Amnesty Proclamation,
By the President of the United States PROCLAIM alton
Whereas, In the month of July, Ammo Domin 1861
in accepting the condition of civil war, which was
brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several
Of the States which constitutes the United States the
two Houses of Congress did solemny declare that the
was not waged on the part of the Government in
any spirit of oppression, no for any purpose of con-
quest of subjugation, for any purpose of over
A. Oh
institutions of the States but only to defend and
maintain the supremacy Of the Constitution of the
United States and to preserve the Union, with all the
dignity, equality and rights of the several States u1l
impaired, and that these objects should be
accomplished the the part of the Government
should cease; and
Whereas, The President of the United States has
heretofore in the spirit of that declaration and with
the view of securing for it ultimate and complete eff
feet, set forth several proclamatons offering amnesty
and pardon persens who had been concerned
in the aforesaid rebellion, which procamatons how
ever attended with prudential reservations and
exceptions then deemed necessary and proper and
which procamatons were respectively issued on the
Sth day of December 1868, the 26th day of March
1864, ON the 29th day or May 1865, and on the 7th
day of September 1867; and
Whereas, The said, the lamentable civil war has
long since altogether ceased with an acknowledgment
by all the States of the supremacy Of the Federal Con-
longer exists any reasonable ground to apprehend
renewal of the said civil war or any foreign inter-
ference or any unlawful resistance by any portion of
the people of any of the States to the Constitution
and laws of the United States; and
Whereas, 1t is desirable to reduce the standing
my and to bring to speedy termination military
cupation, martial law military tribunals, encroach-
ments on freedom Of speech and of the press, and
The suspension of the privilege of habeas corpus and
the right of trial by jury, such encroachments upon
our free institutions in times of peace being danger
Gus to public liberty, Incompatible with the individual
rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit
of our republican form of government, and exhaustive
Of the national resources; and,
Whereas, 1t is believed that amnesty and pardon
will tend to secure complete and universal establish
nent and prevalence of municipal law and order in
with the Constitution OF the United States,
md all approaches or presumptlons OF re-
aliatory or vndictive policy the part of the Gov
,rnment attended by unnecessary disquallhcatiens,
pains and penalties, confscatons and disfranchise-
nents and on the contrary, to promote and procure
complete fraternal reconstruction among the whole
people, with due submission to the Constitution and
avs:
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew John
ION, President of the United States do, by virtue of
he Constitution, and in the of the people of the
United States, hereby proclaim and declare, uncond-
ionay and without reservation to all and to every
person who directly indirectly, participated in the
ate nsurrecon rebellion excepting such person
,r persons may be under presentment or indict-
nent in any court of the United States having compe
ent jurisdiction upon charge of treason or other
ebony, full pardon and amnesty for offenses of trea
against the United States, of adhering to their
enemies during the late civil war, with restoration of
III rights of property except as to slaves and except
any property of which any person may have been
egally dvested under the laws of the United States
In testimony whereof have signed these presents
With my hand have caused the seal Of the United States
o be hereunto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington the fourth day of
Tuy in the year of our Lord one thousand eihgt hun
lred and sxty-eight and of the independence of the
United States of America the ninety y-thrd.
