pre-

either enlarge, abridge, or in any way

The Constitution of the United States is
today precisely as it was before the war,
the supreme law of the land, any thing in
the Constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary notwitstanding;" and to-day.
also, precisely as before the war, "all the
powers not conferred by the Constitution
upon the General Government, nor prohb-
tied by it to the States, are reserved to the
several States, or to the people thereof
The position is vindcated not only by
the essential nature Of our Government,
and the language and spirit of the Consti-
tuition, but By ali the acts and the language
of our Government in all its departments,
and at all times from the outbreak Of the
rebellion to its final overthrow.

THE LATE WAR.


Since the meeting Of the last National
Convention. in the year 1860. events have
occurred which have changed the charac-
er of our internal politics, and given the
United States new place among the ma
tons Of the earth Our Government has
passed through the vicissitudes and the
gerils Of civil war-a war which, though
nainly sectional in its character, has new
atheless, decided political differences that
fem the very beginning of the Governs
nent had threatened the unity of our na>
tDnal existence, and has left its impress
deep and iDefIaceable upon all the interests,
tie sentiments. and the destiny of the re-
public While it has inflicted upon the
whole country severe losses in life and in
property. and has imposed burdens which
must weigh on is resources for generations
to come. it has developed degree or ma
tional courage il the presence of national
dangers-a capadty for military organiza>
ton and achievement, and devotion on
the part OF the p.ople to the form of gov
ernment which tley have ordained, and to
the principles Of liberty which that governs
ment was designed to promote, which must
confirm the cohf,eucc Of the nation in the
perpetuity of its republican institutions,
and command tborespcct Of the civilized
worid.
Like ali great pntests which rouse The
passions and test .he indurance of nations
this war has eivei new scope to the ambi-
tiou Of political prties. and fresh impulse
to plans Of innovation and reform Amidst
the chaos Of conflicting sentimens insepa-
rable from such "A era. while the public
heart is keenly alive to all TIE passions that
can sway the pubic judgment and affect
the public action while the wounds of war
are still fresh andbleeding on either side,
and fears for thefuturc take Just proper
tions from the memories and rescntments
of the past, it is adifiicult but an impera-
tive duty which, N your behalf. We. who
are here assembled, have undertaken to
perform.

again duties Of peace and no longer the
duties of war We have assembled here
20 take counsel concerning the interests of
peace-to decide how we may most wisely
and efiectually heal the wounds the war
has made, and perfect and perpetrate the
benefits 1T has secured, and the blessings
which, under benign Providence. have
sprung up in its fiery track. This is She
work, not o! passion, but Of calm and sober
judgment; not OF resentment for past Of
fcnscs prolonged beyond the limits which
justice and reason prescribe, but of liber
al craftsmanship, which toleratcs what it
can not prevent, and builds its plans and
