Tile lIECONSTALTTION QIIEST/ON..
In my message of the 4th of December,
1865, Congress was informed of the' measures
which bed been instituted by, the Executive
with a view to the gradual reconstruation of
the States in which the hasurrec-ion oe - eurred
to their relations with the General-asovern•
meat. Provisional Governors bad' been tip : -
pointed,Conventione called, Governors elected;
Legislatures assembled, and Senators and Rep
resentatives eh •f en to the Congrees, of the Ifni
ted States. Courts had been,opened for, the
enforcement of the laws long in abeyanee.
The blockade bad. been removed. custom
houses re-established, and the Internal reve
nue laws put in force, in order that the people
might contribute to the national income.
Postal operations had been renewed, and
effort, were being made '[b=, restore them to
their former -efficiency. The Swett thein.
selves had been asked to take Part* In the
high function of amending the Constitution,
and of thus sanetiohing the, extinction of Af
rican slavery as one'ofthe legitimate remits
of our internecine etnaggle.
• fraying progressed so far the executive De-,
pertinent found. that it had accomplished
nearly all that was in the scope ofjts constit a-
Hopei authority. One thing, however, yet
remained to be done before thework.of res
to4ation could be completed, and that was'
the admission to Congress of' loyal Senators
anil Representatives from the Statee whose
pe ple had rebelled against the lawful-author
i
it of the General Government. The question
de olved upon the respective Houses, which,
'bytiithe Contitution. are made the judges of
the
-election, returns, and qualifications of
their own members ; and its eoneideration at
once engaged the attention of „Congress.'
In the meantime. the Executive Depart
ment—no other plan Inning been proposed by
Congress—continued its efforts to perfect, as
far as practicable, the restoration of, the pro
per relations between citizens of the respec
tive States, the States, and the Federal Gov
ernment, extending, from time to time, 611
the public interests seemed to require, the
judicial, revenue and postal system of the
country. With the advice and cooseat- of the
Senate, the necessary officers were . cppointed,
a,nd:appropriations made by Congress for the
payment of their salaries. The proposition
to amend the Federal Constitution, so as icr
prevent the existence of slavery within the
United States or any place subject to their
jurisdiction, was ratified by the requisite
number Of_Statee; and on the 19th day of
December, 1885. it was Officially declared to
have become valid as a part of the COnstitn
tion of the 'United States. All of the States.
in which the insurrection had existed proems,
lyamended their Constitutions, so as to make
them conform to the great change thus effect+
ed in the organic law orthe land; -declared
null and void all ordinances 'and laws of se
cession; repudiated all pretended debts' and
obligations created for the - revolationarY Par
pout of the insurrection; and proceeded, ip
wed faith, Id die enactment of measures-for
the protection and amelioration of the condi
• tion of the colored fine. •
Congress, however, yet hesitated to admit
--any of these States to representation, and it
was not until the close of the eighth month of
the session that an exception yuletide in fa
vor of, Tennessee by the, admission of her
Senators and "Repreeentatives. I deem it a
subject at profound regret that Congress has
thus far failed to admit to seats loyal Sena
tors and, itepreeentarayee boas f,ho %Ohm.
States whose inhabitants, with Hum of Ten
nessee, bad engaged in rebellion. Tien•Stafes,
more than one-fourth of the whole number,
remain without representation. The seats
of fifty members of the House and twenty of
the Senate are yet vacant—not by - their own
consent, not by &failure of election, but by the
refusal of Congress to accept their creden
Gals. Their admission, it is believed, would
have accomplished much towards the renewal
and strengthening of oit relations as tine
people, and removed serious cause for discon
tent on the part of the people of those States
It would have accorded with the great prin
ciple enunciated in the Declaration of lode
peedecee, that no people ought to bear the
burden of taxation and yet be denied the right
of representation. It would have been in
consonance with the express provisions of
the Constitution that each State shall have at
least one representative, and that no State
' without its consent shall be deprived of equal
suffrage in the Senate. These provisions
were intended to secure for every State the
right of representation in Congress, and
- so important was it deemed by the framers of
the Constitution that the equality of the
States shall be preserved in the Senate, 'that
not even by an amendment of the'Constitution
can any State without its consent be denied a
voice jn that branch of the National Legisla
ture. 0i,..,
It is true, it hoe been as-umed that The
existence of the
.States was terminated
by the rebellious acts of their inhabitants,
and that the rebellion having been sup
' presied they were thenceforward to be
• considered as merely conquered territo
ries. The Legislative. Executive and . Ju
dicial departments cf the Government
have, however• with great distinctness
and uniform consistency, refused to
sanction an . assumption so incompatible
with the nature of our republican system,
and with the professed objects of the war.
