Strana 16 - I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that "while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retract or modify the Emancipation Proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the acts of Congress.
Strana 4 - Think nothing of me; take no thought for the political fate of any man whomsoever, but come back to the truths that are in the Declaration of Independence.

Strana 4 - Now, my countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines conflicting with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence; if you have listened to suggestions which would take away from its grandeur and...

Strana 6 - City Council regards the murderous and desperate attack upon the Secretary of State with abhorrence and indignation, and rejoices in the assurance that the assassin's blows failed of their deadly purpose. Resolved, That the present occasion suggests the further duty of acknowledging the lawful authority of ANDREW JOHNSON, now President of the United States, and of recognizing the loyal purpose, the patriotic fidelity, the firm character and the eminent services which he has contributed to the public...
