Of those who gave expression thereto.
The result is regarded as d most c~ritica.

iY less than when an avOWed and organized

and 10 attack and attempt 90 cause a dis

mis- policy for the construction OF the
Union. The President made a brief reply,
referring 10 and reiteratIng his previous
declsrauou in regard TO reconstruction,
and said he had duly to thank them for
the encouragement gwen by the resolutions.
He hoped his future acts would show inst
his confidence has not been misplaced ana
that the passers of the resolutions are
not mistaken in the approval they
speak Of. He said: it is not necessary for me
TO state the principles l lave adopted for
my guidance. They are understood, and
there can be no mistake as TO the position
/ occupy. Persons who act upon principle,
and understand the principles they occupy,
cannot disagree, and must act together, and
whatever lheir standing point in acting
upon such principles, they, however iuvo.
unfairly, sometimes viii approach each
other, and they converse Of tins proposition
Is also true, that whenever they disagree
upon principles, they converse. This pro-
position Is also true, that wherever they
disagree upon principles, they commence a
divergent course. The most gratifying
thought to me is that / have acted upon
principle ever since my earliest advance
into public life. There has always been
with me some fundamental idea regarding
the nature of this union, AID have never
departed from il.
IL is also gratifying to mt,Efter the ordeal
through which we have passed, that though
the chaotic sta.e of the public mind, this |
idea still lived, and that these principles
are agaiu e-uuucIate0; that there Is still. an
apprehension of them around and about
which there seems arise disqualification and
formation of views that Will, ia future, sus-
the country and The principles On
10 live.