Throughout the recent legislation of Con
gress the undeniable fact makes:itself ap
parent, that these ten political communi
ties, are nothing two than States of this
'Union. At the very commencement of
the rebellion, each Hone, declared, with i
a unanimity as remarkable as it was sig
nificant, that the war was not . "waged
upon our part in aby spirit of oppression,
. nor any purpose of conquest or aubjuga.
tiob, nor purpose of overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or. established
. institutions of the States, but to defend
and maintain the supremacy of - the Con
stitution and alllaws made in pursuance
thereof, ,and to preserve time 'Cram with"
all the dignity; equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired; and that as
soon as these objects"- were "accomplished
the war ought to cease."
In some instances. Senators were per-.
mitted to.continue their legislative lune
!long.. while in other instances Represen
• tativea were elected and admitted to seats
after their States had . formaly declared
their right to withdraw - froin the Union.
• and were endeavoring tit maintain -Oda
right by force of arms.. All of the States
whose people were in insurrection, as
States, were included in the ipportion
ment of the direct tax of 'twenty millions
of dollars annually laid upon the United
- •Statea' by the act approved August sth,
1861. Congress, by the act of 'March 4th,
1862 and by the apPertion e ment;of repre
sentation thereunder, also recognized
their presence as States of the Union; and'
they have, for judicial purpos.es, been di.
- vidid into districts, I s States alone cab be
divided. The same recognition ' appears
in the recent legislation -in reference to
Tennessee, -Which 'evidently - rests upon
the fact that' the functions -of the State
'were not destroyed by the rebellion, brit
merely suspended; and that principle is
of course applicable to those States which,
like Tennessee, attempted to renouno i
their places in the Uniott.• .
the .action of 'the Executive depart
ment of the Government upon this subject
has been equally--vieGerite and uniform,
and the purpose of *the war was apecifi
'catty stated in the proclautstion issued lif
my predecessor on the 234 day of Septem
.ber, 1862. It was .then solemnly. 'prat
claimed that "heretafter, as heretoforeA
the war will be prosecutor the object
- of practically reatorinconstitutional
relation between theed States and
- eac h of th e States, and the people thereof,
in whieirStetesolte relation is or may be
•
suspended or disturbed."
- The recognition of the States by the
Judicial department of the Government
has also been clear and conclusive in all,
proceedings effecting them as Stales, hod
in the Supremo, Circuit and District
Courts.
In the admission of Senators and Rep ,
resentatives from all Of the States, tht re
can be no just patinae -Of apprehetrion
that persons who are disloyal will be
clothed with the powers of legislation, for
this could net happen when the Constitu
tion and the laws are enforced by a vigi
lant and faithful Congress. Each House
-is the judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications of its own - members, A
Senator 'or member may be' admitted or
rejected, or his credentials referred 'to a
proper committee. If admitted to a seat
it must be upon evidence satisfactory to
the House-of which he beComes a member
that he possesses the re(pitsite legal and
Constitutional qualifications, If refused
admission, and sent to his constituents
for want of due allegiance, • they are ad
monished that none but persons loyal la
the United States will be allowed in the
councils - of the nation, and the political
power and moral influence of Congress
are thOs effectually exerted in the interest
Of loyalty to the Government and fidelity
to the' Union. ,Upon this question, so
vitally tiffeetioe-the restoration of the
Union, and the- permaneney of our pres
ent form ot,Gavernmont, - my convictions.
•heretorofore expressed, have undergone
ho change, but, oh the contrary, their
correctness haa -been confirmed by isflec-
Con and time. 'lf the admission of' loyal
members to seats in Congress was wise a
year ago, it is no .leas wise and expedient
now. If this anomalous condition is right;
if in the exact condition of these. States at
the firesent time it is lawful to ex
clude them from representation,l do not
see that the position will be c hanged by
the efflux of • time. Ten years benne if
these States remain as they are, the rig hti
of representation will be no stronger. 'The
right of seclusion will be no weaker. The
Constitution • makes it the duty of the
President to recommend to the considera
tion of Congress such measures as he may
deem expedient. I know of no measure
more 'imperatively demanded by every
consideration of national interest, sound
policy and equal- justice, than the admis
sion of loyal members' from the unrepre
sented States. This would coneummate the
work or restoration and exert a ,mosi Balm
tory influence in the establishment of'
peace, harmony and fraternal -feeling. It
would tend greatly to renew the confi
dends of the American people in the vigor
and stability of their institutions.
