IHE president AND TuE ANEyluE.-
President johnson massage respecting the
Constitutional Amendment contains three
assertions that are worthy of moment at
tentiln. The hrst is. .-the fact ta.t tbe
joint resolution vas not submitted by tine
two Houses for the approval Of the presi-
dent. This. instead of beng singular
fact, as the Presidents language would
imply. IS the customary fact. There was m
exception N the case Of the TRANSCRIPTION
Amendment, u which President lincoln
inadvertently gave his signature Bu- he
aiterward made thorough examination Oh
the point. and satisfied himself that HE SIP
nature was not required, and it was dizpens-
ed with. The United States Supreme
Court early passed upon this question .aecid-
ing that tue approval Of the President was
not requisite u Joint resolution urOp1sinr
an amendment 70 the Constitution. IL i
strange that President johnson did not
know these facts, o. else that he did not
acknowledge their binding force.
Secondly, the President thinks that tb.
importance Of the amendment Is enhanced
BY the fact that eleven States are sill q.
cluded from representation IN Congress. BE
should have thought Of this before. when
be was urging the ratification Of tie enanci-
patton amendment upon these same eleven
States. II the objection l. good low, 1t was
then. IL Is true he says that those States
have been entirely restored la all their
functions as States IN conformity with the
organize law of the land - but Congress
