together under all circumstances and at
every moment OF time The people of
the District of Colum bia and of the ter
ritOries are taxed, although not represents
ed in Congress- If it be true that the
people Of the so-called Confederate States
had no right to throw off the authority OF
the United States; it is equally true that
they are bound at all times 10 share the
burdens of Government They cannot,
either legally or equitably, refuse to bear
their just proportion Of these burdens by
voluntarily abdicating their rights and
privileges as states Of the Union, and re-
tuslng to be represented in the councils
of the nation; much less By rebellion
against national authority and Lowing war.
To hold that by so doing they could es-
cape taxation would be 10 offer q permis-
sion for Instruction, TO reward instead
Of punish treason. To hold that as soon
as Government IS restored to its full au-
thOrIty, 1t can be allowed no time to Sc
cure itself against similar wrongs in the
future, or else omit the ordinary exercise
Of its constitutional power to compel
equal contribution for all towards the ex>
penseS OF Government, would be unreason-
able IN itself and unjust to the nation
1t IS sufficient to reply that the loss of
representation by the people Of the in
surrectionary states was their own Yolun-
tary choice. They might abandon their
privileges, but they could not escape their
obligations. Surely they have no right 10
complain if before resuming their privil-
eyes, and while the people of the United
States are devising measures for the pub,
lie safety, rendered necessary by the act
Of those who thus DISTINGUISHED them
selves, thus are compelled to contribute
their just proportion OF the general bur-
den Of taxation incurred by their wicked
ness and folly. Equally absurd is sthe
pretense that the legislative authority of
the nation must be imperative so far as
they are concerned, while they, bv their
own act, have lost the right to take part
IN It. Such n proposition carries its own
relutation on It's face While thus expos
ing ialacies which as your Committee
believe, are resorted to for the purpose Of
misleading the people, and dstracting
their attention from the questions at issue,
we freely admit that such a condition of
things should be brought, If possible. to
q speedy termination 1t is most desira-
bic that 4 union Of ali the states should
become perfect at the earliest possible
moment consistent with the peace and
welfare OF the nation: that all these states
should become fully represented in the
national councils, and take their share Of
the legislation Of the country The pos
session and exercise Of more than its Just
share of power by amy section Is injurious
as well to that section as 10 all others
It's tendency is distracting and demoraliz~
ing, and such a state of affairs Is only to
be tolerated on the ground Of necessary
rcgrad to the public safety. As soon as
tie safety is secured it should terminate

The President Objects.

The President has sent to the two
houses Of Congress message in regard
10 the Constitutional Amendment proposed
to be submitted to the several state Leg
islatures, in which he argues the impro-
priety of the measure, among other rea-
sons, the absence of the representatives
Of the states late in rebellion.
We regret that the President should
take grounds against this amendment, for.
as we have before said, we look upon it as
quite as lenient rs the south have any
right to expect. Those who ure preclu-
ded from official stations by its provisions.
may be expected to complain, but they
are about the only class, even in the
south, from whom we looked for serious
opposition. We cannot see why those
who have voluntarily torn themselves
from the protection of the government
should be permitted to dictate the terms
Of their restoration. We believe the loval.
sovereign people of the nation. are almost
unit on this question, and in favor Of