It would bind us more closely together
as a nation, and enable us to show to the
world the inherent recuperative power of
a government founded upon the will of the
people, sod established upon- the princi:
plea of liberty, justice and intelligence..
Our increased strength and enhanced
prosperity would irrefragibly demonstrate
the fallacy of the arguments against free
institutions drawn nom our recent *na
tional disorders by the enemies of republi
can government. - -Tho admission of loyal
men from the States now excluded from
Congress, by allaying doubt and appre
hension, would turn capital now awaiting
an opportunity for investment, into the
channels of trade and industry. It would
alleviate the present troubled condition.

In our efforts to preserve "the unity' of
the government Which constitutes us one
people," by restoring the States to the
condition which they held prier to (lie re
bellion, we stnierld be cautious lest, basting
rescued our nation from perils of threat
ened disintegration, we resort to consoli
dation, and in the end absolute despot
ism, as a remedy for the recurrence of
similar troubles, 'The war having termin
ated, and with it all occasion for the exer
cise of doubtful constitutionality, we
should hasten to bring legislation within
the boundaries prescribed by the Consti
tution ; and to return to sisa ancient -land

any particular, wrong, let it-be corrected
by- an amendment in the way in- which.
the Constitution designatee ; but-let there
be no change by usurpation ; for it is the
customary weoponby which free govern
ments are destroyed."
Washington spoke these words to his coun
trymen, when followed by their love &ad grat
itude, he involuntarily retired from the cares
of public life. "To seep in.all_things within
the pales of • ear constitutional - powers; and
cherish the Federal Union as the only rock
of safety," were prescribed by Jefferson as
rules of action to endear' to -his countrymen
the true principles of their Con'titutioo, and
promote s melon of sentiment. and action
equally ''sus vicious In their ft:Reines' and
safely. - Jackson -held that the action of the
General Goverunient should - always be strictly -
confined to the srhere of Its appropriate du
ties, and jostlyand forcibly urged that our
Government is not to be maintained nor bur
'Union Preserved "by invasion of the rights
and -powers of the several - states. - lilting at:i
tempting to make the Government strong; we
make it weak. :Its true strength consists in
leaving individuate and States as much as
possible to themselier ; in making itself felt;
not in its power, but in Its beneficenoe ; not
in its control-teat in its protection; not lo'
binding the States more olosely.to the centre,
but leaving each to move unobstructed in its
constitutional orbit." These are the teach
ings of men whose deeds and advice have
made them illustrious, and who, long since
having withdrawn from the scenes alit& have
left to their country the rich legacy of their
example, their wisdom, and their patriotism.
Drawing fresh inspirations from their lessons,
let us emulate them in love of country and
respect for-the Constitution and the taws.

Peon wxsumaiox:
The second session of the 39th Congress
convened on Monday, in accordance with'
the provisions of the -Constitution. In
both branches, the Radicals have a Major
ity large enough toPassany;measure over
the veto of,the Preaident,'and all the in
dications point to a course of proceedings
beside the enormity of which that of - the
hist ..session • will dWiedle io.tq insigni- -
ficance. The temper of the Radicals was
forcibly displayed in the first day's pro
Ceedingi. The- Senate Sod Honse"were.
fairly inundated with bills •restrictlng , the
Executive Power for the future and re.
pealing the license of the past: In the
'House rivet' the Chaplsiniin the Connect

upon an impeachment of the President.
Mr. JOhilson's 'Message was sent in
promptly on the•firat day of the. session.
It is a calto,.able and statesmanlike doc‘k
meet, the tone of which even the
dent's enemies are compelled to 'admire.
That class of persons. who thought so lit
tle of Mr: Johnson's moral rectitude' as to
imagine "the' fall elections would divert
him from the policy he had previciusly
pursued, find themielves• grievously: dis
appointed. On the question of i'recott:'
stimetion,"" he says, distinctly, that his
views "have undergone no change; bur r
ClO-the contrary, their correctness has been
confirmed by. reflection and time." This
is the language of a true patriot, • and
though the labors of its author tiiity not
be appreciated.,,aniid, the passions and
follies, of the day, • time- will come
*heti be will be rewailed with the plattd
ity which conscientious duty, firmly. midi
