The Administration Policy To-
wards the Rebs.l States

We find the following in the Delaware
County Free Press, Il Republican print:
"Hon. Geo. w. Julian spoke at the
Court House last Thursday evening. He
had good audience. and was listened to
with attention. He discussed the policy of
dealing with the rebel States, after the re-
bellion shall have been crushed. with abil-
ty and force He insisted that the only
plan by which permanent peace can be re-
stored is to reduce the rebellious States [,
a territorial condition. and place them I'M
der the control of Congress until they be-
come populated with loyal people and fit
to be admitted into the Union upon an
equality with other States
These few words develop the policy of
the Administration. The idea that States
can be obliterated and reduced to terrific
rial condition, subject to the Will Of do
minant party in Congress, is a new inter-
probation of the Constitution. The Presi-
dent and Congress both solemnly declared
that they had 10 right or desire to inter
tere with the domestic institutions of the
States, that there was no intention of con-
quest, but the war was to lie prosecuted for
tie single purpose Of enforcing the nation
al authority over rcbcllious people. But
this is no longer declared to be the purpose
of the war Now it is avowed by the Ad-
minsrat;on party. that the rebellious
States arc to be rec. uced TO territorial cond-
ton and placed under the control of Con-
grcss We should at leAst be consistent IN
the prosecution of the war, OF TIE purpC IS
TO be accomplished 10y it. The argument
has been that no State had the right # Sc
ceding from the Union If such be the
case where i the power to force any State
10 change its relation to the government?
Can we deny the right Of secession and
then legislate State out Of the Union If
4 State cannot discover It's connection with
the Union by lis own act, is not the party
in power wagin@ war to establish the
right Of secession By reducing State to a
territorial condition? If this doctrine be
limited it VII! be concession that the
Federal. Government has the power to re-
ducc any State to 4 territorial condition at
its pleasure. Such untenab!c positions can
not but have the effect to prolong the war
