The State League is the only recognized organ

having performed its duties to the best of its
ability, it was enjoined on to call another Con-

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The message of President johnson to the
House Of Representatives, announcing his ap-
proval Of the "joint resolution restoring Ten
nessee to her relations to the Union" which
was published in our second edition yester-
day, should be carefully peruseA by all who
wish TO arrive at clear understanding Of the
real merits Of the questions at issue between
the Administration and Congress in reference
to the admission of the Southern States.
Though brief, it is pointed, and contains not
only clear and able review of the past action
ofthe Government, but a lucid exposition Of
the present attitude of the Executive and Lee
gislative branches of the Government, respec.
lively, on the vexed question of restoration
The President takes the broad ground that not
Tennessee only but all of the States lately in
rebellion Were actually restored to their "for.
mer practical relations 10 the Union when
this session Of Congress commenced, in so far
as the Executive could act. and that nothing
remained to be done except the admission into
Congress Of the Senators and Representa- yes
OF the excluded States: a matter over which
the two Houses have entire control. and which
his approval or disapproval would not affect.
He reminds Congress of the fact that s.tbs
amendment TO the Constitution aboljshins
slavery forever within the limits of the coun.
try was also submitted to the States, and thew
were thus in vited to, and did participate in its
ratification-thus exercising the highest func.
tons pertaining TO q State
The admission OF Tennessee il we hope only
the beginning Of the good work 1t is AT any
rate virtually carrying out the policy of the
President, who has only asked from the first
that loyal representatives from the SoutheI n
States should be admitted to Congress Whether
the Tennessee Legislature, did or did not le.
gally ratify the amendment TO the Constitution
the United States proposed by the Thirty
ninth Congress, is an Immaterial question in
this connection Congress, it seems to us.
should only inquire whether the members who
present themselves for admission from any of
the Southern states have been properly elect.
