' . . - ; ... . In mv mefsace of the 4th of December, 1S05. Congress was informed of the measures . i-viuitu iiiki ucca metttuteit uy vno executive .f. with a view to .the gradunl restoration of , , the States in which tho insurrection oc r, enrred to their relations with the General ; , Aivernmcnt. , Provitioual Governor had ..; !evn appointed, Convention called, Gnv Bl' Tnors elected,.

The blobknde lind Imen removed, custom houses re-established ,e aud tlio internal revenue laws put in force, tj in order that : the people .might contribute ,j to the national income, ,, rostm operations 1 had been, renewed and efforts were being p:i inado to restore them to their former con a dition of efficiency . The State themselves t had been asked to take pnrt in the high Y, function of amending the Constitution, und . . of tUus sanctioning thcextinction of African ; slavery as one of the legitimate results of ,. our iuternecine struggle. , , .. ... lUvtog progressed thus far, the Executive T , Department found that it hnd accomplished 4: nearly all that was within tho scope of its -r couatitutionnl authority. One thing, how ; ever, yet rumained to be done before the , work of restoration could be completed, and - that was the admission to Congress of loyal r Senator and Representatives from the e. States whose people had rebelled against , the lawful authority of the general Govern i - :ient,- This question devolved upon the fe- ,..;spective Houses, which, by the Constitution are made the judges of the elections, returns, a nod qualiucutious or tiieir ewn memoers; , and its consideration at once engaged the - , attention of Congress. f .: lathe meantime the Executive Depart- tneut no other plau having buen proposed e . by Congress coutinued its efforts to per- f ,- feet, as fur. as was practicable, tho restora . tion of the proper relations between the citizens of the respective States, the States, and the Federal Government, extending, - from time to time, as the public interests seemed to roti'iir", the judicial, rcveoue and ; .. postal systems of the country. A ah tho advice and consent ol the Senute. the neces '. sary officer were appointed aud appropria-,- ; tion made by Congress for tho ptiyment of ' tlioir salaries. The proposition to omend the Federal Constitution, so as to prevent - the existence of slavery within the United i.: States or uny place subject to their jurisdic ... tion, was ratified by tliu requisite number of ! States ; and the 1 8th day of December, 1 8U5, it was officially declared to have become , valid as a part of the Constitution of the , -United States. All of the States in which the: insurrection bad existed promptly j .; amended their Constitutions, so as to make them coo form to the great change thus cf- t fected in the orcarnc law ol the land : de clarcd null and void ail ordinance and laws ,i- of secession ! repudiated all pretended debts and obligaiioas created tor the revolution' rm rv purposes of the insurrection : and pro. . . : ceeded, in good fuith, to the cnuctir.ent of i. measures for the protection and nmeliora. tion of the condition of the colored race, Congress, however, still hesitated to admit i ' . any of these States to representation ; and it r was not until toward the close or the eighth i " month of the session that an exception wua made in favor ot Tennessee, by the auiuiS' - aion of ber Senator and Representative. r .. I deem it a subject of profound regret i .' that Congrest has thus far tailed to admit 1 i 1 to seat loyal Senator and Representatives I ' from the other States, . whose inhabitants, f with those of Tennessee, had engaged in the rebellion, Ten Statc--n:ore than one fourth of the whole number remain with ,: out representation j the eat of fifty mem ' ! -beriio the House of Itepresentutivt and of r ' twenty members ia the Senate aro yet vu i cant not bv ' their own concent, not bv a . ' : failure of election, but by the relusal of Congress to accept their credent ials. Their i -!i admisaiofl, it is believed, would have an ti - " cempliahcd much toward the -renewal and i: atrengthehing of nr relations as one pi'opli ( :i "' and removed serious rnuse for discontt nt on I the part of the inhabitant of those State, ti ' It would have accorded with the creat i . prinrlnlpt enunciated in the Declaration of ..,. - . : . w . . . . , ,i. . lAineriuaa inuupenuenco, inut no. peopiu .- - ought to bear the burden of taxution, and !vet be denied the right of representation. ' !' It would have been in consouunce with the :j ' ; express provisions of the Constitution, that K.ii "eaoh State snail nave at least one Kepre " sentative" and "that no Stale, without its consent, hll be deprived of its equal suf- .v. tfta in the Senate. v 1 hese provisions were intended to secure to every State, and . ' " to the people of every State, the right of V' representation in eaib House of Congress; ' and -so important was it deemed by the "4 framers ot the Constitution that the equality of the States ia the Sfuate should be pre- srvedrtUai.Auvea.iiy an amendment of . th Constitution can any State, without its content, be "denied a voice in that branch of the National Legislature, i 'It !s true.it ha been aetnrped that the existence of the Stat ws terminated by ,4he rebellions acts of their iuhaMtanta, and that the insurrection having been suppresa- . d, they were thenceforward to be cunsM ercil merely , conquered tprrltories, Th , lgiftutiv. Executive; and Judiciul Depart ' iin-nts of the Oovornment have, however, . with great distiqetnu and uniform consls- tency, refused to sanction an assumption to 7 incompatible wjth the nature of .our.repub lican System, and with the professed object . o; Jlie wr, , Throughout the recent legisla tion of Congress, the undeniable fact'ioake lte;lf tpusrent, that these ten political oho ' Vmunliii are nothing less than State ot this Union, At the very coiuriicneccertit Lf the rebellion, each II ue deelsred, wltb a una nimity o1 remarkable a ' it was Bignitic&nt, 'that the war was not ,Mwaccd," npoa our part in any plrit of oppressiim, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor uuruose of overthrowlnir or interfering with .the tight and established Institutiortf of those Btstf. but to defend aud maintain tk euprrj:acy f tb Colitotioa'n)4 U laws trade in pursuance tnoreof, and to pr- erv ma Union with, all the dignity, equal ity and right of the several btatea iuniia paired and at aeon aa these objects" were "accomplished the; war ought to' cease," In some instance.

