:"' ,1-1-e.€.,- ra
- 10 political vollia* escare noth
in- less than States of:IDA - Union. At'

. States, but to defend and maintain the
supremacy of the Constitution and all
laws made in pursuance thereof, and to
, •nreserye the Tinton with all the dignitY,
. equality, and rights of the several States
unimpaired ; and that as soon - as- these
'-ohjects were accomplished, the War
.'ought to ceaSe." - In some instances,
seuators were permitted to c , retinue
-their legislative functions, while in
... other instances* Representatives were
elected and'admitted to seats after their
- 'States had formally declared their right
10 withdraw from the onion, and were
.• endeavoring to maintain that right by
~ force of arms. All of the States whose
EMI
people kvere in insurrection', as States ;
were included in the apportionment of
'the direct tax of $20,000,000 annually
" laid upon the United• States by the act
approved August 5, 1861. Congress, by
-...the net of March 4, 1862, and by the an
"' portionment of representation thereun
cder, also recognized their presence as
States in the Union; and they have.
•: for judicial purposes, been divided into
.;districts, as States alone can be divided.
'The same recognition appears in the
! recent legislation in reference to Ten
nessee, which evidently rests upon the
fact that the functions of the State were
not destroyed by the Rebellion, but
merely suspended; and that principle
is, of course, applicable to those States
•.vhieh," like Tennessee, attempted to
renounce their places in 'the Union:
" The action of the'Executive Depart
rni,nt of the Government upon this sub
'ileet has been equally definite and uni
-form. and the purpose of the war was
,epecifleally stated in the Proclamation
issued by my predecessor on the 22d day
'of September, 1862. It was then sol
.: eiiinly proclaimed and declared that
: "hereafter, as heretofore, the war will
be', prosecuted for theobject of practically
reitoriag the constitutional relation be
. tWeen the United States and each of
the States and 'the people thereof, iii
which States that relation is or may be
suspended or-disturbed."
" The recognition of the States by the
Judicial Departmeutof the Government
has also been clear and•conelusivein all
• proceedings affecting thein as States had
in the Supreme, Circuit and District
courts
"In the admission of Senators and
Representatives from any and all of the
States there can be no just ground of
apprehension that persons who are dis
loyal will be clothed with the powers of
legislation, for this could not happen
when the Constitution and the laws are
• enforced by a vigilant and faithful.
Congress: Each house is made the
"judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications of its own members."
When a Senator or Representative pre
sents his certification of election he may
at once be admitted or rejected; or,
should there be any question as to his
eligibility, his credentials may be re
ferred for investigation to the appro
• priate committee. If admitted to aseat
it must be upon evidence satisfactory to
the house of which he thus becomes a
. member that he possesses the requisite
. constitutional and legal qualifications.
' If refused admission as a member for
want of due allegiance to the Govern
ment, and returned to his cianstituents,
they are admonished that none but per
sons loyal to the United States be
allowed a voice in the legislative coun
, ails of the nation, and the politicalpow
, er and moral influence of Congress are
thus effectively exerted in the interests
of loyalty to the Government and fidel
ity to the Union. Upon this question,
so vitally affecting the restoration of the
Union, and the permanency of our pres
. en t form ofgovernment, my convictions,
heretofore expressed, have undergone
no change; but, on the contrary, their
correctness have been confirmed by re
flection and time. If the admission of
loyal members to seats in the respective
houses of Congress was wise and expe
dient a year ago, it is no less wise and
expedient now. If this anomalouscon
diuon is right now—if, in the exact
condition of these States at the present
time, it is lawful to exclude them from
representation, I 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
representation will he no stronger—the
right of exclusion will be no weaker.
•• The constitution of therinitedStates
makes it the duty of the President to
recommend to the consideration of Con
gress "such measures as he Shall judge
necessary or expedient." I know of no
measure more imperatively demanded
by every consideration of national in
terest, sound policy, and equal justice,
than the admission of loyal members
from the now unrepresented States.
This would consummate - the -work of
restoration, and exert a - most salutary
influence in the re-establishment of
peace, harmony. and fraternal feeling.
It would tend greatly to renew the
confidence of the American people in
the vigor and stability of their institu
tions. It would bind us more closely
together as a nation, and enable us to
show to the world the inherent and
recuperatiVe power of a Government
founded upon the will of the people, and
established upon the principles of lib
erty,
,justice, and intelligence. Our
increased strength and enhanced pros
perity would irrefragably demonstrate
the fallacy of the arguments against
free institutions drawn from our re
cent national disorders by the enemies
of republican government. The. ad
mission of loyal -members from the
States now excluded from Congress, by
allaying doubt and apprehension, would
turn capital, now awaiting an opportu
nity for investment, into the channels
of trade and industry. It would allevi
ate the present troubled condition of
those States, and, by inducing emigra
tion, aid in the settlement of fertile re
gions now uncultivated, and lead to an
increased production of those staples
which have added so greatly to the
wealth of the nation and the commerce
of the world. New fields of enterprise
would be opened to our progressive peo
ef
p/e, and soon the devastatio e or war
would he repaired, and all tr ees of our
domestic differences drat from the
minds of our countrymen.
" In our efforts to preserve "the unity
of government which constitutes us one
People," by restoring the States to the
condition which they held prior to the
rebellion, we should be cautious lest,
having rescued our nation from perils of
threatened disintegration, we resort to
consolidation, and in the end, absolute'
despotism, as a remedy for the recurr
ence of similar troubles. The war hav
ing terminated, and with it all occasion
for the exercise of powers of doubtful
constitutionality, we should hasten to
bring legislation within the boundaries
prescribed by the Constitution, and to
return to the ancient landmarks estab
lished by our fathers for the guidance
of succeeding generations. "The Con
stitutions, which at any time exist un
til changed by an explicit and authen
tic act of the whole people, is sacredly
obligatory upon all." "If, in the opin
ion of the people, the distribution or

modification of the constitutional pow
erSbe; in any particular, wrong, let it
he corrected by an amendment in the
way in which the Constitution desig
nates. But let there be tio change by
usurpation, for it is the customary ,
weapon by which free governments are
destroyed." Washington spake these
Words to his countrymen, - when, follow
ed by their love and gratitude, he vol
untarily retired from the cares of public
life. "To keep in all things within the
pale'of our 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 Constitution, and promote a
union of sentiment and action equally
auspicious totheirhappinessandsafety.'
Jackson held. that. the action of thp Gen
eral Government should always be
strictly ,confined to the sphere of its
appropriate duties, and justly and forci
bly urged that our Government is not
•to be maintained nor our Union pre
served "by invasions, of the rights and
powers of the several States. In thus
attempting to make our General Gov
ernment strong, we make it weak. Its
true strength consists in leaving indi
viduals and States as much 'as possible
to themselves; in making itself felt, not
in its power, but in its beneficence; not
in its control, but in its protection •, not
in binding the States more closely to the
center, but leaving each to move unob
structed in its proper - constitutional or
bit." These are the teachings
.of men
whose deeds and services have made
them illustrious, and who, long since
withdrawn from the scenes of life, have
left to their country the rich leg-,
acy of their example, their wisdom, and
their patriotism. ;Drawing fresh inspi
ration from their. lessons, let us emulate
them in love of country.and,respect
. for
the Constitution and the laws." •

