earn that peace and quiet reigp in this sdepart-
nent. Il will be his purpose 10 preserve this
'ondition Of things. As means Of this
Ireat end he regards the maintenance Of the
'iyil authorities in the faithful execution ofthe
avs as the most efficient under existing cir
In war il is indispensable 70 repel force by
orce and overthrow and destroy opposition 10
awful authority. But when insurrectionery
orce has been oyelhrown and peace estab-
ished and the civil authorities are ready and
willing 70 perform their duties, the military
power should cease TO lead and the civil ad.
resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the general announces that the great
principles of American liberty are still the
lawful inheritance Of this people and ever
should be. The right Of trial by jury, the
na0eas corpus, the liberty Of the press, the
freedom Of speech, the natural rights Of per.
served.
Free institutions, while they are essential TO |
the prosperity and happiness Of the people, |
always furnish the strongest inducements to
peace aud order. Crimes and offences com
mitied in this district must be referred 70 the
consideration and Judgment Of the regular
civil tribunals, and those tribunals will be sup
ported in their lawful Jurisdiction. Should
there be violations Of existing laws which are
not inquired into by the civil magistrates. or
should failures in the administration Of justice
BY the courts be complained OF, the case will
be reported 10 these headquarters, when such
orders will be made as may be deemed necas-
sary. While the general thus indicates his
purpose to respect the liberties Of the people,
be wishes all 70 understand that armed IN,
surrection or forcible resistance 10 the law
will be instantly suppressed by arms.

So faithfully did Gen. Hancock fulfill
the promises herein contained that the
Radical politicians left no stone uuturned
to have him removed and finally, harassed
and hampered at every turn, Gen. Han
cock resigned trust which he could no
longer administer in accordance with his
views. His bold aud upright course at
the South not only won him the grateful
affection Of the Southern people, but it
brought him into such prominence before
the national Democracy that in the con-
yention Of 1868 he received l44l votes.
Again in 1876 at the St. Louis convention
he received rs votes. In personal ap.
peaTance Gen. Hancock is q remarkably
hne looking man, over six feet high, oI
splendid physique and weighs nearly 30O
pounds. Personally he is very popular
with oil who come in contact with him and
will undoubtedly excite great enthusiasm
among the Democracy all over the country
