liow disparaging to themselves is such an ap
prehension! Are they apprehensive that those
who mav succeed them train their respective
States miiy he so fatally led astmy? How dls-
narncing is this supposition to the patriotism and
wisdom of their constituents I Whatever ctleet
on mere parly success such a representation mny
have, we shall not stop to Inquire. The idea
that the country is to bc‘kept in turmoil, States
to lie reduced to bondage, and their rights under
the Constitutftm denied, and their citizens de
graded, with a view to the continuance in power
of a party, cannot for a moment tie entertained
without 'imputing gross dishonesty of purpose
and gross dereliction of duty to tiiose who mny
entertain it. Nor do we deem it necessary to
refer particularly to the evidence taken by the
committee to show Hint thore is nothing in tho
present condition of the people ol the Southern
Stales that warrants on Hint ground a denial of
representation to them. We Content ourselves
with saying tlml, in our opinion, the evidence
most to he relied upon, whether regarding the
character of the witnesses or their means of in
formation, shows that representatives from the
Southern States would prove perfectly loyal.—
We specially refer for this only to the testimony
ol Lieut. Gen. Grunt. Ills loyally and his intel
ligence no one can doubt. In Ids letter to the
President of the 18th of December, 18(15, niter
he luid recently visited South Carolina, North
Ge
Carolina and Georgia, lie says:
“ Both, in traveling and while stopping, I saw
much and conversed freely with the citizens of
those States, ns well ns with oiliecrs of the army
who lia've been among them. The following are
the conclusions come to by me: I am satisfied
that the muss of thinking men of the South ac
cept the present situation of affairs in good faith,
The questions which here hitherto divided tho
sontimmus of the people of the two sections—
slavery and Stntcs rights, or the right of a State
to secede from the Union—they regard as having
been fettled forovor by the highest tribunal—
nrnw—that man can have resort to. 1 Was pleas
ed to learn from the lending men whom' l'mct
that they not only accepted the decision arrived
ut as final, but now that Use smoko of battle lias
cleared away, and time has been given for reflec
tion, that tins decision 1ms been a fortunate one
for the country, they receiving tho like benefits
from it with tunsc. who opposed them in the flehl
and in die cause. My observations lend tne to
the conclusion that tlie citizens of .the Bnutliern
States are anxious to return to self-government
of the Union as soon os possible; that While re
constructing they want und require protection
from the government; tlmt they lire in earnest in
wishing uvdo what they think Is required by tho
ltiz
government—not humiliating to them as citizens
—and that if such a comae was pointed out they
would pursue it in good faith, (t is to lie rcgrcl-
ed tlmt there cannot be a greater commingling at
this time between thecHizensoft.be two sections,
and particularly of those entrusted with dip-law
making power.
Secession, as a practical doctrine overto be re-
sotietl to, is almost utterly abandoned. It was
submitted to and fulled before tlie ordeal of bat
tle. Nor can the undersigned imnginu why, if its
revival is anticipated as possible, the committee
have not recommended an amendment to the Con
stitution guarding against It in terms. Such nn
amendment, it cannot he doubted, the Sonthcru
us well as the Northern States would cheerfully
adopt. Tho omission of such a recommendation
is pregnant evidence that secession,'as n constitu
tional right, is thought by the majority of the
committee to tie practically a mere tiling of tlie

