States. but to defend and maintain the supre
macy Of the Constitution and all laws made il
pursuance thereof. and 10 preserve the UnioI
with all the dignity, equality, and rights o
the seyerel States unimpaired; and that a
soon a. these objects" were accomplished tn,
war ought to cease" In some instances, Sen
stors were permitted to continue their legis
lative functions. while in other instances
Representatives were elected and admitted tc
seats after their States had formally declared
their right to withdraw from the Union. and
were endeavoripg to maintain that right by
force of arms. All ofthe States whose people
were in insurreetiou, as States. were included
in the spportionment of the direct tar Of
twenty millions Of dollars annually laid upon
the United States by the act approved 5th
August, 1861 Congress, BY the act Of March
4, 1862, and by the spportionment Of repre-
sentstion Hereunder, also recognized their
presence as States IN the Union; aud they
have, for Judicial purposes, been divided into
districts, as States alone can be divided. The
same recognition appears in the recent legislA-
tion in reference TO Tennesse, which evidently
rests upon the fact that the functions Of the
State were not DESTROYED by the rebellion, but
