Tho President to-day sunt tho fob
lowing message to the Senate:
lo the Senate of the Uv.iUd Si,
I have given to the joint resolution
entitled 'A resolution excluding from
tho Electoral College the votes of
Males lately in rebellion which shall
not havo boon roorirn nixed, as care
ful an examination us I havo been able
to bestow upon the subject during thu
few days that havo intervened sinco
tho measure was submitted lor my
action, mis joint resolution is based
upon tho ucsh nipt ion that some
the Stales whose people were lately
in reoeinon are not - saw w -entitled
representation in Congress and parti
cijirtlioiuui Uia.-aWt4on of 4rt.tdcni
and Nice President of the United
Suites, Having heretofore had occa
Minn to give in detail my reasons for
dissenting Irom this view, it is not
necessary at this time to repeat them
It is snlliiicnt to state that I continue
slrong in my conviction thut the acts
of secession hy which a number of the
Males sought to dissolve their eonneo
tion, and in direct violation thereof,
were from tho beginning absolutely
nun aim void, luoiiows, necessarily
that when the rebellion terminated,
the several Slates which had attempt
ed to secede continued to bo States in
the Union, and all that was required
to enable them to resume their rela
tion to the Union was that Ihev should
adopt measures necessary to their
practical restoration as Slates. Such
measures weroudoptcd, and tho legit
imate result was thut these Stales
having conformed to all the require
merits ol the Constitution, resumed
their former relations, and became en
tilled to the exercise ol all the rights
guaranteed to thorn by Us provisions
I he joint resolution under considers
lion, however, seems to assume that
by tho insurrectionary acts of their
respective inhabitants, theso Slates
forfeited their rights as such, and can
neveragain exercise them, except up
on read mission into the Union, on the
terms presented by Congress. If thi
position be correct, it lollows. that
they aro taken out of the Union bv
virtue of their acts of secession, and
henco that the war waged upim them
was illegal and unconstitutional. We
would thus bo placed in tho inconsis
tent altitude that while tho war was
commenced and carried on on tho dis
tinct grounj that the Southern Slates,
being component arts of tin Union,
were in rebellion against the lawful
authority of the United Stales, upon
its termination we resort to a policy
Of oooriwtruilion wbioh AsuntM Ik.l
il was in fact a rebellion, but that tho
war was waged tor the conquost ol
territories assumed to be out of tho
constitutional Union. The modo and
manner of receiving and counting tho
electoral voles for ('resident and Vice
President of tho United Slates are in
plain and simple terms proscribed by
tho Constitution, thut tho President
of tho Senule shall, in the presence of
the Senule and House ol KepresontH
tives, open all tho certificates, and the
votes ahull then bo counted. Con
gress has therefore no power under
tho Constitution to revise the elocto.
ral voles, or to reject theni The
wholo power is exhausted when, in
the presence ol the two Houses, the
votes are counted and tho result de
clared. For in this respect tho pow
ers and duties of tho President of the
Soouto, aro, under the Constitution,
partly ministerial. When, therefore,
the joint resolution declares that no
electoral voles shall be received or
counted from States that since March
4, IG7, have not adopted a Constitu
tion under which a Slalo Government
shall have been organized, -a power is
assumed which is nuwhero delegated
to Congress, unless upon the assump
tion that tho State Governments or
ganized prior to March 4, 1H07, were
illegal and void. Tho joint resolution,
by implication, at least, concedes that
these Statin wcto Slates by virtue of
their organisation prior to March 4,
li7, but denies to them the right to
vote, on tho election of President and
Vice President of the Untied States.
Il follows that either this assumption
of power is wholly unauthorized by(
the Constitution, or that theSlules so
excluded from voting were out of the
Union by reason of the rebellion, and
have neverbeen legitimately restored.
Being fully satisfied that they were
never out of tho Union, und that their
relations theieto have been legally
restored, I am forced to the conclu
sion that the joint resolution which
deprives them of tho right to have
their votes lor President and Vice
President received and counted, is in
conflict with the Constitution, and
that Congress have no mure power to
reject their votes than those of the
Slates which has been uniformly loy
al to the federal Union. It is wor
thy of remark that if the Slutes whose
inhabitants wore recently in rebellion
were legally and constitutionally or
ganized and restored to tho rights
prior to March 4, lst7, as I ttm satis
fied they were, tho only legitimate au
thority under the flection for Presi
dent and Vice President held therein
must be derived from the governments
instituted before that period; and il
clearly follows that all Sttito govern
menu organized in those btalcs under
arts of ConirreM for that tii')oso,
and under military control, aro illigit
imate and of no validity whatever;
and in that view the votes cast in

sinro March 4. IKt7. and in obedience
to tho so-called reconstruction nets of
Congress, cannot bo legally received

