II Is a fayorite argument With the radicals
that everybody ought TO support the Admins
tration, as the only possible way of sustaining
the Constitution. Those who use this argu-
ment would do well to remember that the poll
cy of the Administration requires the Consti-
tuition to be amended The Administration
party would not amend tie Constitution to
prevent civil war When Crittendeu's propo-
sition TO that effect came up, the Republicans
secuted the idea, aud both houses of Congress
declared By the adoption of Clarks substitute,
that the Constitution was sufficient for them.
Their emancipation policy now requires that
proposed amendment is paraded and urged in
the message, and adopted By the press that one
year ago declared the Constitution was suffi
cient for them. That is the way the Admins
tration party support the Constitution and the
Government of the country. How can they
reasonably demand the States in rebellion to
return to the Constitution when they are ur-
giug amendments to the Constitution designed
especially TO aid them in carrying out their
sectional doctrines against the Institutions Of
the States in rebellion .? Is it not easier to
bring them back under the Constitution as it
is leaving the States to deal with the question
of slavery within their respective borders, as
even the compensated emancipation scheme of
Mr.. Lincoln recognizes their right TO do. On
the constitutional question, the Republicans
occupied this position in 1861 If the rebels
cannot abide by the Constitution, they can
have war In 1862: If they cannot carry out
their party doctrines under the Constitution,
they will amend it.
