D
permission and authority Of that constitutional
power against which they rebelIed
The committee say further it has been shown
by evidence that no proof has been given to Con.
gress Of consistency in any Of the so-caued Com
federate States, excepting in Tennessee. ouaIifed
to elect representatives for Congress-. No State
Constitution has the sanction Of the neorla An
so-called legislatures, conventions or oths~ noIit.
ieal bodies have been under military dietsson.
The conclusion Of the committee is that the .povar
of conquerors is not vested in the President that
he can fix terms of settlement, and confer con-
gressional representation on conquered rebels and
traitors. The question before Congress then is
shall rebels and traitors come into Congress and
make their own terms The instinct of self preser
walton argues against it.
Satisfactory security, the committee say, can
only be found in such changes of the organic laws
as shall determine the civil rights and privileges Of
citizens in all parts Of .he republic that represen
taton should be on an equitable basis a stigma
should be fixed treason, and protection be given
loyal people against future claims for expenses in
Cured in the rebellion and for slaves emancipated
by the war, together with an express grant Of
power in Congress to enforce these provisions.
To this end the committee advocate the joint
resolution amendatory to the Constitution, of two
separate bills designed to carry the same into
effect. The committee claim, in conclusion, that
these bills are the result Of Cancellation and con-
sultation.
