INAUGURAL ADDRESS
ESQ t-oF-- ti,0zT8
Gov. Jacob D. Cox,
DELIVERED BEFORE TIE
Ohio Senate and House Of Repre-
.e7' seniativcs, Jan. 8, 1866.

We arc entering upon new epoch
in our history, The period ofstruggle
for,national existence is ended and we
have celebrated our thanksgiving to
God for deliverance. The war admin
istrations Of both Nation and State
have gone by, and we have begun an
era of peace with It's new duties and
new responsibilities. We have proven
that our Government is strong enough
to resist the IA st formidable efforts to
destroy it by force, and we are now to
show that it has such vitality that it
can assimilate the different elements
comprised under its rule, and harmon
ize the antagonisms necessarily re.
naming after so fierce strife.
For years all our energies and our
resources have been devoted to the
simple duty otsubduing great re-,
bclIion and what was demanded of us
was un4aunted courage and obstinate
determination, concentrating. our will
and our power upon the siugle pur,
pose before US, and refusing to be
turned aside for any object till that
was thoroughly accomplished. Now
we have put off the harness of war,
the grand army which saved the re-
public is disbanded; its veterans have
been quietly absorbed into the mass Of
their fellow citizens, and all are now
intently studying the problem of
changing q Union restored by force,
into whose permanence shall be guar
antied by mutual good will and com +.
mon interests, and be based upon uni
versal freedom and genuine republi-
canism. To do this will demand
qualities .of head and heart quite as
high as any that have been called in
to exercise hitherto. and If we succeed
in finding tho solution we seek, we
shall prove that the victories OF peace
arc far greater than those of war, On
tho one hand are the dangers of re-
ceiving into full participation in the
Government those who have staked
everything upon its overthrow, and
upon. the other, the obligations we are
under to the whole world to adhere to
those doctrines Of democratic liberty
and equality which lie at the founda-
tion of our system; while our rela.
tions to the unfortunate African race,
wh6se'slavery we have abolished and
whose freedom we are sacredly bound
to protect, come in to complioate both
classes Of difficulties Fr 'it-a IIIW
Congress and the President are now
at work on the details of complete res.
toration Of civil government in the
States lately rebellious, and we, in
common with the whole country, are
watching their progress with the most
EARNEST hope that they may speedily
agree upon. q national policy which
shalt thoroughly accordwith the high
est interests of the whole land. l do
not regard this proper time to dis
cuss specific measures which are before
our federal legislature and authorities,
bat oil our public acts in our State

give them cause TO think their coun. J..
try Is uDgrateiul, we shall double
their misery and be ourselves unfaith.
fol 10 one OF the most solemn duties
which can be imposed upon u.s. More
than eight thousand disabled Ohio sol.
diers are already upon the rolls of the
nationale pension bureau. The pit.
tance which the general Government
can give them will not save them
from want How can we best do the
remainder of our.duty toward them?
A beginning has already been made
in the temporary establishment Of a
State Soldiers Home, but ~ is mani
fest that it will provide for but very
small part of those who have good
claim upon us. if indeed any system
Of congregating the PENSIONERS in per.
maneut asylums can accomplish the
desired end. Ibelieve the people are
ready to do their whole duty in this
matter, and will expect those whom
they have intrusted with the legisla
tive power to provide adequately by
law the best practical system for dis
charging this great debt Of honor
This disposition on their part has been
manifested not only in the noble and
generous private contributions through
societies and commissions, by which
the comfort Of our soldiers in the field
and the efficiency Of our military hos.
pitals were wonderfully increased, but
the same spirit has prompted numer-
GUS local monuments to our dead, and
will, | trust, grow into some perma'
nent memorial on behalf Of the State
at large, in keeping with the dignity
Of our position and With the depth o.
our feeling. .;,.., ...
In these as well as in other ways
the late war has brough! great burdens
upon our State, but its prosperity has
been such that they have been borne
without i'm poverishing our people OIL
restraining the public resources. Our
State debt has been diminished during
this very period Of commotion, anC
such has been the thrift Of the commu
nifty and the success Of business enter
prise, that we see on every hand tbs
evidences of accumulatiug wealth.
Ohio, "the first born of the ordinance
of 1851" has been true to the princi
| plies OF that great act craftsmanship
which dedicated the northwestern
territory TO freedom and free labor
and now more than ever before is re-
alizing The benefits OF the wisdom
which then launched her upon o ca.
reer of unexampled growth under tho
auspices of religion, intelligence and
freedom. r..
A different policy; based upon :
false and unjust system Of labor, has
brought forth its maturcd fruit Of re
bclion, followed by desolation and
ruin. God grant that the lesson sc
sternly taught by experience may be
wisely learned by all, and that the re.
turn to the right path may everywhere
speedily result in such abounding hap.
piness and well-being that past strifes
and sufferings may be forgotten in
the universal joy! rs. .-.... ...
