wasuiNGToS. July 3. 1858.
By Che President the United states-A Proclamation;
WHEREAS, In the month Of July, 1861, in
accepting the condition of civil war; which
was brought about by an insCrrection aud
h rebellion IN several Of the States which con
! stItote the United States, the two Houses ol
Congress did solemnly declare that the war
was not Waged on the part of the Govern
ment IN any spirit of oppression, nor for any
4 purpose of OverthFOwing or Interfering with
the rights or established 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 unimpaired, and that as soon as those
/ objects should be accomplished, the war on
! 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 Il the ultimate and complete effect as set
/ forth in the several proclamations, Offering
amnesty and pardon to persons who had
/ been, or were corcerned IN the aforenamed
rebellion, which proelamatops, however,
were attended with prudential reservations
and exceptions then deemed necessary and
proper, and which prociamatioAs were
respectively issued on the Sth day Of De
cember, 1868, on the Goth day of March,
1864, on the 29th day Of May, 1865, and On
the 9TH day of September, 1867;
And whereas, the said lamentable civil
war has long since altogether ceased, with
an Acknowledgement by the States, Of the
supremacy of the Federal Constitution and
OF the Government hereunder, and there no
longer exists any. reason or ground to appre-
hcnd renewal of the said civil war, or any
foreign interference, or any unlawful resist
anee, by any portion of the people Of any of
the States, to the Constitution and laws of
the United States;
And whereas, it is desirable to reduce the
standing army, and to bring to a speedy
termination the military 0ceupatiOn-mar-
tial law, military tribunals, the abridgment
OF the freedom Of speech and Of the press,
the suspension Of the privilege Of habeas
corpus and the right of trial by iury-sueh
enerOachments upon our free institutions in
times Of peace being dangerous to public
| liberty, incompatible with the individual
rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius
and spirit of our republican form of govern
ment, and exhaustion OF the national re-
| sources
And whereas, it is believed that amnesty
and pardon viii tend to secure a complete
and universal establishment and prevalence
of municipal law and order, IN conformity
with the Constitution of the United States,
1 and to remove ALA appearances ndPresump-
tons Of a retaliat0ry or Vindictive policy en-
the part of the Government, attended by un
! necessary disqualifeations, paius, penalties,
confscatiOns and disfranchisements, and on
the contrary, to promote and preserve com
/ plete fraternal reconciliation among the
whole people, with due submission to the
Constitution and laws.
Now, therefore, be it known, that ],
Andrew Johnson, President Of the United
i States, do, by virtue Of the Constitution and
4 in the name of the people Of the Unitcd
States, hereby proclaim and declare, un-
ccnditionally and without reservation, to all
and to every person, who directly or indi-
rectiy participated in the late instruction
or rebellion, (excepting such persons who
! may be under prescntment or indictment IN
any court of the United States having com
petent jurisdiction, upon charge of treason
or other telOny), full pardon and amnesty
for the oHense of treason against the United
4 States, or of adhering to other enemies dur
| ing the late civil war, with restoration OF
all their rights of property, except as to
slaves and except, also, to any property
Of which any person may have been legally
diVested under the laws of the United States
In testimony whereof ] have signed these
presents with my hand, and have caused the
seal Of the United States to be hereuntc
