WASHINGTON, May 2.-Mr. Stan
berry concluded his speech to-day
as follows:
Now, Senator's, listen for a mo.
ment to one who understands An
drew Johnson better than most of
you, for my opportunities have been
greater. When, nearly two years
ago, he called me from the pursuits
of my professional life to take seat
in his cabinet, | answered the call
under sense ofpublic duty. | came
here almost q stranger to him and
to every member of the cabinet,
except Mr.. Stanton-we had been
friends for many years.
Senators, need l tell you that all
my tendencies are conservative ?
You, Mr.. Chief Justice, who have
known me for third of n century,
can bear me witness that law, not
arms, is my profession. From the
moment that l was honorcd with
seat in the cabinet of Johnson, not
step was taken that did not come
under my observation not word
was said that escaped my attention.
l regarded him closely in the cabi-
net, and still more closely in the
private and confidential person. /
saw him often tempted with bad
advice; l knew that evil counselors
were more than once around him
| observed him with the most in
tense anxiety, but never, in word,
nor in deed, or in thought, or in
action, did / discover anything but
loyalty to the constitution and the
laws. He stood firm as rock
against all temptation to abuse his
own powers or to exercise those
which were not conferred upon him.
Steadfast and self.reliant in the
midst of all difficulties when dan
ger threatened, when temptations
were strong he looked only to the
constitution of his country and to
the people. Yes, Senator'S, | have
seen that man tried as few have
been tried I have seen his conf
dence abused 1 have seen him
endure day after day privations
such rs few men have ever been
called upon to meet. No man could
have met them with more sublime
patience. Sooner or later, however,
/ knew that tho explosion must
come, and when it aid come, my
only wonder was that it had been so
long delayed. Yes, Senators, with
all his faults the President has been
more sinncd against than SHINING.
Fear not, then, to acquit him; the
constitution of the country is as
safe in his hands, from violence, as
it was in the hands of Washington
But if, Senators, you condemn him,
if YOU strip him Of the robes of Of
fice, if You degrade him to the ut
most stretch Of your power, mark
the prophecy, the strong arms of
the people will be about him, they
will find a way 10 raise him from
any depth to which you may con
siga him, and we shall live to see
him redeemed. and hear the majes-
tic voice of the people exclaim-
well done faithful servant. yOu shall
haveyour reward But il, Seniors,
