and the policy OF government To the restoration
of the Union. the support of our Constitution It

the objects thus clearly set forth justified war

their arms; it denies them political existence
which enables them to come back upon any
terms; It holds that States in the revo!ted section
of the country must be ere established;" that
the States hereafter made may or may not hold
names or boundaries OF the States thus destroyed.

these names and boundaries. &C.. should be
maintained

end 10y the submission OF these States to the
Constitution and their return to the Union. but il

that there are no political organizations which
