not represented let the President ask them
why they ceased to b. represented, Why they
continued to nc nEreprcscnted, and why it
is that they arc not now represented. Ten
ncsscc was for q long time In the con-
dition Of the ten States over Whose
misrepresentation, the President, nj stated
intervals, wcel's so Ifoihselr. Let the Pres
ident ai.swcr how i. was That lie abused his
executive power, 10 bribc mcn In the Tcn-
nrssee Legislature to defeat, by revolution
airy proceedings, the rr.Nsn Of Tennessee to
her allegiance Let him answer how many
weeks lc Played with the hopes and the
fears Of thc people OF that State, and Of the
country, seeking, hy revolutionary acts, to
prevent Tennessee accepting the terms Of
restoration. But Tennessee, in spite Of his
efforts to the contrary, gave the required
bond Of good behavior, and her Senators and
Representatives arc now in Congress. Let
the President defend, If lie c.n, his arrogant
defiance Of popNler Will, in refusing to per-
nit the others of these rebel States from
following the course Of Tennessee.
But the deninl Of the Legitimacy of Con-
eress comes with extreme had grace from
President who owes his election to Al Elcc-
to5a1 College in which only twenty-five States
Lad & roice, and two Of these protested
against his election because he resided in
State not in allegiance to the United States.
The vote ofhis own State wns rcpud;atcl be-
cause at that ti,nc he had not given any
pledge, other than lis own proclamation as
Military Governor. that it would be faithful
to the unlon. The doore Of Congress have
been or,cu. md nre now omen to each of the
uon-reprcseuted States; all that is required
ofthc1n as n condition Of the Abundance Of
their representatives is. thut they will show
constitutions and laws consistent with the
present condition of tho country, and
atfordinw reasonable as.r1rauccs n.aiust
