REPORT or COMMITTEE oS REVOLUTIONS.

irst law alike Of nations, and of nature; aud
| that upon the conclusion OF n war, that has cost
the loyal States half a million lives, aud i'm
| posed on the nation debt of three thousand
millions Of dollars, it is both the right and duty
of the Government 10 exact such terms of its
late enemies as will give the people enduring
! peace, and lay the foundation of the Govern
ment in justice and freedom.
2nd. That as the loyal people sustained the
Government, and carried the country triumph
autly through the dangers that beset it, in the
late rebellion, the settlement of the questions
growing out of the war, belong properly to
them, and the only right the rebel States have
in the matter, is to accept such terms as in the
opinion of patriotic people, the glory and the
safety Of the nation may require.
Sd. That the work of reconstruction, aud the
terms on which the rebel States may again par
ticipate in the Government, belong properly to
| Representatives elected TO Congress, fresh from
the people; and the Union people of Wala
| Walla cordially endorse the measures adopted
| by Congress for the restoration and reeonsiruc-
tion of the rebel States.
4th That national interests require the early
construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
and.that the Government should extend to this
road the same aid, 10 lands and money, given
to the Central Pacific Railroad.
9th. That, while as a patriotic people, we
cheerfuly pay the taxes requisite to support the
Government, and gradually eXtiuguish the pub
and the most rigid economy and honesty ia the
management of national affairs, to the end that
taxes may at an early day be materially reduced.