Doubtless the public were surprised
at the step, and at a loss to know
whut could bo the precise object of
this resolution. Iho facts have at
length leaked out, and they are sub
stantially us follows: The doorkeep
ers of tho House receive $1,440 per
annum, w hether Congress is in seas
sion three months or nine. Last year
these doorkeepers wire told that there
wus work for thorn in the folding
rooms after the admurnment: but
thut if they desired lo go lo their bus

by allowing a deduction of $.'5 per
month from their salaries while ab

Ihe doorkeepers on their return dis
covered thut, although tho deduction
from their suluries bud been made, no
ubslilutcs had been employed. This
naturally uroused indignation and in

Washington, June 80, 18C8.
Colonel James 0. Jiroadhead :
JJbar Colonel : In reply toyour
inquiries, I beg leave to say that I
leave lo you to determine, on consul
tation with my friends from Missouri,
whether my name shall be presented
lo the Democratic Coiivoiilimi, and lo
submit the following as what 1 con
sider thtrrcal and oniv issue miM
contest:
The reconstruction policy of the
I'udicals will be complete before the
noxt election ; the Stales so Ioiil' ex
cluded will have beeu admitted, negro
suffrage established, and the curpet-
fKu.B oiBiaiieu in meir seuis n
both branches of Congress. There is
no possibility of chaiiL'inir the noli li
cal character of the Senate, even il
thu Democrats should elect their
President and a mnioritv of thenopu-
lar branch of Congress. We cannot,
therefore, under tho Radical plan of
reconstruction by Congressional ac
tion ; tho Senate will continue a bar
to its repeal. Must we submit to it ?
How can it be overthrown by the au
thority of the Exocutivo, who issworn
to maintain the Constitution, and
w ho will fail to do bis duly if he allows
the Constitution to perish under a
scries ol Congressional enactments
which aro in palpable violation of its
fundamental principles.
J I Ihe 1 resident elected by the De
mocracy enforces or permits others to
nlorco these reconstruction acts, the
Radicals, bv the accession of twenty
spurious Senators, und fifty Represen
tatives, will control both branches of
Congress, and his Administration will
bo as powerless as the present one of
jsir. Johnson.
There is hut ono way to restore the
Government and the Constitution, und
that is for tho President elect to de
clare these acts null and void, compel
the army to undo its usurpations al
tho South, disperse the carpet bag
State governments, and allow the
white people lo reorganize their own
governments and elect Senators and
Representatives. The House of Rep
resentatives will contain a majority
of Democrats from the Xorlh, and
they w ill admit the Representatives
elected by the whito people of the
-south, and with iw o., oprMttori ol
the President it will not be difficult
to compel the Senate to submit once
more lo the obligations of iho Consti
tution It will not bo able to with
stand the publicjiid.'inentif distinctly
invoked and clearly expressed, on I his
lUKiuinentai issue, und it is the sure
way to avoid all future strife to put
this isstio pluinly in the country,
I repeat that this is the real and
only question which wo should allow
to control us ; shall we submit to the
usurpations by which the Government
has b on overthrown, or shall wo ex
ort ourselves for its full and complete
restoration f It is idlelo talk of bonds,
greenbacks, gold, the public fuilh, ami
tho publiu credit. What can a Dem
ocratic President do in regard to any
of theso with a Congress in both
branches controlled by the carpet
baggers and their allies ? He will be
powerless to stop the supplies by
which idle negroes are organized into
political clubs by w hich an army is
maintained to protect these vagabonds
in Meir outrages upon the ballot.
These, and things like theso, eat i.p
tho revenues and resources of the
Government and destroy its credit
make the difference between gold and