All of the States whose people were Jn Jastrrrec tuxi, as atatesf were mciucieu'ia me appor tionment of the direct tax of twenty mil lions dollars annually laid upon the United States by the act approved 5tn August, 1881.

The action of the Executive Department of the Government upon this subject has been equally definite and uniform, and tho purpose of the .war was specifically stated i 1 1- - r , ' . . . - , i ... . I .. iu me x ruciHuinm'ii issueu uy uij jjicuu ccssor on the 22d day of September, 1302. It was then solemnly proclaimed and de clared that "hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional rela tion between the United States and each of the States and the people thereof, in which States thnt relation is or may be suspended Or disturbed.". ; The recognition of the Slates ly the Ju dicial Department of the Government has also been, clear and conclusive in all pro ceedings, affecting them as States, had in the Supreme, Circuit, and District Courts. r ' In the admission of Senators and Repre sentatives from any and all of the States, there can be'no just ground of apprehension that persons who are disloyal will be cloth ed with the powera of legislation for this could not. happen when the Constitution and the laws are enforced uy a vigilant ana faithful Congress.' Euch House is made the "judge or the elections, returns ana quoiin c'ations of itsown members," nnd may, "with the concurrence of two lhiras. expel n mem ber." Yhen a Senator or. Representative nrescnta bis certificate of election, he may at once bo admitted or rejected 1 'or, fhould there be any question as to nis eiigioimj, h credential may be referred for .investiga tion to the appropriate cum mil tec. If ad mitted to a seat, it must be upon evidence satisfactory to the House of which he thus becomes a member, that he possesses the requisite constitutional and legal qualifica tions. If refused admission as a member for want of due allegiance to tho Govern ment, and returned to his constituents, they nre admonished thnt none but persons loyal to the United States will be allowed a voice in the Legislative Councils of the nation, and the political power and moral iufiuenco of Congress nre thus effectively exerted in the interests of loyalty to the Government n-vl fidelity to the Linon. tpon mis quis prlftta duties', and justly and forcibly trged that our Gorernment is not to, be maintain ed nor our Union preserved "by invasions of th right and powers o toe everaio-j In thus, attempting - Government strong, we taaka it m J true strength consists in leaelnjt indivjduals and States as mech aa possible Utbeto selves ' in tnsklng itself felt,' not in it pow er but in Its benencence j o" "., bat in its protection not in uinniog u States more closely to the centre, but leav ing esoli to aiote unobstructed in it prop' constitutional orbit." - These are the; teachl intra ftf nifn whose deeds and services have made tuem niusirioun, nu withdrawn from the scenes of lifo, huve left tii their country tbe rich legacy pi their ex ample, their wisdom and their patriotism.

Tiiis Government has claimed for all per sons not convicted, or accused, or suspected of crime, an absolute political right of self- expatriation, and a choice of new national allegiunce. Most or the European btatea have dissented from this principle, and have claimed a rieht to hold such of their subjects as have immigrated to and been naturalized in tbe Lnited Mates, and alter wards returned on transient visits to their native countries to the performance of mill titry service in like manner as resident sub ject. Complaints arising from tbe claim in thia respect made by loreign btatcs, bave heretofore lieen matters ol controversy be tween the United States and some of tbe European Powers, aud the irritation conse quent upon the failure to settle this ques tion increnstd during the war in which Prussia, Italy and Austria were recently en cagred. Wuite Ureat lintaia nas never so knowleilued tbe nubt ( expatriation she has not been equally forbearing, and Prussia has proposed a compromise, wuiclt.altboucb evincing increased liberality, has not been accepted bv tbe United 6tatct. Peace is now prevailing everywhere in Europe, and the present seems to be a favorable lime for ao assertion by Congress of the principle, so long maintained by the Executive Depart ment, tbat naturalization by one btate tully exempts tbo nntive Iwirn subject of any other State from tbe perlprmacoe of military service under any foreign Government, so long as he does not voluntarily renounce its rights and benefits.
