Thaddeus Stevens, member. Of Congress

ipg extracts:
TIE SOUTH THREW OFF ITS ALLEGIANCE.
Four years Of bloody md expensive war;:
against the United States by eleven States,
under Government called the II Confederate
States Of America" to which they acknowl-
edged allegiance, have oTerthrown all gov
ernments within those states which could b.
acknowledged as legitimate BY the Union
The armies Of the Confederate States having
been conquered and subdued, and their terri
tory possessed by the United States, 1t be-
comes necessary to establish governments
therein, which shall be republican In form and
principles, mud form d more perfect union''
with tic parent Government. 1t Is desirable
that such course should be pursued as to cx.
clude from those governments every yes-
t1gc Of human bondage, and render tho
same forever impossible In this nation !;
and to take care that no principles of
selfdestruction shall be inco1posatcdth therein:
In efecting this 1t Is to be hoped that no pro-
vision Of the Constitution will be infringed,
and no principle Of the law Of nations l{src-
garded:, Especially must ne take care that
IN rebukiDg this unjust and reasonable war
the authorities of the Union shall indulge in
no acts Of usnrrpatfon which may tend to i'm
pair the stability and permacy Of the nation
Within these Limitations we lIold it to be the
duty Of the Government to lntiict condign
punishment on the rebel bellleerents, md 50
weaken their hands that they can never again
endanger the Union, and SO reform their mu-
niclpal Institutions rs to make them Republl-
can in spirit as we'll as in name.
WHAT SHOULD pE DONE WITH TIE SOUTH.
We especially Insist that the property of
the calet rebels should be seized and appro-
prfated to the payment Of the national debt,
caused by the unjust and wicked war which
they instisated. How can such punish.nents
be inflicted and such forteitures be produced
without doing violence to established princi-
tst. To treat those States ns never having
been out Of the Union, because the coustit1:
