Sc., as . w re latures assembled, and Senators and Representatives choRen to the Congress ol the United States. Courts had been opened for the enforcement of laws long in abeyance. Tho blockado had been removed, custom-houses re-established, and the internal revenue lavrs put in force, in order that the people might contribute to the national income. Postal operations had been ronowed, and efforts were being made to rcstoro them to their former condition of efficiency. The States themselves had been asked to take part in the high function of amending the Constitution, and of thus sanctioning the extinction ol African slavery as one of tho legitimate results of our intcrnoclne struggle. Having progressed thus far, tho Executive Department found that it had accomplished nearly nil that was within tho scope of its constitutional authority. One thing, however, yet remained to be done buforo the work of 'restoration could bo completed, and that was the admission to Congress of loyal Seuators and Representatives from the States whose people bad rebelled against tho lawful auD thorities of tho General Government. This question devolved upon (he respective Houses, which, by the Constitution, are made the judges of tho elections, returns, i)iid qualifications of their own members; and its consideration at once engaged the attention of Congress.In the meantime, the Executive Department —no other plan having been proposed by Congress—continued its efforts to perfect, as far as was practicable, the restoration of the prop cr relations between the citizens of the respective States, the Senate, and the Federal Government, extending, from time to time, as the public interests seemed to require, the judicial, revenue, am] postal systems of the country. With the advice and consent of the Senato, the necessary officers were appointed, and appropriations made by Congress for the payment of their salaries. The proposition to amend the Federal Constitution, so as to pre" vent the existence of slavery within the United States or at;y place subject to their jurisdiction, wos ratified by the requisite number of States ; and on tho 18th dav of December, i860, it was officially aeelareu to have become valid as a part of the Constitution of the United States. All of tho States in which tho insurrection had existed promptly amended their Constitutions so as to make them conform to the great change thus effected in tho organic law of tho land; decked null and void all ordinances and laws of secession ; repudiated all pretended debts and obligations created for the revolutionary purposes of tho insurrection ; and proceeded, in good faith, to the enactment of measures for the protection and amelioration of the condition of tho colored race. Congress, however, yet hesitated to admit any of these States to representation ; and it was not until toward the close of the eighth month of the session that an exoeption was made in favot of Tennessee, by the admission of her Senators and Representatives. I deem it a subject of profound regret that Congress has thus fur failed to admit to soates loyal Senators and Representatives from the other States, whoso inhabitants, with those of Tennessee, had engaged in the rebellion. Ten States—moro than one-fourth of (he whole number—remain without representation,; the seats of fifty members of the Houso of Representatives and of twenty members in the Senate arc yet vacant—not by their own consent, not by a failure of election, but by the  of Congress to accept their credentials. "Their admission, it is believed, would have accomplished much toward the renewal and strengthening of our relations as one people, and removed serious cause for discontent on the part of the inhabitants of those States. It would have accorded with the great principle enuncjuted in the Peclaration of American Independence, that nd people ought to bear tho harden of taxation, and yet be denied the right of representation. It would have been : in consonance with the express provisions .of tho Constitution, that "each State shall have at least one Representative," and "that ho State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." These provisions were intended to secure to every State, end ffl the people of every State, tho right of representation in each House of Congress; and so important was it deemed by the (Vomers of the Constitution that the equality of the States in the Senate should bo preserved, that not even by an amendment of the Constitution can-uny States, without its consent, be denied a voice in that branch of tho National Legislature. It is true, it has been assumed that the existence of the States was terminated by the rebellious acts of their inhabitants, and that the insurrection having been suppressed, they were thenceforward, to be considered merely ns conquered territories. The Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Departments of the Government have, however, with groat distinctness and anKbrm consistency, refused to sanction an assumption so incompatible with The action of tbo Executive Department of the Government upon this subject has been equally definite and uniform, and the purpose Of the war was specifically Stated in the Proclamation issued by my predecessor on the 22d dny of September, 1802. It was then solemnly proclaimed and declared that "hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States and eaoli of the States and I he the people thereof, in which States ibat relation is or inay be suspended or disturbed." The recognition of the States by the Judicial Department of the Government lias also been clear and conclusive in all proooedings affecting tbom as States, had in iho Supreme, Circuit and District Coui ts. In the admission of Senators and Representatives from any and all of the States, there can be no just ground of apprehension that people who are disloyal will bo clothcd 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," and Way, " with the concurrence of I wo-thirds, expel the member."— When a Senator or Representative presents his certificate of election, he may at once bo admitted or rejected ; or should there be nny question as to bin eligibility, his credentials may bo referred for investigation to the appropriate committee. If admitted 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 qualifications. If refuged admission as a member for want of due allegianco to the Government, and returned to his constituents, they are admonished that none but persons loyal tft the United States will bo allowed a voico in the Legislative Councils of the nation, and the political power and moral influence of Congress are thus effectively exerted in the interest of loyalty to tho Government and fidelity to tho Union. Upon this question, so vitally affecting the restoration of the Union and permanency of our present form of government, my convictions, heretofore expressed, have undergone no change ; but, on the contrary, their correctness has btjen confirmed by reflection and time. If the admission of loyal members to seats in the respective Houses of Congress was wise and cxpedient ft year ago, it is no bss wise and expedient now. If this anomalous condition is right noiw—it in tho exact condition of these States at the present time, it is lawful to exclude them from representation, I do not see that tho question will bo changed by the efflux of time. Ten years hence, if these States remain as they are, tho right of representation will be no stronger—the right of exclusion will bo no weaker. The Constitution qt tho United States makes it the duty of the President to recommend to the consideration of Congress " such measures as ho shall judge necessary or expedient" I know of no measure more imperatively demanded by every consideration of national interest, sound policy, and equal justice than the admission oftoyw members from the now unrepresented States. This would consummate the work of restoration, and exort a most, salutary influence in tho re-establishment of peace, harmopy and fraternal feeling. It would tend greatly to renew the confidence Of the American people m 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 and recuperative power government founded upon the will of the"people, aijd established upon the principle"of liberty, justice and intelligence. Our1 increased strength knd enhanced prosperity would irrefragably demonstrate the fallacy of the arguments against free institutions drawn from our recont nation| nl disorders the enemies of republican govj ernment The admission of loyal members j from the States now excluded from Congress, by allaying doflbt and apprphensiqn,  turn capital, now waiting aq opportunity for investment," in th6' channels of trade and industry. It would alleviate the present  dition of those States,-Wod by induing emigration, aid In the settlement of fertile inform now uncultivated and lead to an increased production of those staples which have added so greatly to tho wealth of the nation and the commerce of the world. New fields ol enterprise would be opened to our progressive peo pie, and soon the devastations of war would be repaired, and all traces of our domestic difference effaced from the minds of our countrymen.In our efforts to'preserve "the unity of Government which constitutes us one people,'* by restoring the State to the condition which tbey held prior to tho rebellion, we should be cautious 4es*,-4wmng rescued our nation from petiltf-ef ttoMtenotir-: disintegration, we resort to consolidation, tl*e end absolute des- LAW A MCMILLAN s Pi r » - S"r»5S! . 5 HI &; H Ql g| b ©Ml ?
