WAsHISGToS, April lS.-The President to-
night addressed dense assemblage of soldiers,
sailors, and others, who complimented him
with serenade. He said that he cared not
for his slanderers, whom he characterized as
the 90 foul whelps of sin" The rebellion had
been put down. Did We" he asked, "shed
so much blood and make so many sacrifices for
the purpose of destroying the States. No, 1t
was to preserve the States under the Constitu-
ton, and in the Union of the States" He re-
peated, " We tOiled not to break down the
Union, but TO preserve it. In time of war
we have the right 10 strike and cripple, and
reduce TO subsection, but in time of peace
the converse course is the right one,
and we must rebuild the cities, restore the
villages renew agriculture, and encourage all
the arts and industrial pursuits. The soldiers,
from the private to the commanding general,
knows better what should be done than the
closet politicians and the humanitarian. Let
us he said make every effort TO restore the
relations which heretofore existed between
the Federal Government and all the States
There was now no enemy against our Govern
ment. Denying the right of a State 10 secede,
he now, as heretofore, took his stand both
against secession and consolidation, and in
tended to maintain his policy.
He was frequently interrupted by applause,
which showed that the soldiers and sailors
present heartily endorsed his remarks.
