THE PRESIDENTS ToAsT.-At banquet in Wash
ngton the Sth of jan lary, President johnson said
in reply to complimentary toast:
'In response to the alluson just made, have no
remark make, other than to repeat the sentiment,
to which utteranee given this night one year
ago. That is No State, of its will, has right
under the Constitution to its place to
withdraw from, the Union; has the Congress of
the United States, under the Constitution the power
to exclude degrade any State, by reducing them
to mere territorial dependency under the Federal
head. The is disruption and dissolution of
the Government. The other is consolidation and the
exercise of despotic power The advocates of either
alike the enemies of the Federal Union and of
our Republican form of government. Great ap-
plause.
