poRrLssp, June IA, 1s66-5,RN
~ u lnw.-The Union State and Legislative
,.tet = elected by y to six hundred majority Con
gress is sustained. - -
:. Congress is sustained y Good bye to Nes-
m;tb and Misrepresentation of loyal Oregon in
the Senate Chamber of the Nation His seat
win soon he occupied by direct representative
of the peoples villa Senator who will, we
doubt not, deny the right of President Johnson
to reconstruct and make laws to his notion, for
the lately rebellious States, but who will, as the
agent of patriotic and law-abiding State,
act in harmony with the representatives of the
people, chosen to complete the great work which
five years of war only fairly commenced.
The Pacific coast people have very plainly spo-
ken their will in this matter, and have set an ex-
ample which will very likely exert an influence
in the approaching elections in Eastern sister
States. Though farthest removed from the Ma
tom Capital, and the of the recent bloody
struggle-a fact which might induce the belief
that they would feel but little interest in the
matter of the closing up of the affairs of the re-
bellion and the reconstruction of the States late
ly in revolt,-yet at every election. from munc-
ipalto State. thus far held, the verdict has been,
:. Congress is sustained ' California has sup
planted the treacherous and imbecile McDougall
with her Cole Oregon will send a true repre-
sentative of her interests and political status
successor to the disloya Nesmth, and when the
time comes loyal Nevada, as in the past, will re-
spond, " Congress is sustained - The political
signs of the times full of encouragement to
the party which gave the Government its undi
vided aid when treason attempted its overthrow.
Another significant and gratifying event is the
passage in the House of Representatives of the
Senate Constitutional Amendment by vote of
100 against 32-every Union member, including
Raymond, Hale. Doolittle, Cowan and Green
Clay Smith, of Kentucky, voting in the aflirma-
tive. Certified copies of the Amendment will
be Immediately forwarded to the Governors Of
the several States for ratification by their
spective Legislatures, it having been decided, on
the suggestion of President Lincoln, in case of
the amendment abolishing slavery, that the Ex-
ecutive have nothing to do with such legislation.
The Marysville appeal remarks in connection
with the passage of the Amendment -: The
Presidents plan of reconstruction has gone to
the wall, and there are mono left to do it homage
but the Copperheads. Thus ends the reconstruc-
ton struggle in Congress. The representatives
Of the loyal masses, true to principle and the is
sues of the war, lay down platform for the Tn
on party to stand upon. The Rebel States are
invited to resume their places in the Union, and
come back under the ;egis of the flag, amending
heir several Constitutions in accordance with
The mandates of the Government. If they ac-
cept, the Union is restored tomorrow. If they
decline, they remain out of the Union by their
own choice. The plea that the Amendments
pronered are - unjus and oppressive, - and that
their adoption would be ''humiliatng to the
States adopting them, cannot be urged with pro-
priety reason. The loyal Statcs-the Federal
Government-have the right to demand every
guaranty it may deem essential and proper from
the Rebel States as permit to return to the Tn
ion. However humilating oppressive these
terms may be, the rebel States must accept them,
Or remain as Territories of the United States.'
