which loyal state government could
sustain itself without the presence o
Federal bayonets. Hence the ques
tion of time is almost purely military.
Every foot of the territory Of those
states is now under military rule,
which ought to remain nntii it can
be shown to be quite safe to withdraw
and leave the preservation Of peace
and order to the civil power of the
state, We hope, therefore, the Pres
ident will keep the military govern
ment in exercise in each revolted
St te until disloyalty is so completely sub
dued or hunted out, as to render Il safe to
restore the blessings Of civil rule. A meth
cd which has encountered so great difficult
ties IN Missouri, cannot. be ventured upon
in Tennessee. The very narrow escape
which Kentucky has just achieved in the
late election. would be impracticabie in
Louisiana. Let us advance safely, even if
but slowly.
We believe that the reconstruction Of the
state governments, which is the grand
problem before us, can, be accomplished
in this simple way, on these general prin-
ciples, with perfect security to the general
welfare. No state government, elected
solely by the votes Of men Of tested loyalty
under the efficient protection Of Federal
power. with all disloyal men excluded from
the ballot, will attempt to overthrow the
general paclfication, by arraying itself
against the policy of the United States for
the overthrow of the rebellion and the es-
tablishment of peace. tbs far more proba-
bic that such, re constructed government
will wish to go beyond the Proclamation
and the Act of Confiscation, in order more
effectnally to secure Indemnity for the
past, and security for ihe future. Neso-
