PRESIDENT JOHNSON ON RECONSTRUC
TION.
On Friday, the 28th ult., Gov. Aforlon, of In
diana, with a delegation from that state, waited
on President Johnson, and addressed him on the
state of the country. Gov. J/orton, among other
things, dwelt, upon the question of adjustment, iu
which he condemned the doctrine of secession,
suggested that the rebels were personally liable
for their treason, and that there was no power to
punish them collectively by reducing a state to a
territorial condition, or declaring its municipal
character forfeited. He declared that the state
governments could not be destroyed by the acts
of individuals, whether they were officers of that
goveinment or private citizens The^e declara
tions seem to have incited President Johnson to a
more complete enunciation of his views upon this
matter (han has yet been made by him. He de
clared his intention to punish treason in the same
decided manner as heretofore. Upon the ques
tion of reconstruction, and how it was to be ef
fected, lie used the following significant lan-
. guage:—
Upon this idea" of destroying states, my posin
tionjhas been heretofore well known, and I see no
cause to change it now, and I am glad to hear its
-reiteration on the present occasion. Some are
satisfied with the idea that the states are to be
lost in territories and other divisions; are to
lose their character as states. But their life
breath has been only suspended, and it is a high
constitutional obligation we have to secure each
of these states in the possession and enjoyment of
a republican form of government. A state may
be in the goveinment with a peculiar institution,
and by the operation of rebellion lose that feature;
but it was a state when it wentinta rebellion, and
when it comes out without the institution, it is
still a state.
I hold it as a solemn obligation in any one of
these States where the r^bel armies have been
beaten back or expelled, I care not how small the
number of uuioti men, if enough to man the ship
of state—I hold it, I say, a high duty to protect
and secure to them a republican form of govern
ment. This is no new opinion. It is expressed
in conformity with my understanding of the
genius aud theory of our government. Then iu
adjusting and putting the government upon its
legs again, I think the progress ofthis work must
pass into the hands of its friends. If a state is to
be nursed until it again gets strength, it must be
nursed by its friends, not smothered by its ene
mies.
Tke North Carolina Secretary of State Delin»
Ing his Position.
[Brom the Raleigh Progress, April 26. ]
"Raleigh, N. C., April 21.
Mr. Editor : In your issue of day before yes
terday you wrote as follows: “In speaking of
the flighty Governor Vance, we do not wish
to be understood as censuring all state officers,
&c. The gentlemen we have named (Surgeon
General Warren; C. R. Thomas, secretary of
state; C. II. Brogden, comptroller; and Mr.
Worth treasurer,) we believe to be true, and we
hope that they will make our predictions good
by immediately assuming a bold and decided
stand in favor of the Union. I do not think
that those who have known me well since the
beginning of the agitation of secession in North
Carolina, have doubted where or how I stood
politically. I have never been a secessionist.
I hive been a conservative, by whatever other
party name we may have been designated.—
But, sir, it is not. my purpose to attempt my
own political vindication now, and under sur
rounding circumstances I have no motive for
doing so. It is - a mortifying reflection with
conservative men to-day that some of us have
acted, not only inconsistently, but against our
Judgment and convictions of right during the
revolution. To every secessionist I would say :
“Go and sia no more.” To every conservative
I would say, 4 come, let us do better.” A great
work is before us, at the close of this revolution.
Domestic Savery ought to be, must be abolish
ed at once and forever in North Carolina ; and
• when this shall have been done, reconciliation
will be quick and general, if not universal.—
The abolition of slavery is a condition precedent
to the settlement ol our national difficulties up
on apy satisfactory and permanent basis. You
and I, Mr. Editor, must take “a bold and deci
ded stand in favor of” performing this condi
tion. I do not wish to discuss the matter, but
I am decidedly “ in favor of the Union,” and
the re-establishing of the relations of North
Carolina, freed from human slavery, with the
federal government in the speediest way con
formable with the Constitution and compatible
with the dignity and character of the state.
C; R. Thomas.
DIED.
In this town, on the 10th inst.. PIERRE, infant
son of F. M. and J. Agostini, aged 7 months and 15
days.
On the afternoon of May 9, Mrs. E. E. GEORGE,
of Ft. Wayne, Ind., in the 54th year of her age.
For the past three years she has labored with un
tiring zeal both upon the field of bat'le and in the
hospitals to ameliorate the sufferings of our sick and
wounded soldiers. Upon the arrival of our paroled
prisoners at this place she was assigned to duty at
Camp Graham and Jackson Hospital; Here she coni
tracted typhoid fever, from which she had so far*re-
eovered as to be able to walk about and ride out as
she had frequently done, and it was while the writer
of this article was at the office of Capt. Lamb obtain
ing transportation for her to go North, that she
died instantaneously.
