doctrine is not taught BY the Constitution
nor sustained by any precedeats, and 10
true loyal citizen ever did, and | trust
mover will, maintain such an absurd idea.
Then, Mr.. Speaker, as to the necessity
and consti!utionality Of the bill under con-
sideration | upon mature delibcration have
no doubt; and It's provisions, ii faithfully
carried out, will surely hasten the resto-
ration Of those States to full political
rights, so as to give them representation
in Congress, and on this poiut [ will add
that this bill, or similar one, is asked
for by the loyal citizens resident therein
am somewhat, surprised, Sir. Speaker,
at the arguments OF some Of The gentle
men on this side OF the House. Tho
honorable gentleman from Massachusetts,
Nr. Banks finds fault because the bill
does not provide a mode Of restoration

there Is no time 20 cayilj let Us DO ona
'hihS AT a t;ue. 1his bill has been
agreed uFon b. the Recon struc;ion Com
mlt!ee, composed Of members from each
House. II, as the gentleman seems to

made by Alexander the Great when Lc

Ious States. The loy9! people, have no

Ihe honorable gentleman from New !, ,ork
DIR. DAVIS also interposes objections to
the bill, aad one remark made by bim
