AN IMPORTANT DEBATE.


The debate (which We publish elsewLcrc)
on the resolution proposed by the House an.
pointing Joint Committee on Reconstruc-
tion, shows 4 deep sense, both By Senators
and Representatives, of the responsibility
which dcvoaves on them, equally with the
President, of deciding for themselves whether
the States latc}y in rebellion are set entitled
to represent ation In Congress o. not. Mr.
Doolittle and few others are bent on an i'm
mediate admission Of tho Southern members.
either from sympathy With The South Itself or
from desire to control the Presidents pa
trouage by making themselves his special Ia
vositcs and Gattcrers. They would have pre-
fcrred that the whole question Of the admis-
sion Of: Southern members should be one Of
credentials merely, and should be passed to
The Committee on Credentials. But an over
Nhelning majority of Congress bc;as
II 10 be their. duty, : as au In
dependent co-ordinstc hrr1ch of the
Government, to decide the preliminary ques-
lions, whether the Pfeldeut's policy OF recon-
strnctiou Is sound md safe, whether the
organizations claiming to be State Govern
meuts IN those States arc republican In form,
whether their constitutions as adopted, their
legislation. including their b,ack codes, their
elections, thcir degree Of peace and order or
the conhay-whether all these arc consist

We hear much said In cca sin quarters about
The necessity Of reconciliation, ais ground
fer admitting the members elect from tue
eleven States lately In rebellion, Immediately
to thcir r4oats In Congress. We desire TO dis
cuss every isaue ca1m1y, tempe7utely and ac-
cording to the actual tacta Of the case. To
argue q necessity far reconciliation implies
present hostility, and where no hostility ex-
lists there can be no RECONCILIATION, for there
Is nothing to reconcile Now, there c11sts
among The people Of The North, OF whatever
party. no hostility to those Of the South.
We provoked no War and began no war, but
being compelled to defend the Union agninst
The Shareholders, We fought till slavery and
rebellion were destroyed, since which
