A question has been raised whether the States lately la rebellion, and not yet re stored to their privileges by Congress are to bo counted on this vote—in other words, whether those who have rebelled ana been subdued shall be entitled to a poten tial voice In the question of the guaran tees to be required of them for future obe dience to the laws. So monstrous a prop osition is, It appears to me, not supported by the words orspirltof the Constitution. The power to suppress Insurrection includes the power of making provis ion against its breaking out afresh. These States have made an unjust war upon our common Qovernment and their sister States, and the power given by the Constitution to make war on our part In cludes the power to dictate, after our suc cess, the terms of peace and restoration. The power of Congress to guarantee to every State a republican form of govern ment would cover much more cogent no tion than has yet been hod.. The duty imposed upon Congress, to provide and maintain republican govern ments for the States is to be accepted in the broadest meaning of the term. It is not a mere formal or unnecessary provis ion. The power was conferred, and the duty enjoined, to preserve free Institu tions against all encroachments, or the more violent elementn of despotism and anarchy. And now that treason has, by rebellion, subverted the governments of a number of States, forfeiting for the peo ple all the rights guaranteed by the Con stitution, including even those of proper ty and life, the work of restoration for these States rests with the National Gov ernment, and it should be faithfully and fearlessly performed. By their passage by Congress, and the declaration of the people at the late elec tions, the faith of the nation is pledged to the amendments, and they will be fairly carried out and their benefits given to the rebellious States. But when the amend ments shall have passed into the organic law, should the people lately in rebellion Seraiatln their rejection, and in continued isobcdience and the obstruction of the execution of the national laws, it will be an admonition to the nation that the an imus and force of treason still exist among a people who enjoy none of the privileges of the Government, save its generous tol erance. With their oejectlon all hope of reconstruction, with the co-operation of the rebellious States, on a basis that would secure to the Republic the logical results of the war, will have vanished, and the duty must then devolve upon the Gov ernment of adopting the most effectual method to secure for those States the character of governments demanded by tjie Constitution.
