the conditions hereinbefore stated, and such
others, if any, not contravening such condi-
ton, which may be deemed expcdient by
those framing the new State Government.
n To avoid misunderstanding it may be
proper to say that this proclamation SO far
as it relates to State Governments, has no
reference to States in which loyal State Gov
rernments have all the while been maintained.
For the e-same reason, it may be proper to
further say, that whether members sent to
Congress from any State shall be admitted
to seats conventionally rests exclusively
rests exclusively with the respective houses,
and not to any extent with the Executive
And still further, that this proclamation is
intended to present to the people of the
States wherein the National authority has
been subverted, mode by which the nation
al authority over every loyal State Govern
ment may be established within said States,
or any of them And while the mode pre-
sented is the best the Executive can suggest,
with his present impressions, it must not be
understood that another possible mode would
not be accepted
