After a brief interval the Congilisa of the,
United States, resumes
. its annual legislative
labors. An and merciful.- providence
has abated the pestilence which visited our
shores, leaving its calamitous traces upon some
portions of our country. Peace, order, tran
quility and civil authority have been formally
declared to exist throughout the. whole of the
United States. In all of the States civil au
thority has superseded the coercion of arms,
and the people, by their voluntary action, are
maintaining their governments in full activity
and complete operation. The enforcement, of
the laws is no longer "obstructed inginy State
by combinations too powerful to be suppressed
by the ordinary course ofjudieial proceedings
and the animosities engendered by the war are
rapidly yielding to the beneficent influences of
our free institutions, and to, the It indly effects
of unrestricted social and commercial inter
course. An entire restoration of fraternal
feeling must be the earnest-Witffi of every patri
otic heart ; and we will have accomplished our
grandest national achievement when, forgetting
the sad events of the past, and remembering
only their instru etitei eEons
people.ylessageoftbe.::oifeeri6ls6
Cdhgress was informed of the measure s w
had been instituted by 'the Executive with i
view to the gradual restoration of the States n
which the insurrection occurred to their rela
tions with the General Government. Provi
sional Governors had been appointed, convem
tiops called, GovernorS elected, Legislatures
assembled, and Senators awl Representatives
chosen to the Congress of the United States.
Courts had been opened for the enforcement
of laws long in_aheyance. The blockade had
been removed, custom houses re-established,
and the internal revenue laws put in force, in
order that Ate people might contributp49 the
national income. Postal operations ad en
renewed, and efforts were being made to restore
them to their former condition of efficiency.
The States themselves had-been asked to take
part in the high function of amending the Con;
stitutiori, and thus sanctioniug the extinc
tion of African slavery as one of the legitimate
results of our internecine struggle.
Having progressed thus far, the Executive
Departthent found that it had accomplished
nearly all that was withi., the scope of its con
stitutional authority. One thing, however, yet
remained to be done before the Ivo* of restoriv
lion could be completed, and that was the ad
mission to Cong ress of loyal Senators and
Representatives fro'm the States whose people
had"rebelled against the lawful authority of the
General Om-eminent; This question devolved
upon the respective Houses, which, by the
Constitution are made the judges of the - eke•
lions, returns, and qualifications of their
once
members ; and its consideration at once en
gaged the attention of Congress.
In the metintime, the Executive Department
—no other plan having been proposed by
Congress—continued its efforts to perfect, as
thr as was practicable, the restoration' of
. the
proper relations between the eitizenit of - th e re
spectiVe States, the States and the Federal
Government, extending, from time to time, as
the public interests seemed to require, the ju
dicial revenue and postal systems orthe coun
try. • With the advice and consent of the, Sen
ate, the necessary ollicers were appointe, and
appropriations made by Congress for the pay
ment of their salaries. The propoSition to
amend the Federal Constitution, so as to pre
vent the existence of slavery within the United
States or any place subject to their jurisdiction,
was ratified by the requisite number of States ;
and on the 18th day of Dec.. 180, it was o
cially declared to have become valid as a p:
of the Constitution of the United States. A
of the States in which the insurrection had ex
isted promptly amended their Constitutions, so
as to make them conform to' the great change
thus effected in• the organic law of the land
deglared null and void all ordinances and laws
of secession ; repudiated nil pretended debts
and obligations created for the .i.evolutionnry
purposes of the insurrection, and proceeded; in
good faith, to the enactment of meaSures for
the protection and' amelioration of the comß
tion of the colored race.
Congress, however, heiitated to•adtnit any of
these States to representation, and it was not
until the close of the eighth month of the
session that an exception was made in
favor of Tennessee, by the admission of her Sen
ators and Representatives. Ideem i: a subject of
profound regret that Congress has thus far
failed to admit to seats loyal Senators and
Representatives from the other States, whose
inhabitants, with. those of .Tennessee, had en
gaged in the rebellion. Ten Sth....s, more than
one•fourth of the whole number, remain without
representation: the seats of fifty members in the
House of • Representatives and of twenty
members in the Senate are yet vacan'.
—not by their own consent, net by a
failure of election, but by the refusal of Con
• gross to accept their credentials. Their ad
mission, it ix believed, would have accomplished
7nuelt towards the renewal and strengthening of
our relations as one people, and removed ser
ious cause for discontent on the part oldie inhale
items of those States. It would have accorLd
With the grea'. principle enunciated in the I iecla
ration of A Merles n Independence that no people
ought to bear the burden of taxation, mid vet be
denied the right of representation. It would•have
been inconsonance with the express provi.‘ions of
the Coustitution,t hat each State shall have mienst
one representative, and that no State,without its
consent, shall be deprived of its equal_ suffrage
in the Senate. These provisions were intended
to secure to every State, and to the people of
every State, the right of representation in each
House of Congress ; and so important was it
deemed by the frannirs Of the Constitution that
' the equality of the,States in the Senate should
oe preserved, that not o'ol by, an amendment
of the Constitution can any State, without its
consent, be denied a voice in that branch of
the National Legislature.
It is true, it has been assumed that the exis•
tence of the Stairs was terminated by the re
bellions acts of their inhabitimti, and that the
insnrreetion having been suppressed, they
were thenceforward to be considered merely
as,conquered Territories. The legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial departments of the Gov
ernment have, however with great distinctness
and uniform consistency, refused to sanction
an assumption so incompatible with the nature
of ot.r republican system, and with the profess'
ed objects of the war. f -
Throughout the recent legislation of Con
gress, the undeniable fact makes itself' tipper.
ent that these ten political communities are
nothing less than States of this Union.
At the very commencement of the rebellion,
each HouSe declared, with a 'unanimity as re-.
marltable as it was significant, that the war was.
not "waged, upon our part, in any spirit of op
pression, nor for ally purpose of conquest or
subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or in
tefcring with the rights or established institu
tions of those States, but to defend and main•
tail) the supremacy of the Constitution and all.
laws made in pursuance t ereo , nil to re
serve the Union with all the. digni r eq6a p lity,
and rights of the several States , unimpaired ;
and that as soon as these objects" were "nc•
complished the'war ought to cease" In some
instances Senators were permitted to continue
their legislative functions, while in other in.
stances, Representatives wore elected and ad
mitted to seats nfter.their States had formally
declared their right to Withdraw from the
Union, and were endeavoring,to maintain that
right by force of arms. All of the States whose
people v:erre. in insurrection, as States, wore in

question so vitally affecting the restoration of thli
Union and the permanency ofour present form of
government, my convictions heretofore express

on the contrary, their correctness has. been
confirmed by time and reflection. If the.-ad,

right now—if, in the exact condition of those

to' exclude them from representation;
do not see that the question will be changed by
the efflux of time. Ten years hence, if., these
States remain' as they are, the right of Awe

exclusion will be no weaker. The. Constitu

were preset ihed by Jefferson as rules *fiat:Lion
to endear to his "countrymen the true,;princi

that our Government is not to be maintained
