Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Col. James G. Berret: Democratic Presidential Elector for the Second Congressional District of Maryland, Delivered Before the Cleveland and Thurman and Stump Campaign Club, at Freedom, Carroll County, MD., August 18, 1888 Mr. President and Gentlemen: The occasion which brings us together, as Democrats and members of the Cleveland and Thurman And Stump Campaign Club of Freedom, is one of much interest to myself, as affording a fitting opportunity for me to express the great pleasure which I find at meeting some of the associates of my boyhoods days. But, alas, few of them are left to continue the great battle of life, while their descendants for two generations are now present to represent worthy sires, who, in days long since passed, struggled with true manhood for political supremacy in the State as well as in the Federal Government. After a lapse of more than fifty years, since it was my good fortune to engage actively in politics as a representative in part of the Democratic party of this county, on the Delegate ticket for the Legislature, it is with no ordinary emotion that I again appear before you as the Presidential Elector for the Second Congressional District, which will assuredly afford me the honor of casting, with my colleagues, the vote of Maryland for Grover Cleveland and Allen G.Thurman for President and Vice President of the United States.

Download or read book The Papers of Andrew Johnson written by Andrew Johnson and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1967 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume encompasses the last six months of Andrew Johnson's presidency (September 1868-February 1869) and March and April of 1869. During this time Johnson moved from being a considerably diminished president to becoming an ex-president. But by April he sought to rejuvenate his political career by undertaking a speaking tour across Tennessee. Despite being a "president in limbo" in the last months of his term, Johnson remained surprisingly active. Requests and nominations for presidential patronage did not slow down, but Johnson enjoyed only limited success in securing Senate confirmation of his appointments. Yet the patronage game continued to be played right up to the end of his term. Although Horace Greeley feared Johnson might "do something to make us all d----d mad before November," the President's involvement in the presidential campaign was limited to a plea with Horatio Seymour to become an active campaigner. But even a more engaged Democratic candidate could not have thwarted the Republican ticket headed by General Grant. One holdover problem from the summer months was the whiskey frauds investigation in New York City. It continued through the end of 1868 with various twists and turns. The Johnson administration had to defend its own investigators, who seemed as unscrupulous as those they investigated. The ultimate purpose of the inquiry was to replace Internal Revenue Commissioner Edward Rollins, but Rollins remained in office. In late 1868 several Southern states sent reports about unusual outbreaks of violence to Washington. A Tennessee delegation testified about Ku Klux Klan activities and requested federal troops to counteract them. North Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas presented similar accounts to Johnson. But the President was unable to take any real action. In December, Johnson submitted his fourth and final Annual Message to Congress. Not surprisingly, he attacked the various Reconstruction acts. Yet he also focused on the national debt and urged a scheme that would enable bondholders to be paid off in less than seventeen years. Republican leaders in Congress, however, strongly opposed this proposal. That same month the president also issued his fourth and final Amnesty Proclamation. Its terms embraced everyone who had not already been accommodated by earlier proclamations. The Senate demanded an explanation from Johnson, who soon forwarded a defense of the new proclamation. The President left office on March 4, but not before delivering a "Farewell Address." He said that he had no regrets about his administration, a view not shared by most political leaders. Johnson spent two more weeks in Washington before returning home to Tennessee. Shortly after arriving in Greeneville he decided to rehabilitate his political standing. After all, friends had already encouraged him to run for governor or possibly a U.S. Senate seat. Only a brief, but serious, illness delayed his plans. In April, Johnson hit the campaign trail, making major speeches in Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis. After a foray into north Alabama, Johnson was stunned by the tragic news of the suicide of his son Robert. He returned to Greeneville to grieve but also to contemplate his future political career. He would move forward in search of vindication at the hands of the voters. The Editor: Paul H. Bergeron is professor of history at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Excerpts from Volume 15 "The mass of the people should be aroused and warned against the encroachments of despotic power now ready to enter the very gates of the citadel of liberty." --To Horatio Seymour, Oct. 22, 1868 "They [Reconstruction acts] can be productive of no permanent benefit to the country, and should not be permitted to stand as so many monuments of the deficient wisdom which has characterized our recent legislation." --Fourth Annual Message, Dec. 9, 1868 "I think there ought to be a professor in every college in the land to teach its pupils a correct understanding and appreciation of the principles of the constitution, and to hold it next in reverence and importance to the Bible, for it is as much the groundwork of our government as the other is the foundation of our holy religion." --Speech to Georgetown College Cadets, Feb. 1, 1869 "Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests at least equally important and equally deserving the consideration of Congress." --Veto of the Copper Bill, Feb. 22, 1869 "Calmly reviewing my administration of the Government, I feel that, with a sense of accountability to God, having conscientiously endeavored to discharge my whole duty, I have nothing to regret." --Farewell Address, Mar. 4, 1869 "If the North and the South understood each other better there would be nothing in the way of our being united, prosperous and happy. That is the greatest desire I have--to see the people of all sections of our country living in harmony and peace." --Interview with Cincinnati Commercial Correspondent, Mar. 22, 1869 "Let us rally around the Constitution of our country; let us hold to it as the ark of our country, as the palladium of our civil and religious liberty; let us cling to it as the warrior clings to the last plank between him and the waves of destruction." --Speech in Nashville, Apr. 7, 1869
