to-wili
The Union n the slaies Il, IN
every eHse lndisaoluble, and Il per.
pctual The constitution II the United
statcs, and The laws pa.aed by Con.
gfe.s In pursuance thereof, supreme
and constant, and universal in their
obligation
The rights, thc dignity and the
equality Of the States In the Union,
including the right Of representation
IN Congress, are solcmnly guamnleed
by that constitution, 10 save which
from overthrow 80 much blood aud
treasure were expended IN the late
civil war,
There Is no right, anywhere, Il
dissolve the Union, or 10 scparat,
States from the Union, either by vol
untary withdrawal, by force Of arm
or by Congressional action; neither
by the secession Of the States, nor b,
the exclusion OF their loyal and qual.
ifcd representatives, nor by the ma
tional government In any other form
Slavery Is abolished, and neither
can, nor ought to be, rc-establishcd
in any State or territory within ON
jurisdiction;
Each State has the undoubte,
right to prescribe the qualification
Of Its own electors, and no cxterna
power rightfully can, or ought h
) dictate, control, or influence the frc
and voluntary action Of the States il
the exercise Of that right;
) The maintenance inviolate of th
rights Of the States, and espcciall
E of the right of each State to orde
. and control its own domestic concerns
, according to its own Judgment exclu
/ sively, subject only to the constitu
1 ton Of the United States, is essentii
to that balance of power on whic
the perfection and endurance of ou
!. political fabric depend, and the over
{ throw Of that system by the usurpa
f ton and Capitalization Of power
f Congress would be a revolution, dar
$ gerous to republican government an
destructive of liberty;
Each house Of Congress is mad
by the constitution, the sole judge I
. the elections, returns and qualifc'
e tons Of its members; but the exclt
sion Of loyal senators and represer
tatives, properly chosen and qualil
a ed, under the constitution and law
= Is unjust and revolutionary;
Every patriot should frown upo
n all these acts and proceedings ever,
s where, which can serve no other pu
Is pose than to rekindle the animosi,i
Of war, and the effect Of which upc
our moral, social and material inte
ests at home, and upon our standir
abroad, differing only in degree,
injurious like war itself;
n The purpose Of the war haviI

constitution by putting down the r
bellion, and the rebellion, havir
E been suppressed, all resistance to u
u authority of the general governmei
: being at an end, and the war havir
