"Now listen for a moment TO one who
understands Andrew johnson better than
most of you, for his opportunities have been
greater. When nearly two years sgo he
called me from the pursuits OF my protes.
sional life to take seat in his Cabinet, and
/ assumed the call under sense of public
duty, came here almost stranger to him
and TO every member of the Cabinet except
Mr.. Stanton. We had been friends for many
years.
Senators: Need tell you that all my
tendencies are conservative? You, Mr..
Chief Justice, who have known me for
Law, not arms, is my profession. Frem the

the Cabinet of Mr.. johnson not step was

attention. regarded him closely in Cabinet,

more than once around him with the most

the Constitution and the laws. He stood

abuse his own powers, or to exercise those

Steadfast and self-reliant in the midst OF all

to the Constitution of his country and to

men have been called upon to meet. Nc
man could have met them with more sub

knew the explosion must come, and whe1
it did come my only wonder was that 1t haC

all his faults the President has been lor'

country is as safe in his hands from violence
as it was in the hands of Washington.
