From the proclamation:
And whereas, the President of the United States, by further proclamation issued on the second day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, did promulgate and declare, that there no longer existed any armed resistance of misguided citizens, or others, to the authority of the United States in any, or in all the States before mentioned, excepting only the State of Texas, and did further promulgate and declare that the laws could be sustained and enforced in the several States before mentioned, except Texas, by the proper civil authorities, State, or Federal, and that the people of the said States, except Texas, are well and loyally disposed, and have conformed or will conform in their legislation to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States;...And whereas, subsequently to the said second day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, the insurrection in the State of Texas has been completely and everywhere suppressed and ended, and the authority of the United States has been successfully and completely established in the said State of Texas, and now remains therein unresisted and undisputed, and such of the proper United States officers as have been duly commissioned within the limits of the said State, are now in undisturbed exercise of their official functions;
...Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that the insurrection which heretofore existed in the State of Texas is at an end, and is to be henceforth so regarded in that State, as in the other States before named, in which the said insurrection was proclaimed to be at an end, by the aforesaid proclamation of the second day of April, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.
...Done at the city of Washington this twentieth day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the ninety-first.
[signed ANDREW JOHNSON]

It doesn't match what is on the mountain.
Curious claim, plant boy, seeing as this alleged statement of Brown does not appear in the vicinity of the said discussion from the Congressional Globe. Either it is somewhere else (unlikely) or you made it up entirely, as seems to be your pattern around here. You know, making up pseudonyms, making up facts...
After all, Spooner advocated not only that the US constitution was legally invalid, but that the same legally invalid document gave the Federal Government the right to march into a slave state and seize billions of dollars of private property from it's owners.
Wrong and wrong. Spooner's argument against the legal validity of the constitution came AFTER the civil war and essentially stated that the events of the civil war had voided a previously working contract of government.
Small wonder your boy Spooner is so overwhelmingly attractive to Marxists
Huh? Spooner is generally considered to be one of the most libertarian philosophers to have ever lived. He is regularly ranked to the RIGHT of Hayek and even Rothbard. One cannot physically get any further away from marxism than that. In the meantime, I'll also note that Karl Marx himself was one of Europe's most vocal champions of the Abe Lincoln cause from 1861-65. Of course you probably know that already, considering your familiarity with marxism that led you to post marxist link and doctrines under your earlier pseudonyms Titus Fikus and LLAN-DDEUSSANT. You know - the same websites and passages that got you banned from FR previously.
"I suppose you will want your Massachusetts troops sent.""Oh," said I, "not Massachusetts men to shoot down New Yorkers; that won't do."
Thou shalt not secede. Secessionists will burn in hell.

What's your idea of "authoritativeness", dude? What winds your watch for you?
HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSOURISaint Louis,.Mo., May 23, 1865.
Lieut. Gen. U. S. GRANT,
General-in- Chief:Excerpt:
This question is now directly and barely presented. Either the extermination of the Indian tribes by force or some policy of supporting them by the General Government at places, where, deprived of arms and of the power to do injury or indulge their wandering habits, they can be subsisted and protected and subjected, under the most favorable circumstances, to all the influences of education and Christianity.
JNO. POPE,
Major-General, Commanding.
Which explains why all the big slaveowners voted for John Bell and the Constitutional Union Party in 1860.
But then you knew that, right? You knew about the Southern Unionists and how they carried Texas and Virginia by wide margins, right -- and why? You wouldn't post in ignorance or anything, would you? As in, open mouth, insert foot?
And you sneer at other people.
See the last few grafs of nolu chan's pinged post.
Some things never change -- this guy could have been taking policy tips from Alan Greenspan.
Thanks to rustbucket for the correction. And me with a copy of Fehrenbach on my shelf.
Looks like coins in F-VF condition are pretty reasonable about $10-20.
And I see it's a half-dollar, which was a pretty good pallette on which to work. I really admire the coin designs of the early part of this century.
Butler: "I then issued my General Order No 1, in which I made it plain that there were several thousand secessionists in New York. They were there in such numbers as to impede the Union men getting lodgings and boarding-house accommodations, the landlords saying that they could let all the room they had to Southerners at their own prices. I took care that the Southerners should understand that means would be taken for their identification, and that whoever of them should vote would be dealt with in such a manner as to make them uncomfortable. That was sufficient, and substantially no Southerners [secessionists] voted at the polls on election day."
Well gee, that was fair. </sarcasm>
He was talking code, and meaning McClellan supporters.
Real Southerners would have to bathe for a week, to wash participation in a New York election off of them.
