by the General Government, the author
of the act of emancipation. That it
was wise, just and providential act,
fraught with good for all concerned, is
now generally conceded throughout the
country. That moral obligation rests
lpon the National Government to en-
plov its constitutional power and infiu-
ence to establish the rights of the peo-
pie it has emancipated, and to protect
them in the enjoyment of their rights
when they are infringed or assailed, is
also generally admitted.
HONEST LOCAL sELFGovERNMENT.
The evils which afilict the Southern
States can only be removed or RENE
died bv the united and harmonious eff
forts of both races, actuated by mo-
tives of mutual sympathy and regard,
and while in duty bound and fully de-
termined to protect the rights of all by
every constitutional means at the dis
posal of my administration, | am sim
cerely anxious to use every Legitimate
influence in favor of honest and efficient
local self-government as the true re-
source of those States for the promo
ton of the contentment and prosperity
of their citizens. In the effort shall
make to accomplish this purpose | ask
the cordial cooperation of all who cher
ish an interest in the welfare of the
country, trusting that party ties and
the prejudice of races will be freely sur
rendered in behalf of the great purpose
to be accomplished In the important
work of restoring the South, it is not
the political situation alone that merits
attention. The material development
of that section Of the country has been
arrested by the social and political revo-
luton through which it has passed, and
now needs and deserves the consider
ate care of the National Government
within the just limits prescribed by the
Constitution. aud wise public economy.
But at the basis of all prosperity, for
that as we'll as for every other part of
the country, lies the improvement of the
intellectual and moral condition of the
people. Universal suffrage should rest
upon universal education. To this end
| liberal and permanent provision should
be made for the support of free schools
bv the State governments, and if need
he, supplemented by legitimate aid from
national authority. Let me assure my
| countrymen of the Southern States that
it is my earnest desire to regard and
promote their truest interests, the in
terest of the white and of the colored
people both, and equally, and to put
forth my best efforts in behalf of civil
policy which will forever wipe out in
our political affairs the color line and
the distinction between North and
South, to the end that we may have
not merely united North, or united
South, but united country.

CIVIL SERVICE.

| ask attention of the public to the
paramount necessity of reform in our
civil service-a reform not merely as to
certain abuses and practices of so-called
official patronage which have come to
have the sanction of usage in the sew
eral departments of our Government,
but change in the system of appoint
ment itself, a reform that shall be thor
ough, radical and complete; a return to
the principles and practices of the found
ers of the Government They neither
expected nor desired from public Off
GERS any partisan service. They meant
that public officers should owe their
whole service to the Government and
to the people They meant that the
officer should be secure in his ten
ure as long as his personal character
remained untarnished and the perform
ance of his duties satisfactory. They
held that appointments to office were
not to be made nor expected merel y as
rewards for party services, nor merely
on the nomination of members of Con-
gress, as being entitled in any respect
to control such appointments. The
fact that both the great political parties
of the country in declaring their prin-
cples prior to the election gave promi-
nent place to the subject of reform
of our civil service, recognizing and
strongly urging its necessity in terms
almost identical in their specific import
with those | have here employed, must
be accepted as a conclusive argument
in behalf of these measures. 1t must
be regarded as the expression of the
united voice and will of the whole coun-
try upon this subject, and both poiti-
cal parties are pledged to give it their
unreserved support The President of
the United States of necessity owes
his election to Office to the suffrage and
