The Republican Party and tho ssush--Ths
T. Power and the Dasy Of Csnsrsss.
The republicans have more than a two-thirds
vote in each house of the existing Congress,
and by the late elections they have secured
the same power in the next Congress, if limited
to the States now represented. Going before
the country upon platform Of Southern re-
storason, requiring certain conditions prece-
dent Of the excluded States IS the price Of
their readmission into Congress, this dominant
party and It's policy have been endorsed in all
Inc State elections which have since occurred
from Maine to Oregon. Thus, with An emphs-
sis which admits of no pettifogging or miscon-
struetion, the power and the. propriety Of
| exacting securities for the future as the price
Of the restoration Of the lately insdrgent States
have been reaharmed by the Union States Of the
war.
The Congress thus endorsed in substantial
reelection upon the test Of the pending con.
stitutionsl amendment, may say to the ex-
cluded States this is our ultimstum, accept ii
and resume your places in the government, or
reject IL and stay out But after all leading
idea Of the people Of the North is the speediest
possible restoration Of the outside States on q
solid compact Of reunion. The true interpre-
tatlon Of the recent elections is this-thst the
victorious Union party Of the war not only
| approves the course Of its representatives in
Congress in demanding Of the defeated party
of the rebellion securities for the future,
but authorizes Congress to enforce its
conditions by such measures Of legisla-
ton, under the war power, rs may be
deemed necessary TO the end proposed. Thus
Congress, in general law, may set aside all
the work of reconstruction done by Mr. John
son a. President. and may provide, first, for
the appointment Of military Governor over
| each Of the excluded States, and, next, for the
election Of Legislatures and regular Cover
nors therein, under such restrictions or extern
sions Of the rights Of suffrage % the two houses
may think a. to impose.
| Some such course as this has now, We con-
tend, become the duty Of Congress, in view Of
''the general welfare" and the 'blcssings Of
liberty TO ourselves and our posterity," mas
much a. IL Is manifest that the excluded States,
az now organized, will not, II len to them
selves ratify the pending amendment for
