that while they were here engaged IN thelr
object he hoped there was another object IN
which they were equally interested-the
thorough restoration of the government
The full and complete reconciliation OF the
country ought to be a precursor to all move

reconciliation would produce the develop

the imposition of high duties.

greater demand for the currency in extend

waiting the necessity of diminishing 1t, all
danger would be averted. The paramount
object, however, is to let us have restored
government united Union.

governmental restored Union-a thorough

CoNTUMACY OF THE Seeded STATES
Mr.. McClung Qde.) offered the following:
Whereas, 1t is the opinion of this House
that the continued contumacy of the seeded
States renders Unnecessary to exercise Congress
sional legislation in order to give the loyal

ton thereto, makes it necessary to keep on
foot a large standing army to secure the
present enjoyment OF these rights, to main
tain the authority of the National Govern
ment, and to keep the peace: and
Whereas, The country is already heavily
burdened by war debt, incurred to defend
the nationality against an infamous rebellion,
and it is neither just nor polite to infiict
this vast additional expense on the peace
full industry of the nation; therefore,
Resolred, That it be referred to the Joint
Committee of Fifteen OF the Senate and
House to ascertain whether such contumacy
be clearly manifest, and if so, to inquire into
the eXpediency of levying contributions on
the disloyal Inhabitants of such seeding
States to defray the extraordinary expenses

eral Government, and that said Committee
be instructed to report by bill or otherwise
