constituency in any one. of the so-calIed
Confederate S-ssSessses, un loss we except the
State of Tennessee, qualified to elect Sena-
tors and Representative in Congress. No
State Constitution, or amendment to
State Constitution, has had the sanction of
the people. All the so-called legislation of
State Conventions and Legislatures has
been had under military d1cJauon. II the
President may, at his WILL and under his
own authority, whether as military COM
mander or Chief Executive, qualify per-
sons to appoint Senators and elect Repre-
Sentatives, and empower others to eject
and appoint them, he thereby practically
controls the, organization OF the Leglsla-
tive Department. The Constitutional form
of Government is thereby practically de-
stroyed, and its powers absorbed IN the
Executive. And while your Committee DO
not for a moment 1mpute to the President
any such design, but cheerfully concede
to him the most patriotic motives, they
can not but look with alarm upon a prece-
dent so fraught with danger to the repub-
lie.
3 Ninth-The necessity of providing ade-
quate safeguards for the future, before re-
storing the insurrectiOnary States to a par
ticipation in the direction of public affairs,
is apparent from the bitter hostility TO the
Government and people of the United
states yet existing throughout the con-
quered territory, as proved inconteStibly
by the testimony OF many witnesses and
undisputed facts.
Tenth-The conclusion of your commit
tee, therefore, is that the so-called Confede-
rate States are not; at present, entitled to
representation in the Congress of the
United States; that before allowing such
representation, adequate security for fI-
ture peace and safety should be required;
that this can only be found in such changes
of the organic law shall determine the
civil rights and principles of all citizens in
all parts of the Republic, shall place repre-
Sentation on an equitable basis, shall fix a
stigma upon treason and protect Che loyal
people against future claims for the eX-
penses incurred in support OF rebellion
and manumitted slaves-together with an
express grant in Congress to enforce these
provisions. To this end they offer a joint
resolution for amending the Constitution,
and the two several bills designed to carry
the same into effect before referred to.

Reconstruction.

The report of the Reconstruction
Committee of Congress is one of the
most interesting papers that was ever
laid before that honorable body and
the country. We regret that its great
length prevents our copying it in full
We presume, however, that every one
of our readers will have opportunities
for reading it, and meditating upon its
facts and arguments. 1t is so calm
and dignifed in its statements, so
clear and convincing in its argument,
and so unanswerable in its conclusions,
that we doubt not it will have the eff
feet of convincing the whole country
at least the entire loyal part.of it
that Congress has acted wisely in
investigating thoroughly the whole
question of reconstruction before ad-
hitting the Representatives of the So
called reconstructed States to seats in
that body. We believe, too, the peo-
pie viii heartily indorse and approve
the recommendations of the Commit
nnfttee, insisting upon Constitutional
guarantees before admitting the in
surrectionary States to their former
standing in the Government.
The Committee begins its report by
enumerating the extent and character
of its labors and the difficulties that
interfered with the discharge of its
duties. It then depicts in brief, yet
comprehensive, manner the condition
of the rebel government and States at
the cessation of hostilities. They had
no laws. They were virtually without
government. President JOHNSON
himself had very emphatieally affirm
ed that they were without civil govern
ment. In this condition it devolved
upon the United States Government
to establish law and order.
The Presidents powers in-the re-
establishment of the national au-
thority is next defined. He is simply
an executive officer, whose duty it is
to enforce laws already enacted. He

The Two Parties.

The Mobile (Ala.) Notio.talist gives
the following resume of the compost
ton of the great Union party of the
country:
THE UNION PARTY.-The personnel of
the Republican party is remarkable. In
the North it comprises within its ranks
nineteen-twentieths of the members OF all
Protestant churches, excepting the Episeo-
palians-and a large majority of the mem
bers of that denomination almost the en-
tire membership Of all moral and benevo-
lent associations; four-fifths of the literati,
professional men, teachers, ETC.; three
fourths of the returned soldiers: large
proportion of 1.-THE prominent business men
especially miners. manufacturers, and
bankers, and certainly decided majority
of the farming population. Ever since its
formation, this party has been growing
with exceeding rapidity, and its accessions
have been principally from the above
classes, which do not change easily-untiI
now it controls every Northern state in
Guiding Missouri
The Nationalist is not far from
wrong in its figures. And now what
is the composition of the party which
is in opposition to this great Union
organization? 1t is principally made
the 9&offh Who opposed the Goyerh-
ment during the war; and of the re-
rebels of the South.
The personnel" of this latter party
is no less remarkable than that of the
Republican party, and furnishes food
for the thoughtful consideration of
every lover of his country.