dent. tTlich tho ./ConStithtton' witt adopted- It'
was thought-to lie defecti'vb in not sufllciently
protcctiritf certain right* of tlie Btntcs and'the
people. With a view 6f,siinplylng d remedy tor
this defect, on the-4th of iltiirch, 1780, various-
amendments, liy n resolution constitutionally
passed, were submitted for ratifloation to the
States.. Tliese were twelve in ouniber. Scyoral
of them xt-rirc even less" independent J of ‘fcnclf
other than are those recommended by the com
mittee. Ench was, therefore, presented ns a sep
arate article.' Tlie language of iMe^rekhrtlon
was “that the following article* bo proposed to
the Legislatures of die several - Stole* ns amend-,
meats to tbqConslltUtioii rtf; the Bolted Slates,
nil, or any of which nrtielcs, when ratified' by
three-fourths ot the Legislatures, to be valid to
nil intents and purposes as parts of.the Consti-
tntloh." Tlipt Congress was willing io obtain
citlicr| of tbe submitted amendments; to get n
part if not able to. procure tlie whole. They
thought, uml in tlmt we submit, they but con
formed to the letter mid spirit of the upiumlutory
clause of tlie Constitution—dint tho people have
n right to pusswiverally oti uny iiroppsed umend-
ments. Tills course of 6ur ini hers, however, is
now departed from, nnd tlie result will probably
be that no ono.of tbo^euggeeted'-nniendmenu,
though some may be approved^will bo ratified.
This will certainly be tire,result unless thuBmtho
are willing procUculljr to relluqubih the right diey
Imve always enjoyed, nover before questioned by
nny recognized smtesimin, mid all important to
their interest mid security—the right .to regulate
the franchise in nil their elections.
There nre, too, some general observations that
bear on die subject, to which wo will noW refer:
First, one of the resolution* of tha-Chicago Con
vention, by which Mr, LI1190I11 was first nomi
nated for die Presidency, says 11 tlmt die mainte
nance, inviolate,' of the right*' of tiitf Stoics is
VtRientinl to the balance of power on whtch the
prosperity anti endurance of our political fhbrifc
depends. In. Ills inaugural address of tho 4th
of Marcli, 1881, which received tho almost uni
versal approval of die jH-ople, among other
things, hu^said, “no State, of its owji inoiion,
past, as all tlie proof taken by diem showa-lt to bo
in the opinion of all die lending
... . „ Southern men
who iiitiu-rio entertained it.. Tlie desolation
around them; hectneombs of their own slain;
the stern patriotism of tbe men of the other
States exhibited by unlimited expenditure of
tressure end of blood, nnd their love of tlie Un
ion so sincere and deepsealed tlmt it is seen they
will hazard nil to maintain it, have convinced
tlie South that ns n practical doctrine secession
is extinguished forever. Sutc secession, 1 then,'
abandoned, and slavery abolished by the South
ern Ktales themselves, or with their consent, up
on what statesmanlike ground can such States
lie denied all Uui rights which tbe Constitution
secures to Slates of die Union 7 All admit dint
to do so at the earliest period is deninrided by
every consideration of duty and policy, aud none
deny that the actual interest of the'country is to -
a great extent involved in such admission. . The
staple productions of the rioutheru States tire as
nmortanl to the other Slates ns to themselves,
fji'iae staples largely enter into the wants of all
alike, and thov are almost os important to. tho
financial credit of the government. Those ato-
Ps-s will never lie produced ns in tlie pint until
real peace, restlug na it can alone rest on the
•spud and uuilorin o|ier»!ioo of the Constitution
and laws on alt is nttolncd. To suppose thiit a
brave and sensitive pgnple will give'undivided
attention to the increase of mere material wealth
while retained in a statu of practicid Inferiority
ami deradaiion la more fully. They iloalre to lie
Jjpuu jo the Union, to unloy the rnsnoUf* of, the.
invoke you to receive
can lawfully get out of tbe Union,’' " and dint in
the view of the Constitution nnd the law's tho
Union is unbroken, aud to the extent of my abil
ity I shall take care, as the Constitution itself ex-
ircssly enjoins upon me, tlmt tlie laws- of tliu
Jnion be raithfUlly executed ill nil tlie Slates.”
Second, actual conflict ensued. Tlie Smith, it
was believed, misapprehended tlie purpose of die
government in carrying it on, und Congress
deemed it Important to dispel tlmt misapprelicn-
. ■ — • -fcUTIds
sion - by declaring what tlie purpose Wu:
was done iu July, 1801, by Uieir passing die Crit
tenden resolution. Tlie vote in the linuse was
110 for and 2 against if, find lit tho Samite 50 for
and 5 against it. Tlie design to conquer or sub
jugate, or to curtail or interfere, in uny way,

terms, dins disclaimed, and die only iirowcifeli-

spirit nt tlie Constitution, ami to preserve die

Union and the dignity, equality nnd lights of die
several States unimpaired." Congress, t<m, by
the net of July 18, 1881, empowered the Presi
dent to doclare, liy proclamation, “ tlmt tlie in

nation. In the ’ '
words ot on eminent British
statesman, now uo more,“a free Constitution mid
large exclusion , from its beneflts cuuuul subsist
together; the Constitution will destroy them, or
they will, dostcoy the Constitution." It is hoped
thnt, heeding tlie warning, wo shall guard against
the peril by rcmowiug its cause.
The undersigned have not thought it i
to examhib into the legality of die :
necessary
legnlity of the measures
adopted, eithotr by the lam or the present Presi-
,dour,.for llio roioriltioil ot tlio Oputhem States.
It is sufficient lor their purpose to say that if
those of President Johnson ure not justified by
die Constitution, tho same may nt least be said
of those ot ids predecessor. We deem Bitch nn
examination to, tic unnecessary, because, how
ever it' might result, tho pcoplo of the several
States, who possessed, as wq have before said,
die exclusive rigid to decide for themselves what
Constitution they should ndopt, have adopted
those Constitutions under wldcli they respective
ly live. The motive* ot neither, however wheth
er the measure* nre legal or not legal, are linble
to cenanrc. Tho role object of oacb wus to effect
a complete and early Union of nil the States; to
uinku the General Go
ivcrimicnt, ns It did qt first,
embrace nll'thc States; to extend its authority
nnd secure its privileges nnd blessings to all alike.
The purity of motive ol Prcsidcut Johnson in

admitted' I 1 * ' -- r ~ - 1 ■