It is necessary to say something about
the President's Message, but one needs
some practice in what lawyers call talk
ing against time'—(or talking about
nothing) to discharge this annual duty.
We have read - it unexpectantly—not
anticipating any evidence of wisdom
born of experience or of common sense
awakened by the verdict of the people
at the ballot-box.
Andrew Johnson will have,credit for
sending the weakest of all State papers
into the halls of Congress. We read it
carefully, looking for some evindence of
brains; we re-read it, thinking that a
President must have some brains; but
two readings failed to develop the evi
dence. In common parlance, we prefer
less water in our milk than Mr. John
son affords in. his Message. It is des
perately thin, halting, weary, dull, flat,
stale and unprofitable.
Mr. Johnson still moans over the un
representedness of the ten erring sisters
in Congressional halls. •He returns to
his often reproaches of the obstinacy of
a Congress which refuses to yield up its
prerogative to Andrew Johnson who
has suffered more than any Mau by the
rebellion. His Message reminds us of
the tailor's wife who, being given to
obstinacy, persisted in saying "Scis
sors" to her ninth part of a lord of cre
ation., It will be recollected that the
tailor one day got tired of the repetition
of the shop-board word by his unamia
ble wife, and dragged her to a conven
ient horsepond wherein ,he soused her.
Corning up, . she ejaculated the hated
word " Scissors!" He immersed her
again and prolonged her stay some
what. On lettin,g her up she sputtered
out " Scis-s-s-ors-s-s!" He soused her
under again, holding her there still lon
ger, and a little too long for her wind.
On coming up she was unable to articu
late, but held up her right hand and
moved the fingers with the incisive
motion of a pair of Scissors—thus vindi
cating her prerogative to have the sem
blance of the last word.
So, this subdued reproach by Mr.
Johnson reminds us that he is bent
upon sticking to his " Scissors:" The
fall elections nearly quenched him, and
his remonstrance sounds more like the
maundering of a man in extremis
than the uttterance•of a vigorous•states
man.
In the third paragraph'as published
elsewhere, Mr. Johnson speaks of
having done what he did in 1865, ad in
terim, as made necessary by the failure
of Congress to provide for the govern
ance of the subdued South. This is
miserable quibbing indeed. When
Mr. Johnson was placed where he now
is by a great crime, his first duty was
the convening of Congress in special
session. The last rebel army had just
surrendered, and the Confederate Gov
ernment had toppled down. Here
was an entirely new condition of public
affairs. The question of restoration
was brought forward for the first time:
A. wise man would have felt the great
and pressing need of counsel with the
law-making power in that moment of
suspense. His action on that occasion
furnished new evidence of the truth of
the old adage—" Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread."
This disingenousuess-runs through the
entire portion of the Message relating to
the condition of the country. He alludes
to the admission of Tennessee as an ex
ception. He might have informed the
country that Tennessee was, admitted
simply because she accepted the terms
prescribed by Congress as precedent to
restoration; and that every other Sout
her- State would be admitted on the
same terms. But this was not to the
purpose of this dishonest President.
Again—he says that the seats of 50
Represeptatives and of 20 Senators, are
vacant, not by their consent, but by
the obstinacy of Congress, Without
their consent? No, Sir, W/Tli their cony
sent. These States vacated their pla
ces iu Congress.in 1861, against the pro
test of Andrew Johnson himself. If
there be a vacant seat there it is vacant

'

tt man steals a horse he first vacates his
'position among honest men. Will any
friend of Andrew Johnson• have the
hardihood to say that this horse-thief
- Is to be received back into his old place
in society at will, and•because stealing
does not pay at last? -
Mr. President, you ought tq have
learned that crime disables the perpe
trator in many respects. Treason disa
bles traitors. Congress says thattliese
people late seeking the life•of the-na
tion must purge themselves of their
crime before they can aid in making
laws for decent people to live under.—
' The loyal people of the 'country have
endorsed Congress. And - there the
conditions are stated, there they must
stand as stated, until complied with.—
There is no escape from it save In that
great war which your Blain; and their
echoes 'threatened during the cam
paign. If you intend to resist the peo
ple, say so.• It will not consume much
time to convince every traitor and apolo
gist for treason that the majority shall
rule this nation.
Congress.may as well be on the watch
for new acts of usurpation. This Mess
age is u blind, else Andrew Johnson is
verging upon idiocy.
