Message ofthe President 20 Congress

Com plimcnt TO General Hancock.
The following message was sent by the Presi.
dent to Congress today
yc'ssisiiSs' = s 10 o,ss,sl & ssps @ efGes g.Sss
nsnaef Of the mn Millssry, DistriCt dated
day Of November, has reached mo through the
regular channels Of the War Depaftment, and
1 herewith communicate II TO Congress, for
such action as may be proper In view Of all the
II will be perceived that General Hancock an.
that he VIII make The Law the rule 81
other civil authorities in the performance o.
their proper duties, and that he will use his MIL
sss ossss to ss
the sacred right OF the trial by jury and the priv
ilege of the writ of habsos corpus shall not be
ther, and in one comprehensive sentence, asserts
that the principle OF American liberty are still
the OF this people, and ever should be-
In his hands to oppress his fellow-man, yolunts-
rily foregoes the chance of crafty ing his selfish
ambition, and devotes himself to the duty OF
building up the liberties and strengthening the
laws OF his country, he presents an example Of
the highest public virtue that human nature is
capable q ptaetieing The strongest e. S,nim n,o o.
and first In the hearts OF his countrymen,n is
founded the great fact that In all his illustrl
SI; career ,s he TiSbts of bs
fellow-citizens. When he surrendered his com
mission to Congress, the President Of that body
spoke his highest praise In saying that ne had
"always regarded the rights Of the civil author
tiles through all dangers and disasters" When
ever power above the law courted his accept
ance, he calmly put the temptation aside. BY
such magnanimous acts OF forbearanee he won
the universal admiration Of mankind, and lett
name which has no rival In the history oil the
world.
lam far from saying that General Hancock Is
the only Officer ofthe American army who Is In
nuenced by the example OF Washington. Doubt
less, Thousands OF them are faithfully devoted to
the pri nciples for which the men Of the Revolu-
tion laid down their lives. But the distinguished
honor belongs to him OF being the frst ofneer
in high command, south Of the Potomac, since
the close Of the civil war, who has given utter
anee to these noble sentiments in the form Of a
military order.
respectfully suggest to Congress that some
public recognition Of General Hancock's pa
rotic conduct s due, ifnot to him, to the friends
'f law and justice throughout the country. OF
'ueh an act as his, at such a time, 1t Is but at
that the dignity should he yindicated and the
'irtue proclaimed, so that its value as an ex-
'mple may not be lost to the nation.
