ARE TEzE- REBEL STATES EK.
CLUDED.
The most dangerous, because iusidious and |
plausible, Of the various false impressions
sought to be established by the President |
and the Philadelphia Convention, is con-
taincd in the substantial declaration that
the Congress by its action, and by its plan
Of restoration, seeks the Indefinite exclusion |
Of the rebel States from representation,
while The plan Of the President proposes to
admit the Representatives ri thnse States |
without delay. The President, In all his J
larang1cs. Doo1ittlc and Cowan, and Weed /
and Raymond, in all their speeches, the |
Philadelphia Convention in its addscss and |
declaration, tho John.onized and the Cop |
perlead press in their every issue, all unite |
In presenting to the people this false aver
mcnt, and upon that make their argument |
against Congress.
We know Of no party in Congress, or out
Of 1t, thai proposes, By legislation, or Con-
stitutio1:al amendment, or Otherwise, to de-
priye any State nf its representation In Con-
grcss or in the Electoral College, or to re-
duce or impair TINT representation by any
rule which docs not apply equally to all the
States. The question 1cI,rc Congress has
not been, aud is not now, whether any State
shall he deprived Of Its representation. Such
q aqucstion has never been considered or pro-
posed In Congress, in any form. Such
proposition could not he seriously cntcr-
tninca for moment. The pr0nlrt aslnls-
sion Of Tennessee to both l,rancl,ea Of Con-
gress gives the lie to nll tl.e declarations Of
the PHILADELPHIA Convention.
The mode In which t1le Southern States
:1ost their representation i'll Congress was ac-
curasefy described by Andrew johnson In his
sevcral reconstruction proclamations-tlici
s'c1vll Governments Ind been oycr.hrown."
The question now Is, whether lis rroc,arna-
tfon is sufficient torcbuild nll over the Sontt,
